From VB to Meghan, These Are the Perfumes Your Favourite Celebs Actually Wear

April 14, 2022 at 06:00AM Choosing a signature scent isn’t easy—trust me. I’ve spent years trialling hundreds of perfumes in a quest to find The One. From affordable spritzes to blow-the-budget blends, no perfume that I sprayed quite cut the mustard. Why? Because for years I was absolutely convinced that I didn’t want to smell like anyone else out there. I was adamant that I would never become the person who stopped someone on the street and asked what their perfume was because unless I’d discovered it for myself, I didn’t want it.However, many years (and a whole lot of beauty expertise) later, as I walked to meet a friend, a waft so fierce and feminine kissed my nose that my senses ran away from me, and I more or less chased a lady through a train station to ask her what perfume…

These Are the 2022 Trends I’m Trying Second-Hand

April 14, 2022 at 06:00AM It’s that time of year again: Summer is just around the corner, and we're gazing into our fashion crystal ball to see what the warm-weather months ahead has in store for us. (If you haven’t seen our S/S 22 report yet, check it out it here.) As always, I’m here to bring you a vintage-alternative shopping guide to the season’s hottest looks, particularly the styles that lend themselves to the second-hand format. Essentially, I’ve done all the hard work for you—you’re very welcome. For S/S 22, I was totally spoilt for choice in the vintage department. It always helps that so many of the season’s key looks have strong throwback references. We’re talking dramatic oversized blazers (top tip: check the men’s department), ankle-grazing hemlines, Y2K styling and a good dose of designer logos. I mean, why buy a new version of a trend when you can have the one-of-a-kind…

9 Le Labo Scents That Are Low-Key Better Than Santal 33 (There, I Said It)

April 14, 2022 at 06:00AM Look, I’ll be the first to admit that Le Labo’s iconic Santal 33 scent smells really good. In addition to owning a bottle myself, the fragrance has become so wildly popular over the years that it’s basically a calling card for in-the-know Millennials. Basically, if you know, you know. But the Brooklyn-based perfume brand has so much more to offer in the way of its oil-based unisex scents beyond just its best-seller—and I’m here to walk you through where to even begin.It’s easy to see why the brand has become so popular; each of the fragrances are layered with an intoxicating medley of notes and since they’re oil-based, one spritz can last you all day. I know they can be pricey, but in my opinion, the cost-per-wear makes it well worth the spend. For my own fragrance mission (and yours too), I asked Le Labo to send me samples…

I’m Picky, But This Affordable Dress Brand Is My Favourite for Summer

April 14, 2022 at 06:00AM There’s nothing quite like an easy, pretty dress to make you feel amazing, is there? It’s one of the best things about spring in my opinion. You don’t have to go through any of the does-this-go/does-that-go morning outfit stress. It’s just throw-on and out the door, leaving much more time for joyful things like a pre-work walk around the park or a detour for a coffee and croissant. If you’re a dedicated reader of Who What Wear UK, you’ll know we’ve been long time advocates for this kind of effortless dress, and over the years we’ve curated a kind of little black book of dress brands— from designer to high street, well-known and under-the-radar— that we turn to every spring.  Hannah wears the best-selling Esme Cut Out Midi Dress.One of those brands we’re finding ourselves particularly impressed with this season is at the…
