Who What Wear

February 01, 2022 at 06:25AM Whether you fancy yourself as a bit of a sporty spice, work from home or are a new mum and (like me) love the support you get from a pair of high-waisted leggings, activewear has been taking up a large chunk of space in our wardrobes for some time now, even long before Covid-related lockdowns began.This has meant an increase in the number of brands designing activewear and a wider variety of styles. Long gone are the days of purely functional workout clothes with unflattering seams and eye-watering prints. The rise of stylish athleisure brands means replacing our favourite jeans with a pair of leggings has become the norm. There has also been a huge rise in eco-friendly brands investing in innovative manufacturing processes and fabrics as we all grow more aware of what we wear and how its made.…

February 01, 2022 at 06:16AM Although Jennifer Lopez is often dressed to the nines (she does have plenty of occasions to dress up for, after all), she’s also no stranger to a good loungewear look. Whether she opts for leggings, track pants, a matching set, or sweatpants, Lopez always looks completely put-together and stylish. This time, it was a joggers look that she mastered.There’s nothing new about people wearing sweatpants outside the house, especially over the past couple of years. We thought we’d covered every possible jogger outfit trend imaginable, but J.Lo just found another one, and it’s particularly fresh for 2022. The reason? She paired an oversize bomber jacket—from & Other Stories, no less—with her grey baggy sweats and Nike Air Jordans. You probably remember that bomber jackets were absolutely everywhere at one time, but did you know they’re a thing again? Only this time around, it’s oversize…

February 01, 2022 at 06:00AM I think foundation finish is one of the biggest points of difference that I have with my fellow beauty editors. It’s common amongst my peers to prefer a dewy, radiant finish for their base, if they even choose to wear one at all. It suits them, it just doesn’t tend to work for me thanks to my highly oily T-zone. No matter what my skincare routine is, or the time of year, or if I’m having an eczema flare-up, within a few hours of doing my makeup, I will always need to powder. So knowing this, a dewy foundation has never made sense for me as it increases the oily look that I’m blessed with. That’s why I prefer matte texture foundations.A matte finish means that my oiliness will be supressed for a little but longer, and when it…

February 01, 2022 at 05:59AM After perhaps the longest January on record, we’re all ready for the arrival of February. Ordinarily, February brings with it the excitement and buzz and sometimes bonkers outfits of fashion month, and we’re glad most shows will be back IRL this season. Most of us are already looking forward to spring so that we can wear the pretty colours, floaty dresses and chunky sandals that are tempting us in our favourite retailers' new-in sections. Still, February calls for ensembles that will help keep the lingering chill at bay, and striking a balance between springlike and cosy isn’t always easy—at least, it wouldn’t be without these ensembles at our disposal. Below, you’ll find nine outfits to try this February that’ll make you feel that spring is just around the corner but that’ll also ensure you won’t risk freezing. Keep scrolling to see these looks and, if they’re not…

January 31, 2022 at 12:50PM While browsing through H&M’s new arrivals for a story—yes, it’s is part of my job—I saw a sporty sweater that looked incredibly familiar. Then it hit me: none other than Kate Middleton has worn a similar version before. And upon further digging, I found a photo of the late Princess Diana in the very same trend, too. Is that kismet or what?Varsity jumpers are certainly nothing new, but H&M has a knack for translating trends into extremely affordable pieces that are widely accessible. So when I come across a royalty-approved trend at a £20 price point, I knew I had to share. Scroll down to see how Kate and Diana styled the preppy sweater trend and shop it for yourself. The late, great Princess Diana was photographed on a school run in 1992 wearing a varsity cable-knit sweater with jeans and ballet flats. On Kate Middleton: Ralph Lauren…

January 31, 2022 at 12:00PM When I think back to what I was doing at the age of 24, it likely involves spending most of my Saturday in Topshop Oxford Circus looking for something to wear that night. Yes, I had a pretty cool job as a fashion assistant, but other than that, I was a pretty typical twenty-something. However, almost a decade on, with a wardrobe that’s considerably chicer than it once was, I still find myself longing for the wares of another: a 24-year-old who just so happens to be an international singing sensation and Celine’s first-ever ambassador; Lisa. “Who is Lisa?” is a question I found myself asking last week when speaking with my colleagues about the person I had seen sporting some seriously impressive outfits of late. You’ll have to give me a pass on this—music has never been my…

January 31, 2022 at 08:00AM For many, this week will be the first time they are returning to the office in quite some time. Deciding what to wear on a Monday morning can be painful at the best of times, let alone if you’ve spent the past two years in leggings. The key to a successful approach to workwear is to have a capsule of smart, but comfortable, pieces that are simple enough to be mixed and matched and restyled in lots of different ways. You want to focus on ease too— shirts that won’t need to go to the dry cleaners each time you wear them and loose tailoring that looks put together, but not too restrictive.Below we have listed 10 items that will make getting dressed for the office a little easier, from a beautiful tailored blazer to a belted wrap coat…

January 31, 2022 at 10:03AM It’s not often that I’m stopped in my tracks by a jacket, but it happened last year when I spotted an unbelievably chic style modelled by Insta trendsetter Rachael Clifton, aka Bubbly Aquarius. I also couldn’t quite believe it when I saw that the jacket was from none other than high-street fave H&M, so naturally, I jumped on my emails to ask the brand’s PR to let me know as soon as the style hit the website. It was a good day when I finally got the green light. Unsurprisingly, the jacket sold out in a matter of days, but I’m happy to report that it’s back in stock for 2022.Coming in premium real leather with a boxy silhouette and zip-up fastening, it’s essentially a modern update on the classic leather biker jacket. That being said, it also has definite ’90s undertones, and…

January 31, 2022 at 09:09AM It would seem that our love affair with all things nails shows no signs of slowing down in 2022. Experts have already predicted the trending polish shades and chicest nail art designs that look set to dominate the year ahead—and FYI from elegant neutrals to bold animal print, there really is a new year nail trend for everyone—but that hasn’t stopped me from filling my Saved folder on Instagram with an array of fresh nail designs that have spring written all over them.Sure, we might still be officially in winter, but with so many pretty pastels, minimalist manis and floral designs dominating my feed I’ve already got more than enough inspiration for my spring salon appointment. Ahead keep scrolling for the 18 prettiest spring nail designs to inspire your own trip, and the products you need if you want to recreate them at home.If there’s one colour palette that rolls around every spring without fail, it’s…

January 31, 2022 at 08:00AM The skin around your eyes is very delicate and thin, so you want to be gentle with it. That means using the right products and avoiding rubbing, scratching, or pulling at the area. Because that area is so sensitive, you might also find yourself dealing with things like dark under-eye circles, dryness, and puffiness. The latter part is one thing I’ve been dealing with a lot lately, so I went to a dermatologist for some answers.In fact, puffy eyes are one of the most common concerns that patients bring to their dermatologists, says Kathleen S. Viscusi, MD, FAAD, FACMS, co-founder and partner at Dermatology and Surgery Specialists of North Atlanta (DESSNA). Treating puffy eyes is a bit more complicated than you would think. “Effectively addressing this concern for each patient is much more variable. Just as there isn’t…
