Birkenstocks Get the Luxury Treatment In a New Collaboration With Dior

January 21, 2022 at 09:35PM In the midst of Mens’ Fashion Week in Paris, a glimpse at the footwear on the Dior runway stopped me dead in my tracks: Are they be wearing Birkenstocks? Like really luxe Birkenstocks? A little while later, an email from Dior PR confirmed my suspicions. Dior partnered with Birkenstock to launch their own collaboration, which they aptly debuted on the winter 2022 runway. The whole lineup of new winter looks was, in fact, finished with a pair of Dior by Birkenstock clogs, all crafted in the same “Dior gray” and neutrals. Chic. The iconic brands partnered for the first time on this collaboration, introducing two reinvented Birkenstock classics. Both the Tokio mules and the Milano sandals were given the Dior treatment, rendered in felt and suede, and finished in the same seasonal palette that designer Kim Jones chose…

7 Spacious Weekender Bags I’ve Actually Tried and Truly Love

January 21, 2022 at 08:05PM I like to consider myself a pro-traveler, who is truly an expert packer. Pre-pandemic, I was racking up a ton of air miles and could go just about anywhere with a carry-on suitcase. My secret to only taking a small piece of luggage was that I would get a ton of use out of my weekender bag. These useful totes are so much more handy than traditional purses, because I can take everything in them from my cosmetics to shoes to my laptop, and lastly, even my normal handbag. Throughout the years, and now that I’m safely traveling again, I’ve tested and tried a handful of these large carryalls, and I definitely have my favorites. If you’re tired of traveling around with that old oversize tote you’ve had for too long, now’s the time to invest in a…

I Tried Several Puffer Jackets, and These Are the 5 That Can Withstand a New York Winter

January 21, 2022 at 06:00PM I’m spending my first winter in New York City, and as soon as the temperatures started to drop in early November, every New Yorker’s favorite thing to tell me was, “You haven’t felt anything yet!” As a California girl who grew up with 60-degree winters, I knew I was going to be cold in no time. In order to get through the chilly temperatures (that still continue to drop) there was one thing I knew I needed: a real winter coat. I’ve truly never owned one before, because I never lived in a cold climate, so I did what every shopping pro does: started my shopping journey. My wish list entailed pretty much just wanting something cute, comfy, and warm. I took several recommendations from friends and fellow editors, and the more people I asked, the more I…

17 Sweatpants to Lounge Around in for International Sweatpants Day

January 21, 2022 at 05:37PM What better way to celebrate International Sweatpants Day (yes, it’s real) than by relaxing in your comfiest loungewear all day long? Granted, many of us hoped our cozy pandemic wear was a thing of the past, but that dream was squashed when Omicron sent us all back into one form of isolation or another. Besides, as we enter 2022, it’s clear that our desire for comfort has not yet subsided. With more companies adopting work-from-home or hybrid schedules for their employees, we foresee sweatshirts and sweatpants continuing to be a wardrobe staple in many peoples’ lives. Even designers are making athleisure an essential part of their product offerings (take Prada’s collaboration with Adidas for instance). Whether you’re running errands, attending zoom meetings all day or binge-watching the latest season of a popular TV show (Euphoria, anyone?), sweatpants are…

We Were the First People to Try The Body Shop’s New Foundation, and It’s Good

January 21, 2022 at 09:05AM Foundation is a bit of touchy topic here at Who What Wear. It’s not that we don’t like foundation; it’s more that we’re constantly on the lookout for the perfect formula. Because, if you’re asking me, the perfect foundation hasn’t been created yet. Sure, there are plenty of wonderfully glowing and wearable ones around, but as far as a foundation that blurs all imperfections, feels totally weightless and leaves skin looking like skin goes? I’m still waiting for the perfect formula. It’s needless to say, therefore, that when we hear there’s a new foundation launching, we’re desperate to try it and find out whether it’s The One. So when one of our favourite beauty brands (The Body Shop, of course) reached out to tell us they were reformulating Fresh Nude Foundation (£18) and that they wanted Team Who What Wear to be the first to try…

Hands Down, These Are Going to Be the Buzziest Brands of 2022

January 21, 2022 at 08:00AM It’s not clear who or what decides which brands will be the most talked about of the year. Really, it comes down to a heady (and often random) mix of things like instant catwalk buzz; influencer, celeb or fashion-girl backing; award nods and impressive designs. Nailing one of these can lead to a murmuring under the surface, but nail all of them (which often happens in a domino effect) and you’ve got yourself an officially ‘buzzy’ brand.It’s important to note: a buzzy label is not necessarily always new, or a high-end designer that has the cash to get its products seen. It can be either of those, but it can also involve a lesser-known high street brand coming to the fore, or a resurgence of a previously overlooked label that needed time to grow into its identity. Look at Totême for example, which…
