February 28, 2022 at 06:37AM It’s hard to remember a time when straight-leg jeans didn’t live in our wardrobes, but, alas, it did exist. Before their popularity spike, skinny and boyfriend jeans were the dominating styles, with few options in between. Bridging the gap, straight-leg jeans boast the streamlined silhouette skinny-jean devotees love while featuring a relaxed cut reminiscent of the looser boyfriend fit. This combination is precisely why fashion people love them—they’re not too tailored, nor are they too undone; they strike the perfect jean balance.Although they’re easy to wear, coming up with new and exciting jeans outfits can be a struggle, especially if you’ve been living in little else but hoodies of late. In the nick of time, however, just as spring begins to catch up with us, a slew of our favourite social media dressers have been showcasing new and…

February 28, 2022 at 06:35AM Hold up—there are actually items Who What Wear UK editors won’t buy from Zara? I know—we can barely believe it ourselves, but it’s true. Just like everyone else, we have pieces we find ourselves gravitating towards and others we avoid at all costs. And today, we’re here to share exactly what we prefer not to buy from the fast-fashion retailer. Admittedly, while the “don’t-buy” lists are significantly shorter than the “must-buy” lists, the reasoning behind each editor’s answer is worth hearing out, especially if you’re on the fence about purchasing one of the items for yourself.Now, we aren’t saying you shouldn’t be shopping for these at Zara. (Heck, some of the items our editors would rather not buy might be your favourite Zara section, and that’s okay—we all have our preferences and opinions.) Truly, in this situation, there’s no right or…

February 28, 2022 at 06:30AM With spring on its way, there has been a noticeable shift in the types of manicures that I’ve spotted on Instagram lately. Gone are the neutral colours and basic shades that all the chicest women were stepping out in earlier this year and in their place, a riot of cute nail art and pastel hues. As someone that always has a saved folder that’s bursting with nail designs, I have to say that I’m thrilled with this shift to embrace colour and pattern for the season ahead. That being said, I’m well aware that checkerboard nails and rainbow manis aren’t for everyone, which is why I’m so excited about this emerging nail trend which I think even nail art cynics will adore: the colourful French-tip manicure.Embracing all of the fundamentals of the timeless French mani (glossy finishes, perfectly groomed nail beds and a neutral base), this modern twist sees those classic white tips given a…

February 28, 2022 at 06:30AM When it comes to hair trends, glossy, blunt cuts have most definitely reigned supreme as of late. For the last few years, we have found ourselves swooning over glossy, glass-like lengths and adding all of the blunt-bob inspiration to our saved folders on Instagram. There’s no doubt that blunt cuts have had their fair share of love. But now, there’s a new hair trend on the horizon.With the time between our hair appointments becoming longer, high-maintenance blunt chops are on the out, and no-fuss, layered hair is back (see the recent success of the shag and the long shag). Not only do layers give hair an undone, effortless vibe, but they also help to disguise breakage and split ends (things that have become inevitable). While we don’t have long to wait until salon doors reopen, we think it’s still important to consider the…

February 28, 2022 at 06:30AM As a beauty editor, I deem it my job to ensure that people are spending their money on beauty wisely. That’s why, when anyone, stranger or friend, asks me for advice on a particular product, I am more than happy to oblige. The most common question I get asked is, without a doubt, “Is [insert product here] really work the money?” And more of than not, the answer to that question, is no.However, there is one product that finds itself at the centre of such questioning that will always and forever get a resounding yes from me—and that’s Tan-Luxe Super Glow Hyaluronic Self-Tan Serum.Shannon before using Tan-Luxe Super Glow Hyaluronic Self-Tan Serum. If you’re asking me, there are few beauty products that can transform your mood quite like a natural-looking, glow-boosting fake tan. The best formulas aren’t the ones that…

February 28, 2022 at 06:00AM When it comes to blow-drying my hair I am notoriously lazy. In fact, despite working as a beauty editor, I am decidedly nonchalant about all things hair—from washing it to styling it—which means that while I can whizz off a list of dry shampoo recommendations as long as my arm, new hair launches and trending hair tools are often left gathering dust at the bottom of my ‘to test’ box. So while I was well aware of the hype surrounding Color Wow’s Dream Coat Natural Spray (£26), it was another in a long line of buzzy hair products that had a home in my beauty stash, but never saw the light of day. Until this year, that is. Honestly, I don’t know what made me reach for it. Perhaps this winter’s never-ending dreary weather had me seeking out shine in alternative places? But whatever…

February 28, 2022 at 04:44AM Amidst an award show and red carpet season that has largely been postponed, canceled, or virtual, we couldn’t be more excited to get back into the *somewhat* traditional swing of things with this year’s 2022 SAG Awards. And yes, just the sheer anticipation of the forthcoming (exceptionally drool-inducing) beauty and fashion moments have us chomping at the bit. Unlike most award shows, the SAG Awards doesn’t have designated hosts (a tradition that will continue this year), but fear not, in addition to the glitz and glamour, there are definitely a few highlights and surprises in store. For instance, the show’s opening will feature “Hamilton” stars Lin-Manuel Miranda, Daveed Diggs, and Leslie Odom Jr. and five-time SAG Award winner Helen Mirren will be presented the SAG Life Achievement Award by Kate Winslet.Personally, I’ll be enjoying tonight’s show by indulging in the most…
