July 27, 2021 at 08:00AM In case you didn’t get the memo, when it comes to the latest hair trends, the shorter the cut the better. Lobs, bobs, and blunt cuts are seeing a lot of love lately, and many fashion influencers have been reaching for the scissors (or, you know, booking a hair appointment). For curly hair, the short-cut trend brings a lot of potential when it comes to revamping your style. A shorter length, cut above the chin, can give curly textures a lot of extra body and volume. The cut can be carefree and, if you fancy, give off “sexy bedhead” But as most curly-haired folks know, it can take some work to make your curls do as they’re told. Can short curly hair be low-maintenance? No matter your curl pattern, density, or face shape or whether you have loose waves or tight…

July 27, 2021 at 08:00AM When it comes to our body, time takes its toll on just about all of it. And although we know all too well what ageing does to our skin, when it comes to other areas of our beauty regimens, age is rarely factored in. From swapping in serums that tackle fine lines and wrinkles to acid treatments that work against age spots and pigmentation, products that cater to ageing skin seem to be everywhere. But what about our hair?It turns out that besides going grey, ageing can affect our hair in a number of ways. From thinning to dryness, the ways in which our hair deals with getting older means that as time goes by, we may need to change up our routine. And one of the most effective ways we can do that is by trying out…

July 27, 2021 at 08:00AM With the temperature gauge almost reaching 30°, we have finally found an excuse to unleash our summer dress collection. Whether you’re a clean-lined minimalist, a floral fanatic, a lover of boho ruffles or someone who craves a simple T-shirt dress, it’s fair to say that there’s plenty to choose from this season. Personally, I’ve been a big fan of the loose, smock-like styles that have proliferated over the last 12 months, as they both keep you cool and look the part with Birkenstocks or strappy heels.That being said, I have also appreciated the transformation of the mini this year, which has been offered up in unexpected fabrics and silhouettes. Think wrap styles in premium linen, pops of fuchsia and frill-neck collars. You also can’t scroll through the new-in sections without noting that cut-outs are a key theme for 2021, and they can be found on both ends of the…

July 27, 2021 at 08:00AM I’m a huge fan of ‘70s fashion—the era created a host of trends that still stand up today, whether you realise they’re from that time or not. Think of our current obsession with bright over-the-knee boots, folk-inspired printed dresses, velvet and corduroy, boho blouses, midi skirts and so on. While the '70s sweeps over the runways every couple of seasons, there’s always still a hint of it on the streets if you look closely.Think of the iconic designer names that were indelibly marked into history during this decade, like Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld and Diane von Furstenburg. It was also a period where mass-market, trend-driven fashion was also more readily available. Barbara Hulanicki’s Biba kick-started the idea in London a decade earlier, alongside boutiques like Bus Stop, and cool, connected girls were able to switch up their…

July 27, 2021 at 06:23AM Whether skinny jeans are currently the “trendiest” style on the market or not, we still can’t get seem to enough of them. Yes, yes, we’re totally down with the cooler fashion-girl favourites that are continuously emerging and the new jeans trends dominating the runway, too, but there’s no denying that it’ll be hard to completely break up with the slim-fit denim that’s paired so perfectly with everything in our wardrobes for so many years. After all, they’re the very jean style that gave us the jeans and a nice top outfit combination we so often rely on; it’d be rude not to give the skinny jean the credit and consideration it deserves. But let’s face it: The style does come with its fair share of problems. It can take years to find the ultimate pair that’s not too tight in the knees, doesn’t sag…

July 27, 2021 at 06:15AM Discovering your signature scent can be a long and arduous path, but its one which all beauty aficionados know is worth traversing. Fragrance has the power to unlock memories and define moments, so it certainly pays to find one that you love to wear. Still, the process can be off-putting to say the least.Seldom can you truly understand how a perfume is going to smell on your skin without having worn it for a prolonged period of time. This is why I always advise getting your hands on a tester if at all possible—they’ll allow you to try it at your leisure and in your everyday life, as opposed to that of a quick spritz on your arm in a store. However, I acknowledge that obtaining these testers isn’t always easy; especially if you don’t live near a stockist which…

July 27, 2021 at 06:07AM This summer has been about rediscovering the little joys—simple pleasures which we were denied last year. Dining out, catching up with friends with a glass in hand, arranging get-togethers with your nearest and dearest, and, of course, planning your outfits for such outings. And now, as our social calendars begin to come alive once more, we’re relishing in the latter; the pulling together of trousers and tops and choosing the perfect pair of sandals to wear with your favourite dress. It’s been blissful. Yet, while we’ve indeed fallen back in love with getting dressed, we could always use a healthy dose of style inspiration to help carry us through busy months of reuniting, celebrating, and travelling locally that lay ahead. That’s where Free People comes in. Of course, if you’re a regular Who What Wear UK reader, then you’ll already be familiar with Free…
