Who What Wear

January 29, 2022 at 08:00AM Having a hairdresser for a mum has meant that I’ve done just about everything you can think of to my hair. I’ve been platinum blonde, mahogany brown and everything in-between. I’ve framed my face with feathering and had thick fringes cut in. I’ve had hair down to my waist and chopped to my chin. It’s fair to say I was pretty fearless with my hair. That is until I got older.I don’t know why, but for some reason, I’ve defaulted to long-length hair in a creamy hue with lived-in roots. But after witnessing some impressive hair transformations on Instagram of late, I’m finally going to give my ‘do a refresh. And the look I’m toying with is a blunt bob.The blunt bob has undergone a bit of a resurgence as of late. A far cry from the dreaded bowl cut, instead, influencers…

January 29, 2022 at 08:00AM I wouldn’t say that Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez have similar personal styles. The latter’s tends to be much more bold and experimental. But here they are wearing identical outfit formulas in the same week in the same city. Who would have thought? They were both photographed in Los Angeles wearing black turtleneck sweaters, flared jeans and top-handle bags. Are you taking notes yet?Flared jeans happen to be one of my favourite denim trends right now—one that I’m willing to swap out my beloved skinny jeans for. In my opinion, they’re so much dressier than skinnies and help you look instantly polished. Scroll down to see how both well-dressed women style the same outfit combo and to shop similar pieces for yourself. On Jennifer Lopez: Hermès Birkin bagJen and Ben are still going strong. On Jennifer Aniston: Oliver Peoples Nisen Glasses (£297); Wolford turtleneck; Nili Lotan Oakland…

January 29, 2022 at 08:00AM The saying “you get what you pay for” applies to so many things in fashion, but one thing we struggle to justify it for is lingerie. Never has so little fabric amounted to so many pound signs as it does when you peruse luxury lingerie. And seeing as it’s something we wear, quite literally, every single day, it’s not something we’re prepared to spend our entire salary on, which is why we’ve scoured the digital shopping sphere to bring you the best affordable lingerie brands we can find.Emmanuelle Koffi wears a white lace lingerie set from Gooseberry Intimates. While they’ll save you some pennies in the process, if there’s one thing these affordable lingerie brands don’t skimp on, it’s style. From comfortable jersey triangle bralettes and big briefs to lace-trimmed teddies and even sultry see-through shorts, from an array…

January 29, 2022 at 08:00AM Try as we may, right now, all we can seem to think about is 2022 and the new trends that come with it. If you’re a loyal Who What Wear reader, as I suspect you might be, you’ll have already devoured our spring/summer 2022 trend report, outlining every notable look, garment, and accessory we saw during September’s Fashion Month showcase. If this, however, is not the case, I suggest you take a look at it and meet me back here once you’re up to speed.Okay, now that you know precisely what the new collections look like, let’s talk about how to channel them in real life. We know the runways present an exaggerated interpretation of the trends. Still, I’m always interested in seeing how I can realistically add them to my wardrobe and work them into my daily outfits—this…

January 29, 2022 at 08:00AM I don’t know about you, but the past year has felt long. I’ve got more grey hair and more wrinkles, and despite going to bed earlier, I’m still tired. There’s no denying that I’ve felt like I’ve aged faster in lockdown. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with this (I have no issues with changing hair colour or a few lines on my face), the speed at which it has happened has been a little disconcerting. I want to feel like myself again, and for me, that means getting a haircut. Over the past few months, I’ve lost count of the number of people who have said their hair needs cutting, from my husband to my colleagues as well as my parents. The craving to get a chop has been strong. Personally, I’m desperate to get my hair cut back into a…

January 29, 2022 at 08:00AM Before we get into this, we would like to preface this article by saying that no one needs to spend loads of money on skincare. When it comes to skincare, pricier doesn’t always mean better. You can get great skincare products for less than a tenner that will help get your skin on track and keep it looking as healthy as possible. With that being said, some of the best skincare products out there do come with hefty price tags, but an eye-watering price doesn’t necessarily mean you’re being ripped off. You see, when we’re talking about highly specialised ingredients, formulating a great product that actually works requires huge amounts of research, resources and knowledge, and that takes cash. One of the most highly regarded skincare brands to fall into this super-luxe, super-efficacious category is Dr. Barbara Sturm.Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a…

January 29, 2022 at 07:24AM Over the past few years, there has been a growing appreciation for classic items that are resistant to fickle trend cycles. There are a number of factors that have contributed to this shift, including the collective drive to create a more timeless, hard-wearing wardrobe in order to slow down our consumption combined with the pandemic, which means we are all wearing more practical and simpler outfits. Many of the cult buys for 2022 are actually items that have been hero purchases for decades and so will have a permanent place in your wardrobe. One item, in particular, that is selling out rapidly across the high street this month is monochrome striped jumpers. This is an item that will always be popular, and in particular, we love knits that combine cream and black and have an oversized fit. Celine is partly responsible for making…

January 29, 2022 at 06:45AM Over the past few years, we’ve seen a shift in the interiors retail market. Previously, you’d have to go to specific stores to find homeware to fill your flat or house with, but now, thanks to an influx of high-street stores that now dabble in interiors, it’s never been easier (or more affordable) to find new pieces for your home. While many shops have interior offerings these days, there are three hot spots we find ourselves returning to again and again when we’re in need of a homeware fix: H&M Home, Marks and Spencer and Zara Home. And we would go as far as to say they have some of the best high-street homeware we’ve seen. With everything from furniture to lighting, dinnerware to decorative accessories, M&S, Zara and H&M’s respective homeware departments stock absolutely everything you need to bestow your…

January 29, 2022 at 06:30AM I’ll admit, as a beauty editor who struggles with acne, I’m particular cynical and stubborn when it comes to skincare. Even with a deep understanding of ingredients and the skin’s basic functions, I have fallen for false claims and have been overpromised results more times than I would like to admit. Over the years, I have drawn up a list in my head of the sorts of skincare products I try to steer clear of, including anything rich in essential oils, anything dubbed “clean” or “natural” and anything that has a whole lot of Instagram hype based on how it looks. And while I know that this list is very specific to me and that others will get along with such products just fine, I have found they almost always leave me disappointed. It sounds snobby and stubborn of me, I…
