March 27, 2022 at 06:02AM There are certain things that universally signify spring—flowers popping up in the parks, getting ready to order your first Pimm’s, and the fact that it’s lighter in the evenings. However, to us fashion types, nothing feels quite so spring-like as stepping out in a gorgeous dress (without the need for tights). And right now, while we’re still firmly in winter, we’re noticing specific dress trends emerge as new-season offerings start to drop in. Below, I’ve listed the eight dress trends that I think you’ll see for spring through to summer in 2022. Long-sleeve, denim and knitted dresses are perfect for the next few months of daily walks, while the bright-pink dresses and fun minis I’ve found below have rescheduled weddings written all over them.I’ve been sure to include a mix of classic, basic styles and more fashion-forward silhouettes and bolder options for those who want to just have…

March 27, 2022 at 08:00AM I rarely venture out of Manhattan, but this weekend, I took a trip with some friends upstate to do some apple picking and sale shopping (the perfect fall day). When we arrived at the mall, my heart soared as I saw so many people wearing and shopping the trends that I had predicted just one or two years ago. Since I tend to keep to quieter parts of New York City, I rarely come across such a large crowd, and my analytical fashion brain was doing its scanning. I felt reminded of the power of trend-spotting—it’s fun to watch something come down the runway and subsequently catch a glimpse of fashion insiders wearing it, and then finally being submerged in crowds dressed up in seemingly Jacquemus-inspired knits and Celine-level tailoring.My little weekend trip inspired me to come home to my fashion editor crystal ball and see…

March 27, 2022 at 08:00AM It’s no secret that French women possess a knack for a polished style that reads as effortless and cool. Over the years, they prove to really refine their personal senses of style with wardrobes stocked with incredible closet essentials. French women are truly in the know about which building blocks will last for years ahead, so it’s no surprise you’ll spot many of them wearing the same staples.Yep, you’ll be sure to spot elegant tweed pieces on both Carla Bruni and Isabel Marant. The same goes for ankle boots, which you’ll see Nadege du Bosterus and Juliette Binoche styling with their looks. And it doesn’t stop there. Ahead, take inspiration from stylish over-50 French women and see the six pieces you’ll spot in all of their closets. You can also shop the items for yourself to replicate their chic looks.No matter…

March 27, 2022 at 08:00AM If there’s one thing we know, it’s that Who What Wear readers are obsessed with two things: dresses and shoes. These two subjects always dominate our So Should I Buy This? Facebook group, and now that we find ourselves on the cusp of bare-leg season, they’re proving to be all the more practical.While we’re quick to cover the latest trends across both wardrobe items, we thought we’d go back to basics and have a look at the shoes we should be wearing with dresses this summer. As such, we can conclude that there are seven key footwear styles that seem to suit dresses more than other shoe types.Chances are you’ll already own some (if not all) of the shoes on our list, but that’s the beauty of taking a step back from the noise of the trends and, instead,…

March 27, 2022 at 08:00AM Ah, H&M—where to begin? Prior to working in fashion, I didn’t regularly shop H&M. However, in the 11 years since I started analysing its wares more closely, I’ve become more and more impressed by the pieces H&M creates. Sure, sometimes it’s a little young for me—I steer clear from much of the Divided section for this exact reason—but the rest of H&M remains the affordable high-street hot spot where I find some of my favourite pieces, from premium-looking knitwear to elevated midi dresses. It’s the place I go when I need an easy fashion fix on a budget. This is why I like to particularly pay close attention to H&M when each new season rolls around. Although temperatures still may be on the chilly side, it certainly looks like spring is here. So naturally, all I can think…

March 27, 2022 at 08:00AM The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in rainy Wolverhampton today for a series of engagements and proved, yet again, that denim is not the only way to pull together an easy, chic outfit. Wearing a look that was very reminiscent of a navy ensemble she chose on a royal tour last year (more on those looks below) she assembled a fitted coat over a polka-dot, contrast-collar blouse and with a trouser style that is fast becoming her signature: tailored flares.On Kate Middleton: Tory Burch Silk Satin Polka Dot Blouse; Jigsaw trousers. In a couple of styling moves that are now recognisably very HRH, Kate chose to go tonal (a move that makes any outfit simpler), to add in some classic pearl earrings and to ensure that her wide-leg trousers were (probably) tailored just so, in order to sit neatly above her…

March 27, 2022 at 08:00AM Despite how much we admire celebrity airport style, it’s not always so easy to figure out what you should wear on a plane when push comes to shove, especially now that many of us have put our travel plans on pause for a while. Stilettos and high-waisted leather pants look great in paparazzi shots of stars strutting through airport terminals, yet in action, these statement-making ensembles can prove a bit trickier. And though we’d all love to look our best when hitting the skies, certain wardrobe pieces are best left in a checked bag or carry-on. Who better to inform us of what to never wear on a plane than someone who works at 35,000 feet? We reached out to American Airlines flight attendant Andrea Fischbach to spill her list of things you shouldn’t wear when flying for the sake…

March 27, 2022 at 08:00AM If I could live in any decade, it would hands down be the ‘70s—not because I find anything about the way of life particularly endearing, but rather I’m absolutely head over heels for the aesthetic. From flared jeans to supersized sunglasses, when it comes to '70s fashion, I’m all in.However, as a beauty editor, I feel somewhat inclined to say that the single best thing about the '70s was the hair. I’m so obsessed with '70s hairstyles, in fact, that I have rocked the same '70s-style, long, middle-parted mop for well over 10 years. But it’s not just super-long hair that really defined the decade. Everything from shaggy lengths and fringes to blunt bobs and picked-out afros have remained some of the most timeless hairstyles around. And next year, it’s looking as though '70s hair is going to be everywhere.Don’t believe me? Keep scrolling for 20 '70s-inspired hairstyles that will…

March 27, 2022 at 08:00AM Hands up who owns a midi dress? The likelihood of everyone owning one is pretty high considering they are one of the most reliable (note: never boring) items around. In fact, they deserve a place in any capsule wardrobe as much as any trench coat, good-quality white T-shirt or blazer does. Sure, there are tonnes of new spring dress trends out there, but when the midi works across all seasons for any occasion and is universally flattering, it’s no surprise we choose this style again and again. While we’ve been pairing said dress with knee-high Western boots and any form of ankle boots, from heeled to stomper, for the cooler months, it’s time to think about what to wear them with for spring. Enter flat shoes. Be brave. Ankles are about to be bared, and we are so ready for the freedom…
