December 31, 2021 at 08:00AM “Benjamin Buttoning.” Ageing backwards. Stopping time. If there’s one effect or buzzword that elicits the same visceral reaction from beauty editors, skincare experts, and customers alike, it’s anything with the term anti-ageing in it. The truth of the matter is this: There’s no miracle cream, gel, serum or treatment that has the power to actually reverse or halt the signs of ageing on the skin. (Sorry, it just doesn’t exist.) That said, there are a small number of products that come pretty close, and we’re about to share an edit of them below.Per a roster of celebrity makeup artists—Emily Cheng, Naoko Scintu and Emma White Turle—we’re uncovering a curated selection of the best anti-ageing moisturisers. The keyword here being curated because according to them, not every cream or moisturiser on the market works the same. Luckily, they find that the below six do wield high-performing effects…

December 31, 2021 at 08:00AM It takes a lot for us to raise an eyebrow, particularly at a celebrity outfit. Spotlighting trends is what we do best, and after years of perfecting our craft, we seldom find ourselves surprised at what people wear. But that’s precisely what happened when we spotted not one but two major fashion muses sporting a somewhat controversial ’90s accessory this winter. Of course, given the recent cold snap, we’re all looking for ways to toastify our outfits, and both Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowksi happened upon the same item. Feeling the chill over in NYC, in the space of one week, both Hadid and Ratajkowski stepped out in the very same oversized furry bucket hat. Admittedly, it took a minute for us to wrap our heads around this look, but once we did, we fell head over heels for the gloriously nostalgic turn their…

December 31, 2021 at 08:00AM The best thing about being a beauty editor is that I get the opportunity to speak with some of the world’s top beauty experts basically every single day. From celebrity makeup artists to Harley Street surgeons, I am forever picking the brains of experts in a bid to learn everything there is to know about beauty. And while picking up different makeup tips and tricks is wonderful, the one thing I am always most fascinated by is the sort of products skin experts swear by.There’s no doubt that shopping for skincare can be daunting and often frustrating, and not just because of the abundance of choice. All too often we are let down by miracle claims that don’t live up to their promises. And while most medical skin experts and dermatologists insist that if you have serious skin concerns, you should always seek…

December 31, 2021 at 06:05AM Not so long ago, the fashion world was buzzing about the concept of a capsule wardrobe—the kind of compact closet that only held the minimum number of pieces that matched each other with great ease and that allowed for much time saved in the mornings. Perhaps because the economic downturn hit at the same time that a furious decade of fast fashion was taking a toll on our closets, the capsule wardrobe appeared to be the solution to everyone’s fashion woes.Around that time in 2014, Caroline Rector, a Texan and fashion lover who’d had enough of the chaos, began to whittle down her closet to a mere 37 pieces, documenting the process on her brilliant website, Unfancy. And everyone paid attention to her method.Now that a few years have passed, we decided it was finally time to catch up with the capsule-wardrobe guru for a…

December 31, 2021 at 06:00AM Princess Diana’s style has remained one of the biggest influences in the fashion world over the past 30 years with a number of her outfits proving as iconic now as they were when she first wore them. Whether you realise it or not, so much of what we wear today is inspired by the royal’s fashion choices, from her cycling short gym looks to her effortless white shirts—all still visible on the catwalks of the last few years. Trust us, a quick Google search or scroll through the many Diana tribute Instagram accounts (we advise you follow them all) will provide all the new-season inspiration you need. Our favourite Diana looks, though, all have one thing in common: denim. These days you don’t often (or ever) see Kate, Meghan or *whispers* Camilla wearing blue jeans—  but somehow Diana always managed to pull…

December 31, 2021 at 06:00AM The love for dewy skin in beauty is nothing new, but as a perpetually shiny girl I promise you there is a huge difference between looking shiny and dewy, juicy skin. My T-zone, especially around my nose and chin, gets greasy really quickly so I always have to have a face powder in my bag (no matter how small) to mattify my skin. However, this doesn’t mean I like my skin to look super matte­– far from it, I love a healthy shine. So, it’s taken a while but I have finally found powders and a routine that takes down the shine in greasy areas while maintaining a glowy complexion.Firstly, I opt for a light to medium coverage foundation if I wear one at all, and get my coverage from concealer. This makes my face look fresh and not cakey as…

December 31, 2021 at 06:00AM If you’re a regular reader of Who What Wear, you’ll know we like to seriously consider the trends we buy into as editors. Because we see an awful lot come and go, it’s not unusual to see the office (or our Zoom meetings) filled with a team dressed purely in classic capsule basics. But we’re only human, and some trends are just too good to ignore. 2021 had its fair share of them— from cult dresses, to statement shoes and fun knits that excited us enough to invest. And we’re sure you felt the same way about them. The challenge is how to keep those pieces feeling fresh year after year. So we’ve done some thinking, alongside research into next year’s biggest trends, and come up with some easy ways to spin 9 of 2021’s most popular buys for the new…

December 31, 2021 at 06:00AM Us Brits have long relied on Marks & Spencer. Before online shopping was even a thing, it was there for us for everything from school supplies to underwear and, of course, the all important winter coats and boots. There may now be a plethora of places to turn to for your new season wardrobe, but M&S has remained one of our favourite high street go-tos, and for good reason. Not only do we rely on it for the essentials now, in recent years the brand has stepped up its fashion game and provided us with some seriously stylish additions that boast both quality and good-looks. As a team, we’re not embarrassed to say we have a passion for scrolling through the M&S website, or popping into our local store on our lunch break to browse the new-in sections. So…

December 31, 2021 at 06:00AM It can be all too easy to buy your holiday wardrobe in a last-minute panic. I’ve often been that person who buys a bikini on my lunch break mere hours before my flight. But I’ve learnt that in order to really feel confident on the beach, it’s best to avoid that rush and buy your holiday wardrobe as soon as the best new pieces to land in store. We may still be experiencing fluctuating travel restrictions but one things for certain, you will holiday again one day— whether that’s sooner or later— and it always pays to be prepared. To save you from a pre-flight impulse shopping spree, we turned to the coolest girls on Instagram who, let’s face it are always one step ahead of the trends, to bring you a guide to all the key sun-drenched items you’ll…

December 31, 2021 at 05:00AM Ahhh, that post-Christmas, pre-new year lull— you’ve probably watched most of Netflix by now, caught up with all your favourite Who What Wear articles and indulged in a little sale shopping— right? If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably also spent more time in pyjamas and loungewear than not over the past week or so and the idea of getting dressed again in real clothes has become a little daunting. So, while we all have time to take a little breather, we thought we’d use it to search for some fresh outfit inspiration for us all. Yes, we may still be in the depths of winter but we’re all a bit bored of cold-weather dressing now aren’t we? Our coat and knit collections have been updated, and as 2022 dawns it can’t hurt to look forward to the new season ahead. And…
