December 06, 2021 at 06:00AM Approximately 10 minutes after it was announced about the lockdown back in November 2020, I started a hunt for a coat that could actually double as a duvet. If my life was going to be al fresco, I wanted to be cocooned in as much padding as possible. After a week of searching, I settled on an oversized puffer from Arket, which is made from recycled down and is quite possibly the warmest thing I’ve ever put on my body, and I have a feeling it will remain a staple for winter 2021. In my research, I looked at every puffer coat on the internet, so I thought I’d share with you my rather extensive shortlist of coats, many of which are back in stock this season. If you have a higher budget, Moncler, Max Mara and Prada are the clear front runners, and unsurprisingly, I’ve found that Scandi brands really…

December 06, 2021 at 04:17AM There’s a big debate about how to wear slouchy jeans—yes, the relaxed style that dominated your teenage wares—and it goes very much like this: Should you wear heels or flats? And as for tops? Some argue that to counteract the looser fit, you should opt for something more fitted to elevate the denim to a more sophisticated look. Others say that you should embrace the slouchy style and choose a chunky knit and trainers.Much like skinny jeans, we imagine that a pair of slouchy blues are lurking in your wardrobe. But thanks to other styles getting more attention (straight legs or cropped flares, for example), perhaps they haven’t been your go-to for some time. But when you look at some recent street style pictures, we’ve noticed other fashion types haven’t been so quick to forget about them, and perhaps it’s high…

December 05, 2021 at 09:04AM Readers of Who What Wear will be familiar with our We Try Before You Buy franchise, where the team tries on new items to help you decide what is really worth investing in. This involves trying samples and borrowing things from brands for the day, however this story is a little different this time. Instead of trying anything new or borrowed, we are all wearing pieces we actually own and many are items that we’ve loved for years and years.The word ‘affordable’ is often overused by fashion editors, but is a tricky and complicated term as what is considered affordable can vary hugely. This is something we are all too aware of. Below our editors have shared the one outfit that has proved to be amazing value for them, whether that’s because it’s comprised of amazing charity shop…

December 05, 2021 at 08:00AM Having a hairdresser for a mum has meant that I’ve done just about everything you can think of to my hair. I’ve been platinum blonde, mahogany brown and everything in-between. I’ve framed my face with feathering and had thick fringes cut in. I’ve had hair down to my waist and chopped to my chin. It’s fair to say I was pretty fearless with my hair. That is until I got older.I don’t know why, but for some reason, I’ve defaulted to long length hair in a creamy hue with lived-in roots. Now, though, after witnessing some impressive hair transformations on Instagram of late, I’m finally going to give my ‘do a refresh. And the look I’m toying with is a blunt bob.The blunt bob has undergone a bit of a resurgence as of late. A far cry from the dreaded bowl…

December 05, 2021 at 08:00AM Over the past year, we have experienced somewhat of a nail frenzy. While makeup and hair used to give us our aesthetic kicks on Instagram, in 2021, we noticed a dramatic shift in the sorts of things the beauty set were paying attention to. Nails used to be considered beauty’s annoying little cousin that no one really wanted to play with. Doing our nails was a chore and nail art was reserved exclusively for in-salon acrylics.Nowadays, however, nails are king. We spend hours scrolling through Instagram, saving down all of the cutest nail ideas that come our way so that we can show them to our nail techs. And while nail trends used to be limited to simple shades and finishes, thanks to the internet and calibre of artistry out there, what we’re now dealing with is forward-thinking, super-creative styles that…

December 05, 2021 at 08:00AM On paper, Emily Ratajkowski and I don’t exactly have much in common, but as the saying goes, you learn something new every day. Spoiler alert: That’s certainly the case today, as I’ve just discovered that EmRata is just as in love with the Zara boots I’ve been mulling over as I am. How do I know this? She just wore them out.  After a celebrity-sighting dry spell, the fact that we’re treated to A-list appearances on the regular again remains a thrill. Every morning, I start my day by scouting who was out and about and, indeed, what they were wearing. So you imagine my delight when I clocked Emily Ratajkowski on the streets of New York wearing an outfit that not only I immediately wanted to re-create in its entirety but also featured the very same pair of Zara…
