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…

December 22, 2021 at 06:00AM Until maybe two years ago, no matter what I used to curl or wave my hair, I could not get the style to stick around for longer than a couple of hours. It was such an issue, and no matter if my hair was relaxed, natural and pressed, or in a weave, the wave would always drop. Before heading to my party or event, I would spray on a ridiculous amount of lacquer until my strands were crisp tendrils, and then at least the style would hold, but my hair would look and feel so dry. I know it’s a problem a lot of my friends, no matter their hair texture, face too. How do you actually make waves last?It wasn’t until maybe my third year covering hair at fashion weeks and working with salons and stylists every single…

December 22, 2021 at 06:00AM It was a single coat by Swedish fashion label Rave Review that first caught the attention of the Who What Wear editors back in 2019. Coming in a traditional plaid check in rich autumnal hues of red, yellow and green, we were struck by its originality that somehow felt both nostalgic and innovative—and that was before we knew it had been made out of old blankets. We couldn’t quite believe that anything that chic could have been upcycled. Oh how wrong we were.Founded by Josephine Bergqvist and Livia Schück in 2016, Rave Review made its debut at Paris Fashion Week in Spring 2018. It quickly won-over the fashion elite with its bold patchworked designs and radical production methods that saw pieces crafted out of deadstock fabrics (including bed sheets, blankets and scarves) and second-hand clothes. While the brand’s plaid blanket coats have become a signature, each collection is eclectic is its…
