September 08, 2021 at 06:00AM When I say that my excitement for autumn knows no bounds, I’m not exaggerating. My stomach practically does summersaults thinking about cosy knitwear, festive drinks and—my favourite of all—autumnal makeup looks. Specifically when it comes to lipstick. My go-to makeup look in the colder months is usually a browny-orange shadow on the eyes with something shimmery on top, a simple sweep of highlighter across my cheekbones and a dark lip to finish it all off. Whether it’s a dark vampy red or a deep berry tone, it’s probably already in my lipstick collection—and that collection really comes into its own during the autumn months.And I’m not alone in my love of seasonal lipsticks. Most of the makeup brands that I swear by offer up a plethora of autumnal lipstick options for my favourite season—from sheers to mattes, there really is something for everybody and…

September 08, 2021 at 06:00AM People got really hyped up about Y2K. It was the turn of the century, you could finally listen to that Prince song and mean it, plus there was a lot of talk how there was a computer bug that was going to turn everything off at the stroke of midnight as our PCs wouldn’t be able to understand the switch from 1999 to 2000. While programming disasters were (mostly) averted, I can’t say the same for fashion. Y2K fashion is a particular sort of era—sure, it was a simpler time when people could still wear jeans or a nice-top-and-trousers to a red carpetevent but there were fedora hats, Juicy Couture trackies and lots of pointy-toe heels that everyone seemed to wear with bootcut jeans (shudders).The thing is Y2K trends are booming. Thanks to Gen Z, who didn’t experience…

September 08, 2021 at 06:00AM You know you have a special job when a regular part of your work schedule includes making people feel good about themselves. And that is precisely why I love our Who What Wear street style expeditions. Each month, photographer Michaela Efford and I take to the streets of London in search of well-dressed individuals, and I can’t tell you the number of times people have told us we’ve made their day simply because we’ve complimented their outfits and asked them for a photo.This month, in particular, there seemed to be a real feeling of camaraderie and sisterhood amongst the women we photographed along East London’s Broadway Market and Columbia Road. We spotted several pairs of friends happily spending their Friday afternoons together, many of whom were dressed unintentionally in coordinated or complementary outfits. There were sisters who’d just dyed…

September 08, 2021 at 05:00AM Among the Who What Wear team, I'm known for loving “ugly” shoes. Case in point? My thoughts on how Crocs were set to be big in 2021 (spoiler: they are). While that might be an “ugly” shoe too far for some, style-adjacent to the Crocs is the clog, which is also back for 2021. It might seem like the same shoe but is actually a little different, and (sorry Crocs), much cooler. Last summer, I was drawn to clogs when I spotted Fabrizio Viti’s daisy versions. I own a pair of the denim ones and while I didn’t have anywhere to wear them last summer, I can’t wait to style them à la Lucy Williams with socks.As for the rest of fashion, I can pinpoint the moment we turned towards loving clogs and that was when Hermès debuted the style in its spring/summer 2021 collection.…
