December 16, 2021 at 06:00AM Sometimes, when shopping the high-street, it can all too easy to get stuck in a rut of going to the same places again and again. This is why I like to mix it up every now and then and revisit stores that I haven’t frequented for a few seasons. For me this winter this manifested in a browse of Jigsaw, Whistles and Karen Millen’s new-in categories. Jigsaw in particular has taken-on a new style identity in recent years, still holding onto its timeless approach to design, but infusing pieces with a contemporary energy via bold prints and unusual silhouettes. Whistles’s current collection is jam-packed with elevated basics, that firmly fall under the ‘low-effort’ category, yet will add interest via a pointed collar or dramatically pleated fabric. I’m obsessed with the Nino chambray shirt, which would look achingly cool paired with the colour-match jeans, and the shearling collar…

December 16, 2021 at 06:04AM Our love of dresses is well documented. From the frocks that flatter every shape to the high street’s hottest styles, we probably dedicate more article space to them than anything else. Why? Because they make life (read: getting ready in the morning) so much easier—just pop one on and go. With the plummeting temperatures, we’re turning our attention to jumper dresses. Once upon a time, they were shapeless and scruffy-looking, but autumn/winter 2021 has seen the off-duty staple receive a serious gloss-over. So it’s not a case of should we be wearing them but how should we be wearing them now?From timeless hues to versions that make your summer staples last even longer, we’re taking cues from these seven impeccably turned-out women on how to style a jumper dress now. Keep scrolling, and you too will be tempted to join the jumper-dress club.Style Notes: Brown…

December 16, 2021 at 06:01AM We spend a lot of time talking about new brands, brands that are worth the investment and refreshed brands that haven’t gone unnoticed by style insiders. But in an attempt to keep you up to date with all the current happenings in the world of fashion, often, we don’t get round to shopping these labels ourselves. Doing what we do, we see a lot of product, so it takes something pretty special to warrant our spend. This, however, sparked an idea: Our team of editors could showcase the brands we made first-time purchases from in 2021 and are now faithful shoppers of. We're always curious to see what our colleagues have spent their money on, as we know it’ll be something they can and will vouch for, so extending our knowledge to you, team Who What Wearhas shared the brand they hadn’t shopped before 2021 but that they…

December 16, 2021 at 06:00AM Growing up, the bottles of body sprays, lotions, butters and eau de toilettes that lined my bathroom vanity were far sweeter than a desert-filled episode of The Great British Bake Off. My rotation typically included Britney Spears’s Fantasy (or Curious); a pure-sugar scent that, not surprisingly, was called Pink Sugar; and anything else my collection of glossy magazines was advertising. If it smelled like a frosted cupcake with sprinkles, I was—without a doubt—wearing it. I’ll always love unapologetically sweet scents, but now my tastes have graduated to fragrance blends that are warm and woody or grounded with spices, leathers or classic florals. That said, signature sweet notes like vanilla are often at the heart of my all-time-favourite perfumes. They’re just far less overpowering.Being a beauty editor and all, my desk is always overflowing with perfume, so I decided to start a little experiment late last year. Instead of sticking to…

December 16, 2021 at 06:00AM There are two things that make my heart skip a beat when it comes to new makeup: eye products and lip products. I don’t wear foundation every day and am pretty nonplussed about cheek products, but tell me about a new lipstick or eye shadow, and I’m all ears.Doing your eye makeup has such transformative power, and other than a bold lipstick, it’s definitely the thing that makes the biggest difference when it comes to amplifying an already-glowy makeup look. While a cream eye shadow is good for a quick simple look, there’s no doubt that the choice of multiple shades is the best for creating a variety of looks, from a deep, dark smoky eye to a fun, vibrant hit of colour. So it’s no surprise that I always have my eye out for popular eye shadow palettes.While…

December 16, 2021 at 04:34AM When we talk about classic jeans, blue pairs often spring to mind, but I think black jeans are just as timeless, even if they don’t receive the same airtime as their vintage-wash counterparts. I always feel more pulled together and polished in black jeans, which I’d argue also transition from day to night more seamlessly due to their darker base colour.Still, just like any outfit, black jean outfits can become repetitive if you let them. So in an attempt to stop them from becoming stale and tired, I’ve gone on the hunt for black jean outfits that are classic, chic, and won’t let you down no matter where you’re going. Handily, there was a plethora of stylish looks to choose from, and my favourites are showcased below.Whether you’re looking for new ways to freshen your style for autumn or simply want some insight into…

December 16, 2021 at 04:02AM It was when I was singing the praises of a certain £6 product that had converted me to eye creams that I took the time to actually look at my bathroom beauty stash properly. Upon doing so, I realised just how many other products from the same brand had a permanent home in my skincare rotation.As I’ve mentioned previously, The Ordinary is an affordable beauty brand offering up high-performance formulations with ingredients at its core. Ask any beauty or skincare fanatic about the brand, and chances are they’ll have a couple of products in their bathroom cabinets.Admittedly, if you aren’t already clued about the ingredients you should be putting on your face, The Ordinary can feel a little overwhelming at first. But with a little research into your skin concerns and needs, it’s a great affordable beauty brand to get on board with.For…
