December 11, 2021 at 07:00AM Over the years, the fashion industry has sometimes had a bit of an anti-tights stance. You often see articles debating how long one can feasibly leave it before having to dredge out the denier 40s as if it’s some sort of anti-fashion faux pas. In reality, most people I know (myself included) jump at the chance to say goodbye to bare legs and fake tan the moment the mercury drops below 10ºC, and even more so when party season hits. Thankfully, there’s a long list of fashion lovers who make a very good case for the elevating powers of party tights (Alexa Chung probably being the OG tights queen). Whether it’s polka dots, sparkly finishes or classic fishnets, there are more than enough to choose from. My personal revelation was realising that party tights look their best in a lower denier, such as 15…

December 11, 2021 at 06:30AM With track-sole boots becoming virtually ubiquitous last winter, it was only a matter of time before the chunky-sole trend infiltrated other types of footwear. That’s why it hardly came as a surprise this year when we started seeing statement loafers launch across luxury and high-street brands. When it comes to designer brands, Prada has been one of the labels at the forefront of this trend. The Italian fashion house launched logo-embellished chunky loafers earlier last year, garnering the attention of models and influencers including Elsa Hosk, Pernille Teisbæk and more. (The coveted style has since sold out across multiple platforms.) Understandably, several other brands have also embraced the trend, with Proenza Schouler adding its signature contrast stitching to a pair of platform leather loafers, and Dr. Martens collaborating with Comme des Garçons on its own version of the shoe. Worn alongside jeans and knits or pleated skirts and sweatshirts, the footwear trend has an…

December 11, 2021 at 06:30AM It’s no secret that, here at Who What Wear, we’re big fans of Glossier. Big. Huge. Everything from the pink packaging to the lazy-girl makeup formulas and the tip-top skincare makes us go a little weak at the knees. And while for a few years now we have been able to shop our favourite Glossier products online, UK shores have had to go without a store.Although a beauty brand not having a store isn’t uncommon in 2021, it has long been a sore spot amongst British Glossier fans. The reason being that Glossier’s U.S. stores are nothing short of beauty paradises. Less of a beauty store and more of a beauty destination, the Glossier retail experience not only is beautiful (and perfectly Instagrammable) but also helps to put the fun back into shopping for beauty, with products as far as the eye can…

December 11, 2021 at 06:10AM I have two goals right now: to be cosy and look chic in the process. However, these two things don’t typically go together. In fact, finding pieces that tick both of these vital boxes can be tricky, as, typically speaking, they’re not made with each factor being given the same amount of consideration. As such, I’ve been searching far and wide to find items of such ilk, not only to show you but also to populate my own wardrobe with. In doing so, I found there were three brands in particular that I kept coming back to: COS, Arket and Massimo Dutti.Div Ravindran carries a COS clutch.Although they all have different aesthetics from one another, it’s clear that Massimo Dutti, COS, and Arket have, respectively, gone to great lengths to curate winter wardrobe staples that are elevated and cool and will keep you…

December 11, 2021 at 06:06AM I may have been born at the tail end of the ‘80s, but I still consider myself to be a '90s child. I wore floral leggings with oversize T-shirts, tied my hair with a rainbow of scrunchies, and donned my light-up trainers with pride. Of course, perhaps with the exception of the scrunchie, I would never wear such items now, but it seems there are a plethora of cool '90s trends I missed out on because of my age. And the most notable has to be the leather blazer.Practically the uniform of the '90s A-list elite—think Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston and Cindy Crawford—the leather blazer was easily the coolest cover-up of the decade. Most commonly worn with slip dresses, vintage denim, or a pair of tiny rectangle sunglasses, it now appears the throw-on is making a comeback and…

December 11, 2021 at 06:05AM Keeping up with the latest trends is a full-time job (we know—we do it), and sometimes it can be overwhelming deciphering which ones to actually try out. This year, everyone has fully embraced trying out new looks. We’ve seen G-string dresses, straps thinner than dental floss and the return of low-rise jeans. And some of these trends are ones no one actually asked for (we’re looking at you, low-rise jeans), but of course, fashion people have tried them nonetheless. As we look to 2022, though, we’re thinking of the items that actually deserve a place in our wardrobes for the long haul. Sure, it’s great to try out microtrends, but we’re turning our attention to timeless, classic pieces. So much so the Who What Wear fashion team has thought long and hard about the trends they’ll be leaving behind and the…
