Zara Is Popping Off Right Now—35 Pieces I Can’t Stop Thinking About

February 22, 2022 at 06:09AM I consistently peruse Zara while doing market research for various stories. That said, I scroll through the dozens of pages and end up shopping a little bit for myself. I always make sure to share my great finds with my equally Zara-obsessed colleagues who, naturally, approve of my picks (and can often persuade me to hit purchase). However, I don’t have the money or the room in my wardrobe to buy it all, so getting it out of my system by sharing my latest finds here.I spent a few hours navigating the entire site, from new arrivals to sale items that are shockingly still in stock. If you’re in the mood to shop but don’t have time to search through hundreds of items like I do, you’ve come to the right place. From a kelly-green plissé set to a luxe-looking gold belt, it’s going to be…

10 Trends London’s Coolest People Are Wearing Right Now

February 22, 2022 at 06:06AM Oh, London Fashion Week—you never fail to disappoint. As editors, influencers, models, stylists, and buyers made their way from show to show in what feels like the most “normal” Fashion Week since 2019, the streets of London became a sartorial showcase and made me realise just how much we’ve missed the spectacle.Of course, the Who What Wear team will be charting the trends that we’ve seen on the runway in good time, but right now, I’m focusing my efforts on reporting what the street style set have been wearing. Call me biased (I am a proud Brit, after all), but while New York Fashion Week certainly gave us plenty of trends to think about, I believe the street style looks from London are a league all their own. Who What Wear’s Editor in Chief, Hannah Almassi, told me from…

I Just Found 5 Chic Curve Brands on ASOS

February 22, 2022 at 05:47AM Let’s be straight here: Fashion has never been good with plus-size clothing. Historically, the curve offering has been dismally small, and even when it was offered, often, the designs are hardly what you’d call fashionable. While we undoubtedly have a long way to go still, over the last few years, the choice of brands has definitely grown, with many high-street names developing curve lines and newly launched labels catering solely to this audience.ASOS is one of the platforms that have led the way in plus-size fashion, not only in its own Curve line but also in the other brands it stocks. It’s so refreshing to see a site dedicate a whole section to curve styles, and one which is packed full of chic, trend-led pieces that don't compromise on fit. Neon Rose is one brand whose curve line has always impressed me, and I’ve also recently spotted some seriously cool dresses from Never Fully…

Even I Wouldn’t Guess These Expensive-Looking Handbags Were High Street

February 22, 2022 at 05:00AM Ask any fashion-loving person what we have on our shopping wish list, and we’ll likely mention at least one handbag. What can we say, we’re suckers for beautiful sidekicks. A few years ago, you could probably guarantee that that bag would come from one of the biggest designers— someone like Loewe, Gucci or ChloĂ©; and sure, those super high-end bags still hold a place on our dream vision boards for special occasions and major milestones. But recently, with designer bag prices rising higher and higher, a space has been created for premium-looking styles that sit at the more affordable end of the scale— and they’ve been wooing us in just the same way.Marisa carries the COS crossbody bagThe next level down includes some really exciting contemporary accessory brands, from Wandler and Staud to Neous and A.P.C.— all sitting between the ÂŁ200-ÂŁ700 price point and perfect for a payday treat to yourself or big…

This Is How Easy It Is to Style a Gucci Belt

February 22, 2022 at 05:00AM If there’s one brand that has been inescapable over the past few years, it's Gucci. Since 2015, under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele, the brand has become one of the hottest fashion houses around. Thanks to Alessandro’s exciting and fresh vision, countless other designers and high-street brands have followed the “edgy grandma from the ‘70s” trend. But the real secret of the fashion house’s success lies in its accessibility. While some opt to wear the brand sunglasses to platforms, others dip a toe in with a bag or a pair of shoes. But one of the easiest ways to get the Gucci look? The now-iconic double-G belt.It has a cool but goes-with-everything-in-your-wardrobe appeal that makes it a must for both diehard fashion lovers and your mum. To keep it interesting, the brand has reimagined the GG belts in different ways—from the classic black, brown and white…

Meet the Design Duo Behind Your Favourite Emily in Paris Outfits

February 21, 2022 at 12:36PM In a televised sea of unattainable lifestyles and scripted drama, fashion is one element we can replicate in reality. The transfixing glow of fashion forward television draws us into the lives and wardrobes of the best dressed characters on screen as we lose ourselves in their fictitious affairs. We may never live like them, but with stylists pulling from real life racks we can certainly dress like them. The whimsicality of luxury label Rianna + Nina’s designs lend themselves fittingly to bubbly characters like Sex and the City’s Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) in its reboot And Just Like That… and effervescent American expat Emily Cooper (Lilly Collins) in season two of Emily in Paris. The Berlin-born brand gone Hollywood dreams up one-of-a-kind designs we can shop to bridge the gap between us and our favourite fictional fashion icons.…
