The Two Skirts Trends That Have Divided Our Fashion Team

March 20, 2022 at 06:00AM It’s fair to say that 2022 is turning into a real celebration of the humble skirt. You’ve got micro minis, maxis, circle skirts, column silhouettes and asymmetrical hemlines—you name it. Every style has its own particular fanbase and an accompanying list of designers who championed the trend in their SS22 collections, but there were two styles that felt particularly fresh for the new season. They also just happen to split the opinions of the Who What Wear fashion team. In the red corner we have the column skirt: long, lean and often low-slung, it’s the sort of thing you’d see Gwyneth Paltrow wear in ‘90s romcoms. Meanwhile, in the blue corner is the circle skirt: A more full-bodied, flowing look typically associated with 1950s fashion, but this season rendered in unexpected fabrics such as leather and tulle.  “I always think I want to be…

Victoria Beckham Just Paid Homage to Britney Spears in This “Risky” Outfit

March 19, 2022 at 08:00AM For the longest time, Victoria Beckham subscribed to her Posh aesthetic—think lots of black (or at the very least, muted) outfits and a whole host of tailoring. Of course, these pieces still populate her wardrobe, but we have noticed that VB has been gradually introducing more colour into her outfits over the last couple of years. It might have started subtly, but now, even with public appearances becoming rare, when we do see her step out, she’s often sporting clashing, block colours in ways we wouldn’t have been able to predict a decade ago. And her latest look is a testament to just how experimental her style has become. This week, for Saint Laurent’s A/W 22 runway show during Paris Fashion Week, it wasn’t David that VB had on her arm. Instead, she was accompanied by her son Romeo in what…

I’ve Had Dark Circles All My Life, and These Are the Only Products That Work

March 19, 2022 at 08:00AM The topic of dark circles within the beauty industry is one that has frustrated me for as long as I can remember. You see, I came into this world sporting an impressive pair of purple rings underneath my eyes. I have spent most of my life batting off concerns from people that I look tired, drained and unwell. Honestly, I’m fine. It’s just my dark circles.For many, dark circles don’t come about because of lifestyle choices. Sure, things like dehydration, lack of sleep and a poor skincare routine can worsen the situation, but for people like me, dark circles are permanent fixtures. Elizabeth Hawkes, consultant ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeon at the Cadogan Clinic, explains, “The term ‘dark circles’ is used to describe increased pigmentation of the under-eye and is a very common concern. The skin around the eye is unique. There…

7 Anti-Trend Outfits I’m Seeing Everyone Wear Right Now

March 19, 2022 at 08:00AM Lately, I’ve noticed an uptick in the number of classic outfits landing on the fashion set. I attribute it to the impact the lockdowns have had on our wardrobes—fewer occasions to wear trendy items and a larger focus on buying great staples and investment pieces. But that isn’t to say that trendy fashion is fading away. Micro miniskirts, oversized leather jackets, Y2K style, high-impact colours and a fresh crop of micro-trends are in full force for spring.No matter where you land on the trend-adoption spectrum, though, it’s always a great idea to have an array of timeless looks on standby. With a small collection of wardrobe capsule pieces, you can create a number of polished, easy looks that work season after season. It all comes down to some simple styling ideas. Ahead, see the best classic outfits to wear now.These closet staples are the…

The Best Spring Dresses I’ve Spotted So Far This Year

March 19, 2022 at 08:00AM One of the things I always love the most about this season is abandoning the many layers (so long, puffer coat!) and revisiting my dress wardrobe. New-in sections are helping me indulge in my dress daydreaming, as every day is bringing with it new summery items to scroll through.Floral tea dresses and check midi dresses are hardly groundbreaking, but these throw-on styles always sell out at record speed. For the past few years, we have all gravitated towards dresses with plenty of chuck-on appeal. However, with offices reopened and events back in the diary, there are also lots of more playful options for 2022. Think lime-green silk, very pretty pleated midi dresses and wedding-ready florals. There are 28 dresses, in particular, that I think will be a welcome addition to any wardrobe this spring. Keep scrolling to see my edit of the best dresses I’ve…

People Don’t Believe My Mom Is 71—Here Are 8 Anti-Ageing Serums She Uses

March 19, 2022 at 08:00AM Six years ago, my family experienced a huge scare when my then 65-year-old mom was rushed to the ER in order to receive an emergency cardioversion—aka a medical paddle used to restart her heart. The day before the trip to the emergency room, we’d been travelling, and my mom (who has since discovered she has an extreme sensitivity to sugar) had a pumpkin spice latte and an almond-filled French pastry for breakfast and then later on after dinner a small vanilla ice cream cone. As she explains, it was enough sugar (at least for her) to send her heart into atrial fibrillation, or an uneven heart rhythm.“As scary as the experience was, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise,” she tells me. “I banished heavy sugar doses from my diet and noticed that my skin started…
