6 Items Our Editors Would Never Buy From Zara

August 06, 2021 at 06:08AM Hold up—there are actually items Who What Wear UK editors won’t buy from Zara? I know—we can barely believe it ourselves, but it’s true. Just like everyone else, we have pieces we find ourselves gravitating towards and others we avoid at all costs. And today, we’re here to share exactly what we prefer not to buy from the fast-fashion retailer. Admittedly, while the “don’t-buy” lists are significantly shorter than the “must-buy” lists, the reasoning behind each editor’s answer is worth hearing out, especially if you’re on the fence about purchasing one of the items for yourself.Now, we aren’t saying you shouldn’t be shopping for these at Zara. (Heck, some of the items our editors would rather not buy might be your favourite Zara section, and that’s okay—we all have our preferences and opinions.) Truly, in this situation, there’s no right or…

20 Cool Hairstyles That Are Perfect for Summer

August 06, 2021 at 06:00AM Honestly, I’m not really sure whether summer is officially here or not. In London, we seem to have settled on a climate that’s not too dissimilar to what I imagine living in a tropical rainforest would be. It swings between bright sunshine and intense downpours, and is certainly not conducive to good hair days (for me, at least). Nevertheless, there’s plenty of amazing summer hair inspiration to be found right now, so think of this as a wish list for not only your hair but also for the glorious summer that might still be to come.From low ponytails decorated with the prettiest hair accessories to artfully dishevelled buns for major cool-girl vibes, summer’s hottest hairstyles are all about having fun. Unlike the more elegant wedding guest hairstyles that are trending right now, summer styles are effortless, fuss-free and look…

22 Outfit Ideas I Have Really Loved This Week

August 06, 2021 at 06:00AM There’s nothing quite like the inexplicable satisfaction of a really good outfit. Sometimes it can be hard to put your finger on what it is exactly that makes something work: It could be a clever colour combination, an unexpected silhouette, or even a subtle trim on a pair of trousers. As a fashion editor, it is my job to keep an eye out for these winning ensembles. It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. We even have a channel on Slack that is literally dedicated to great outfits, and boy, are there plenty to choose from. This story is essentially a line-up of all the fabulous outfits that have been given the Slack-channel seal of approval. I find that the looks that stand out to me are often relatively simple in composition but pack a punch via colour, print or fabric. Tonal dressing is the perfect example…

In Memoriam: Guru Jagat, A Wildly Modern Wellness Leader Who Empowered OthersAugust 05, 2021 at 11:19PM The truth is, it’s our first story of this kind on TCM. Appropriate, as kundalini teacher, Guru Jagat was the first of her kind as well.

Grilled Halloumi with Sumac-Dusted Stone Fruit Salad

Grilled Halloumi with Sumac-Dusted Stone Fruit SaladAugust 05, 2021 at 11:00AM We’re looking for any excuse to eat more peaches, nectarines and plums this season and we’ve found just the recipe that’ll let us binge on stone fruits in the best way possible. Seasonally inspired FIG Restaurant in Santa Monica - known for its impeccable cocktails and in-the-know locals’ happy hour - has mixed up its menu with a new Mediterranean vibe we can’t get enough of. At a recent dinner to try out their new wood-oven-centric eats, we were so focused on this sumac spice-dusted stone fruit salad we barely left room for dessert (the horror!). This simple dish is all about sumac - a fiery yet sweet-smelling spice made from dried berries (which give sumac its rich red color). Its sour, citrus-like taste makes sumac a flavor staple in Mediterranean recipes, and enhances the sweetness of stone fruits like…

Let These Celebrity Outfits Remind You That Red Carpet Fashion Is Back and Better Than Ever

August 05, 2021 at 09:30PM If you ever needed a sign that red carpet fashion is back and better than ever, here’s the post. Over the past week, we’ve seen so many celebrities serve up high-fashion ensembles that make us want to find a gown and throw it on. One such A-lister who has actually been giving us one fashionable look after the next over the past few days is the one and only Lady Gaga. One second she was looking chic in a pinstripe suit and the next she was wearing a Valentino cape dress that came with a feathered headpiece and wild sunglasses. (What can’t she wear, am I right?) Blake Lively also made her first red carpet appearance in a long time wearing a sexy cutout Prabal Gurung gown to support her husband Ryan Reynolyd’s new movie Free Guy. Storm…
