This Canadian Designer Has Created the Ultimate Aprés Ski Sweater

January 28, 2022 at 04:28PM “I want shoppers to get asked where they got their sweaters,” writes South van der Lee, president and designer of GOGO, over email. “But I also hope they feel like they are getting a big hug.” Such is the ethos behind the Calgary-based brand that has become a social media darling. Known for pairing millennial-esque colours and graphics with luxury wool and hand-crafted designs, the Canadian label was first launched in the late seventies by van der Lee’s mother in Alberta. In 2010, South took over and temporarily moved the operation to Toronto. “TO was very welcoming to new designers,” she shares. “I was, however, raised in the mountains and love to ski, so it was difficult not having access to the Rocky Mountains. I decided to move back out West after six years. Now I can hike…

The Best Street Style From Couture Week SS22

January 28, 2022 at 04:06PM I think I speak for all of us Canadians who are currently bundled up in warm winter-proof layers when I say it would be a — the? — dream to saunter down the streets of Paris enveloped by the magic of couture week. Every year, it’s those very streets where you’ll find the best off-runway style inspiration (I mean, we love a hunchback moment, but I wouldn’t exactly wear Nosferatu-style ear-high shoulder pads to Sunday brunch). Outside the city’s venues, guests, models and fashion’s top brass served some seriously creative street style for Spring 2022 couture week. Forget your model-off-duty neutrals and say hello to colourful monochromatic moments, patterns reminiscent of the 1960s, ‘70s by way of Y2K, shearling accents, and accessories like balaclavas, mini purses and statement jewellery (See our Spring/Summer 2022 trend reports for fashion, hair and…

32 Zara Pieces London Girls Are 100% Going to Buy

January 28, 2022 at 12:31PM Remember when Carrie Bradshaw quipped that, when she was strapped for cash, she used to buy fashion magazines over food because she felt that they “fed her more”? Well, contrary to Bradshaw, nothing comes between this girl and a burrito, but I do understand her sentiment.In 2019, I moved out of London after almost a decade spent in the capital. While there are certainly people, places, and—goes without saying—restaurants that I miss, the thing I miss the most is the fashion—specifically seeing what London girls are wearing. There’s nothing I loved more than, on the weekend, heading to sartorial hotspots to see what the coolest dressers in the capital were wearing. There’s just something so cool about the intrinsic London style that seems to sweep the city.Call it nostalgic longing, but upon looking at Zara’s new-in section, I couldn’t help…

If You Told Me These 21 Mango Items Were Designer, I’d Believe You

January 28, 2022 at 08:30AM If we’re good at anything here at Who What Wear, it’s finding luxe high street items that look like they could be designer. It’s a talent we’re proud of, and it comes as a result of a few things: Our genuine love for the great British high street— especially when it gets things really right; the sheer amount of time we spend combing through the new-in sections; and finally, our complex web of Slack channels that ping anytime someone spots a true gem, ensuring we have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the best items out there at all times. The thing is, searching for premium-looking wardrobe classics that sit at the more affordable end of the scale is not just something we do for work; it’s how we build our own wardrobes too.

Angelina Jolie Wore the Trouser Trend That’s Fresher Than Cropped Skinny Pants

January 28, 2022 at 08:00AM Angelina Jolie’s outfits always catch our attention, but especially when she’s in Paris (because who doesn’t love to see what people wear in Paris?). Jolie was recently in the City of Lights with her kids wearing a characteristically chic outfit. She wore her signature neutral color palette, opting for a white T-shirt, tan accessories and the subject of this story: full-length wide-leg khaki pants. If trouser muses were a thing (and perhaps they are), Angelina Jolie would be at the top of the list. You may recall that Jolie recently wore wide-leg jeans to the airport, and the look basically went viral. Wide-leg, full-length pants are a staple of hers, and they’ve pretty much taken the place of cropped skinny trousers for the time being—just see Jennifer Lawrence, Kendall Jenner and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for confirmation. Scroll on to see how she expertly styled them…

January 28, 2022 at 08:00AM Everyone deserves a beauty editor in their group chat for on-the-go questions on everything from the best concealer to where to go for a manicure that’ll last beyond the weekend. With the enviable job of testing and reviewing a seemingly endless supply of beauty products, they’re the best bet for product recommendations. The downside?

These 12 Fringe Hairstyles Are Making Me Want to Cut My Hair Short

January 28, 2022 at 08:00AM I have spent the past six years growing my hair back to waist length after I had a funny five minutes and decided to chop it all off in 2015. If you’re the sort of person who changes their hair every week, this might not seem like a particularly big deal to you, but having super-long hair is kind of my thing, so cutting it off at my shoulders was a really bold move. And while I liked it at first, my hair is very fine, and I found the need for daily styling a bit of a fuss. Needless to say, the novelty of change soon wore off, and I became wholeheartedly committed to growing it again. Six long years later, I’m now back in my comfort zone with my hair brushing against my lower back. But finally having my strands back…
