April 22, 2022 at 08:00AM Looking at celebrities basking in the sunshine on their recent slew of exotic holidays has reminded me of a couple of things: 1) that I need to replenish my supply of dental floss when I’m next at Tesco, and 2) that it’s good to get out of your leggings and knitwear once in a while and embrace something… skimpy. And what could be skimpier than a barely there string bikini?That’s right; stylish stars have been casting aside their Baywatch-esque high-leg cossies in favour of teeny triangle bikinis—the sort that dominated every beach, poolside and popular music video in the ‘90s. And you know what? I might join them.A few years ago, I found my swimwear comfort zone in retro, high-waist bikinis—the sort that cover my belly button and provide me with the added support across my hips that I…

April 22, 2022 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…

April 22, 2022 at 07:00AM As soon as awards ceremonies and events like the Oscars and Cannes roll around, we love swooning over the beauty looks that inevitably fill up our feeds. Then we soon make a B-line for celebrity makeup artists’ Instagrams to find out just how they make their skin glow and how celebrities like Hailey Bieber actually get their makeup looking so good. Whether it’s a perfectly applied French girl lip or a precision eyeliner wing, we need to know all of the details.So, we decided to slide into the DMs of some of the top celebrity makeup artists who shared their top celebrity makeup tips and tricks with us below.Jamie Coombes, Dior International Pro Team Makeup Artist, has worked with models like Neelam Kaur Gill to create flawless complexions. We quizzed him on his tips for disguising dark circles, as well as the perfect concealer application…

April 22, 2022 at 07:00AM Every time spring comes along, I get so tempted by all the joyful prints, colours and ruffles on offer. In an alternative world, my wardrobe would be full of them. The problem is, I’m very much a minimalist dresser at heart— and although I love bright, bold looks on other people, over the decade I’ve worked in fashion, I’ve learnt that what makes me feel most confident and myself is a pared-back capsule full of classics that all work together effortlessly. As you’d expect, then, my wardrobe is full of pieces like button down shirts, blue jeans, relaxed tailoring, simple dresses, t-shirts and knits that I layer up or down depending on the season. By their very nature everything pretty much goes together, but it doesn’t stop me feeling a little uninspired at the beginning of each season when I’m…

April 22, 2022 at 06:55AM Everyone we talk to recently has a summer agenda. Filling up diaries with every weekend getaway, city escape or exotic location further afield, we’re crowning 2022 the year of the holiday. And rightly so, seeing as we’re all making up for lost time. With this in mind, we may all be a bit rusty with knowing what to pack, agreed? So, while the Who What Wear beauty team has already guided you on which SPF to take, the fashion team is now here to help you with the other important part: Outfits. And if there’s one place that has every spring/summer essential, it’s Mytheresa.A co-ord is so versatile, you’ll end up wearing it so many times as a set or separates.Hosting some of the best new designers under one virtual roof, the site has an aptly names The Vacation…

April 22, 2022 at 06:54AM I know, I know—we’ve only had about five days of sunshine so far this spring, and that’s enough to put me in summer mode. What can I say? I’m optimistic. Whatever happens between now and June, summer is inevitable, and I would like to be prepared when the opportunity to wear something fun without the need for a trench coat or knit presents itself. And knowing that you, our dear Who What Wear readers, are sartorially savvy, I have a hunch that your minds are also gravitating towards your summer outfits. Well, we’re in good company.Just this week, it seems like every influencer I follow has also begun to hone their summer aesthetic (it’s the sun—I tell you), and in doing so, they’ve been serving up a fresh array of impressive outfits. Although I’m something of a minimalist, I’ve…

April 22, 2022 at 06:53AM One of the most frequently asked questions we get from our lovely Who What Wear readers is: “Which dress should I wear to a (insert ceremony type here) wedding?”. While there are certainly no rules when it comes to church ceremonies, registry office nuptials in the city or even a country escape or venue abroad. Of course there are some styles, and brands, we look to each season for wedding guest outfits.Karina wears Rixo’s Gio midi dress, and you can shop it below. Rixo, Reformation and Self-Portrait are always a go-to for dressy, yet wearable, dresses you can wear way beyond the wedding date. The likes of Simone Rocha and cult label Taller Marmo are reliable for the even fancier affairs. And when it comes to affordable styles, high street brands including & Other Stories, Reiss, Zara and Mango…

April 22, 2022 at 06:37AM So-called “ugly” trends have been reigning supreme for the last couple of years. Dad trainers, knitted tank tops, tie-dye prints and quilted coats are just some of the trends that may have initially raised eyebrows but are now adored by fashion types. This is also the case when it comes to spring/summer 2022’s most prolific shoes.Chunky sandals started making tracks two years ago when Teva’s double-strap sandals flooded our feeds. Chanel also brought out its own pair of chunky sandals, which, although emblazoned with the iconic double-Cs and finished in bouclé, still fell under the “ugly”-but-somehow-chic category. Last year, Dune treated us to its pair of best-selling Lockstockk sandals, just as The Row’s Ginza platform-sole flip-flops became a status symbol.I watched on, assuming chunky sandals would disappear as quickly as they came. However, as we approach another glorious summer, they’re still at…

April 22, 2022 at 06:30AM One thing you should know about beauty editors is that, somewhat surprisingly, we don’t tend to shout about the golden oldie products that we use day in, day out. You see, some products are just so good that they become totally ingrained in our routines. When we’re asked for recommendations, our brains go into overdrive and, all too often, our failsafe classics get forgotten about. One product in particular that always springs to mind whenever I consider this odd beauty-editor phenomenon is Dior Addict Lip Glow.The truth is, I can’t think of a single beauty editor pal that doesn’t rely on the cult tinted lip balm as a handbag staple. Lip trends come and go, but Dior Addict Lip Glow is forever. Because while pigmented matte lipstick looks great and plumping glosses deliver the ultimate clean-girl look, it’s impossible to deny…

April 22, 2022 at 06:10AM I am a spring/summer girl through-and-through. It’s that magical time when we get to rip off the restrictive opaque tights that have been glued to our legs for the last 6 months and finally get to wear our favourite lightweight dresses that have been collecting dust in our wardrobe through what felt like a never-ending winter. Most dresses will work with a pair of tights but its always my favourites (usually lighter boho dresses or more vibrant pieces) that just don’t sit well.From BBQs to weddings there always seems to be buzz and excitement for the months ahead and, of course, more than enough reasons to showcase some of the hottest new-in dresses around. Both myself and Hannah Almassi, Who What Wear UK’s Editor-In-Chief are dress fanatics, and the arrival of spring is all that’s needed for us to start exploring which key styles we’d…
