January 29, 2022 at 06:02AM What makes British fashion so special is its heritage; our past is a rich (incredibly chic) tapestry of skilled makers and designers, with brands born long ago proving to be just as popular today. And one of those brands is Barbour. Though founded in 1845, Barbour has been creating the timeless wax jackets and outwear for which it is known since 1910, and honestly, very little about the design has changed, which is a good thing. Of course, modern updates have been made, but at their heart, their aesthetic and, as such, appeal ring true. But what is it that makes the Barbour jacket—a jacket designed for fishing in, no less—so iconic? Perhaps it’s its illustrious fan base. Princess Diana wears a longline Barbour jacket. Anyone who has watched the latest season of The Crown will know that the Barbour jacket was effectively a character…

January 29, 2022 at 06:00AM I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that, as a shopping editor, I can be pretty damn picky when it comes to clothes. While it’s not a prerequisite of the job, there is something about having an overview of the many collections and brands, both high-street and designer, that are available at any given moment that really focuses the brain on finding only the best possible pieces. Case in point: Zara is known for its generous online offering, which, while great for choice, is not always so good for concise edits. That’s where I come in.I will happily while away hours scrolling through various online new-in sections, each page with the potential to yield a hidden gem. It’s all about the thrill of the chase. My trick is to keep an eye out for prints, silhouettes or colourways that feel unusual (but not novelty) and…

January 29, 2022 at 06:00AM Our We Try Before You Buy series aims to take the stress out of shopping and eliminate the number of post office visits you make each month to return failed online orders. We test new-season buys and styling ideas so you don’t have to. Here, we’re letting you know what’s actually worth investing in or styling tricks you can re-create with pieces you already own. We fashion editors love a good wardrobe categorisation. We revel in our partywear pairings, spend years compiling the ultimate basics capsule and approach accessories with military levels of organisation. But just like the seasonal confines of bi-annual fashion collections, our regimented approach to clothes is starting to be brought into question.With traditional workwear struggling to find its footing post-lockdown and the rapid rise of loungewear to Zoom’s shoulders-up styling, there’s no denying that fashion has had a bit of an identity crisis over the last two years. Yet on the flip side, it has also…

January 29, 2022 at 06:00AM I’m not great with facials. Massages, yes, adore, cupping? Sign me up, but facials weren’t something I regularly book in for. Well, I never used to. And then I tried a Facegym workout. FaceGym is based on the concept of working out but for your face; sculpting and depuffing with a warm-up, vigorous exercise and a cool down. It’s not at all relaxing but effective, hell yes. It was after my first visit to FaceGym’s Selfridges branch that I realised what I didn’t like about a lot of other facials I have had, they tend to feel like nice massages, this one I could actually see and feel a difference. As an intro to the Facegym menu, I got their Signature Sculpt and it’s what got me hooked. I’m lucky enough to get to try a variety of treatments…

January 29, 2022 at 06:00AM 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…

January 29, 2022 at 05:00AM We may not know everything about what 2022 will hold, but when it comes to what you’ll be wearing we’re pretty confident making some predictions. Yes we’re only one month into the year, but since our day jobs involve a lot of scrolling through the best outfits on social media, keeping check on the latest street style and analysing the new season’s catwalks, it puts us in a rather good position for spotting trends and soon-to-be-cult items early.So, while the uncertainty of the upcoming months may send some of us into an anxious spiral (me? Never), we’re here to bring some sartorial comfort and help guide you and your wardrobe through the start of the new year confidently. Beginning with reporting on the fourteen most-wanted items in fashion right now. Whether you’re in need of some inspiration to rediscover items in your own wardrobe, or are beginning to think about which pieces…
