December 14, 2021 at 06:00AM Welcome to the latest, highly exciting installment of Who What Wear UK’sBest Wardrobes in Britain. It’s where we do exactly what it says on the tin: delve into the most fantastical, awe-inspiring and downright influential wardrobes. We’re honing in on the women who cause the street style photographers to press their shutters as well as the characters you don’t yet know—the ones who fly under the radar with secretly incredible clothing collections.Everyone we photograph for our Best Wardrobes in Britain series loves clothes, but Candice Brathwaite LOVES clothes. Her walk-in wardrobe is more than just a storage space, as she says this is where she goes when she needs some time to herself. She visibly lights up when she talks about fashion and the way that clothes now make her feel. ‘When I was pregnant and after having kids…

December 14, 2021 at 06:00AM There’s a saddening sort of déjà vu around the social-distancing hokey-cokey that we’re experiencing this December, but if you’re like me, then no matter what the rest of the festive season looks like, you'll be taking any opportunity to don your glad rags. Only this weekend, I had a few friends round for dinner, and I relished the chance to slip on my new heels with a party top and jeans. I’ve also started looking ahead to New Year’s Eve and planning how many sequinned items I can get away with in one outfit. (Answer: The limit does not exist.) So whether you’re heading out for Christmas cocktails or making the best of Zoom work drinks, I’ve found party pieces to sate your appetite. After a brief survey of the editorial team, I surmised that Marks and Spencer, H&M and Mango are the three high-street stores that are particularly acing…

December 14, 2021 at 06:00AM While we will always make time for extroverted outerwear and statement-making accessories, when it comes to basics, less is often more. Just think of base layers like leggings, underwear and hoodies: More often than not, you just want these items to do their jobs with minimal fuss. Of course, we still want a nod to good design, but it has to be paired with functionality. Gilly Hicks is totally on-point in this regard, delivering hard-working staples season after season in versatile silhouettes and appealing colourways.Perhaps some of you are working at home, or maybe you’re simply looking forward to living in elasticated trousers from the evening of 24 December onwards. Essentially, we all need some comfort in our lives this time of year, so we’ve rounded up the Gilly Hicks basics that we think might just fulfill those…

December 14, 2021 at 05:56AM Any outfit that takes less than 30 seconds to style is a total miracle in our book. Last year, it was all about the chunky-boots-and-jeans aesthetic, which, when worn with a shacket, became the fail-safe outfit option for winter walks and outdoor socialising. This year, however, there’s a new ensemble proving a hit amongst those in the know, one that’s just as easy to re-create.A couple of weeks ago, our editors came together to share their favourite winter outfits. That was when we realised many of us were wearing the same look on repeat. Although all of our colleagues have their own unique sense of style and tend to gravitate towards different things, we agreed that slip skirts and jumpers are where it’s at right now. Offering just the right amount of polish (via the slip’s satin fabric) alongside a…

December 14, 2021 at 05:41AM Kate Middleton’s sister Pippa never needed an introduction again after that bridesmaid dress, but now there’s yet another chic member of the family to keep an eye on. In September, Alizee Thevenet married Kate and Pippa’s brother, James Middleton, and she has a cool, relaxed kind of style that I think you’ll love. Thevenet is French, works as a finance director in London, and from the looks of her Instagram, happily co-parents James’s five dogs. How cute are they? Thevenet and Middleton recently attended a carol service at Westminster Abbey hosted by the Duchess of Cambridge. For the royal affair, Thevenet stayed true to her French roots and wore a suit by Sèzane, an affordable Paris-based brand. The label has long been my favorite for under-£200 pieces with Parisian flair, including striped tops and plaid blazers. Scroll down to see how she…
