February 26, 2022 at 08:00AM While we pride ourselves on being ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest trends, there’s something to be said for forgetting about what’s cool and embracing the classics. Especially when it comes to hair, the mix of trending haircuts and celebs undergoing colour transformations can make visiting the hair salon feel like you’re about to sit an exam. After all, what if you go for a daring new chop only to regret it a couple of weeks later? To help, I’ve done a little research into the hairstyles that have stood the test of time, and I’ve come up with an edit of five that always look timeless. From Alexa Chung’s bob to Jennifer Aniston’s long, layered locks, some tried and tested formulas never seem to go out of style.Keep scrolling to learn about the five styles and for plenty…

February 26, 2022 at 08:00AM Melissa Meyers is a Los Angeles–based influencer with a focus on beauty, style, travel, and wellness. Her blog, The Glow Girl, aims to empower women to embrace the best version of themselves, age gracefully, and cultivate a glow from the inside out. She also happens to be a 54-year-old with a passion for clean beauty. Below, hear from Meyers on her favourite natural skincare, makeup, and hair formulas. Plus, how she uses them in her daily routine.I find that as I approach my mid-50s, my skin and body are getting more and more sensitive to what I put on them. Over the past year, I’ve been making an effort to incorporate and use clean, safe beauty products in my life in order to reduce my exposure to toxic chemicals. In doing so, my allergies have improved, I feel…

February 26, 2022 at 08:00AM I don’t want to get ahead of myself—I know there’s still lots of mileage in winter yet—but try as I may, I can’t help but let my sartorial attention shift towards the new season and, dare I say, spring. Putting the “s” word to one side for a second, I do believe it’s important to keep your feet firmly planted in the present, but it does also pay to cast an eye on the future. Sometimes, seasons can change like the flick of a switch, and the last thing you’ll want is to feel caught out where your outfits are concerned. This is where colour plays an integral role.Nothing has the power to change the tone of your look quite like the colours you choose, and I feel like, as new-in sections start to blend between winter and spring,…

February 26, 2022 at 08:00AM Looking at celebrities basking in the sunshine on their recent slew of exotic holidays has reminded me of a couple of things: 1) that I need to replenish my supply of dental floss when I’m next at Tesco, and 2) that it’s good to get out of your leggings and knitwear once in a while and embrace something… skimpy. And what could be skimpier than a barely there string bikini?That’s right; stylish stars have been casting aside their Baywatch-esque high-leg cossies in favour of teeny triangle bikinis—the sort that dominated every beach, poolside and popular music video in the ‘90s. And you know what? I might join them.A few years ago, I found my swimwear comfort zone in retro, high-waist bikinis—the sort that cover my belly button and provide me with the added support across my hips that I…

February 26, 2022 at 08:00AM If you spent the downtime over Christmas break like I did (catching up with Instagram while binging Netflix, obviously), then you will probably have spotted one jumper cropping up again and again. Ganni’s scarf-neckline cable-knit jumper is a thing of beauty, and it is a piece we would definitely consider to be a modern classic here at Who What Wear. So it’s no wonder so many influencers and editors have taken the plunge and added it to their wardrobes already. Shall we talk about what makes it so great? Well, firstly, the cable-knit pattern is so timeless, looks expensive—especially in cream—and is always one of the items on my winter capsule list. The traditional knit makes even the simplest pair of jeans look super luxe and cosy. Secondly, it’s versatile. I’ve added some examples below of how fashion girls have been wearing it so…

February 26, 2022 at 08:00AM In recent years, it was typical to see leggings paired with sneakers or a pair of slide sandals from time to time, but that’s about it. This winter, celebrities have been wearing them outside of the gym a lot more than usual, even dressing them up with chic outerwear and jewellery. And the particular shoe style that’s most often worn with jeans this time of year? Ankle boots.Yes, you read correctly—leather ankle boots (and not just Uggs) have made their way back into celebrities’ legging outfits, many of which have heels. We’ll admit that they look very, very chic. Take Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, for example, in her long vest, athletic leggings, and black suede ankle boots. Want to see more proof? Scroll for the celeb-approved legging-and–ankle-boot outfits that may encourage you to follow suit (and shop stylish leggings and ankle boots, of course).On Jennifer…

February 26, 2022 at 06:30AM London Fashion Week is officially over, and this season served a whole load of stunning beauty looks. From the bejewelled, studded eye looks at Simone Rocha to Molly Goddard’s sky-high ponytails, the London looks for A/W22 were truly exceptional. But while I was tiptoeing my way through the backstage crowds last week at Emilia Wickstead to see if I could grab a few seconds with the lead makeup artist Naoko Scintu (she was creating the beauty look with By Terry), I realised something quite important: fashion week beauty has barely changed.No, I’m not talking about the looks that make it onto the catwalk, but rather the backstage heroes that makeup artists and models swear by to see them through fashion month. As I scanned the tables, analysed the contents of spilled kit bags and caught quick glances whenever a model…

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…
