July 27, 2021 at 08:00AM When it comes to our body, time takes its toll on just about all of it. And although we know all too well what ageing does to our skin, when it comes to other areas of our beauty regimens, age is rarely factored in. From swapping in serums that tackle fine lines and wrinkles to acid treatments that work against age spots and pigmentation, products that cater to ageing skin seem to be everywhere. But what about our hair?It turns out that besides going grey, ageing can affect our hair in a number of ways. From thinning to dryness, the ways in which our hair deals with getting older means that as time goes by, we may need to change up our routine. And one of the most effective ways we can do that is by trying out…

July 27, 2021 at 08:00AM With the temperature gauge almost reaching 30°, we have finally found an excuse to unleash our summer dress collection. Whether you’re a clean-lined minimalist, a floral fanatic, a lover of boho ruffles or someone who craves a simple T-shirt dress, it’s fair to say that there’s plenty to choose from this season. Personally, I’ve been a big fan of the loose, smock-like styles that have proliferated over the last 12 months, as they both keep you cool and look the part with Birkenstocks or strappy heels.That being said, I have also appreciated the transformation of the mini this year, which has been offered up in unexpected fabrics and silhouettes. Think wrap styles in premium linen, pops of fuchsia and frill-neck collars. You also can’t scroll through the new-in sections without noting that cut-outs are a key theme for 2021, and they can be found on both ends of the…

July 27, 2021 at 06:23AM Whether skinny jeans are currently the “trendiest” style on the market or not, we still can’t get seem to enough of them. Yes, yes, we’re totally down with the cooler fashion-girl favourites that are continuously emerging and the new jeans trends dominating the runway, too, but there’s no denying that it’ll be hard to completely break up with the slim-fit denim that’s paired so perfectly with everything in our wardrobes for so many years. After all, they’re the very jean style that gave us the jeans and a nice top outfit combination we so often rely on; it’d be rude not to give the skinny jean the credit and consideration it deserves. But let’s face it: The style does come with its fair share of problems. It can take years to find the ultimate pair that’s not too tight in the knees, doesn’t sag…

July 27, 2021 at 06:09AM Angelina Jolie’s outfits always catch our attention, but especially when she’s in Paris (because who doesn’t love to see what people wear in Paris?). Jolie was recently in the City of Light with her kids wearing a characteristically chic outfit. She wore her signature neutral color palette, opting for a white T-shirt, tan accessories, and the subject of this story: full-length wide-leg khaki pants. If trouser muses were a thing (and perhaps they are), Angelina Jolie would be at the top of the list. You may recall that Jolie recently wore wide-leg jeans to the airport and the look basically went viral. Wide-leg full-length pants are a staple of hers, and they’ve pretty much taken the place of cropped skinny trousers for the time being—just see Jennifer Lawrence, Kendall Jenner and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for confirmation. Scroll on to see how she expertly styled them…

July 27, 2021 at 06:07AM This summer has been about rediscovering the little joys—simple pleasures which we were denied last year. Dining out, catching up with friends with a glass in hand, arranging get-togethers with your nearest and dearest, and, of course, planning your outfits for such outings. And now, as our social calendars begin to come alive once more, we’re relishing in the latter; the pulling together of trousers and tops and choosing the perfect pair of sandals to wear with your favourite dress. It’s been blissful. Yet, while we’ve indeed fallen back in love with getting dressed, we could always use a healthy dose of style inspiration to help carry us through busy months of reuniting, celebrating, and travelling locally that lay ahead. That’s where Free People comes in. Of course, if you’re a regular Who What Wear UK reader, then you’ll already be familiar with Free…

July 27, 2021 at 06:15AM Discovering your signature scent can be a long and arduous path, but its one which all beauty aficionados know is worth traversing. Fragrance has the power to unlock memories and define moments, so it certainly pays to find one that you love to wear. Still, the process can be off-putting to say the least.Seldom can you truly understand how a perfume is going to smell on your skin without having worn it for a prolonged period of time. This is why I always advise getting your hands on a tester if at all possible—they’ll allow you to try it at your leisure and in your everyday life, as opposed to that of a quick spritz on your arm in a store. However, I acknowledge that obtaining these testers isn’t always easy; especially if you don’t live near a stockist which…

July 27, 2021 at 06:04AM Wedding ceremonies have been on hold for the last 18 months, so if you’re anything like us, invitations will be stacking up for the second half of 2021. And of course, being fashion editors, we can’t help but plan our outfits way ahead of time. Thankfully, there’s plenty to choose from this season, whether you’re in the market for a slick suit or flowing floral maxi.There are various factors to consider when choosing an outfit for an important event: the venue, the dress code, the weather and even how long the ceremony lasts. Then there’s the sheer number of dress options to choose from (not to mention the tailored and jumpsuit alternatives—but that’s a whole other article). From lace and chiffon to silk and organza, we really are spoilt for choice. More than anything else, we’re just excited about getting dressed up again, putting on heels (never thought we’d hear…

July 27, 2021 at 06:04AM Autumn outfits can require quite a bit of planning. Coat or no coat? How many layers are too many layers? The below outfit ideas will see you through cooler days (which will probably be here before we know it) and right into the time when it turns really cold. Thankfully, online retailers are preempting our shopping whims and are already starting to slowly fill their new-in sections with knitwear and trench coats. So although it might seem early, this is actually the perfect moment to take a pause and really think about what is missing from your autumn wardrobe before you start adding to it.The below outfits include several classics that you’d typically expect from an autumn capsule, including trench coats, leather jackets and jeans, alongside some new additions which feel really relevant for the upcoming season. Think chunky track-sole boots worn with slip skirts,…

July 27, 2021 at 06:00AM Fashion has always been a fast-moving industry, with it’s bi-annual rotation of trends that changes with the season. The birth of the internet, and subsequent arrival of social media, has sent this process into overdrive, with some trends coming and going within the space of a month, if not less. Honestly, it would leave anyone feeling out of breath with the effort of keeping up with it all.There’s nothing inherently wrong with embracing the flavour of the moment, especially if you’re just experimenting with pieces that are already in your wardrobe, however there is a risk that we end up buying things we quickly fall out of love with, or we miss out on fashion gems because they are declared to be ‘out’. After a discussion with my fellow editors, we could think of a long list of pieces that we love, and were once ubiquitous, but were swept away by the…

July 27, 2021 at 06:00AM Despite being totally obsessed with perfume and owning a frankly obscene number of bottles, there’s no doubt that my favourite perfumes tend to be united by a few key notes: musk, vanilla and patchouli. Not always together, you understand, but its these warm and cosy aromas that appeal to my senses time and time again. Whether it’s Byredo Velvet Haze, Maison Margiela Replica Whispers In the Library or Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka Cologne, warming, woodsy perfumes have undoubtedly become my signature scents.So, when summer rolls around and the new perfume launches become lighter, fresher and undeniably citrus, I tend to give them a quick sniff and pass them onto a home where they will be much more loved than mine. Why? Well, over the years I tend to have cultivated a belief that zesty lemon and juicy orange aromas just aren’t very…
