February 05, 2022 at 06:04AM It’s easy to get caught up in the world of social media, but looking through a filtered lens doesn’t give you the most accurate depiction of what’s happening around you.

Sure, this sort of escapism can be enjoyable and good for my Saved folders of outfits to bookmark for the future, but I always like to pull my focus back to what people are really wearing to inform my current choices.

10 Chic Haircuts That Look Amazing With Thick Hair

February 05, 2022 at 06:00AM Here at Who What Wear UK, we've dedicated huge amounts of time to digging out the best cuts, colours, styles and products—from hair-thickening shampoos to volume-boosting powders—to enable thin hair types to get thicker-looking strands fast. However, while I often get lots of questions about quick fixes to fake bigger hair, I'm here for those of you who already have naturally thick locks too.

Plus, I caught up with Michelle Sultan, a textured-hair specialist and the brand ambassador and creative director for Imbue Curls, to pick her…

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.

Black Canadian Designers to Shop From All Year Round

February 04, 2022 at 08:53PM February is Black History Month. Although we at FASHION celebrate diversity all year round, we’d like to take this opportunity to specifically highlight the exceptional talent of Black designers, who still face barriers to entry, marginalization and a lack of representation in the world of fashion. It’s been over a year since protests against policy brutality that escalated across the U.S. and around the world triggered major changes across many industries, including fashion. In May 2020, Aurora James founded the 15 Percent Pledge, calling on retailers to pledge 15% of shelf space to Black-owned businesses. A month later, notable shoe designer George Sully launched the platform Black Designers of Canada to feature and celebrate Black talent across the country. And while we witnessed the overwhelming support of Black businesses at the height of the summer of 2020, our support must…
