Who What Wear

January 22, 2022 at 06:00AM The fashion category that we editors like to call “It items” is not one that is usually known for its affordability, especially when it comes attached to a designer brand (which it often does). However, in recent years, fashion’s “mid-price” offering has expanded, with even the loftiest labels offering up pieces under £300. As you’d imagine, this price range is dominated by designer accessories—belts, scarves, jewellery—but if you look hard enough, there are also designer staples, such as logo tees, crew-neck knits and jeans, that can be found at lower prices. It’s also worth checking out insider brands that might not have the same look-at-me appeal as Gucci or Louis Vuitton but still pack plenty of fashion kudos. Raey is a great example, as it’s established itself as a cult fave amongst fashion editors thanks to its quality, minimalistic staples that won’t break the…

January 22, 2022 at 06:00AM When a high street item starts garnering a certain amount of hype, it seriously piques our interest here at Who What Wear. That’s what happened recently, anyway, when word got around about how great H&M’s wide-leg trousers were. Last year we sold over 1000 pairs through the site and after delving deeper we realised that most styles were consistently receiving incredible reviews online. So, of course, we had to see how good they were for ourselves. I was tasked with trying on as many pairs as I could get my hands on (harder than it sounds when they fly out of stock as quickly as they do), firstly to see whether they lived up to expectations, and secondly which styles in particular were worth spending money on. Turns out those reviewers weren’t wrong, and there were quite a few brilliant ones. But the…

January 22, 2022 at 06:00AM Spotting a single trending buy can sometimes be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it'll take weeks of running through Instagram with a fine-tooth comb to stumble across a noteworthy style. Other times, however, you need merely glance over your feed to see that a product is really popping off. Well, this has certainly been the case with a certain A/W 21 Totême jacket, and we’ve honestly lost count of the number of times we’ve seen it on social. Coming in a cosy shearling fabric with leather trim and a metal hook fastening, it’s no surprise that a large number of fashion lovers have taken to this versatile buy as the mercury has plummeted. Typically, influencers have been styling theirs with relatively stripped-back outfits—think monochrome denim and cream knits—but we reckon it would look just as good with a pair of print trousers or a brightly-colored blouse. As is often…

January 22, 2022 at 06:06AM Every season, new handbag trends make their way into the street style world, and each season, we eagerly scout said accessories. Despite fashion weeks not taking place in real life, there are still a load of new bags coming in (perhaps, most notably, the Prada Cleo). They’re fashion-forward and have serious backing. Sometimes, though, it's the classic designer handbags you simply can’t say no to because they are just that: classic.If you’re unsure about which luxury piece to splurge on, consider turning to the most popular designer bags ever. It’s no easy feat to earn such a title, and though many come attached with a pretty big price tag, they’re worth the splurge and deserve a spot in your collection. They’ve been the most sought-after year after year (just take a look at the fashion people below as proof), and they’ll continue to be…

January 22, 2022 at 06:02AM The next big non–skinny jeans trend is here, and it couldn’t be chicer. While skinny jeans will truly never die, nor do we want them to, we’ve spotted a number of emerging denim trends that are pretty much the antithesis of skinnies. We’ve already mentioned how flares and loose jeans are on the rise, and, well, we’re adding another of these non-skinny styles to the top of our lists: high-rise wide-leg jeans.These are full-length jeans with a trouser-like wide leg and a high rise. We know that wide-leg jeans can be intimidating if you’re not used to wearing them already, which is why the high rise is crucial here. It hugs you in all the right places and creates some nice dimension for the overall silhouette. Some of the standout pairs defining the trend are Levi’s High Loose Jeans, which celebs and their stylists alike are…

January 22, 2022 at 06:02AM The thing about celebrity engagement rings is that the longer you read about them, the more skewed your perception of “expensive” becomes. A ring that racked up a £150,000 receipt is no longer considered to be worth a second glance when you compare it to one that cost a cool £7 million. In reality, though, nearly every celebrity engagement ring is absurdly beautiful, large and therefore, pricey. What’s more, the stories and proposals behind them make every ring that little bit more interesting.From Victoria Beckham’s incredible engagement ring from David Beckham (apparently she has 14 others in the collection, as you do) to Jennifer Lopez’s pink jewel from Ben Affleck (remember Bennifer?), there are so many we know you’ll be keen to ogle. As for more recently, there have been quite a few high profile engagements: Hailey Baldwin and…

January 21, 2022 at 09:05AM Foundation is a bit of touchy topic here at Who What Wear. It’s not that we don’t like foundation; it’s more that we’re constantly on the lookout for the perfect formula. Because, if you’re asking me, the perfect foundation hasn’t been created yet. Sure, there are plenty of wonderfully glowing and wearable ones around, but as far as a foundation that blurs all imperfections, feels totally weightless and leaves skin looking like skin goes? I’m still waiting for the perfect formula. It’s needless to say, therefore, that when we hear there’s a new foundation launching, we’re desperate to try it and find out whether it’s The One. So when one of our favourite beauty brands (The Body Shop, of course) reached out to tell us they were reformulating Fresh Nude Foundation (£18) and that they wanted Team Who What Wear to be the first to try…
