Who What Wear

December 01, 2021 at 08:00AM My hair has recently reached that awkward in-between length: It’s no longer the mid-length lob that I visited the hairdressers for last year, but it can’t quite be considered a long hairstyle yet. Instead, it’s sitting rather uninspiringly on my shoulders causing me to seriously consider going for the chop. I’ve experimented with shorter hairstyles over the years but have never taken the plunge into a full-on bob.However, with my Instagram Saved folder full of some of this year’s biggest hair trends, I have to admit that I’m seriously tempted to forgo my lengths in favour of something shorter, choppier and infinitely cooler. And a quick look online confirmed so many celebrities, from Kourtney Kardashian to Lily James, have undergone major short-hair transformations over the last couple of years, and their styles look seriously amazing.So much so that the idea of going for a bob has never been more appealing. If you’re unsure what…

December 01, 2021 at 08:00AM In recent years, it was typical to see leggings paired with sneakers or a pair of slide sandals from time to time, but that’s about it. This winter, celebrities have been wearing them outside of the gym a lot more than usual, even dressing them up with chic outerwear and jewellery. And the particular shoe style that’s most often worn with jeans this time of year? Ankle boots.Yes, you read correctly—leather ankle boots (and not just Uggs) have made their way back into celebrities’ legging outfits, many of which have heels. We’ll admit that they look very, very chic. Take Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, for example, in her long vest, athletic leggings, and black suede ankle boots. Want to see more proof? Scroll for the celeb-approved legging-and–ankle-boot outfits that may encourage you to follow suit (and shop stylish leggings and ankle boots, of course).On Jennifer…

December 01, 2021 at 06:30AM There was a moment a few years ago when everyone started taking skincare super seriously. It was a common opinion that if you used face wipes, you were told to sit on a naughty step, and if you didn’t know the names of the actives in a serum, then you shouldn’t be using it. Let’s not even discuss the fact that if you weren’t following a 15-step skincare routine in a very precise order, you were simply missing out.Honestly, it all got a bit too much. At the same time, unless you were using The Ordinary, affordable skincare brands just weren’t the brands of choice. We wanted to discover the latest buys with the latest super ingredients, which usually had the price tags to match.Fast-forward to 2021, and while we’re all way more educated on what goes onto…

December 01, 2021 at 06:30AM 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…

December 01, 2021 at 06:01AM What is it about easy outfit ideas that makes them just so hard to come by? Perhaps it’s when we get swayed by trends or simply have too many options in a bursting wardrobe to think clearly (see our ways to clear out a wardrobe if you’re really struggling on this point). Either way, we all have those days when getting dressed is a chore. And right now calls for the easiest outfits to avoid a sweat-inducing panic before the day even begins. You know, the low-maintenance dresses that only require well-chosen boots to be complete. Or the throw-on two-piece that is comfortable to wear and effortlessly versatile with an accessory switch. Although these pieces need little introduction, each season, there are new recipes for success when it comes to creating the perfect look. So rather than getting in a tizzy, our team has decided to…

December 01, 2021 at 06:00AM Emma wears a Rixo coat. As an editor at Who What Wear, I typically spend a lot of time looking at new-in products, so every week, I update this story with the pieces that have caught my eye and that really stand out.We’re now days away from December, so this week, I’ve included some of the chicest party-ready items I’ve seen this year, including a Roksanda top and crystal-encrusted jeans by Reformation. Because December is also about relaxing at home after the parties and wrapping up warmly, I’ve also included the most beautiful scarf and knee-high boots. So whether you’re looking to buy, browse or discover something new, keep scrolling for pieces from the high street and designer labels that I love and think are worth investing in.I love how this skirt looks with chunky boots. An amazing layering piece. I love these colours. This would look…

December 01, 2021 at 06:00AM The word “affordable” means different things to different people. This is something we’re acutely aware of right now, especially when, on the run-up to Christmas, shopping is not only unavoidable but is also actively encouraged. Of course, advising you on what to buy is what we do best, and while we’re certain you want to mark the occasion by treating your nearest and dearest to something special, the last thing we want you to do is to blow your budget in the process. As such, we’ve rounded up an edit of affordable Christmas gifts that start at a frugal £11, peaking at the £100 mark. As we said, the word “affordable” is entirely relative, but we hope that our edit below will, if nothing else, inspire your Christmas gift ideas. That is why we’ve included everything from classic knitwear they’ll treasure for years and…

December 01, 2021 at 06:00AM In fashion’s long history, the street style phenomenon might only be a recent one (in its current manifestation anyway), yet it has been pivotal for the formation of trends and subcultures and significant in the rise of many up-and-coming brands. As fashion editors, we find it quite hard to imagine a world without this invaluable source of inspiration. Well, after a not-so-brief hiatus from the normal fashion week scheduling, the spring/summer 2022 shows saw showgoers back with a vengeance, stepping out in all manner of enviable outfits. As always, we have been keeping our eyes peeled to glean inspiration from said outfits, and as you can expect, we were not short of options. For us, this season was a continued celebration of elevated basics—pieces and pairings that are deceptively simple yet still manage to pack a punch. We’re thinking about unexpected colour combos, minimalist suiting, oversized bombers and elegantly…

November 30, 2021 at 02:30PM The only thing I look forward to more than Zara’s big but brief Black Friday sale is what always comes right after it: a brand-new collection that rivals even the most drastic of discounts. And this year’s drop did not disappoint. Following the largest shopping day of the year, the Spanish fashion brand launched its long-awaited F/W 21 collection, and this year, it’s basically a treasure trove of party looks that are just waiting to be worn throughout our busiest party season yet. From champagne-coloured suiting and sequin miniskirts to tuxedo-style capes and glitter-covered heels, Zara’s new collection contains a little something for every holiday mood—even one that calls for a pearl- and jewel-encrusted headpiece (because why not?). Keep scrolling to see and shop the entire party-ready drop. Who doesn’t want to wear a jewel-encrusted waterfall necklace to a party at least once in their lives? Prepare for everyone in…
