September 09, 2021 at 06:16AM It’s not just during #SecondhandSeptember that the team at Who What Wear finds inspiration in thrifting and trends of the past. There’s at least two of us on the team—myself and Joy Montgomery—who are self-confessed vintage fanatics, and a great deal of our communication includes sharing great Etsy finds for each other or new Instagram dealers to bookmark. Joy has a monthly column dedicated to secondhand shopping, we extol the virtues of rewearing anything and everything as much as possible, and every time a new-season rolls around we try our very best to dig around for the trends that might already exist in your wardrobe or can be easily bought pre-loved. Autumn 2021 is looking particularly retro, which is fantastic news for those of us who like to look back and give a vintage spin to our modern wardrobes. Yes, Y2K and the ‘90s…

September 09, 2021 at 06:12AM Ah shoes. It’s been so wonderful wearing them again, hasn’t it? All right, so we may be being a touch dramatic, but there’s no denying that, for what seemed like the longest time, shoes (and bags for that matter) had taken a back seat, and instead, we developed some new shopping habits. In lieu of treating ourselves to a new pair of heels to wear with our elegant wedding guest dresses, we snapped up loungewear, knits and candles in numbers never before seen.Still, that was 2020, and right now, as we pick up our lives where we left off, our outfits now call for something other than slippers. (Don’t worry—they’re not totally obsolete.)So, which shoe trends are we kicking autumn off with? We’re sure you’ll be pleased to hear that comfort is still very much a priority as far…

September 09, 2021 at 06:00AM Saddle up your horse, throw on a plaid shirt and ready your Woody puns, because the Wild West has made a storming return this autumn and it shows no sign of slowing down. From fringed jackets and high-waisted denim to yolked shirts and saddlebags, the cowboy uniform has cemented itself as an accepted part of the fashion editor’s wardrobe. Our favourite item, however, has to be cowboy boots.Making its presence felt both at fashion week and on Instagram feeds, this boot style is no longer a novelty in the shoe lineup and rather a reliable staple that is challenging classic knee-highs for the top spot. If the idea of an elaborate cutout detailing or snake print is enough to make you run for the hills, then rest reassured that 2021’s offering is wide-ranging. There are plenty of subtle,…

September 09, 2021 at 06:00AM There are certain beauty rules that experts and editors just love to enforce. Whether it’s not using heat protection before you straighten your hair or occasionally drifting off without removing your makeup, everyone is guilty of committing a beauty sin from time to time, right? However, it can often feel as though, should anyone break such rules, there is very little room for redemption. And I must admit, this is something I feel a little uneasy about. You see, beauty aficionados on Instagram are keen to highlight our wrongdoings. In fact, many would have you believe that the very act of using micellar water without washing it off or (God forbid) not cleaning your makeup brushes every week is up there with some of the worst crimes.For many years, I resented this approach to educating the masses on the importance of a great beauty…

September 09, 2021 at 05:00AM 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…
