Who What Wear

December 22, 2021 at 06:00AM It was a single coat by Swedish fashion label Rave Review that first caught the attention of the Who What Wear editors back in 2019. Coming in a traditional plaid check in rich autumnal hues of red, yellow and green, we were struck by its originality that somehow felt both nostalgic and innovative—and that was before we knew it had been made out of old blankets. We couldn’t quite believe that anything that chic could have been upcycled. Oh how wrong we were.Founded by Josephine Bergqvist and Livia Schück in 2016, Rave Review made its debut at Paris Fashion Week in Spring 2018. It quickly won-over the fashion elite with its bold patchworked designs and radical production methods that saw pieces crafted out of deadstock fabrics (including bed sheets, blankets and scarves) and second-hand clothes. While the brand’s plaid blanket coats have become a signature, each collection is eclectic is its…

December 22, 2021 at 06:00AM Until maybe two years ago, no matter what I used to curl or wave my hair, I could not get the style to stick around for longer than a couple of hours. It was such an issue, and no matter if my hair was relaxed, natural and pressed, or in a weave, the wave would always drop. Before heading to my party or event, I would spray on a ridiculous amount of lacquer until my strands were crisp tendrils, and then at least the style would hold, but my hair would look and feel so dry. I know it’s a problem a lot of my friends, no matter their hair texture, face too. How do you actually make waves last?It wasn’t until maybe my third year covering hair at fashion weeks and working with salons and stylists every single…

December 21, 2021 at 08:00AM While trending haircuts come and go and certain hair colours feel more seasonal than others, there’s a certain hairstyle that people search for all year round: the best one for thin hair. Sure, it’s vague, but it’s undeniable that our quest for thicker-looking hair is timeless. Between seeking out the best strand-boosting products and searching for the colours that actually look good on finer hair, we’ve been really getting our heads down here at Who What Wear to find out what works.Luckily, with hair experts on hand to answer all of our thin-hair questions, we’ve come up with a conclusive list of the best hairstyles for thin hair. Yes, from salon cuts to at-home ‘dos, these six hairstyles will genuinely make thin hair look thicker.It’s a good job that hair salons are open again because thin hair really benefits from regular trims to avoid those straggly ends that can make fine…

December 21, 2021 at 08:00AM Each season as fashion month begins, editors, influencers and fashion enthusiasts are bombarded with new-season styles. With four separate cities putting on events and several shows each day, there’s a veritable banquet of looks and designers to keep track of. And while newness is, of course, the name of the game, this season, I found myself experiencing a recurring sense of déjà vu.In New York, Milan and Paris, several designers and brands sent looks down the runway which felt oddly familiar, immediately conjuring up nostalgia for the early 2000s. Miu Miu created barely-there miniskirts adorned with box pleats and thin belts, a look which Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and every other Y2K It girl heavily invested in back in 2002. Cargo trousers (yes, cargo trousers!) were back on the agenda at Tom Ford, validating the questionable fashion choices I made as a…

December 21, 2021 at 08:00AM As winter comes knocking, so too does our desire to start paying our nails some more attention. While the summer months have us booking in for gel manicures every few weeks to ensure our manis and pedis stay fresh, come autumn, we like to give our nails a little bit of a break. But as we start gearing up for Christmas, you better believe we’re ready to jump back on the manicure train.Over the past few weeks, we’ve been busy saving down all of the winter nail inspiration we can’t wait to try over the coming months. However, with parties already starting to get booked into our diaries, we’re anticipating finding ourselves out of time this festive season. And while we’re big lovers of nail art, we also appreciate that it can be a time-consuming trend. So this winter, we’re…
