August 15, 2021 at 08:00AM Working out what your skin really needs to look and feel its best can be tricky, but there are a few steps that skin experts unanimously agree should be part of a good skincare routine. First, a good cleanser; think of this step as the foundation on which the rest of your routine is built. Second, an SPF; wearing sun protection is the one piece of skincare advice that I hear most from dermatologists for preventing everything from signs of ageing to pigmentation. Third, moisturiser is vital for every skin type, from oily to dry, for repairing the skin’s barrier and maintaining hydration levels. Finally, a serum, which is possibly one of my favourite steps in my skincare routine and one that Kate Moss’s facialist told me is key to maintaining youthful, glowy skin.However, serums undoubtedly have a bit of a bad reputation for being costly, so it’s understandable that many people…

August 15, 2021 at 08:00AM If you’re a regular reader of Who What Wear, you’re probably well acquainted with Kate Middleton’s wardrobe. She dresses pretty classically, but occasionally she’ll surprise us with something a bit different (case in point: this chic outfit with Warehouse and Chanel). The list of the designers she often turns to is pretty definite: often Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham and occasionally Erdem, Emilia Wickstead and Roksanda. But it’s not just the more expensive end of the spectrum she’s a fan of. She regularly wears high-street pieces from a range of brands, from Superga sneakers to & Other Stories dresses. But, and I’m going to put my stake in the ground here, her favourite store has to be Zara.For years she’s worn pieces from the high-street brand and always makes them look super expensive. Yesterday she attended a Euros game with…

August 15, 2021 at 08:00AM Do you feel that? The flowers are blooming, the sun is staying out longer, and celebrities are back at it with their bikini posts. That’s right—nature is healing, and the Earth is returning to its natural state. With all things summer on the brain, we can’t stop thinking about all the stunning swimwear trends that are hitting the market right now, and based on the Instagram feeds on our favourite A-listers, neither can they. True, there might only be a handful of days that we’ll be wearing these in the UK but we can still hope that the summer is going to be hot. Celebs from Hailey Bieber to Lizzo to Jennifer Lopez (who quite frankly never takes a day off) aren’t waiting another moment to break out their chicest swimwear looks, and in true Who What Wear fashion, we’re here to document every last bikini. As summer goes from…

August 15, 2021 at 08:00AM It seems like no matter our given hair, most of us spend way too much of our time wishing for something else. Those with curly hair will go to great lengths to straighten it, just as natural brunettes will spend hours in colourists’ chairs trying to achieve the perfect blonde. And while everyone has the right to express themselves through the haircut, colour, or style of their choosing, education around best practices for one’s own hair could be the difference between hating what grows out of our heads and loving it. According to Erica Conan, ColorProof director of education, this is especially true when it comes to picking the best hair colours for thin hair. While those with thin hair have been convinced for years that ultra-light colours are the only ones that work for this hair type, this veteran stylist disagrees. “Colour preservation is key…

August 15, 2021 at 06:39AM No word of a lie; I’ve spent the last two years contemplating the purchase of a leather blazer. I’m not one to part with cash flippantly, so an item with this sort of cost attached to it always requires a lot of consideration. I was so close to taking the shopping leap last autumn, but given the fact restrictions were still very much in place at the time, I decided against it. After all, if I were to buy a leather blazer, I’d want people to see me wearing my leather blazer. Although not even a crystal ball can tell us what the future holds, this autumn already looks to be more hopeful and, for the lack of a better word, normal. So I’ve started to think about making that all-important leather-blazer purchase once more. Wanting to ensure I’ll get adequate wear of…

August 15, 2021 at 06:00AM Whether you’re a makeup aficionado or take a more pared-back approach to beauty, I think it’s a fairly safe bet to assume that you’ve heard of Bobbi Brown. The renowned makeup artist launched her eponymous makeup brand back in the early ‘90s, starting with a line of wearable lipsticks before releasing the now-cult Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick. Tired of the excessive, editorial-style makeup of the late '80s and early '90s, Brown’s motivation was clear from the outset: simple, wearable products that slot effortlessly into your makeup bag and don’t require makeup artistry levels of skill to look good. Since Brown parted ways with her namesake brand a few years back, the industry has been waiting with bated breath to see what she does next, and the time has finally arrived. Enter Jones Road.Brown compares the products to a “Swiss army knife: easy, cool,…

August 15, 2021 at 06:19AM I don’t have a fashion crystal ball, sadly, so I can’t tell you what the weather will be in a few weeks’ time. But you know what I can tell you? In a little under a month, we’re going to be in autumn, and that, my friends, is what I like to call midi-dress time. For starters, it’s the best length whatever your height. It’s also great for the slightly warmer autumn days but also a great option for cooler months, making it the ideal outfit option for the changeable weather we’re currently experiencing. What I’m saying is, and there’s no fighting me on this, the midi dress reigns supreme. Hands down, it’s also the best frock to wear with boots.In short, it is the Goldilocks of dresses—not too long and not too short, which makes it ideal for showing off…
