December 26, 2021 at 08:00PM Marks and Spencer is one of those high-street stores that is so good at delivering wardrobe heroes that look 10 times their actual price, whether it’s winter boots, midi dresses or classic knits. This season, however, it was a particular jacket that piqued my interest. Coming in a wool-mix fabric with a wintry plaid print and stylish fringing, this jacket had me hooked from the moment I saw it. I knew that I had to wear it for our winter-coats shoot.It’s not always a given that high-street coats will look as good IRL, but I’m happy to report that this jacket passed the test with flying colours. The fit is quite boxy, so I decided to cinch with a black belt. However, thanks to its light fabric, I think it would also look fab worn loose and layered under a roomier coat. For this reason, I would also…

December 26, 2021 at 10:27AM Zara is known for having two major sales: one in the summer months and that starts on Boxing Day. Naturally, we’re here to talk about the latter. Regardless of the brand or discounts, we always advise caution when it comes to shopping during markdowns, so you’ll find a few tips and tricks for shopping the Zara sale below. Firstly, have a look through your wardrobe and have a think about what you need and what works with your current pieces. Then, when browsing on the site, add pieces you love. But before you check out, it’s worth thinking about how much wear you’ll get out of them. A good rule is to know if you’ll wear it 30 times or more, which is a great way to ensure you’re shopping as mindfully and sustainably as you can. Who What Wear UK’s Editor…

December 26, 2021 at 08:00AM From bobs and lobs to braids and full fringes, there are so many amazing hairstyles out there that it can be hard to know where to start if you’re looking for a little pre-salon inspiration. So here’s my suggestion: the A-list. With access to top hairstylists and trending hair products, celebs are constantly stepping out in hairstyles that give me major strand envy. But by switching up their hair as often as we change our t-shirts, choosing a favourite style can lead to an inevitable fall down an Instagram rabbit hole.To make things easier for you, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite celebrity hairstyles ever—37 to be precise—to make your next trip to the hairdresser a little easier.Keep scrolling for the best celebrity hairstyles.Alexa's classic lob hairstyle is a trademark in its own right, and I’d hazard a guess that…

December 26, 2021 at 08:00AM My mum is no stranger to the Who What Wear scene. Of course, she’s a member of my family, so it’s a given that she has to put up with me talking about and testing beauty products 24/7, but since she has her own background and experience in beauty, trading secrets, application tips, and fave products with her is all the more fun. As I am a beauty editor, you’d think I’d be the one teaching her all of the things, but in reality, she’s taught me some of my most treasured beauty secrets and has turned me on to some of my most beloved products. (Plop her in a drugstore aisle, and she'll pull together an all-star ensemble of cheap makeup picks that will look so expensive on your face.)As someone who had years of experience in front of the…

December 26, 2021 at 08:00AM I wouldn’t say that Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez have similar personal styles. The latter’s tends to be much more bold and experimental. But here they are wearing identical outfit formulas in the same week in the same city. Who would have thought? They were both photographed in Los Angeles wearing black turtleneck sweaters, flared jeans and top-handle bags. Are you taking notes yet?Flared jeans happen to be one of my favourite denim trends right now—one that I’m willing to swap out my beloved skinny jeans for. In my opinion, they’re so much dressier than skinnies and help you look instantly polished. Scroll down to see how both well-dressed women style the same outfit combo and to shop similar pieces for yourself. On Jennifer Lopez: Hermès Birkin bagJen and Ben are still going strong. On Jennifer Aniston: Oliver Peoples Nisen Glasses (£297); Wolford turtleneck; Nili Lotan Oakland…

December 26, 2021 at 08:00AM The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in rainy Wolverhampton today for a series of engagements and proved, yet again, that denim is not the only way to pull together an easy, chic outfit. Wearing a look that was very reminiscent of a navy ensemble she chose on a royal tour last year (more on those looks below) she assembled a fitted coat over a polka-dot, contrast-collar blouse and with a trouser style that is fast becoming her signature: tailored flares.On Kate Middleton: Tory Burch Silk Satin Polka Dot Blouse; Jigsaw trousers. In a couple of styling moves that are now recognisably very HRH, Kate chose to go tonal (a move that makes any outfit simpler), to add in some classic pearl earrings and to ensure that her wide-leg trousers were (probably) tailored just so, in order to sit neatly above her…

December 26, 2021 at 08:00AM The moment I saw Who What Wear's Emma Spedding in Marks and Spencer’s cleated black boots, I knew that she had stumbled across a real high-street gem. Coming in this season’s trending chunky-sole-meets-knee-high silhouette, the boots give designer iterations a real run for their money. It was then that I started to spot similar styles across the board, but there were two other pairs, in particular, that caught my eye: one from Arket and the other from H&M. Spedding wearing Marks and Spencer Chunky Cleated Knee High Boots (£50).All coming in black and with comfy flat soles, they instantly sparked inspiration for my autumn outfits. While the style looks undeniably cool with Emma’s pink minidress, I can imagine all three looking so chic with black leggings and a belted oversized blazer. They would also pair nicely with a longer dress, perhaps in a knitted fabric. After all, this boot style is ideal…

December 26, 2021 at 08:00AM Why is it that we’re surprised by the arrival of winter every year? I mean, the sudden drop in temperature around November time is as predictable as Anna Wintour wearing sunglasses on the FROW, yet we exclaim at its coming all the same. If you’re like me, what typically ensues is a last-minute scrabble to find the winter coats that have lain dormant in your wardrobe for the last nine months and a hurried reacquainting with the art of layering. Well, as always, we’re here to give you a helping hand in the fashion department. Our first port of call? Winter basics.We all know that staples are an important part of a wardrobe, yet we find that during the colder months, having your foundations in place is more important than ever. It’s all about simple pairings: a chunky knit and straight-leg…

December 26, 2021 at 06:00AM Working at a fashion website has its benefits. We spend day in, day out inspecting the collections and trawling the internet for the items that are absolutely worth sharing with you. As you know, if you’re a regular reader, we try to cover a range across prices and brands—that might include picks from the high street we’ve seen our fellow fashion editors and influencers loving, investment buys that are truly worth your hard-earned cash or impressive lesser-known pieces from smaller independent brands we keep our eyes out for. The positive of this is we have a very good idea of what is going to work the hardest in a wardrobe. With budgets more considered and trends less predominant these days, finding those useful hero pieces is more important than ever. The collateral of this situation is that, as you can imagine, we end…

December 26, 2021 at 06:00AM Often, the “celebrities, they’re just like us” adage applies to what they wear, especially when it comes to shoes. They love a good pair of walkable, versatile shoes… just like the rest of us. And since winter has hit pretty hard, even the L.A.-based celebrities have been forced to ditch their Birkenstocks and other foot-exposing shoes in favour of more weather-appropriate ones. Translation: It's boot season.You may recall that all anyone wanted to wear last winter were track-sole Chelsea boots. This winter is similar but a little different. What we’re seeing celebrities embrace thus far is a little less specific: platform boots. Some have laces or zips, some have track soles, some have small platforms, and others have thick platforms. Whichever specifics they choose, it’s clear that they’re craving cool, comfortable boots that offer a little height. And honestly, same.Ahead, we’ve collected some examples…
