January 06, 2022 at 06:30AM Here at Who What Wear, we’re all for embracing our skin’s natural ageing process. Every fine line should, in truth, be considered an achievement. At the same time, however, we’re fervently of the belief that every individual has the right to take indisputable ownership of their own feelings towards their complexion, which is why we don’t feel crazy about the term anti-ageing.Let me use my own skin-ageing journey to explain. As a beauty editor, I have access to all of the very best “anti-ageing” products around. And yet, when the fine lines on my forehead started becoming more prominent at age 27, I decided to seek professional advice and get Botox. For years, I have considered myself fundamentally against the term “anti-ageing” because I don’t believe that we should feel obliged or encouraged to reverse the natural proceedings…

January 06, 2022 at 06:30AM We’ve already talked about the prevalence of beloved notes like rose and vanilla in what feels like the majority of our favourite perfumes, and cosy sandalwood is another unanimous favourite. It manages to feel warm and woody, but it also possesses a creamy richness, which makes it the perfect base note for a wide range of fragrances—not just the sweet, spicy or musky types you might initially assume. Whether you’re already a fiend for sandalwood like us or are new to or unsure of the popular note, we’re going to go ahead and say adding a sandalwood perfume to your winter fragrance wardrobe is one of the best moves you can make this season (especially in the “you smell so good" compliment department). Thanks to its surprising versatility, we’re of the strong belief that the perfect warm and inviting sandalwood perfume exists for anyone who loves…

January 06, 2022 at 06:15AM Balancing form and function over the winter months can be tricky to navigate for fashion lovers, especially when the weather switches from gentle autumnal breezes to harsh Arctic tundra. When temperatures drop below 10°C, you know it’s time to bring out the big guns and get a little smarter with your layering. Over the years, we’ve accumulated a few different dressing hacks for staying warm in style. The one that trumps all others? Lined winter boots.Edinburgh-based contributor Maxine Eggenberger swears by a shearling lining for keeping toasty in the chilly northern hemisphere. “I stumbled on this cold-weather trick by accident. I’d had my eye on a pair of boots for months, but when they eventually went into the sale, the only pair in stock was a size up from the one I’d usually buy,” Maxine explains. “I ordered them anyway, and when I proceeded to…

January 06, 2022 at 06:03AM Critics will say that a lot of fashion comes down to reinventing the wheel—that it’s hard to come up with a previously unexplored idea. This, I’ll admit, is true. If there’s anything I’ve learnt in my 11 years as an editor, it’s that fashion is cyclical, and what goes around will eventually come back around. What you can’t predict, however, is how the designers will interpret it when it does make its way on to the style agenda once more.Today, we’re here to talk about the spring/summer 2022 print trends that are already shaping the season ahead. I’ll tell you now these are prints you’ll have seen before. Heck, these are prints that you might find lurking in the depths of your wardrobe. But showcased on the runway in some pretty unexpected ways, suddenly, they feel fresh again.As we hurtle…

January 06, 2022 at 06:02AM It might be chilly and dark in the morning, but we find ourselves less enamoured with the thought of wearing sweatpants and hoodies—at least, not on a daily basis. So in an attempt to reignite our fashion fires, we’ve started thinking up all the ways we can start making our outfits feel more on-trend and spring-like and, in turn, more joyful. Of course, there’s our big shakedown of spring/summer 2022’s trends you can mull over for high-fashion inspiration, but we’re aware that, before such advanced outfit stages, a few practical, minor tweaks can be made so you feel up to speed. From the achievable level of leg exposure (we don’t think anyone is ready for full thigh in this weather just yet—props to you if that’s the case) to the simple coat switch you can employ for instant warmer-weather power, we’ve…

January 06, 2022 at 06:01AM Apparently, we’re not the only ones scouring every last page of Mango’s sale. Katie Holmes, who is frequently spotted wearing covetable pieces from the Spanish fashion brand, appears to likewise be knee-deep in the sale. How do we know? The Dawson’s Creek alum was just spotted in New York City wearing a stunning, knee-length coat that just so happens to be included in it. Even better, it's somehow still in stock in selected sizes. Along with a sage-green Chanel crossbody bag and a pair of white-and-blue 327 trainers from New Balance’s ultra-popular collaboration with Staud, Holmes bundled up in an oversize, hunter-green coat, currently priced at just under £90 from £150. Though still available, sizes are selling out like crazy, with only a few left. But that’s no reason to fret. Keep scrolling for more green winter coats that are without a doubt…

January 06, 2022 at 06:00AM Listen up, everyone. I’ve found the perfect bag. Not only is it ideal for daily life⁠—it fits your wallet, a mask, hand sanitiser and even a bit of makeup⁠—but it’s also great for evenings out. Don’t believe me? Well, the good news is I’ve collected the evidence to prove how versatile and chic this bag actually is. But first, let me give you the details. It’s a black leather crescent-shaped handbag with a thick strap. It’s smooth and pretty featureless, other than a couple of silver belt studs and a well-hidden zip. There’s no denying that it bears more than a resemblance to The Row’s Banana Bag, but it comes at a much more affordable price point. So far, I’ve spotted minimalist queens Marisa Martins and Alexis Foreman wearing this bag. Foreman opted for a tee-and-skirt look with hers, while Martins went for…
