January 05, 2022 at 12:13PM We love a good ‘Marmite’ trend here at Who What Wear, and one of our favourite past-times is getting stuck-into a meaty fashion debate, even if it is via Slack. Well, we might only be 5 days into 2022, but the fashion sphere has already delivered a juicy winter accessory trend that has well and truly divided us editors. Love it or loathe it, knitted balaclavas are taking over this January. Initially embraced by a few experimental fashion-lovers, the trend quickly gathered momentum as the mercury dropped in December, and I quickly lost count of the number of balaclava-clad individuals I spotted on Instagram, including fashion royalty Alexa Chung. From colour-pop pink to classic beige, it’s been fascinating to see how different style personalities have championed this curveball trend. It’s certainly a handy solution to the current cold snap. But, what do…

January 05, 2022 at 10:01AM 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 getup 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 North Face’s best-selling ThermoBall mules, aka indoor-outdoor slip-ons that look and feel like a puffer coat for…

January 05, 2022 at 08:00AM Let’s face it: We spend so much time putting our everyday outfits together and reading up on and shopping the latest fashion trends that lingerie seldom gets a look in. When you’re pushed for time in a morning, those final five minutes before you rush out the door (or to your home office if that’s still the case for you) are typically dedicated to final applications of makeup or choosing which shoes go best with the rest of your ensemble. More often than not, underwear is an afterthought. But that shouldn’t be the case. Like with every other garment or accessory we wear, there are trends worth paying attention to. After all, as satisfying as it is to know that you’re killing it in the outfit department, isn’t it even more satisfying to secretly know that your underwear is equally on point?…

January 05, 2022 at 08:00AM It’s no secret that French women possess a knack for a polished style that reads as effortless and cool. Over the years, they prove to really refine their personal senses of style with wardrobes stocked with incredible closet essentials. French women are truly in the know about which building blocks will last for years ahead, so it’s no surprise you’ll spot many of them wearing the same staples.Yep, you’ll be sure to spot elegant tweed pieces on both Carla Bruni and Isabel Marant. The same goes for ankle boots, which you’ll see Nadege du Bosterus and Juliette Binoche styling with their looks. And it doesn’t stop there. Ahead, take inspiration from stylish over-50 French women and see the six pieces you’ll spot in all of their closets. You can also shop the items for yourself to replicate their chic looks.No matter…

January 05, 2022 at 08:00AM I’m lucky enough in my job to have access to celebrity facialists, top beauty brands and the best experts in the industry, but I’ve noticed more and more that it’s A-listers themselves who are becoming all the more influential when it comes to serving up legitimately good beauty advice. Of course, celebrities like Beyoncé and Jennifer Aniston are surrounded by the beauty industry’s cream of the crop on a daily basis—from makeup artists to hairstylists—so it’s really no surprise that they’ve picked up some expert beauty tips along the way. There’s one celebrity in particular, however, whose skincare knowledge I trust more than most: Victoria Beckham.With her very own beauty line under her belt and a dedicated beauty reel of product recommendations and top tips on her Instagram, Beckham’s love of all things beauty is obvious. Her passion for products combined with how open she has…

January 05, 2022 at 08:00AM Within the ever-colliding stratospheres of fashion and beauty, “rules” have become a bit passé, if not obsolete altogether. Gone are the days when we’d refuse to wear white after Labor Day or dismiss navy and black as an ill-conceived colour pairing. Currently, we feel inspired to dye our hair a demurely shocking shade of lavender. A hot-pink eyelid is cooler than yesteryear’s smoked-out cat eye, and we’re even experimenting with crystal-studded manicures and cute-but-clashing polish shades. Our point? It’s an exciting time to be in fashion and beauty, and more so than ever before, our hair, makeup and fashion aesthetic reflect that.Hair, especially, has been the comeback kid of 2021. Previously old-fashioned styles like the mullet have been artistically resurrected, and we currently own more scrunchies, hair claws and butterfly clips than we did circa 1999. Impressive. That said, one…

January 05, 2022 at 06:30AM Up until a few years ago, I’d probably never spent more than £15 on a candle. This is unsurprising, considering I had gone from being a struggling art student to a still-struggling fashion assistant, whose minimum-wage salary didn’t afford me the luxury of spending £15 on a couple of days worth of food, let alone something I was going to burn away. However, as I’ve grown up, so has (thankfully) my budget; and so has my obsession with candles.At any given time, I probably have four candles on rotation in my home—I type this as my £7.50 Marks and Spencer candle flickers next to me. And while I certainly don’t snub more affordable candles (my M&S bargain serving as a case in point), I have come to understand the appeal of expensive candles.Diptyque was my inaugural introduction to the world of…

January 05, 2022 at 06:30AM If you experience dark circles under your eyes, you’ll know all too well that they are a special sort of beauty gripe that just won’t give up. While breakouts come and go, dry skin softens and fine lines plump out with certain hydrating creams, dark under-eye circles are much more stubborn. And trust me, I know all about it. A couple of years ago, I was so fed up with my persistent dark circles that I actually booked in for a consultation to get tear-trough filler. Experts had told me for years that the injectable procedure was the only way to really combat chronic dark circles (mine are genetic, so sadly can’t be rectified by getting more sleep or keeping hydrated). But as I read more first-hand experiences with tear-trough filler and the doctor explained to me what it entails, I wussed out.…

January 05, 2022 at 06:04AM I’m one of those summer people who prefer winter clothes. Let me explain: While I love the feeling of the sun on my skin, barbecues and longer days that the warmer months bring, I get the most joy from autumn/winter outfits. Playing around with layers, embracing cosy knits and picking The One when it comes to a winter coat are all part of the fun. But I sometimes (read: always) choose to take the easy option when it comes to getting dressed for cold-weather days, and this begins with affordable wardrobe basics.While I still look to my classic capsule wardrobe pieces—the white shirt, oversized blazer and good-quality T-shirt, to name a few—my winter basics are all about being comfy and cosy, but this doesn’t mean boring. There’s no rule that basics have to be neutral or that they can’t have…
