H&M Just Dropped the Most Expensive-Looking Basics

October 02, 2021 at 08:15AM I’ll admit there are a lot of minimalist edits knocking about these days. Whether it’s the high street offering luxe-looking pieces or designer brands whose whole aesthetic is about pared-back simplicity, it’s a trend that’s been inescapable for the past few seasons. Daniel Lee’s designs for Bottega Veneta have obviously been a huge influence, as have The Row’s covetable pieces, but let us not underestimate the lasting legacy of Phoebe Philo’s CĂ©line too. Here’s why it’s so popular: It screams understated luxury, even when it might not be. Case in point: H&M’s new autumn edit, which is nothing if not a minimalist’s dream.So how do less expensive brands achieve this rich aesthetic? It’s all about the silhouettes, the cut of the pieces, the fabrics and the colours. An obvious choice for the minimalist palette is black, but there are also khaki, brown, cream, plus true…

Here’s How French Girls Are Wearing the Anti–Skinny Jean Trend

October 02, 2021 at 08:00AM We here at Who What Wear like to talk in great detail (and with much passion!) about our jeans. They are one of the hardest-working items in our wardrobes, after all. We’ve already touched upon the biggest jean trends we’ll all be wearing in 2021—including ‘90s baggy styles, cross-over waistbands and, of course,with wider-leg styles coming back in general, it only makes sense that flares have returned.Yes, friends, the '70s silhouette is back, and we’ve already spotted them on a host of street style leaders (back in September last year, when Fashion Week was still happening) as well as on celebrities such as Katie Holmes. Thanks to designers such as Balmain, Victoria Beckham and Ulla Johnson, leg-lengthening flares are set to be a staple part of our wardrobes this year. And we’ve noticed that fashionable French women, in particular, have been…

Top Hairstylists Have Spoken—These Are the Best Cuts for Every Face Shape

October 02, 2021 at 08:00AM Within the ever-colliding stratospheres of fashion and beauty, “rules” have become a bit passĂ©, if not obsolete altogether. Gone are the days when we’d refuse to wear white after Labor Day or dismiss navy and black as an ill-conceived colour pairing. Currently, we feel inspired to dye our hair a demurely shocking shade of lavender. A hot-pink eyelid is cooler than yesteryear’s smoked-out cat eye, and we’re even experimenting with crystal-studded manicures and cute-but-clashing polish shades. Our point? It’s an exciting time to be in fashion and beauty, and more so than ever before, our hair, makeup and fashion aesthetic reflect that.Hair, especially, has been the comeback kid of 2021. Previously old-fashioned styles like the mullet have been artistically resurrected, and we currently own more scrunchies, hair claws and butterfly clips than we did circa 1999. Impressive. That said, one…

These 21 Jumpers Will Make You Excited for Autumn

October 02, 2021 at 06:33AM If you’re someone who is allergic to colour, then you should look away now, because this season’s jumper trend is a no-holds-barred rainbow extravaganza. While beige has become a byword for luxury in recent years, the A/W 21 runways were awash with saturated hues, from Bottega’s Kermit green to Prada’s deep cobalt blue. Who knew paintbox brights could look so chic? Not me. These eye-popping shades look fabulous on the runway, but I would imagine that some people might feel intimidated by their shouty aesthetic, which is why a colourful jumper is, for me, an easy way to inject brightness into my autumn wardrobe. You can wear it with everything from your favourite jeans to a classic midi skirt, and almost all of the bright colours will perfectly balance out the neutral beige and cream separates already sitting in your wardrobe.  Of course, you can also go to town with head-to-toe…
