Who What Wear

January 05, 2022 at 06:00AM There are hundreds of thousands of influencers in the social ether, but there is only a handful who we religiously stalk in order to virtually steal the clothes off their backs. Our primary target is Monikh—the London-based styling and shopping guru who seeks out the coolest buys from every corner of the retail world.

January 05, 2022 at 06:00AM In our experience, coats are one of those wardrobe staples that really pay dividends when you invest a little more money in them. Of course, that doesn’t have to mean four-figure sums. Rather it could mean hand-selecting premium brands that know how to deliver time-tested designs. Some of fashion’s most famous outwear icons include the Max Mara camel coat, which dates back to 1981, and the iconic Burberry trench that boasts an impressive 100-year history. But there are also plenty of new entries making their presence felt in the market right now, including the oversized luxury of Raey and Saks Potts’s statement-making big-collar energy. They’re classics in the making, for sure.So if you’re on the lookout for an investment coat, be it a trench or a puffer, we’ve created a rundown of the nine iconic styles that we personally love. Top tip: If your budget is a…

January 05, 2022 at 06:04AM I’m one of those summer people who prefer winter clothes. Let me explain: While I love the feeling of the sun on my skin, barbecues and longer days that the warmer months bring, I get the most joy from autumn/winter outfits. Playing around with layers, embracing cosy knits and picking The One when it comes to a winter coat are all part of the fun. But I sometimes (read: always) choose to take the easy option when it comes to getting dressed for cold-weather days, and this begins with affordable wardrobe basics.While I still look to my classic capsule wardrobe pieces—the white shirt, oversized blazer and good-quality T-shirt, to name a few—my winter basics are all about being comfy and cosy, but this doesn’t mean boring. There’s no rule that basics have to be neutral or that they can’t have…

January 05, 2022 at 06:03AM When it comes to seasonal dressing, there are some stores that seem to have a particular period down. Zara, although excellent year-round, seems to outdo even itself in the summer months, with various It dresses lining its rails. Similarly, I always think ASOS gets warm-weather dressing so right. But of course, I’m not here to talk to you about summer clothes (spring, perhaps, but not summer). So allow me to turn your attention to the brands leading the style charge this winter: H&M, Mango and Monki. TyLynn Nguyen wears an outfit from Mango. As an editor, an integral part of my job description is to scout the new-in sections of, well, just about every fashion website you can think of to find the best pieces that have landed overnight. And below are the pieces I think you need to see from the three aforementioned…

January 05, 2022 at 06:02AM If you live in Britain, you likely own around 407 jumpers. Okay, I’m exaggerating, but with a cooler climate and depleting hours of daylight, they’re basically a second skin for those of us who call this little island home. However, volume doesn’t always equal enthusiasm, and when it comes whipping up a jumper look for the 78th day in a row, you might find yourself feeling less than inspired. This is why I’ve decided to lend you a helping hand before things get seriously dire by showcasing the coolest jumper outfits to try in 2022. If you, too, find yourself falling out of love with the knitwear pieces you already own, I’ve whittled down some key jumper outfits which are sure to reignite your fashion fire. From the trick that makes any outfit look 10/10 (just add these shoes) to…

January 05, 2022 at 05:00AM If you spent the downtime over Christmas break like I did (catching up with Instagram while binging Netflix, obviously), then you will probably have spotted one jumper cropping up again and again. Ganni’s scarf-neckline cable-knit jumper is a thing of beauty, and it is a piece we would definitely consider to be a modern classic here at Who What Wear. So it’s no wonder so many influencers and editors have taken the plunge and added it to their wardrobes already. Shall we talk about what makes it so great? Well, firstly, the cable-knit pattern is so timeless, looks expensive—especially in cream—and is always one of the items on my winter capsule list. The traditional knit makes even the simplest pair of jeans look super luxe and cosy. Secondly, it’s versatile. I’ve added some examples below of how fashion girls have been wearing it so…

January 04, 2022 at 07:00AM Arket’s puffer coats have become somewhat of a cult classic in fashion circles over the past few years. If you remember, we reported on just how good the brand’s Long Down Puffer Coat is towards the end of 2021 when Who What Wear UK Editor, Emma Spedding, chose it over all the rest when searching for the *perfect* style. But it’s not just us who’s obsessed, so many influencers and editors have been spotted in the high street store’s cosy down coats, and the item even made it into Lyst’s top 10 biggest selling items of the year all the way back in 2020. Since then this practical coat has only gotten more and more popular, proving its cost-per-wear worth and becoming fashion gold dust as the months get colder. These days, it’s sold out more often than it’s in stock.  So when…

January 04, 2022 at 06:00AM Once, the role of a fashion editor was all about covering newness. However, we think that just as much (if not more) focus should be given to classic pieces you’ll wear again and again. Throughout January here at Who What Wear, we will be focusing on these classic fashion items, helping to answer the one shopping question we get asked the most: How do you know what is worth investing in?If you’re making a designer purchase, you want to make sure you get a return in terms of quality and longevity and that you’re not just paying for the logo and branding. Below, we’ve listed 11 designer winter items that are worth spending a little more on, with some iconic, heritage buys and newer cult classics in the mix.Of course we had to start off with the ultimate winter purchase: a Max…
