I’m Totally Uninspired by Makeup in Winter, But These 8 Looks Are Just Too Good

January 02, 2022 at 08:00AM I’m not sure about you, but when winter comes knocking I get lazy with my makeup routine. The minute temperatures hit single figures, any motivation I once had to sit in front of the mirror first thing and apply a full-face is totally diminished. If you’re asking me, it doesn’t matter how good the season’s trends are, I’d much prefer to spend an extra 10 minutes in bed rather than get up early on a dark winter’s morning to spend more time on my makeup.I know this makes me lazy (and a bad beauty editor to boot), but it’s the truth. This year, however, I’m feeling a little differently. You see, the events of last winter meant that my seasonal loathing for doing my makeup was defunct. Having no reason to need to apply my oodles of makeup (because…

I’ve Been a Stylist for 24 Years—This Is the One “Forever Trend” I Stand Behind

January 02, 2022 at 08:00AM Discovering and fine-tuning your personal style is a journey. For Roz Kaur, the process is near to her heart given her adoration for fashion as a way to express herself. She’s been experimenting with style for a long time—especially with her work as a stylist over the last 24 years. While she continues to uncover new inspiration to shape her style, she now has a defined aesthetic. On that note, there’s one trend that’s stuck with her over these years that’s signature to her: the tailoring trend. In fact, she basically considers it a “forever trend” because it’s one she’ll always stand behind thanks to the timeless nature.“I don’t believe in menswear or womenswear,” she said. “I wear what I like, and below is how I make these beautiful, functional, and adaptable pieces my own.” If you keep scrolling, you’ll see the tailoring…

The Naked Dress Trend Is Now So Naked That It’s Barely There at All

January 02, 2022 at 08:00AM The naked-dress trend is back, people, and it’s more naked than ever. While this look doesn’t ever seem to fade away, it’s definitely packing quite the punch for 2021. We’ve seen various iterations of the trend over the years, but right now, it seems to fit in one of two different camps: a skin-colour body-con dress or a barely-there dress that’s transparent or sheer or has a strategically placed piece of material (or even a combination of all three). Cher wearing a dress by designer Bob Mackie at the Met Gala in 1974. The naked dress has a long history, of course. Those who are big Cher fans (and who isn’t?) will recall the star’s dedication to creations by designer Bob Mackie, who regularly designed risquĂ© items for the singer. Before that, however, there was Marilyn Monroe’s infamous sheer dress she…

30 Cheerful January Buys From H&M, & Other Stories and Arket

January 02, 2022 at 06:00AM January is a notoriously tough month to get through for many reasons. After the recent festivities and busy party season it can feel a little deflating not having such a social schedule, nor the money left to capitalise on your free time. Not to mention the weather which in December feels frosty and festive, but in January just seems plain old grey and cold. It’s totally understandable to need a little pick-me-up, and nothing works better for it than a little retail therapy (we say this from experience). If you’re on a budget post-Christmas, that’s all the more excuse to turn to the affordable high street. You can scour the sales too (in which case do check out our round up of the best deals on offer here), but if you’re a little tired of seeing the same styles…

What to Wear in January When You’re Completely Bored of Your Wardrobe

January 02, 2022 at 05:03AM Deciding what to wear in January can be a tricky one. It’s still freezing so you need to stay warm and cosy, but it’s also a fresh start. We’ve all likely made a resolution of some kind and have our eyes firmly fixed on moving forward, so it’s understandable if stepping back into 2021’s wardrobe feels a little, well, stale.Luckily, there’s a solution—and it’s not throwing everything away! Naturally, a little wardrobe detox is a great idea at this time of year, but budgets are also tight post-Christmas.

7 Wedding Guest Outfits We Love for 2022

January 02, 2022 at 05:00AM After so many weddings and celebrations were delayed or altered over the last few years thanks to the pandemic, things are hopefully looking up for 2022. Normal wedding programming has resumed and we can finally get back to celebrating our friends and family in style— which is great news, especially if you’re one of the couples planning your big day. If you’re anything like most of us on the Who What Wear team, the delays have also meant our 2022 calendars are already looking pretty packed; thanks to the backlog of postponements as well as all the new engagements that have happened since. The fun times will, of course, be worth it, but the stress of planning so many different outfits for all the occasions is real. So we thought we’d help the best way we know how— by getting…
