February 11, 2022 at 08:00AM Okay, I admit it. When it comes to buying denim these days, I’m a bit of a snob. I spent my early 20s trying every high-street style I could find, going through God knows how many pairs of Topshop Jonis and Jamies. Once I hit my 30s, I gave up and started investing in fewer, more considered (read: expensive) pairs, hoping this was the solution to finding the holy grail of perfect jeans.I’ve definitely found a few really great go-tos, but like all of us, I’m still constantly on the lookout for a better pair. And while I presumed my high-street denim days were behind me, it was a recent Who What Wear team Slack discussion around everyone’s favourite jeans that had me reluctantly reconsidering.The verdict was that Marks and Spencer jeans are seriously impressive. Our contributing beauty editor Shannon Lawlor says it’s…

February 11, 2022 at 08:00AM How does Jennifer Lopez dress for a date night in Los Angeles? Well, for dinner with Ben Affleck at celebrity-favourite restaurant Craig’s, she kept it sleek and simple in a slim-fit tank top, high-waisted, wide-leg trousers, and some designer jewellery. (Oh, and don’t forget her best accessory of all: her ripped arms.)Wide-leg trousers are a fun trend to experiment with if you’ve been wearing your go-to skinny jeans to shreds lately. The pants are super comfortable and easy to wear yet look a lot more polished than denim, making them perfect for date night. Scroll down to see Jennifer Lopez’s new outfit, and shop similar pieces for yourself.  On Jennifer Lopez: Foundrae necklace; Loro Piana Sesia Bag (£2885)This price tag is incredibly tempting. This tank from Kim Kardashian’s brand, Skims, has rave reviews. Another well-priced basic that you’ll get a ton of use out of. These…

February 11, 2022 at 08:00AM I don’t know about you, but the past year has felt long. I’ve got more grey hair and more wrinkles, and despite going to bed earlier, I’m still tired. There’s no denying that I’ve felt like I’ve aged faster in lockdown. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with this (I have no issues with changing hair colour or a few lines on my face), the speed at which it has happened has been a little disconcerting. I want to feel like myself again, and for me, that means getting a haircut. Over the past few months, I’ve lost count of the number of people who have said their hair needs cutting, from my husband to my colleagues as well as my parents. The craving to get a chop has been strong. Personally, I’m desperate to get my hair cut back into a…

February 11, 2022 at 06:15AM I don’t want to sound like a fashion cliché, but I think I’ve fallen in love with a jumper. To be fair, the pullover in question has all the attributes I’m looking for: It’s striped, loose-fitting and, crucially, looks way more expensive than it is. The piece I’m referring to comes from Arket and costs £69. The brand has reissued this jumper after similar versions sold out last year, and I (along with the rest of the Who What Wear team) have been waiting for this new drop ever since. It’s not really surprising that we’re all falling over ourselves for this high-street item considering it is very similar to the incredibly expensive Celine version, so this feels like a real bargain. This time, there are two versions for us to choose from: a white jumper with blue stripes (the OG) and a white jumper with…

February 11, 2022 at 06:08AM Lorna wears a blazer and T-shirt from Arket. There’s a misconception that you can’t find classic wardrobe items on the high street—that the pieces are too trend-led and their appeal will fade when new sartorial movements come into play. However, we’re here to prove otherwise.All of our favourite high-street brands are known for getting specific things right, whether that’s an entire product category, such as ASOS’s knitted co-ords, or a particular item, for example, & Other Stories’ wool-blend blazer or Dune’s cult Loupe sandals.Following on from this, we’ve rounded up all the expensive-looking pieces that fit this citation to bring you the best high-street classic items from each store to spend your money on. The perfect capsule is but a scroll away.Style Notes: We’ve made a pact to wear more dresses this year. Naturally, & Other Stories’ dress department is our first port of call. From…

February 11, 2022 at 06:07AM When it comes to celebrity style, it’s easy to jump straight into conversations about red carpet looks and directional Instagram posts of avant-garde outfits. But the truth is the stars love their jeans just as much as we do. Thank goodness for that because they inadvertently provide a mountain of inspiration on how to style them the moment they step out on the streets.Lately, in place of high heels, I’ve noticed that some of my favourite fashion-proficient celebs have been wearing jeans exclusively with flat shoes, and I want in. I’m not big into trainers, so I’m always on the lookout for flat-footwear solutions to wear with my denim, and it just so happens that Kendall Jenner, Katie Holmes and Zoë Kravitz (to name a few) have been exploring this combination in recent weeks.So which flat shoes have celebrities been wearing with…

February 11, 2022 at 06:05AM As chilly winter weather continues, I find myself questioning how to make each of my outfits as cosy as possible. Of course, the addition of a puffer jacket or a beanie hat can be helpful, and a cashmere scarf doesn’t go unappreciated, but on the footwear front, there always seems to be a lack of shoes that provide that warm, fuzzy feeling.However, recently, just about every major It girl has managed to find a solution to fill the cosy-shaped hole in my footwear rotation. Enter Ugg boots—and, in particular, the new Ultra Mini style. Yes, the divisive shoes of the early aughts are back. And while there has been much debate about whether Ugg boots are in fact shoes—much like the debate that questions whether leggings can justifiably be worn as trousers—it is evident that in 2022, anything goes.Although some might think Uggs are akin…

February 11, 2022 at 06:00AM As an editor at Who What Wear, I typically spend a lot of time looking at new-in products, so every week, I update this story with the pieces that have caught my eye and that really stand out.I’m in the mood to just dress up again, and with a calendar full of weddings, hen dos and other celebrations for 2022, I’m already starting to look at fancier items I can add to my wardrobe. This week I love a pair of amazing checked platform heels, a bright pink shirt and an orange top and maxi skirt. I’ve also added some classic spring items to my wishlist, including two beautiful trench coats and an oversized leather jacket from Whistles.So whether you’re looking to buy, browse or discover something new, keep scrolling for pieces from the high street and designer…

February 11, 2022 at 06:00AM Despite its relative newness on the high street, & Other Stories has quickly established itself as a go-to for enviable denim silhouettes. From its Kate Middleton–approved Favourite Cut to fashion editors’ highly treasured Keeper Cut, the brand has a pair of jeans for every occasion. For many of us, jeans are one of the most used items of clothing in our wardrobes, so it’s important to keep finding new ways to wear our old faithfuls. Luckily, & Other Stories has plenty of inspo to offer in this department, too.I’ve done a bit of digging to find five classic denim styles that I’d love to live in this spring and beyond. I’ve also styled them with some of & Other Stories’s new-in separates to give you some ideas of how to make them feel fresh for the new season—you’re…

February 11, 2022 at 06:00AM Skincare is a subject I take seriously, and when I meet individuals who have amazing skin, I’ll be the first to pick their brains on the ins and outs of their skincare routine. Most people would ask a new person they meet what they do for a living. I ask a new person how they’ve cleansed throughout their life. (What can I say? I just need to know.) And when it comes to skincare, we can learn a thing or two from our wiser counterparts. These women have spent the better half of a lifetime trying, testing and evaluating the best products that work for their visages. Eager to learn more about what our over-50 friends are using on a daily basis, I tapped into a handful of women with particularly good skin and asked them to share…
