January 22, 2022 at 08:00AM According to Kendall Jenner, you don’t need a fancy, feathered dress or crystal-covered heels to post an awe-worthy Instagram for New Year’s Eve. Rather, slippers and sweatpants will more than cut it. On Sunday, the supermodel shared a slideshow of images from the first weekend of 2022 with the caption, “my weekend.” Included in the mix were none of her usual hyper-elevated street style looks but instead a selection of quarantine-ready ensembles that, despite their more low-key vibe, still managed to make it to the top of our style mood board for the year ahead. One especially covetable get-up from her celebratory weekend included a shearling, check-print vest, heather-gray sweatpants and a pair of £50 cloud shoes (that’s puffy shoes in regular speak) that are almost impossible to get your hands on. Specifically, Jenner wore The North Face’s best-selling ThermoBall mules, aka indoor-outdoor slip-ons that look and feel like a puffer…

January 22, 2022 at 08:00AM I don’t just click on the Zara app/website to look for something to buy, as often go to simply browse for outfit inspiration or new styling ideas. While the second option may indeed lead to the first, some of the outfits are easy to copy with staples you already own. Some are a little more out there, as there’s no denying Zara’s stylist always know how to create a talking point.With the Instagram account (@awkwardzara) documenting the latest model poses boasting over 64,000 followers (remember the model on a cooker during lockdown one?), the high street site always steps into high end territory with daring outfit combinations. And I, for one, am always inspired by a lot of these. With a new year to think about, I’m in the mood to get experimenting with some of Zara’s new in pieces. So…

January 22, 2022 at 06:35AM Searching for the perfect pair of boots is long, arduous work. There are heel heights to consider and toe shapes, how far they climb up the leg, and then, of course, there are countless colours to choose from. But let’s simplify things for a second. It’s widely agreed that black boots make for the most versatile, so let’s focus on that. Then, the heel—it’s nice to have a little bit of height, but as much as we’d like it to be otherwise, we certainly don’t have any real need for a heel over the size of two inches right now. Ankle-grazing boots work well on everyone, so let’s filter that in. And as for toe shape? Well, nothing looks quite so sharp as a pointed one. Put all of these factors together, and what do you get? The closest thing…

January 22, 2022 at 06:30AM Valentine’s Day is usually equated with various cheesy traditions: red roses, chocolates, champagne, extravagant dinner plans and manicured nails with mini-heart designs all over them. If heart nails are your thing, that’s perfectly all right, but if we’re being honest, they’re not really ours. So this year, we went on a mission to find a way to participate in Valentine’s Day festivities while still feeling like ourselves. That means a cool, polished outfit for whatever our V-Day plans will entail and an equally elevated manicure to go with it. We’re talking about eye-catching hues of satiny red, glossy baby pink and bold variations of purple that are appropriate for the occasion without feeling like they’re trying too hard. Below are nine of the coolest Valentine’s Day nail colour ideas we currently have on our “to paint ASAP” list. Keep scrolling!A classic wash of red is…

January 22, 2022 at 06:30AM As beauty editors, we know that you have a hard time taking our recommendations seriously. Not because you don’t want to believe us but because of everything you have likely learned of beauty journalism. When I posted a Q&A on Instagram a few months ago, I was totally taken aback by how many people asked me what products I actually like. It would seem as though our content on social media is deemed somewhat more authentic than the online stories we write for our day jobs.And this got me thinking. In order to truly convince you that we really do believe every ounce of what we preach, I’d let you go where no one has gone before, lifting the curtain on exactly what we beauty editors talk about behind closed doors, from skincare to makeup. After all, what more relevant beauty tips…

January 22, 2022 at 06:06AM Every season, new handbag trends make their way into the street style world, and each season, we eagerly scout said accessories. Despite fashion weeks not taking place in real life, there are still a load of new bags coming in (perhaps, most notably, the Prada Cleo). They’re fashion-forward and have serious backing. Sometimes, though, it's the classic designer handbags you simply can’t say no to because they are just that: classic.If you’re unsure about which luxury piece to splurge on, consider turning to the most popular designer bags ever. It’s no easy feat to earn such a title, and though many come attached with a pretty big price tag, they’re worth the splurge and deserve a spot in your collection. They’ve been the most sought-after year after year (just take a look at the fashion people below as proof), and they’ll continue to be…

January 22, 2022 at 06:02AM The thing about celebrity engagement rings is that the longer you read about them, the more skewed your perception of “expensive” becomes. A ring that racked up a £150,000 receipt is no longer considered to be worth a second glance when you compare it to one that cost a cool £7 million. In reality, though, nearly every celebrity engagement ring is absurdly beautiful, large and therefore, pricey. What’s more, the stories and proposals behind them make every ring that little bit more interesting.From Victoria Beckham’s incredible engagement ring from David Beckham (apparently she has 14 others in the collection, as you do) to Jennifer Lopez’s pink jewel from Ben Affleck (remember Bennifer?), there are so many we know you’ll be keen to ogle. As for more recently, there have been quite a few high profile engagements: Hailey Baldwin and…

January 22, 2022 at 06:02AM The next big non–skinny jeans trend is here, and it couldn’t be chicer. While skinny jeans will truly never die, nor do we want them to, we’ve spotted a number of emerging denim trends that are pretty much the antithesis of skinnies. We’ve already mentioned how flares and loose jeans are on the rise, and, well, we’re adding another of these non-skinny styles to the top of our lists: high-rise wide-leg jeans.These are full-length jeans with a trouser-like wide leg and a high rise. We know that wide-leg jeans can be intimidating if you’re not used to wearing them already, which is why the high rise is crucial here. It hugs you in all the right places and creates some nice dimension for the overall silhouette. Some of the standout pairs defining the trend are Levi’s High Loose Jeans, which celebs and their stylists alike are…

January 22, 2022 at 06:00AM The fashion category that we editors like to call “It items” is not one that is usually known for its affordability, especially when it comes attached to a designer brand (which it often does). However, in recent years, fashion’s “mid-price” offering has expanded, with even the loftiest labels offering up pieces under £300. As you’d imagine, this price range is dominated by designer accessories—belts, scarves, jewellery—but if you look hard enough, there are also designer staples, such as logo tees, crew-neck knits and jeans, that can be found at lower prices. It’s also worth checking out insider brands that might not have the same look-at-me appeal as Gucci or Louis Vuitton but still pack plenty of fashion kudos. Raey is a great example, as it’s established itself as a cult fave amongst fashion editors thanks to its quality, minimalistic staples that won’t break the…

January 22, 2022 at 06:00AM When a high street item starts garnering a certain amount of hype, it seriously piques our interest here at Who What Wear. That’s what happened recently, anyway, when word got around about how great H&M’s wide-leg trousers were. Last year we sold over 1000 pairs through the site and after delving deeper we realised that most styles were consistently receiving incredible reviews online. So, of course, we had to see how good they were for ourselves. I was tasked with trying on as many pairs as I could get my hands on (harder than it sounds when they fly out of stock as quickly as they do), firstly to see whether they lived up to expectations, and secondly which styles in particular were worth spending money on. Turns out those reviewers weren’t wrong, and there were quite a few brilliant ones. But the…
