Who What Wear

April 22, 2022 at 06:54AM I know, I know—we’ve only had about five days of sunshine so far this spring, and that’s enough to put me in summer mode. What can I say? I’m optimistic. Whatever happens between now and June, summer is inevitable, and I would like to be prepared when the opportunity to wear something fun without the need for a trench coat or knit presents itself. And knowing that you, our dear Who What Wear readers, are sartorially savvy, I have a hunch that your minds are also gravitating towards your summer outfits. Well, we’re in good company.Just this week, it seems like every influencer I follow has also begun to hone their summer aesthetic (it’s the sun—I tell you), and in doing so, they’ve been serving up a fresh array of impressive outfits. Although I’m something of a minimalist, I’ve…

April 22, 2022 at 06:53AM One of the most frequently asked questions we get from our lovely Who What Wear readers is: “Which dress should I wear to a (insert ceremony type here) wedding?”. While there are certainly no rules when it comes to church ceremonies, registry office nuptials in the city or even a country escape or venue abroad. Of course there are some styles, and brands, we look to each season for wedding guest outfits.Karina wears Rixo’s Gio midi dress, and you can shop it below. Rixo, Reformation and Self-Portrait are always a go-to for dressy, yet wearable, dresses you can wear way beyond the wedding date. The likes of Simone Rocha and cult label Taller Marmo are reliable for the even fancier affairs. And when it comes to affordable styles, high street brands including & Other Stories, Reiss, Zara and Mango…

April 22, 2022 at 06:37AM So-called “ugly” trends have been reigning supreme for the last couple of years. Dad trainers, knitted tank tops, tie-dye prints and quilted coats are just some of the trends that may have initially raised eyebrows but are now adored by fashion types. This is also the case when it comes to spring/summer 2022’s most prolific shoes.Chunky sandals started making tracks two years ago when Teva’s double-strap sandals flooded our feeds. Chanel also brought out its own pair of chunky sandals, which, although emblazoned with the iconic double-Cs and finished in bouclé, still fell under the “ugly”-but-somehow-chic category. Last year, Dune treated us to its pair of best-selling Lockstockk sandals, just as The Row’s Ginza platform-sole flip-flops became a status symbol.I watched on, assuming chunky sandals would disappear as quickly as they came. However, as we approach another glorious summer, they’re still at…

April 22, 2022 at 06:30AM One thing you should know about beauty editors is that, somewhat surprisingly, we don’t tend to shout about the golden oldie products that we use day in, day out. You see, some products are just so good that they become totally ingrained in our routines. When we’re asked for recommendations, our brains go into overdrive and, all too often, our failsafe classics get forgotten about. One product in particular that always springs to mind whenever I consider this odd beauty-editor phenomenon is Dior Addict Lip Glow.The truth is, I can’t think of a single beauty editor pal that doesn’t rely on the cult tinted lip balm as a handbag staple. Lip trends come and go, but Dior Addict Lip Glow is forever. Because while pigmented matte lipstick looks great and plumping glosses deliver the ultimate clean-girl look, it’s impossible to deny…

April 22, 2022 at 06:10AM I am a spring/summer girl through-and-through. It’s that magical time when we get to rip off the restrictive opaque tights that have been glued to our legs for the last 6 months and finally get to wear our favourite lightweight dresses that have been collecting dust in our wardrobe through what felt like a never-ending winter. Most dresses will work with a pair of tights but its always my favourites (usually lighter boho dresses or more vibrant pieces) that just don’t sit well.From BBQs to weddings there always seems to be buzz and excitement for the months ahead and, of course, more than enough reasons to showcase some of the hottest new-in dresses around. Both myself and Hannah Almassi, Who What Wear UK’s Editor-In-Chief are dress fanatics, and the arrival of spring is all that’s needed for us to start exploring which key styles we’d…

April 22, 2022 at 06:00AM I love trying new beauty products. What a surprise, right? But after nearly a decade testing pretty much every new launch, I do sometimes get a bit disillusioned by newness. When you receive information about a “never before seen” product range every week, you truly wonder how much newness could possibly exist under the sun, but every now and again, I’m wowed by a delivery enough to rave about it to anyone who’ll listen. This year, there are already a few launches that have caught my eye across the beauty spectrum, from bodycare to makeup and hair care, and the price spectrum, too.Wearing Exa foundation, Saie Dew Blush in Dreamy, Saie Glowy Super Gel in Starglow and the About-Face Light Lock Lip Gloss in Such Great Heights.From blushes that give the perfect flush to body oil that cocoons dry skin, these are…

April 22, 2022 at 05:00AM Los Angeles–based influencer Janet Gunn is known for her effortlessly chic style. For her life in California, she prefers trends that are forward and highly versatile. In fact, there’s one key trend she’s wearing on repeat this season that fits this aesthetic. Yep, we’re talking about the relaxed-suiting look. “When it comes to dressing up for day or night, I prefer to put on a suit—not only is it a welcome alternative to the evening dress, but it’s also timeless and versatile,” she said. “I find wearing a suit lends itself to beauty, sharpness, and elegance.”Gunn also enjoys wearing a relaxed suit right now because just about every shoe silhouette can pair flawlessly with it, as it’s so easy and versatile. To showcase this further, you’ll actually see how Gunn styles her favorite Zara suit with four different shoes below.Keep scrolling for more intel…

April 21, 2022 at 08:00AM “Benjamin Buttoning.” Ageing backwards. Stopping time. If there’s one effect or buzzword that elicits the same visceral reaction from beauty editors, skincare experts, and customers alike, it’s anything with the term anti-ageing in it. The truth of the matter is this: There’s no miracle cream, gel, serum or treatment that has the power to actually reverse or halt the signs of ageing on the skin. (Sorry, it just doesn’t exist.) That said, there are a small number of products that come pretty close, and we’re about to share an edit of them below.Per a roster of celebrity makeup artists—Emily Cheng, Naoko Scintu and Emma White Turle—we’re uncovering a curated selection of the best anti-ageing moisturisers. The keyword here being curated because according to them, not every cream or moisturiser on the market works the same. Luckily, they find that the below six do wield high-performing effects…

April 21, 2022 at 08:00AM @jloOkay, we admit it. Every time we see new pictures of J.Lo out and about, the whole Who What Wear UK team gets a little excited. What outfit is she wearing? What beauty look has she gone for? And more importantly how does that new rock on her finger look? Of course, if she’s packing on the PDA with Ben Affleck it causes even more of an outpouring on our Slack channels. We just can’t help rooting for (and having a massive girl crush on) the ageless celeb and everything she does right now.So when these images arrived in our inbox of the queen herself wearing not one but two perfect summer dresses recently from one of our all-time favourite warm-weather brands— Zimmermann— you can imagine the excitement in the WWWUK office. We knew J.Lo was a fan of the Aussie brand as she’s previously…
