August 10, 2021 at 08:00AM With nail salons back open for business, my Saved folder on Instagram is rapidly filling up with manicure inspiration for the season ahead, and I’ve noticed one unexpected look that’s trending right now: glitter nails. Yes, while pastel hues and cute nail art still look set to be classic summer staples, the coolest girls are dressing up their nails with sparkly polishes and pops of shimmer. And I’m not mad about it. After all, while glitter nails have traditionally been popular during the winter months, the fact that party season was nonexistent last year means that glitter is coming out to play this summer instead.Still need some convincing? While glitter nails might conjure images of 7-year-old you at a birthday party, this nail trend is surprisingly wearable. In fact, from minimalist hints of shimmer to full-frontal sparkle, there are so many ways to embrace twinkly nails. Ahead, I’ve pulled together…

August 10, 2021 at 08:00AM When you’re admiring someone’s mirror selfie online, it’s a given that most eyes will be gorging on what’s happening in the background as well as the outfit in question, right? As someone who gorges a lot, I love this incidental aspect of Instagram—it satisfies my inherent nosiness and provides endless décor inspiration.After peeking at the furniture and accessory choices in the homes of some of the world’s most stylish women, I’ve come to note certain key themes that can really elevate a space. The good news is that you don’t need an endless renovation budget to tap into the luxurious look. With a few accessories that call on opulent textures and materials, you, too, can channel that sophisticated vibe in one easy (and affordable) move. This could even be a cake stand that rarely ever gets to see the light…

August 10, 2021 at 08:00AM Dressing for your age isn’t a concept I subscribe to. The wonderful thing about fashion is that it’s one of the purest forms of expression, and that should never feel restrictive. As far as preaching to you about what you should and shouldn’t wear when you reach a certain age, that’s not what Who What Wear is or ever will be about. If you like something and it makes you feel good, then that’s what you should be wearing—end of story. Still, I understand that there are specific items those from certain age brackets tend to gravitate towards, whether they mean to or not. For example, I wore a lot more heels in my teens and 20s than I do now in my 30s. But that’s not why we’re here. Instead, I want to talk about the fashion trends that typically appeal to all ages, and I’m not…

August 10, 2021 at 08:00AM I’m old enough to remember Y2K fashion the first time around. I can still vividly recall the cowl-neck black top I wore with my knee-length stonewash denim skirt and a choker for New Year’s Eve 1999. I loved that outfit at the time, and 14-year-old me was very happy about it, but I know there isn’t much from it I’d wear today. However, thanks to Tik Tok and the fact that the 2000s were 20 years ago, there is a current revival going on of everything related to Y2K fashion. According to a Stylight report these turn-of-the-millennium trends are booming, thanks to Gen Z discovering and showcasing them on Tik Tok. While I’m not keen to re-create much from my wardrobe from that era, there are plenty of other trends that still look good today. I delved into the archives to dig up some of the…

August 10, 2021 at 08:00AM I’m a huge fan of ‘70s fashion—the era created a host of trends that still stand up today, whether you realise they’re from that time or not. Think of our current obsession with bright over-the-knee boots, folk-inspired printed dresses, velvet and corduroy, boho blouses, midi skirts and so on. While the '70s sweeps over the runways every couple of seasons, there’s always still a hint of it on the streets if you look closely.Think of the iconic designer names that were indelibly marked into history during this decade, like Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld and Diane von Furstenburg. It was also a period where mass-market, trend-driven fashion was also more readily available. Barbara Hulanicki’s Biba kick-started the idea in London a decade earlier, alongside boutiques like Bus Stop, and cool, connected girls were able to switch up their…

August 10, 2021 at 08:00AM Everyone deserves a beauty editor in their group chat for on-the-go questions on everything from the best concealer to where to go for a manicure that’ll last beyond the weekend. With the enviable job of testing and reviewing a seemingly endless supply of beauty products, they’re the best bet for product recommendations. The downside? When you’ve got every beauty brand in the world at your disposal, that often equates to using products that have a whole lot of numbers succeeding the pound sign.

I can’t stand the cold, so hopping round a…
