Who What Wear

January 09, 2022 at 06:30AM As a beauty editor whose job it is to test out a lot of beauty products, it’s fair to say that I have gone through a somewhat shameful amount of skincare in my time. As I am sure you can imagine, getting sent all the latest and greatest skincare products free of charge opens up a world of opportunities for my skin. It means that whenever my skin is feeling a certain way, whether it be stressed, dry or breaking out beyond belief, I usually have the best product for its exact need somewhere in my stash. But after nearly seven years in this job and very rarely buying beauty products, this year, I’m vowing to make a change. No, I’m not quitting my job, but rather, I’m going to start buying my own skincare products again. Why, you ask? Because the truth is…

January 09, 2022 at 06:06AM The past few years have been an odd time for fashion, but it’s during this period that we have acquired newfound respect for the comforting clothes that were often overlooked in our wardrobes. Joggers are one such item, as are leggings, but if there’s one piece that has sparked joy and brought literal warmth into our lives these last few seasons, it’s knitwear.Hero knits are nothing new. We’ve seen everything from Kenzo’s tiger-embroidered sweaters to Khaite’s cashmere bradigan reach their respective cult statuses almost a decade apart, but right now, the demand for designer knitwear is at an all-time high. In 2020, shopping app Lyst reported a spike in searches for knitwear—a rise of 32% year on year. Fast-forward to this very moment, where we find ourselves in the depths of winter, and designer knitwear is proving to be a hot-ticket item amongst those…

January 09, 2022 at 06:01AM As the saying (kind of) goes, new year, new Kendall Jenner outfits. We aren’t even a week in, and Jenner’s 2022 style has already left us with much to aspire to. For her latest look, she seemingly looked backward, as it’s an outfit trend that has been cool for years and will continue to be. It’s one you’ve seen time and again and have probably even worn yourself. Jenner’s timeless look consisted of an oversize blazer over a white T-shirt, straight-leg jeans, and block-heel ankle boots. For a cool twist, she layered a white button-down shirt (unbuttoned) over the tee. The look is decidedly French-girl chic (especially since the blazer is from favourite French brand Sandro) and would look just as appropriate on the streets of Paris as the streets of London. Scroll on to shop the pieces needed to re-create Jenner’s polished…

January 09, 2022 at 06:00AM You might instinctively dismiss designer logo tights as fashion folly, or they may be right there at the top of your wish list. We get it, they’re a divisive item, but today we’re here to argue in their defense. Because it’s been almost two years since Chanel debuted their now-ubiquitous CC tights on the catwalk and we’re still obsessed with them. Statement hosiery has been a part of Alessandro Michelle’s signature layered looks at Gucci since the early days of his reign as creative director. What we’re saying is this ‘trend’ has some serious legs— pun intended. The latest incarnation sweeping across fashion circles is Gucci’s GG monogram tights and we have to say we can’t help but be here for it. Tights may seem like an afterthought accessory— something you throw on at the last minute when you realise it’s a little chilly…

January 09, 2022 at 06:00AM Aïda Sané is one of those Paris-based creatives who just get it in the style department. She’s perfectly mastered that je ne sais quoi with an IG feed that’s filled with effortless, impossibly chic ensembles. So when we have the opportunity to tap her for sartorial tips, we jump at the chance. On that note, as we enter the New Year, we wanted to get a sense from Sané of the items she plans on wearing even more of in 2022 to complete her covetable wardrobe.Below, you’ll uncover five specific pieces Sané will incorporate in her go-to uniforms, including inspired iterations of each. As you’ll see, the items in question are highly versatile and could be of interest to you given that they can be styled in many different ways.Keep scrolling to check out the items this French woman is wearing in 2022 for her day-to-day life in Paris.“This chocolate coat…

January 08, 2022 at 08:00AM I rarely venture out of Manhattan, but this weekend, I took a trip with some friends upstate to do some apple picking and sale shopping (the perfect fall day). When we arrived at the mall, my heart soared as I saw so many people wearing and shopping the trends that I had predicted just one or two years ago. Since I tend to keep to quieter parts of New York City, I rarely come across such a large crowd, and my analytical fashion brain was doing its scanning. I felt reminded of the power of trend-spotting—it’s fun to watch something come down the runway and subsequently catch a glimpse of fashion insiders wearing it, and then finally being submerged in crowds dressed up in seemingly Jacquemus-inspired knits and Celine-level tailoring.My little weekend trip inspired me to come home to my fashion editor crystal ball and see…

January 08, 2022 at 08:00AM If there’s anything I’m very strict about when it comes to my beauty routine, it’s my body lotion. I might forget a step in my nighttime skincare routine, but I never forget to put body lotion on after I shower or in the mornings, even I don’t shower. For the most part, it’s paid off. Aside from the occasional eczema flare-up on my hands, arms, or neck, I have pretty smooth skin. But since I’m a curious person and like to question everything, I wanted to know if there were some things I was missing when it comes to body-lotion application. So I reached out to dermatologist Naissan O. Wesley, MD, FACMS, of Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills to get her tips and to see what role body lotions play in reducing premature ageing or the signs of ageing.…

January 08, 2022 at 08:00AM Congratulations are in order for one of the OG French influencers Camille Charrière. She just married François Larpin in Paris, and the event was as stylish as you’d expect. The bride wore a Celine couture wedding dress for the ceremony, featuring a sheer skirt and sleeves along with shiny sequin details. She finished the look with white pointy-toe pumps and delicate snowflakes pinned to her hair. How romantic is that?Charrière’s reception look, however, seemed to steal the show, as it was completely sheer and exposed her white thong underneath. The ethereal lace number featured ultra-thin straps and a mini train, contrasting her ankle-length wedding dress from earlier in the day. Scroll down to see Camille Charrière’s wedding photos. On Camille Charrière: Celine couture dress. Based on an amalgamation of two different looks from Celine’s winter 22 collection, this comprised of a blouse layered over…

January 08, 2022 at 08:00AM As we wave goodbye to one year and welcome another, there are certain traditions that we all like to indulge in. You might be busy planning your NYE outfit or hurriedly making lists of your resolutions. Us? We’re focusing on one of our own much-loved traditions here at Who What Wear UK: our annual dress report. If you know us well, you’ll know just how much we love a dress. And really, why wouldn’t we? They always seem to swoop in to save us when we need it most—when we have nothing else to wear, when we need to look put-together in an instant, when we suddenly can’t fit into our favourite jeans or when it’s just too darn hot to wear anything else. Whether you’re a dress person or not, it’s likely you have at least a…

January 08, 2022 at 08:00AM My mum is no stranger to the Who What Wear scene. Of course, she’s a member of my family, so it’s a given that she has to put up with me talking about and testing beauty products 24/7, but since she has her own background and experience in beauty, trading secrets, application tips, and fave products with her is all the more fun. As I am a beauty editor, you’d think I’d be the one teaching her all of the things, but in reality, she’s taught me some of my most treasured beauty secrets and has turned me on to some of my most beloved products. (Plop her in a drugstore aisle, and she'll pull together an all-star ensemble of cheap makeup picks that will look so expensive on your face.)As someone who had years of experience in front of the…
