February 26, 2022 at 06:16AM Generally, I don’t subscribe to fashion “rules”—I’m more of a “if you like it, then wear it” sort of fashion editor— but there is one I stand by: Never wear white to a wedding. I’ve been to so many weddings in my time, I’m being a wedding guest could pass for my side hustle. And you’d be surprised at how many people commit this faux pas. Sure, you can always clear it with the bride first—I know, from firsthand experience, that some aren’t phased with guests wearing white—but that doesn’t mean everyone else in attendance knows you’ve been granted permission. With the inevitable side-eye you can receive from less-liberal guests, wearing white to a wedding is something I suggest you avoid. Victoria Beckham stands for a photograph with Anders Christian Madsen and Christine Centenera before setting off for the wedding of Edward…

February 26, 2022 at 06:09AM As an editor, it’s my job to be impartial about the fashion I showcase to you. Not everything is necessarily something I would personally wear—I’ve been trained to look beyond that; to instead seek out impressive finds that’ll work for different people and styles. This is perhaps the biggest difference between editors and influencers—a question I’m commonly asked—in that influencers present pieces that are a true representation of themselves. In turn, this makes them so fascinating to follow; find an influencer whose style you love and speaks to your own, and you’ve struck sartorial gold. They become something of your own personal shopper and make it incredibly easy to build upon your existing wardrobe by spotlighting options you’re probably going to like. And for that, we owe them a depth of gratitude.As such, I’m always keen to learn…

February 26, 2022 at 06:09AM Is anyone else SO excited for spring? As the evenings get slightly lighter and the idea of as fresco brunch without a coat creeps closer, I can’t help but count down the days until the clocks go forward. And something else I can’t stop thinking about is new additions to my spring wardrobe. You know, a fresh blazer that’ll elevate any pair of straight-leg jeans, a dress that makes you want to book a holiday and new sandals to start the phasing out of socks and boots. Although I have many wish lists as long as my arm on multiple site, the three brands that have actually made me transfer items to my basket are Cos, & Other Stories and Mango.Heroes on the high street, this trio never fails to impress me. Cos is of course stocked full…

February 26, 2022 at 06:05AM I’m a huge fan of ‘70s fashion—the era created a host of trends that still stand up today, whether you realise they’re from that time or not. Think of our current obsession with bright over-the-knee boots, folk-inspired printed dresses, velvet and corduroy, boho blouses, midi skirts and so on. While the '70s sweep over the runways every couple of seasons, there’s always a hint of it on the streets if you look closely.Think of the iconic designer names that were indelibly marked into history during this decade, like Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld and Diane von Furstenberg. Also, during this period, mass-market, trend-driven fashion was more readily available. Barbara Hulanicki’s Biba kick-started the idea in London a decade earlier, alongside boutiques such as Bus Stop, and cool, connected girls were able to switch up their looks more readily, which likely led…

February 26, 2022 at 06:01AM Wedding ceremonies looked a little different over the past couple of years, but if you’re anything like us, you’ll now have invitations coming in by the handful for 2022 celebrations. Being fashion editors, we can’t help but plan our outfits way ahead of time, and thankfully, there’s plenty to choose from this season—whether you’re in the market for a slick suit or a flowing floral maxi.There are various factors to consider when choosing an outfit for an important event: the venue, the dress code, the weather and even how long the ceremony is going to last. Then, there’s the sheer number of dress options to choose from (not to mention the tailored and jumpsuit alternatives—but that’s a whole other article). From lace and chiffon to silk and organza, we really are spoilt for choice.More than anything else, we’re just excited about getting dressed up again, putting…

February 26, 2022 at 06:00AM We’ve all seen the film 27 Dresses, haven’t we? If not, you’ve probably experienced the difficult process of bridesmaid dress shopping in one way or another, whether it involved finding something that suits everyone for your own wedding or searching for one to wear for your BFF’s nuptials that wasn’t totally hideous. You might even be going through that exact scenario right now, but don’t worry— if that’s the case you’ve come to the right place to find a solution to the whole palava. Because H&M have just released a line of new bridesmaid dresses as part of their recent spring drop— and let me tell you, they’re good. Like, ‘I’m one of twelve bridesmaids for my friend’s wedding this summer and every single one of us just agreed on them’ good. Of course, it depends on the colour scheme and vibe of…

February 26, 2022 at 06:00AM You’ve probably heard us banging on about Arket’s perfect Hopsack Blazer before. That’s because every editor on the Who What Wear team is quite frankly obsessed, and we’re not afraid to shout about it. It’s not just us who have fallen for the clean lines and boxy shape of this expensive-looking jacket either— a whole host of fashionable faces have been spotted in this particular style over the last couple of years that it’s been around. That’s because, with its crisp yet oversized cut that could so easily pass for designer, it is hands down the best blazer on the high street— in fact, it’s one of the best blazers I’ve tried, full stop. And trust me, I’ve tried a lot. The blazer as a wardrobe staple has well and truly passed ‘trend’ status and become a fully fledged…

February 25, 2022 at 04:00AM The truth is, you’ll struggle to find any stylish woman who hasn’t either a) tried out a throwback trend from the ‘90s, or b) still owns a original piece from this decade (of their own or passed down). An iconic year where Kate Moss’s slip dress made its mark and Julia Roberts made a case for baggy jeans, a white T-shirt and leather blazer, there are so many trends that have made their way back into our wardrobes. And one that’s stealing the show for yet another season is the shoulder bag.Be it the new Celine Ava model Kaia Gerber has been wearing with absolutely every outfit, or the Triomphe style that’s as popular as the matching Celine logo belt everyone has been wearing. It bag labels Manu Atelier and JW Pei have also created nod to the ‘90s bags…
