September 26, 2021 at 08:00AM When it comes to French style signifiers, there are some that immediately come to mind. Breton stripes is one, basket bags is another, and feline eyeliner flicks also have an undeniable je ne sais quoi about them. But when it comes to hair, there’s one style that feels more Gallic than the rest, and that’s long hair with fringe. Of course, the look isn’t just popular with the French, but there’s something about tumbling lengths offset with a sweeping fringe that feels very Parisian. Regardless of its origin, it’s a hairstyle that looks incredibly chic and is becoming increasingly popular in beauty circles. For those with long hair, going for the chop is the ultimate commitment. After all, it can take months, if not years, to grow your hair back out should a shorter style not be to your liking. Cue the fringe—a small tweak that can make all the difference in your look…

September 26, 2021 at 08:00AM Leggings are staples in many wardrobes given their versatile and comfortable nature. While some specific pairs are great for various workouts, the stretchy pants also work for those day-to-day looks when you’re out and about. Today, I thought I’d talk about the latter and showcase some of the chicest pieces to wear with leggings for autumn 2021.In reality, you could pair a smattering of items with leggings, but there are a few key pieces that I think will elevate your legging looks even more. I scrolled through Instagram to uncover the forward items some of my favorite fashion follows are styling with their leggings right now. There’s everything from a bold outerwear choice to a specific knitwear silhouette that’s quite polished.All of that shopping and styling inspiration is coming at you below.A white button-down shirt is timeless, and one in…

September 26, 2021 at 07:00AM Chemistry is everything when it comes to TV. It’s what makes us desperate for more installments of a really great show (and maybe even put down our smartphones to watch it). It’s arguably why Friends remains popular, why I still obsess over Pacey Witter and Joey Potter and why Line of Duty’s final episode was the most-watched episode of any drama since modern records began. These are big words, but I’d say Sex Education falls into this category. Season three’s episodes have all dropped on Netflix, and the internet is already fawning over it—and for good reason.The show’s premise might be based on Asa Butterfield’s Otis Milburn playing sex therapist to his peers, but it’s so much more than that. It turns the teen genre on its head, refusing to be so obvious as having the jocks versus the…

September 26, 2021 at 07:00AM When Emma Watson and Meghan Markle wore a pair of trainers by the conscious French brand Veja, it quickly became one of the most talked-about sneaker brands in the UK. The classic white basket sneaks (made from recycled plastic bottles and wild rubber) feature the distinctive V logo in varying colours on each side. But now that Kate Middleton has given her seal of approval, prepare for these sneakers to get even more popular. Kate Middleton wearing Veja trainers. Emma Watson first wore the trainers back in October 2016, but it wasn’t until 2018 when Meghan wore them that the seemingly simple lace-ups started gaining such widespread popularity. And no doubt with the Duchess of Cambridge wearing them in summer 2021, their popularity is set to continue. Much like other classic trainers (think Converse and Vans), these have rapidly become a staple…

September 26, 2021 at 06:05AM In Britain, we’re blessed with some of the best affordable fashion the world has to offer, culminating in our beloved high street. I’ve always been a frugal spender, and in my decade tenure as a style editor, I’ve become something of a high-street shopping expert. So when my colleagues asked me to share my favourite under-£100 products for the season ahead, I was more than up to the challenge.Abi Omole wears a gilet, bra top and trousers, all from H&M. I firmly believe you don’t need to part with serious cash to get your hands on something exceptional or to assemble a high-end look.

September 26, 2021 at 06:00AM The Second-Hand Shopperis a new franchise that sees Who What Wear’s shopping editor, Joy Montgomery, join forces with some of the industry’s coolest vintage brands to show you that second-hand does not have to mean second-best. This series will give you exclusive access to sellout second-hand drops, which will be hand-selected by our editor and styled to show how you can wear them for the season ahead. Prepare to get clicking because these pieces won’t stick around for long.There haven’t been many times in my life when I’ve been asked to wear a pair of white gloves to handle an inanimate object, but as I reached into the dust bag of a £13.5K Hermès Kelly in the basement of Sellier Knightsbridge, I felt rather grateful for the thin layer of cotton protecting me and my sweaty hands from any threat of financial ruin.

September 26, 2021 at 06:00AM Generally speaking, I’m a creature of habit when it comes to my makeup bag—something that’s only been exacerbated now that most of my time is spent either working alone at home or looking after a toddler. After all, let’s be real: While I wear makeup to make myself feel good, there’s not much motivation for applying a neon eyeliner or colour-block shadow with only a 21-month-old to appreciate it. However, this month, I’ve been feeling the urge to get a bit more experimental when it comes to my makeup looks thanks to a combination of September’s classic back-to-school feeling and the return of red carpet events and all of those glamorous beauty looks. There’s no doubt that celebrities have really been bringing out the big guns when it comes to beautiful autumn makeup looks, and I’m feeling inspired. Stepping out…

September 26, 2021 at 06:00AM Whatever your thoughts on anti-ageing as a term, there’s no denying that moisturisers, which are created to specifically tackle things like fine lines, pigmentation and dryness, can be incredibly expensive due to their potent ingredients and advanced formulations. And while I truly believe that ageing is a privilege we should fully embrace—wrinkles and all—it doesn’t mean that taking good care of our skin as we grow older should cost a small fortune. This is why I’ve made it my mission to seek out anti-ageing products that genuinely work without breaking the bank. I’ve already discovered some brilliant serums and eye creams that rival counterparts with three-figure price tags, but today we’re here to talk about anti-ageing moisturisers—and cheap ones at that.Ahead, keep scrolling to shop seven of the best affordable anti-ageing moisturisers that genuinely hold their own against some of my luxurious favourites.It’s all about ingredients when choosing an efficacious anti-ageing moisturiser,…
