February 17, 2022 at 06:27AM For a moment there, I thought all the new-season collections were stuck in customs as I impatiently sat clicking refresh on the new in pages last week, but—hey, presto!—they have landed, and boy, are they good. We all love the January sales for finding a steal, but nothing uplifts me more than a new season: fresh trends and a raft of dreamy pieces that mean spring is on its way.I’ve spent the last few days filtering out the hottest new-in pieces so you don’t have to, and instead, you can click through my edit and snap up these perfect pieces before they go, from cult designer sunnies to key footwear shapes to take your wardrobe through to summer and the new names to know. Happy shopping!It’s quite possibly the Italian in me, but I’m rarely seen without a pair of sunnies, even…

February 17, 2022 at 06:07AM For the longest time, Zara was my default shop—the place I could stroll into, confident I would find something to take home with me. Admittedly, I still browse and buy from Zara—it remains one of my preferred high-street spots—but not with the same fervour that I once used to. I put this down to a few things. Yes, the pandemic is one of them (I live in Scotland, and it’s only just this week that fitting rooms have reopened—something that has deterred many shoppers from venturing out). The other? I spend more cautiously. I’m just not as hung up on having something “new” anymore.Perhaps contrary to the consensus, I actually have more willpower shopping online compared to bricks-and-mortar stores. The urgency doesn’t seem quite as intense virtually as it does when you realise there’s only one left in your…

February 17, 2022 at 06:00AM You just can’t beat & Other Stories for expensive-looking high-street buys at the moment. Being a fashion editor automatically means a lot of my family and friends come to me and ask for advice on where to shop, for anything from wedding guest outfits to the best jeans, and honestly, 90% of the time & Other Stories is my answer.

February 17, 2022 at 06:00AM It seems like no matter our given hair, most of us spend way too much of our time wishing for something else. Those with curly hair will go to great lengths to straighten it, just as natural brunettes will spend hours in colourists’ chairs trying to achieve the perfect blonde. And while everyone has the right to express themselves through the haircut, colour, or style of their choosing, education around best practices for one’s own hair could be the difference between hating what grows out of our heads and loving it. According to Erica Conan, ColorProof director of education, this is especially true when it comes to picking the best hair colours for thin hair. While those with thin hair have been convinced for years that ultra-light colours are the only ones that work for this hair type, this veteran stylist disagrees. “Colour preservation is key…

February 17, 2022 at 06:00AM It’s a nightmare situation, you’ve dyed your hair and either something’s gone wrong or you just hate the colour. I’ve definitely been there with berry-hued wash-in colour. Whatever the reason, you want it reverted immediately. Depending on the colour level of your natural hair and the permanence of the dye you have a few options to fix your look.If you had your colour done by a professional in salon, I promise you it’s always better to go back to the salon to correct things. They’ll know the formulas needed to balance the tones and how to effectively strip the previous colour if needed, without causing irreparable damage. Hair colour will always fade over time even done professionally due to environmental and styling damage that can occur, so make sure you top your colour up by using a colour conditioner or clear gloss…

February 17, 2022 at 06:00AM If you had any doubt over whether bright colours were going to be big in 2022, a quick browse of MyTheresa’s new-in section is sure to clear things up. Against the beiges, browns and creams that have prevailed in recent seasons, this season’s explosion of rainbow brights is certainly hard to miss. Of course, we have no doubt that the Totêmes and The Rows of this world will continue to champion the power of neutrals, and there is certainly a time and place for these classic pieces. But for many of us, it’s been refreshing to embrace something new this season, a very fashionable reflection of spring 2022’s joyful mood. (Here’s hoping, anyway.)The shades that are holding court this season are vibrant, unapologetic and extroverted in the best way possible. We’re talking canary yellow, tangerine orange, lime green and…

February 17, 2022 at 06:00AM Fashion month has understandably been very subdued over the past two years. However, this season, more designers have been showing their collections in person. More events mean 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…

February 17, 2022 at 05:00AM As a stylist there are a number of questions I get asked by my peers over and over again. Things like, what’s really the best pair of jeans? Where can I find expensive-looking items on the high street? Or which shoes go with this outfit? One of the most common I’ve been asked a lot recently, though, is what to wear with trousers— especially since the trend for anything with legs shows no sign of abating.We like to make it our mission as Who What Wear editors to help solve as many of these queries as possible, so I put my head down and started thinking about which top shapes I always turn to when pulling together winning trousers looks— whether that’s for myself, on shoots or for my styling clients. Fortunately, finding perfect trouser-and-top combos is absolutely not…
