Who What Wear

April 10, 2022 at 06:01AM As a fashion editor, you learn to spot a trend or hero piece like you would spot your own family in a crowd. Certain items, or maybe a whole brand are so good, they can go from a low buzz to suddenly being everywhere within weeks. It starts snowballing with various influencers, editors and celebs cottoning on, and in no time you have a cult piece or new must-have label on your hands—  it’s our job to report them back to you (of course). Over the last few years, one dress brand in particular has been seemingly taking over not only editors’ wardrobes but also influencers’. It all started with Tove’s Ceres Tie-Detail midi dress, a gathered cotton style with beautiful ruching and tie details, which now comes in different iterations from midi and mini dresses to tops in an array of materials and colours.It’s…

April 10, 2022 at 06:00AM Claw clips are having a big moment. From Bella Hadid to Hailey Bieber, celebrities and supermodels have brought back the 90s accessories trend and we’re seeing it all over our feeds right now. This time around, it’s giving less Claire’s Accessories and more supermodel vibes.It’s perhaps unsurprising that the hair accessory has made such a big comeback. They look good on every hair texture and are a saving grace for when your hair just isn’t behaving as it should, or if you’re pushing your hair wash day back. We’ve even spotted people applying a hair mask and twisting their hair up with a claw clip while it sinks in – chic and practical. There are so many claw clip hairstyles to try – why not take a look below for some claw clip inspiration?If you have a lot of hair, you…

April 10, 2022 at 06:00AM It’s an odd thing to say, we know, given that there are so many cult beauty buys out there, but really, it takes quite a lot for a beauty launch to hit the big time. With hundreds, if not thousands, of new products hitting the virtual shelves every year, it’s tough for one single product to make a name for itself. Although it might seem as though beauty insiders are recommending every new product that comes their way, trust us when we say that cementing a place in the beauty product Hall of Fame is no mean feat.Having said that, there is one particular product that has managed to make quite the impression on beauty buffs in recent years. In fact, it’s made an impression on just about everyone—so much so that when we rounded up the best-selling products of last year, it…

April 10, 2022 at 06:00AM I’ve always been into my skincare. (Ask any girl with hormonal acne and I’m sure she’ll tell you the same). The desire to find that one wonder product started in my teenage years, where I’d spend hours lusting over the just-launched cleansers and shiny posts of moisturisers in the monthly glossies, while most weekends involved poring over the shelves in Boots deciding how to spend the £30 I’d earned from my Saturday job. (Which, for the record, actually happened to be in Boots.)Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to try some of the best skincare products on the market and have created a routine that works for my skin and its needs. But I have to admit that my routine was distinctly lacking in one skincare product until a few years ago: SPF.However, when you spend so much time chatting to celebrity facialists…

April 09, 2022 at 09:08AM For most of us, spring is about sensible investments for the warmer months, such as a new pair of sandals or a throw-it-all-in tote bag. Items need to be about quality and reliability, and so this means many of us tend to lean on classics that you can wear for decades. Katie Holmes is the best example of the benefits of assembling a timeless spring capsule wardrobe; whenever we clock her out and about in New York City, she reliably sticks to an arsenal of simple but elevated items—the very sort we’d like to populate our wardrobes with. She has quite a minimal aesthetic when it comes to dressing and sticks to a neutral colour palette with camel, white, creams and navy, with the odd pop of colour.  All in all, her looks make for a very chic capsule, which we’ve handily decoded…

April 09, 2022 at 08:00AM Six years ago, my family experienced a huge scare when my then 65-year-old mom was rushed to the ER in order to receive an emergency cardioversion—aka a medical paddle used to restart her heart. The day before the trip to the emergency room, we’d been travelling, and my mom (who has since discovered she has an extreme sensitivity to sugar) had a pumpkin spice latte and an almond-filled French pastry for breakfast and then later on after dinner a small vanilla ice cream cone. As she explains, it was enough sugar (at least for her) to send her heart into atrial fibrillation, or an uneven heart rhythm.“As scary as the experience was, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise,” she tells me. “I banished heavy sugar doses from my diet and noticed that my skin started…

April 09, 2022 at 08:00AM I’m lucky enough in my job to have access to celebrity facialists, top beauty brands and the best experts in the industry, but I’ve noticed more and more that it’s A-listers themselves who are becoming all the more influential when it comes to serving up legitimately good beauty advice. Of course, celebrities like Beyoncé and Jennifer Aniston are surrounded by the beauty industry’s cream of the crop on a daily basis—from makeup artists to hairstylists—so it’s really no surprise that they’ve picked up some expert beauty tips along the way. There’s one celebrity in particular, however, whose skincare knowledge I trust more than most: Victoria Beckham.With her very own beauty line under her belt and a dedicated beauty reel of product recommendations and top tips on her Instagram, Beckham’s love of all things beauty is obvious. Her passion for products combined with how open she has…

April 09, 2022 at 08:00AM There are a lot of things that Zara gets right—personally, I think it creates some of the best blazers on the high street—but I would argue that one of the biggest jewels in its product-offering crown is shoes. In the last five years or so, Zara has upped its footwear game tenfold, producing some of the most coveted shoes out there—from the interwoven leather sliders it brings out every summer to the leather knee boots fashion people are quick to snap up the minute the first chill permeates the summer air, it’s in your benefit to keep up to date with its new shoe releases, as seldom do they hang around for long. Now, are you keen to see the Zara shoe trends 2022 has in store? Right this way…Marianne Smyth wears a pair of strappy sandals from Zara. Heels are very…

April 09, 2022 at 08:00AM I admit it; I have expensive taste, and I’m also quite (read: very) picky. I always have been. When I was a teenager, knowledge of labels generally wasn’t as prevalent as now. (We have the internet social media to thank for that.) But even then, I found myself gravitating towards pieces of substance and brands of note over the quick and easy wardrobe updates that would tempt my friends. I dressed older than my years, which, at the time, sometimes meant I felt the opposite of “trendy.” Looking back, however, at photographs of my best friend’s 16th birthday party, to which I wore wide-leg tailored trousers and a silky camisole, I’m just grateful that such photographs don’t make me cringe today.Now, a full-fledged adult, I’m still picky and have the same expensive taste. My budget, however? Well, it doesn’t always…

April 09, 2022 at 08:00AM We’re likely all asking ourselves the same question at the moment: What can I wear that’s as comfy as loungewear but looks like I’ve put a lot more effort in? And there’s no better or easier shortcut to reaching that goal than a great dress. “But it’s winter!” We hear you. But most of the 23 dresses on our list below are cold-weather appropriate or can be with the simple addition of a roll-neck, a pair of chunky boots and maybe some opaques while there’s still a chill in the air. Come spring, you can toss these layers aside dramatically (or store them away neatly) at the first sight of sunshine. It’s a win-win.Plus, many dresses are inherently comfy, and we’ve made sure the below styles definitely are. So why the heck not chuck on one of these…
