December 22, 2021 at 08:00AM While social media can be a hub for all things fashion and beauty, skincare is a topic that can get a little tricky, especially when certain products start to trend. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been guilty of succumbing to a viral product only to be disappointed when it didn’t exactly work for my skin. While following trends for clothes and makeup can be an easier feat, with skincare, it’s crucial to be cautious because what works for others may not work for you, and some products may seem like they’re working but can actually cause damage and irritation later on. It’s important to pay close attention to the ingredients before purchasing a product and to consult an expert if possible, especially if you’re facing specific skin concerns. Since I’ve been seeing quite a few products circulate around social media that have…

December 22, 2021 at 08:00AM In recent years, it was typical to see leggings paired with sneakers or a pair of slide sandals from time to time, but that’s about it. This winter, celebrities have been wearing them outside of the gym a lot more than usual, even dressing them up with chic outerwear and jewellery. And the particular shoe style that’s most often worn with jeans this time of year? Ankle boots.Yes, you read correctly—leather ankle boots (and not just Uggs) have made their way back into celebrities’ legging outfits, many of which have heels. We’ll admit that they look very, very chic. Take Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, for example, in her long vest, athletic leggings, and black suede ankle boots. Want to see more proof? Scroll for the celeb-approved legging-and–ankle-boot outfits that may encourage you to follow suit (and shop stylish leggings and ankle boots, of course).On Jennifer…

December 22, 2021 at 08:00AM I don’t know about you, but the past year has felt long. I’ve got more grey hair and more wrinkles, and despite going to bed earlier, I’m still tired. There’s no denying that I’ve felt like I’ve aged faster in lockdown. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with this (I have no issues with changing hair colour or a few lines on my face), the speed at which it has happened has been a little disconcerting. I want to feel like myself again, and for me, that means getting a haircut. Over the past few months, I’ve lost count of the number of people who have said their hair needs cutting, from my husband to my colleagues as well as my parents. The craving to get a chop has been strong. Personally, I’m desperate to get my hair cut back into a…

December 22, 2021 at 06:13AM From Kaia Gerber and Alexa Chung to Zoë Kravitz and Rosie HW, the celeb crowd have been knocking it out of the park with their enviable winter outfit formulas as of late.

December 22, 2021 at 06:09AM Do you like your dresses big, your accessories minimal and your colour palette offbeat? Then you’re probably a COS girl like quite a few of our fashion friends in the industry. It’s where you can pick up directional, simplistic designs that you’d normally find at much higher price points or from very niche Scandi labels. The fabrics are always top-quality, and we still own COS items from the very first season when the brand debuted in the UK. Yep—its wares have stood the test of time and still look mint today.Our love is a forever one, clearly. With an aesthetic of smock dresses, sensible shoes and neutral hues coming through right now, it’s no surprise that a few more brands of a similar ilk are surfacing. We looked to the minimalist experts we follow on Instagram (like Marisa…

December 22, 2021 at 06:07AM You only need to have a quick scan of a tube platform or any shopping centre to see that midi dresses have become an easy uniform for British women. They are a reliable outfit in one and make you feel polished, even on those mornings when you only have five minutes to get ready. In winter, they can be a little trickier to style, however, because you have to think about the length of your coat, whether it goes with a couple of layers of knitwear and what boots you can wear with said dress.There are five dress trends this winter that make all these styling questions a little easier, and you’re going to see a lot of this month and beyond. If comfort is what you are into, then look no further than the jumper dress, which…

December 22, 2021 at 06:03AM I am a huge daydreamer. People often catch me staring into space and wonder where I’ve gone off to. Well, lately, it’s been a taxi ride to the airport to catch the next flight to Paris. Something about that magical city has a hold on me: The architecture, the boulangeries, and, most importantly, the effortless look that the women there have. It feels like the perfect place to get lost and rediscover both yourself and your sense of style.It’s been a few years since my last trip to the fashion capital, so I’ve been saving all of the inspiration that I can from the girls who have taken snaps of my favourite Parisienne outfits. Curiosity got the best of me, as always, so I decided to bring Paris straight to your web browser to get the inspo and insights that come with a trip to France without having…

December 22, 2021 at 06:01AM Try as we may, right now, all we can seem to think about is 2022 and the new trends that come with it. If you’re a loyal Who What Wear reader, as I suspect you might be, you’ll have already devoured our spring/summer 2022 trend report, outlining every notable look, garment, and accessory we saw during September’s Fashion Month showcase. If this, however, is not the case, I suggest you take a look at it and meet me back here once you’re up to speed.Okay, now that you know precisely what the new collections look like, let’s talk about how to channel them in real life. We know the runways present an exaggerated interpretation of the trends. Still, I’m always interested in seeing how I can realistically add them to my wardrobe and work them into my daily outfits—this…

December 22, 2021 at 06:00AM There are certain beauty rules that experts and editors just love to enforce. Whether it’s not using heat protection before you straighten your hair or occasionally drifting off without removing your makeup, everyone is guilty of committing a beauty sin from time to time, right? However, it can often feel as though, should anyone break such rules, there is very little room for redemption. And I must admit, this is something I feel a little uneasy about. You see, beauty aficionados on Instagram are keen to highlight our wrongdoings. In fact, many would have you believe that the very act of using micellar water without washing it off or (God forbid) not cleaning your makeup brushes every week is up there with some of the worst crimes.For many years, I resented this approach to educating the masses on the importance of a great beauty…

December 22, 2021 at 06:00AM Whether you’re looking for a perfect festive look, sturdy leather boot or colourful cashmere knit, Karen Millen has you covered this winter season. Known for its polished approach to wardrobe staples, this high-street hero has long known how to deliver pieces that you actually want to wear, whatever the occasion. We can confirm that this season is no different. Online shopping can be overwhelming at the best of times, so we decided to do a deep-dive into Karen Millen’s winter collection and compile the best bits in one concise edit. At the top of our wishlist is the brand’s immaculate velvet blazer, which will look just as good with jeans and flats as it does with matching tuxedo trousers and heels. We’ve also got our eye on the yolked shirt which, with its unusual edging, looks far beyond its two-figure price tag. The brand has also just launched it’s…
