Who What Wear

April 15, 2022 at 06:30AM First of all, we want to highlight that by no means are we advocating the concept that anyone has to spend money on new skincare with every birthday. The reality is, although beauty brands would love to have us think that we need a new skincare arsenal every time we hit a new milestone, our skin’s wants and needs remain more or less constant throughout most of our adult lives (with a few tweaks here and there).The issue lies in the fact that all too often, in our younger years, we neglect our skin, leaving us having to deal with the repercussions later on. And sadly, as with most things in life, the best way to deal with skin issues is through prevention. Don’t get us wrong—skin ageing is one of life’s natural processes, but that’s not to say…

April 15, 2022 at 06:30AM Celebrity beauty brands are not my thing. I’m somewhat of a product snob, and I go into the testing process of any celebrity-backed beauty brand with a hearty serving of cynicism. My reasoning behind this is, despite the fact some of my favourite stylish celebrities make for great beauty inspiration, when it comes to products, I know they’re no experts. In reality, it’s the countless people responsible for their makeup and hair looks that really hold the secrets. The one area of beauty that I will almost always turn to expert advice on is haircare. The reason for this, I’ll admit, it mostly selfish. You see, I have never been able to style my own hair in a way that oozes effortless glamour. I always leave the salon feeling as though having an expert on hand every day (a la the A-list)…

April 15, 2022 at 06:24AM It’s fair to say that recent fashion trends have been a conveyor belt of “dad” trends, with everything from anoraks to golf course–ready polos getting attention from the fashion crowd. The practical sandal was undoubtedly one of the most popular, with hiking brand Teva shifting its camping shop credentials to become the sandal of choice for Instagram’s coolest. It saw sellout success within weeks. Well, it’s time for dad sandal lovers to rejoice, because the £50 comfy-yet-cool shoe style is back for another year, and is ready to transition your loungewear into the warmer months. Tevas are shoes you can just as easy mooch around at home in as you can walk 10,000 steps a day in, thanks to the spongey platform and the adjustable straps. They come in many colours, including orange, white, khaki, aqua (a popular style is the Hurricane Drifts). However, the most-loved style within fashion circles are the Universal…

April 15, 2022 at 06:31AM As far as celebrity sightings go, Sienna Miller’s are somewhat inconsistent. We can go months without so much as an errand run, and then wham—Miller treats us to a slew of impressive ensembles in just a few short days. And, dear readers, this is one such slew. Sienna Miller has been making a string of appearances to help promote her latest project, the new Netflix series Anatomy of a Scandal, and her latest look—one she wore as she made her way back to her London hotel from a day of interviews in the capital—immediately caught our attention. We get it. Sienna Miller always wears great outfits. So what makes this one so special? Her excellent skirt-and-shoe pairing, that’s what. For the outing, Miller chose a gorgeous, lilac-hued bouclé miniskirt-and-jacket set, which she offset with a pair of trending white mules.The two-piece was cherry-picked…

April 15, 2022 at 06:08AM As a fashion editor, I spend a lot of time browsing new-in sections, which means I can be exceptionally picky. So far this year, there is one brand that seems to be reading my mind and delivering all the pieces I’d be looking for: Mango.If you are searching for wardrobe staples, you can always rely on Mango for timeless, but not boring, designs. Right now, you’ll find beautifully tailored blazers, jeans that have just the right amount of slouch and ribbed knitwear that defies its price tag. Personally, I am most impressed by the dress offering with every trend from cut-outs to minis ticked off. Mango also has some more unusual and striking pieces in the mix, which all have a retro feel if you’re looking to add some personality to your outfits. There are lots of ‘70s prints and a…

April 15, 2022 at 06:00AM It can be a challenge working as a fashion editor to keep perspective when you’re often surrounded by so many beautiful, luxurious items. Our wish lists include designer pieces we’ve seen on an influencer, runway or celebrity that we could only ever dream of owning in reality ourselves. Yes, there are some pieces worth saving for, and we’re all about investing in a few key, timeless pieces that will elevate your wardrobe for many years to come—a leather handbag or camel coat, for instance. But when it comes to our day-to-day wardrobes, the Who What Wear UK team have become experts in channeling that expensive taste to find the most premium-looking but affordable pieces out there. Since we’re entering a new season, and the weather is warming up before our eyes this weekend (finally), I thought it might be a good time for me to ask my…

April 14, 2022 at 08:00AM For most of my life, I have been blessed with pretty clear and even skin. While many of my friends battled with acne at school and throughout their teenage years, my skin stayed clear and blemish-free. That was until I hit my late 20s and I started to develop adult acne. Since then, I struggle to name a time that my face hasn’t had some sort of breakout or blemish. It is as though every time a spot started to heal, another would crop up. And so, I have been in a three-year cycle of breakouts, healing and scarring.However, since seeking professional help from a dermatologist last year, things have been looking up. I haven’t had a notable breakout in four months (which is almost miraculous), and in terms of active spots, my skin is probably the clearest it has been…
