Who What Wear

December 18, 2021 at 08:00AM Leggings are staples in many wardrobes given their versatile and comfortable nature. While some specific pairs are great for various workouts, the stretchy pants also work for those day-to-day looks when you’re out and about. Today, I thought I’d talk about the latter and showcase some of the chicest pieces to wear with leggings for autumn 2021.In reality, you could pair a smattering of items with leggings, but there are a few key pieces that I think will elevate your legging looks even more. I scrolled through Instagram to uncover the forward items some of my favorite fashion follows are styling with their leggings right now. There’s everything from a bold outerwear choice to a specific knitwear silhouette that’s quite polished.All of that shopping and styling inspiration is coming at you below.A white button-down shirt is timeless, and one in…

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…

December 18, 2021 at 06:06AM When it comes to coats, I either opt for a tailored longline style or a trench in either beige, navy or tan. Some may say boring, I say classic. But when it comes to winter coats this year, I’ve branched out and got my first quilted puffer with checked sleeves from Baum Und Pferdgarten. Wild I know. And if I’m honest, my head has also been swayed by one for the most popular coats for women right now: cream coats. I’ve spotted so many of my fellow fashion editors and influencers alike sporting this particular colour. And while it’s an on-the-go coffee nightmare, I can’t stop thinking about how effortless they look with every outfit. Sure, you’ll need to splash out on dry cleaning more regularly than usual, but to look this good, I believe it’s worth every penny. All of the…

December 18, 2021 at 06:05AM Let’s face it: We spend so much time putting our everyday outfits together and reading up on and shopping the latest fashion trends that lingerie seldom gets a look in. When you’re pushed for time in a morning, those final five minutes before you rush out the door (or to your home office if that’s still the case for you) are typically dedicated to final applications of makeup or choosing which shoes go best with the rest of your ensemble. More often than not, underwear is an afterthought. But that shouldn’t be the case. Like with every other garment or accessory we wear, there are trends worth paying attention to. After all, as satisfying as it is to know that you’re killing it in the outfit department, isn’t it even more satisfying to secretly know that your underwear is equally on point?…

December 18, 2021 at 06:00AM The longer I work in fashion journalism, the more I become convinced that in order to make the average person’s shopping habits more sustainable, they need to be presented with a genuinely appealing alternative. Rather than measuring individuals’ behaviour against fashion’s answer to the Ten Commandments (thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s high-street coat), we have to find creativity and excitement in new ways of consuming. Upcycled clothing has always seemed an exciting prospect in this regard, using the industry’s surfeit of waste and harnessing the limitless creativity of designers to create one-of-a-kind pieces that rival any fast-fashion find.Fanfare Label is one of a line-up of new fashion brands that are making upcycling a core part of their brand DNA. Launched by ex–fashion buyer Esther Knight in 2018, the brand takes pre-loved garments and gives them a new lease of life through a variety of innovative textile techniques. One of Fanfare’s most popular offerings is the “upcycle your jeans” service, where you can post a pair of your old…

December 18, 2021 at 06:00AM I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve noticed the dialogue around finding grey hair has really shifted over the years, and I, for one, am pleased. While, yes, seeing your first grey hair can be a shock, nowadays it seems like there is less of a head-first dive to cover them up and more of a move to work with the change of your tone. Grey blending is just the latest way to embrace the inevitable change to our hair, and experts agree that it’s the chicest way to transition colour.When it comes to applying this colour trend, it’s much like the highlighting services that we are used to. “With the grey blending service, hairdressers use techniques like babylights and balayage to blend grey hair into an overall look to give it a more natural result,” says Zoë Irwin, Wella…
