Well, if you’re looking for a few fresh ideas to switch it up a bit this season, you’ve landed in the right spot. Below, I’m showcasing a range of ensembles that I’m loving at the moment.

December 19, 2021 at 05:15AM If there’s one thing I know, it’s dresses. My wardrobe is full of them, and I wear them 99.9% of the time. I’ve always struggled with casual (long-time Who What Wear readers will have repeatedly read about my ongoing struggle with denim—sorry to be a bore!), so easy, good-looking frocks are my most trusted fashion staple. I have affordable ones that I wear each and every week. I have special, more expensive ones that come out for important occasions or big meetings. I have those in-between, mid-priced options that bridge the gap between casual days and fancy ones. I own styles that are ultra-summery and best for heatwaves and holiday packing, but I’ve also got a fair number of clever, trans-seasonal styles that can work layered up and with tights in winter or with bare legs and sandals during warmer months. I even…

December 18, 2021 at 06:00AM Carrie Bradshaw is now back on our screens, and just like that many of her wardrobe signatures are making a quick revival. Carrie will forever be associated with corsages, namesake necklaces and Manolos, but to me one of the most Bradshaw trends of all is the ballerina skirt. In the opening sequence of Sex and the City she wore a pink tank top with a white tutu, which stylist Patricia Field found for $5. In series six when Carrie moved to Paris with Aleksandr Petrovsky the ballerina skirt returned for her final scene where she gets slapped and then is reunited with Mr Big. To be precise it was a sage green knee-length tulle skirt.Sarah Jessica Parker has said of the now iconic look: ‘I think I loved the tutu dress that I wore at the end of the…

December 18, 2021 at 10:00AM December is usually a time for back-to-back parties, but after a difficult few years, family and friends will be the most important thing about Christmas for many again this year.

December 18, 2021 at 08:00AM Thin hair can be difficult to style. Trust me—I know. I’ve tried to make my naturally thin hair look thicker and fuller ever since I was in middle school and my mum let me get my hands on a hot tool. Since then, I’ve cycled through plenty of hairstyles, volumising products, and thickening techniques. Some have worked, but most haven’t. That’s okay. Somewhere along the way, I’ve learned to live and work with my naturally thin hair (sigh), and the style I choose to wear it in has a lot to do with that. For example, I’ve learned a slick-straight style doesn’t do my thin hair any favours, which is why I tend to go with tousled, textured waves instead. So yeah, I had my opinions on what hairstyles work best for my thin, medium-length hair, but I was wondering what experts…

December 18, 2021 at 08:00AM From bakuchiol to CBD, 2021 has already seen it’s fair share of trending skincare ingredients, and I’ve tried them all. From overcoming my resistance to retinol to embracing a more pared-back approach to my skincare routine, I love experimenting to work out which ingredients are truly worth putting on my skin.There’s one key ingredient, however, that I’ve wholly neglected to sing the praises of this year. Despite using it every single day in my own routine, this ingredient has been somewhat overlooked in favour of the buzzy new launches that have been leading the way. Yet ask anyone with amazing skin which scientific ingredient it is that they swear by, and I guarantee it will be this one.The ingredient in question? Vitamin C. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C might not be anything new, but it’s certainly a bit of a wonder ingredient if you aren’t…

December 18, 2021 at 08:00AM Over the past year, we have experienced somewhat of a nail frenzy. While makeup and hair used to give us our aesthetic kicks on Instagram, in 2021, we noticed a dramatic shift in the sorts of things the beauty set were paying attention to. Nails used to be considered beauty’s annoying little cousin that no one really wanted to play with. Doing our nails was a chore and nail art was reserved exclusively for in-salon acrylics.Nowadays, however, nails are king. We spend hours scrolling through Instagram, saving down all of the cutest nail ideas that come our way so that we can show them to our nail techs. And while nail trends used to be limited to simple shades and finishes, thanks to the internet and calibre of artistry out there, what we’re now dealing with is forward-thinking, super-creative styles that…

December 18, 2021 at 08:00AM There are few cities in the world that are as renowned for their fashionable inhabitants quite like Paris. The French capital is viewed as a place where trends emerge and are then emulated the world over thanks to stylish residents with a penchant for effortless ensembles.Here at Who What Wear UK, we often look to our neighbours over the Channel in order to see what is resonating with the fashion-conscious women in France, and this winter, our process is no different. In years past, a weekend trip to Paris to tourist around, trend-spot, and indulge in far too many croissants may have been on this agenda, but this year, I’m relying on Instagram for my supply of French fashion. Thanks to an abundance of incredibly cool influencers, it’s easy enough to spot the trends that are taking over the city without having…
