The High-Street Pieces Our Editors Want to Buy This Spring

February 08, 2022 at 06:28AM We hate to brag, but we do think that Who What Wear’s editorial team has rather exceptional taste. Biased? Us? Never. But really, it’s our job to be on top of these things and pinpoint the items that we think are actually worth the investment of your hard-earned cash. With the new season about to kick in, we felt it was time to share the high-street wish lists that we’ve been carefully compiling over the last month or two.There is a certain art to shopping the high street, and we’ve found that the dictum “patience is a virtue” is a helpful approach in this context. It’s all about utilising the bookmark or “like” feature, which allows you to add something to a wish list that you can then peruse at your leisure. Trust us. Sometimes, time and distance can be key to not making a rushed, badly judged…

2 Perfume-Obsessed Beauty Editors Sound Off on the Best Perfumes of All Time

February 08, 2022 at 06:30AM We love all things beauty here at Who What Wear, but if there’s anything we love above all, it’s fragrance. We could talk about fragrance for hours on end and would not get sick of it. We’re constantly Slacking about new fragrance launches, our favourite perfumes of all time and how a certain scent smells on our body chemistry. It’s truly a lifestyle.I personally use fragrance as a way to enhance however I feel that day. When I first started wearing perfume, I wanted to find a signature scent or something I could wear every day that would remind people of me. (Funnily enough, I chose Tom Ford Black Orchid, which you’ll find on this list.) As I got older, I realised that fragrance could be more than something someone remembers about you. Fragrance can be a form of…

23 Lingerie Brands We’d Always Recommend to Our Friends

February 08, 2022 at 06:24AM When it comes to finding out your correct bra size, we’ve got you covered with a genius calculator, and when it comes to shopping the best bras, we also know where to go. But what about the best lingerie brands? Lingerie doesn’t just cover bras—we’re talking about knickers, pj sets, bodysuits, robes and bras. As this section of our wardrobe is intensely personal and dictated by our size, shape and budgets, finding just what you’re after can be hard. For example, you might have bigger boobs but would love a lacy triangle bra that finally fits. Or maybe you’re a minimalist and want a great store that sells chic separates. Or perhaps you just want to upgrade your underwear drawer with some new and interesting labels. We’ve rounded up the best lingerie brands to suit every style and body shape, so…

Copenhagen Fashion Week Just Made These 6 Cool Trends Go Viral

February 08, 2022 at 06:23AM Copenhagen calls the shots. The Danish capital has established itself as the preeminent fashion week in terms of trend-setting prowess, street style photography, and sustainability—and it’s only getting stronger every season. This has positioned Copenhagen Fashion Week as a can’t-miss event on the global fashion calendar, not just for me personally, but for a slew of other international editors, buyers, and influencers. One thing I love about Copenhagen is how its schedule expertly mixes little-known brands like Jade Cropper and A.Roege Hove with established labels like Ganni and Stine Goya. This gives everyone the best of both worlds: On one hand, you get the inside scoop on new brands to start wearing before everyone else catches on. On the other end of the spectrum, you can feast your eyes on highly-anticipated shows from brands you already know and love. After arriving back home in…

Decoding Y2K Fashion Trends: Here’s What Actually Looks Good 20 Years Later

February 08, 2022 at 06:05AM I’m old enough to remember Y2K fashion the first time around. I can still vividly recall the cowl-neck black top I wore with my knee-length stonewash denim skirt and a choker for New Year’s Eve 1999. I loved that outfit at the time, and 14-year-old me was very happy about it, but I know there isn’t much from it I’d wear today. However, thanks to TikTok and the fact that the 2000s were 20 years ago, there is a current revival going on of everything related to Y2K fashion. According to a Stylight report, these turn-of-the-millennium trends are booming thanks to Gen Z discovering and showcasing them on TikTok. While I’m not keen to re-create much from my wardrobe from that era, there are plenty of other trends that still look good today.I delved into the archives to dig up some of the best celeb…

I’m a Coat Snob and I’m Losing It Over H&M’s Expensive-Looking Styles

February 08, 2022 at 06:00AM Hi, I’m Emily and I’m a coat addict. If you try and argue with me that another clothing item does more to make outfits look amazing then we’ll probably be here a long time. As a stylist and fashion editor, a great coat has long been my secret weapon for impressing with my wardrobe, especially during work events like fashion month when the pressure is on to look our best. The thing is, you can be wearing the most simple pair of jeans and a t-shirt underneath— but add a great coat and you instantly have a ‘look’.This addiction to great outerwear also means I’m seriously picky when shopping for them. Because I count on coats so much, I’m a big believer in investing in fewer, really amazing styles you’ll reliably bring out year after year— which usually means I avoid the high street. But…

February 08, 2022 at 06:00AM When it comes to beauty, I use a variety of products at different price points within my routine. And from the CeraVe Cleansers I swear by, to the Palmer’s Cocoa Butter that holds precedent over most other body creams in my cupboard, I love an inexpensive product pick as much as a splurge.

You will not regret a penny spent on these wonderbuys.The texture of the balm is so dreamy. The jar is small but mighty;…

Here’s What a Dermatologist Really Thinks About These 6 Viral Skincare Products

February 05, 2022 at 08:00AM While social media can be a hub for all things fashion and beauty, skincare is a topic that can get a little tricky, especially when certain products start to trend. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been guilty of succumbing to a viral product only to be disappointed when it didn’t exactly work for my skin. While following trends for clothes and makeup can be an easier feat, with skincare, it’s crucial to be cautious because what works for others may not work for you, and some products may seem like they’re working but can actually cause damage and irritation later on. It’s important to pay close attention to the ingredients before purchasing a product and to consult an expert if possible, especially if you’re facing specific skin concerns. Since I’ve been seeing quite a few products circulate around social media that have…
