Who What Wear

January 15, 2022 at 08:00AM It can’t just be me—I had to do a double take when I saw these H&M finds because they’re just so stunning. Perusing the site’s new arrivals is a weekly activity of mine, and on my latest visit, I came across more than a few finds that actually stopped me dead in my scrolling tracks. While most of these pieces fall under the £150 mark, I wouldn’t blame you for assuming otherwise.As a fashion editor, I have a keen eye for spotting expensive-looking details, and since I’m always looking at designer clothing, I can easily spot those luxe details elsewhere. And the H&M pieces you’re about to see below immediately reminded me of something I would see on a luxury retailer, whether it’s a buttery-yellow sweater or a pair of polished knee-high boots.To see them for yourself and shop all of the expensive-looking items in…

January 15, 2022 at 08:00AM We’ll say it: no one nails the art of effortless beauty like French girls. Call it a stereotype if you’d like, but French girls always seem to have the most beautiful makeup looks. Considering that France is home to some of beauty’s biggest names (think L’Oréal, Guerlain and Clarins), it only makes sense that the French way of life is laced with nods to the country’s roots in beauty. It only takes a couple of minutes of roaming the streets in Paris to spot that French women know how to apply their makeup. Their skin is plump, smooth and glowing, their brows appear effortlessly preened, and their cheeks radiate a flush so healthy it leaves you wondering what their secret is. But wonder no more because we’ve reached out to French makeup artist Ewa Ciezkowska to uncover the six makeup tips French girls…

January 15, 2022 at 08:00AM If I opened your denim drawer right now, I bet I could guess some of the key silhouettes stored inside—straight-leg jeans, skinnies and perhaps even an of-the-moment outlier like the wide-leg 90s cut. But what’s one style that probably hasn’t surfaced to the top of the pile as much lately? Flares. Sure, cropped flares have had their moment in recent years but the more polarising bootcut and bell-bottom styles (aka non–skinny jeans) haven’t been as popular— until now.Designers from Alberta Ferretti to Dior reintroduced fresh flare jeans in their autumn/winter 2021 collections and the silhouette was cemented as the next It denim pick in the spring/summer 2022 collections by the likes of Saint Laurent and Rejina Pyo. Even celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Margot Robbie, and Harry Styles have already been following suit in ‘70s-inspired flares.To highlight the look further, below we’ve broken down…

January 15, 2022 at 08:00AM Despite how much we admire celebrity airport style, it’s not always so easy to figure out what you should wear on a plane when push comes to shove, especially now that many of us have put our travel plans on pause for a while. Stilettos and high-waisted leather pants look great in paparazzi shots of stars strutting through airport terminals, yet in action, these statement-making ensembles can prove a bit trickier. And though we’d all love to look our best when hitting the skies, certain wardrobe pieces are best left in a checked bag or carry-on. Who better to inform us of what to never wear on a plane than someone who works at 35,000 feet? We reached out to American Airlines flight attendant Andrea Fischbach to spill her list of things you shouldn’t wear when flying for the sake…

January 15, 2022 at 08:00AM I cannot tell you the last time that my hair was at the forefront of my mind. Previously, “How should I wear my hair?” was the biggest question of my beauty routine, and now I feel like it’s fallen right to the bottom of my getting-dressed list.The thing is, while I want my hair to look like I’ve invested ample time in styling it, I don’t always have the minutes to spare. But my hair says so much about my current mood and the way that I want to present myself that I don’t want my two-minute style to scream “I really don’t care about my hair"—even if I did basically show my strands no love that morning.Luckily, via my ever-patient hairdresser, I sussed out a cut that is so low-maintenance that even when the biggest effort I make is running a brush through…

January 15, 2022 at 06:30AM There’s no doubt that 2021 was a turbulent year for our hair. We spent the first few months trying our hardest to manage our strands at home after going a really long time without a salon appointment. And when we finally did get the chance to sit down in front of a hairdresser, we had a whole lot of damage on our hands. Despite having big plans for our hair last year, in reality, we spent most of 2021 trying to get our strands fighting fit after many, many months of neglect. But as we ring in the New Year, we’re feeling pretty confident that 2022 will be the year for hair. To get some sort of idea of the sorts of hair trends that will be popular this year, we reached out to some of the top hairstylists in the game.So, whether…

January 15, 2022 at 06:17AM Kendall Jenner, top model and Fwrd’s creative director, knows more about fashion trends than the average person. In fact, she’s responsible for setting many of them, so it was no surprise when she stepped out for an event (celebrating Fai Khadra’s collaboration with Oliver Peoples) earlier this week wearing one that’s going to be everywhere in 2022: a micro miniskirt.Back in October when the S/S 22 collections debuted, the super-short skirt trend heated up runways of Miu Miu, Missoni, Knwls, and Blumarine, to name a few. It’s the latest in a long string of revived Y2K trends, and Jenner’s take on it was especially polished. She paired a tiny leather skirt with a camel top and long-sleeve mock-neck, completing the look with a pair of knee boots. (If you’re not sure how to approach styling such a short skirt,…

January 15, 2022 at 06:03AM Chloé has a habit of creating cult handbags. It all started in 2005 with the slouchy Paddington featuring a gold padlock. In fact, you could say that the epic waiting list it caused was one of the triggering factors behind It bags even becoming a thing in the first place. Seventeen years later, the accessories department at the French fashion house is still sending shoppers into a spin. One of the biggest bags of past couple of years is the Chloé C bag, though it seems like styles from its spring/summer 2022 collection are going to be just as popular (more on those later). The beauty of Chloé bags truly lies in their variation and versatility. For each style there are often several silhouettes you can choose from, including smaller clutches all the way up to everything-but-the-kitchen-sink-sized totes. Meaning whatever…

January 15, 2022 at 06:03AM As someone who feels the cold and likes to let everyone know about it, it might surprise you to learn that I’m hoping this is going to be a long winter. Why? Because I’ve just found a host of easy winter outfits that I want to not only re-create right now but also downright perfect over the next few months.Yes, dressing in winter can be difficult, especially when you want to look cute and stay warm in the process, but somehow, my favourite influencers are making it look so simple—and I want in. Below, I’ve rounded up a mere selection of the impressive winter outfits I’ve spotted lately, all of which should be within styling reach, as they utilise some staples that may already be lingering in your wardrobe.Scroll on to see them, and you too will be wishing…

January 15, 2022 at 06:02AM The words “affordable” and “cashmere” aren’t often found together. In fact, I tend to be dubious when they are—but not when Marks and Spencer is part of that equation. I’ve been shopping in the high-street institution for as long as I can remember (one of my earliest memories is looking at red-velvet dresses for Christmas in the children’s department at the age of 4), so when it came to investing in my first piece of cashmere, I knew exactly where to turn. Buying cashmere is a rite of passage for grown-ups, but you needn’t completely break the bank to add some luxury to your wardrobe. I’ve been fortunate to have cashmere from high-end designers as well as Marks and Spencer, and I can confirm that the high-street retailer’s iterations have held up just as well (if not better) than those with plush price…
