December 29, 2021 at 06:00AM I’ve written at length about how much I love scent layering. I love to start my scent journey in the shower, using body cleansers that give a delicate perfumed base before moving on to body creams to solidify my chosen notes—cedarwood, vetiver and figgy scents are mostly my vibe—then finishing off with a few sprays for my perfume. This has worked for me over the years, and I can trust that my scent will carry throughout the majority of the day. However, as someone who has an obsession with the beauty benefits of oils, I knew it was only a matter of time before I delved into the world of perfumed oils, and it has honestly changed my scent longevity.There are a lot different types of perfume oils to pick from, and all of them have their benefits. Rollerballs are…

December 29, 2021 at 06:00AM Ever stood in front of your wardrobe staring blankly at it, waiting for inspiration? Me too, and I’m a stylist. You’d think putting outfits together would always come easily to me since it’s my job, but the truth is we can all feel a little uninspired by our own closets sometimes. That’s why every so often I like to look to the coolest girls I know for some much-needed styling ideas, and compile a handy catalogue of easy looks I love that are super simple to recreate, even when you’re running late in the mornings.And truly, there’s no better time to do this than at the beginning of the new year when we can all be left a little glum. As we launch into 2022 and look ahead to spring, it can help us relish in our wardrobes again,…

December 29, 2021 at 06:00AM Where would we be without great shoes, hey? Would Carrie even be Carrie? I guess we survived the last few years in basically just slippers and trainers— but if anything that has only increased our appreciation of a fabulous shoe. And from the looks of the 2022 collections, we’re not alone. For a while fashion embraced the lower-key way of life, even when we were (relatively) back to normal it was comfortable chunky boots or the latest New Balances only. Luckily, it seems that enough time has gone by for us to come out the other side of this footwear malaise— restrictions or no restrictions.For SS22, footwear has gone way past comfort and into full on shoes for shoes sake territory. We’re talking bows, points, prints, crystals and platforms. What’s that saying— the higher the heel, the closer to heaven?…

December 29, 2021 at 06:00AM It must be nice to have a fashion editor as a friend. We’re basically walking encyclopedias of the fashion world, after all. Not to blow our own trumpets or anything, but it’s just an occupational hazard that comes after years spent analysing and cataloguing the markets. Our skills come in especially handy when our friends and family come to us with questions about where they can find the best [insert wardrobe essential here]. One of the most common questions we get asked (and often ask ourselves) is where to find a good handbag—no, a great handbag—that feels luxurious and makes all your outfits look extremely expensive for a price that doesn’t completely empty your savings account. Of course, there are high-street options (& Other Stories, COS and Sezane do great affordable leather options), and we could talk for hours about the best high-end designer bags…

December 29, 2021 at 06:00AM You know what they say: couples that dress well together, stay together— right? Well, it’s certainly working out OK for these stylish partnerships. Regular readers will know we love to crush on a celebrity with great style here at Who What Wear, whether that’s an icon like J.Lo, or a more unexpected muse like Katie Holmes or Dakota Johnson. So when we find a celeb couple who enjoy showing off their sartorial skills together, we can hardly contain ourselves. Luckily 2021 has been kind to us in that department, offering up some brand new well-dressed couples (hello Zoe & Channing!), plenty of fresh photo ops from some of our favourite long-term pairs (thank you, Met Gala!) and, of course, the return of the OG celebrity couple: Jen & Ben. We are not worthy. So, let’s get to the good bit.…

December 29, 2021 at 06:00AM I cannot tell you the last time that my hair was at the forefront of my mind. Previously, “How should I wear my hair?” was the biggest question of my beauty routine, and now I feel like it’s fallen right to the bottom of my getting-dressed list.The thing is, while I want my hair to look like I’ve invested ample time in styling it, I don’t always have the minutes to spare. But my hair says so much about my current mood and the way that I want to present myself that I don’t want my two-minute style to scream “I really don’t care about my hair"—even if I did basically show my strands no love that morning.Luckily, via my ever-patient hairdresser, I sussed out a cut that is so low-maintenance that even when the biggest effort I make is running a brush through…

December 29, 2021 at 04:20AM If there’s one brand that has been inescapable over the past few years, it's Gucci. Since 2015, under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele, the brand has become one of the hottest fashion houses around. Thanks to Alessandro’s exciting and fresh vision, countless other designers and high-street brands have followed the “edgy grandma from the ‘70s” trend. But the real secret of the fashion house’s success lies in its accessibility. While some opt to wear the brand sunglasses to platforms, others dip a toe in with a bag or a pair of shoes. But one of the easiest ways to get the Gucci look? The now-iconic double-G belt.It has a cool but goes-with-everything-in-your-wardrobe appeal that makes it a must for both diehard fashion lovers and your mum. To keep it interesting, the brand has reimagined the GG belts in different ways—from the classic black, brown and white…

December 29, 2021 at 04:01AM When it comes to my hair, I tend to fluctuate between two lengths: just above my shoulder or just above my boobs (both technical terms). Yet there always comes a time with both lengths when I start to feel like I want to either chop it all off and start again or indulge my inner Rapunzel and grow it out super long.Right about now, I’m at the “chopping it all off” stage, mainly down to the fact that I’m seeing cool, short hairstyles pretty much everywhere I look and the fact that I can’t get a haircut right now. Yes, short hair is definitely trending, and I want in. However, before I sprint to the salon, I think it’s best I start to garner some expert advice on potential styles.“Short hairstyles are on-trend at the moment,” confirmed Neil Barton, Goldwell ambassador…
