August 07, 2021 at 08:00AM Skincare can be really expensive. In fact, I’m kind of fed up of tip-toeing around the fact that in so many cases, we’re all being painfully overcharged for certain skincare products. Brands know all too well the price that we’re willing to pay for great skin, and they’re not afraid to take advantage of it. However, as our skincare priorities have shifted, not only are brands charging obscene amounts of money for efficacious products, but they’re also driving up prices on products that look more aesthetically pleasing. As a result of this, it’s safe to say that when it comes to skincare, price does not always reflect quality.So when a no-frills product range comes along that doesn’t have a gimmicky name, doesn’t come housed in Instagram-worthy bottles and generally lacks fancies, it can be very easy for it…

August 07, 2021 at 08:00AM If you love fashion and in particular French fashion, then you’ll know who Carine Roitfeld is. Esteemed editor of Vogue Paris for a decade, she then went on to found CR her eponymous fashion magazine and continues to be held up as a bastion of classic Parisian styling. She is often photographed during fashion weeks wearing her signature formfitting outfits; usually a pencil skirt with a matching jacket or in a chic tux with a hint of a lacy camisole underneath. Jeans, if we’re being honest, haven’t been a regular feature of her wardrobe repertoire. But this week, the 66-year-old editrix surprised us all by getting on a pair of straight-leg blue jeans, and even she knew it would come as a surprise to some, stating on her Instagram post revealing said denim: “I also do jeans now.” While this is definitely quite…

August 07, 2021 at 08:00AM Holly Willoughby wearing a Rixo dress on This Morning.Rixo is a great British success story. Best friends Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey created their fashion business from the front room in their student flat in 2015. Five years later, their vintage-style dresses have had a colossal impact on how women in the UK dress. I can’t remember the last wedding I went to where I didn’t see a guest wearing Rixo, and it’s the brand that is mentioned the most among my friends. Look in any high-street store and you’ll also see its influence.Rixo creates beautiful silk dresses you can wear to any occasion and looks to vintage prints and silhouettes to ensure that these are classics you can treasure. When you’re spending £250 on a dress, you want it to be something you can wear again and…

August 07, 2021 at 06:11AM While I love to savour every last minute of summer, it has come time to accept that autumn is just around the corner. And although I am not particularly enthused about the idea of cooler weather, I have to admit I am quite excited by the prospect of trying all of the season’s new trends. When it comes to dresses, there are a few themes we are already starting to see come through for autumn, whether it be thanks to the A/W 21 runways or the outfits we’ve spotted on social media. Shades of green and plisse fabrics are among two of the most popular looks we are already seeing, with brands including Ganni, Mango and COS partaking in the trends. Slim-fitting knitted dresses are also quite prominent this season, which can be traced back to Jacquemus’s form-fitting collection, while elevated shirt dresses have been popular…

August 07, 2021 at 06:11AM While we love nothing more than unearthing a new microtrend or patiently waiting to see the fresh looks our favourite designers have in store for us at the start of each new season, you don’t necessarily want to build your wardrobe based on the trends that disappear as quickly as they arrived. Instead, it’s about striking the perfect balance of integrating timely pieces, such as an of-the-moment colour or print, with more everlasting staples that you’ll love and wear for years to come. This is the key to ensuring your outfits always hit the mark.So, as we gleefully talk about the trends set to define the season ahead (of which there are plenty of impressive ones), we need to do so with a measured approach by considering the classic autumn fashion items you can wear with them.We can’t stress…

August 07, 2021 at 06:01AM As far as modern-day minimalist muses go, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has firmly secured a spot on the top of the list. The model and beauty mogul regularly delivers pared-back outfit ideas to her loyal following of over 13 million fans, acquiring hundreds of thousands of likes in the process. Rosie has made a habit of posting mirror selfie photo galleries depicting her recent looks and of course, here at Who What Wear, we always take note. With a colour palette that mainly consists of black, white and beige, Rosie adheres to a relatively understated aesthetic of simple basics and classic items that can be endlessly mixed and matched. Straight leg white jeans, crisp button-down shirts and tailored trousers are just some of the wardrobe essentials she wears on repeat.Though she regularly invests in luxury brands (The Row and Bottega Veneta are currently her…

August 07, 2021 at 06:00AM Despite my very best efforts, I have fallen into a rut when it comes to getting dressed for working from home. I currently alternate between two pairs of jeans, and three jumpers, but am now itching to switch things up and find some new ways to style my denim staples. I’m not talking about anything radical here, as I’ll still be sat in my living room—but little styling tweaks that might help me fall in love with my jeans again. Below I’ve found 21 styling ideas that I plan on copying (again and again) in 2021, and many revolve around basics like breton tees, polo tops, Oxford shirts and knitted vests. Earlier this year my colleague Elinor wrote about the key new denim trends for 2021, speaking to denim experts from both 7 For All Mankind and & Other Stories. Much like…

August 07, 2021 at 06:00AM I’ve already waxed poetic about the classic clothing items you should never purge from your wardrobe (like a blazer or skinny jeans), and that story generated so many conversations that I felt it might be helpful to expand into another wardrobe staple: shoes. While shoe trends come and go, there are some styles you can let go of with little chance you’ll want to wear them again (I’m looking at you, wedge sneakers), and there are other styles you’re guaranteed to regret within months of tossing them.Now I’m not talking about shoe styles that are totally thrashed. If you’ve worn a pair of shoes out past the point of repair, then, by all means, get rid of them. But if it’s one of the styles I’m about to discuss, do yourself a favor and replace them with a new pair…

August 07, 2021 at 06:00AM There are various stylistic components that come into play to make an item of clothing look premium, and alongside dramatic silhouettes and heavyweight fabrics, I would have to say that unexpected prints are definitely a key factor. Just take Whistles’ short-sleeved shirt as an example: I spotted the piece within the brand’s ’new in’ section and was instantly drawn-in by the unusual map print, something I hadn’t seen anywhere else on the high street. It could have easily just stepped off the runway. My suspicions were confirmed when a handful of fashion-savvy women (Angela Scanlon included) posted pics of themselves wearing said shirt, and looking pretty stylish in the process. Made out of a silk-blend fabric and coming with a cool boxy fit, this is the sort of top that will instantly elevate your wardrobe basics, whether it’s black trousers or casual denim. I would tuck it into jeans and style with velcro sandals,…

August 07, 2021 at 06:00AM When it comes to cult skincare there are few brands more hyped than Augustinus Bader. Despite only launching in 2018 with just two products—the now iconic The Cream and The Rich Cream—Augustinus Bader has amassed an impressively devout following of celebrities, makeup artists and beauty editors who all swear by the glow-boosting, skin-smoothing benefits of this covetable moisturiser. From Alexa Chung and Naomi Campbell to Hailey Bieber and Priyanka Chopra, basically every A-lister has a bottle of Augustinus Bader in the skincare rotation—and if they don’t then their makeup artist will. But at £205 a pop for a bottle of moisturiser, it’s impossible to offer up a truly unbiased review of Augustinus Bader without mentioning the cost. Because, let’s be real, skincare with a 3-figure price tag just isn’t a realistic purchase for the vast majority of us. So, what makes Augustinus Bader worth…
