March 15, 2022 at 06:21AM Avalon Afriyie wearing one of her favourite spring midi dresses.I’m a firm believer that midi dresses can be worn year-round and styled in myriad ways, whether that’s with a polo-neck and knee-high boots, an oversized jumper or wrap styles worn untied like a flowy bohemian-style cardi. However, come spring, when our choices are less about retaining heat under bundled layers and more about fanciful styling, the midi dress really comes into its own. I’m already envisaging flocking through tufts of overgrown grass and picnicking with friends at the mere thought of wearing a dress without tights.The efficiency of the spring midi dress is one of its many appeals. In one step, you’re dressed head to toe, with only accessories and outerwear to mull over. They’re just the right length to make you feel warm enough on blustery days yet light…

March 15, 2022 at 06:08AM We all want to look like our most polished selves, don’t we? And although, sadly, I’m not here to provide you with a week at a spa and an endless allowance at The Row, I am here to bring you a treasure trove of the most expensive-looking pieces on the high street every week. It’s my mission to prove that you can find premium pieces to elevate your wardrobe without the designer price tag and to make it easy for you to pinpoint the items on the high street that are really worth adding to your wardrobe. There are some amazing gems out there that your friends won’t believe aren’t designer, but there’s a lot to sift through to find them. That’s where I come in. As a Who What Wear editor, I scroll new-in collections as a hobby, and I…

March 15, 2022 at 06:14AM People often get a little bit confused when I harp on about my thin hair. “Your hair isn’t even that thin,” they say. However, it’s important to note that just because somebody has a lot of hair doesn’t mean it’s thick. My hair is long, sure, but when my lengths are overdue for a cut, they look scraggly, and my lack of actual strands becomes all too apparent. However, that’s not to say that my hair isn’t consistently thin all over. At the nape of my neck, I’d say I have an average amount of hair, but as you move your attention toward the crown of my head, you could probably count the individual hairs sprouting out of my scalp. Over the years, I’ve become somewhat self-conscious of the bald(ish) patch where my thin hair parts at the crown of…

March 15, 2022 at 06:03AM We’re likely all asking ourselves the same question at the moment: What can I wear that is as comfy as loungewear but looks like I’ve put a lot more effort in? And there’s no better or easier shortcut to reaching that goal than a great dress. “But it’s winter!” we hear you shout. Yes, it still is—but most of the 23 dresses in our list below are cold-weather ready, or at least can be with the simple addition of a roll-neck, a pair of chunky boots and maybe some opaques while there’s still a chill in the air. Then, come spring, you can toss these layers aside dramatically (or store them away neatly) at the first sight of sunshine. It’s a win-win. Plus, most dresses are inherently comfy, and we’ve made sure the below styles definitely are. So really, why the heck not chuck on one of…

March 15, 2022 at 06:00AM If you’ve ever seen that Friends episode where Ross gets stuck in his leather trousers (let’s be real, who hasn’t), or you lived through the 2010s leather leggings and platforms era, you’d be forgiven for being a little wary of this trouser trend. Fear not, though, I’m here to confirm that those days are long gone and the leather trousers on the market now are nothing but a sure-fire way to look chic. Real or faux, leather trousers have become a modern classic, and a key player in any expensive-looking capsule. Probably because they’re just as easy to wear as jeans but feel more polished for things like date nights, dinners and even office days. They’re undeniably versatile and a year-round staple. Okay, maybe you wouldn’t choose them on the hottest day in August, but they’re perfect for spring when all you need to wear with…

March 15, 2022 at 06:00AM When it comes to shopping edits, I always feel like less is more (which is why I stick to 9 items in my weekly new-in update). It can be all too easy to feel overwhelmed by the hundreds of items on offer online, whether it’s designer, high-street or even vintage retailers. So, this week, I decided to give you a top-line summary of the 5—yes just 5—items H&M has really nailed this week. I tried to focus on pieces that have a certain premium finish or silhouette, or spring staples that you’ll wear on repeat this season.At the top of my wishlist is H&M’s cut-out top which, for me, feels like a great entry point to the trend. It’s exactly the sort of top I’d want to wear for a dinner with side-leg black trousers and gold hoops. I also have to…

March 15, 2022 at 06:00AM Fashion month has understandably been very subdued over the past two years. However, this season, more designers showed their collections in person. More events meant more guests and in turn more street style images for us to pore over. It is still such a treat to see people having fun with their clothes again, experimenting with innovative styling moves and dressing up. What buyers, editors and industry insiders wear outside the shows now has almost as much impact on how people dress as the runways do. Instead of a preview of what will be coming in six months’ time, these are styling ideas that can be copied and items that can be purchased right now.Every season, we create this Shop the Street story, which is a wish list inspired by the items we see over fashion month. We’ve…
