Who What Wear

November 17, 2021 at 07:20AM Is it crazy to start thinking about next year? I don’t think so. I hate to break it to you, but there are less than 40 days until Christmas, which means there are only a few more days than that until 2022. Yes, I know. Anyway, the reason I’m writing about the coming New Year is that I’m thinking about new trends, particularly jewellery trends for 2022. Ever since the pandemic started and we’ve been hooked to our computers and Zoom meetings, various luxury outlets reported a rise in sales of jewellery. Specifically, people are buying fine jewellery that’s great for wearing every day. The idea being that people wanted to elevate their more casual WFH looks with chic necklaces and earrings—the Zoom-friendly options. In 2021, however, Gen Z jewellery trends started to take off. A proliferation of plasticky Y2K-inspired pieces became…

November 17, 2021 at 06:35AM When promoting a fashion movie, one must dress the part, which explains why Lady Gaga, who is currently doing press for Ridley Scott’s upcoming Gucci biopic House of Gucci, has been going all out with her style choices of late. Her most recent look was especially on point, with the “Rain on Me” singer donning a chocolate-brown, flossy, cutout dress that featured an extremely high slit up the right leg. Making the look even sexier, she styled the dress—by the just-launched label Et Ochs (founded by former Cushnie et Ochs designer Michelle Ochs)—with D'Accori sky-high platform heels and gold jewelry courtesy of Alighieri. She wore the barely there look to a London screening of the film, which is out November 24. That same evening, she debuted a very different, though equally perfect ensemble that included a brown, logo-covered Gucci dress and matching cape from the Italian house’s…

November 17, 2021 at 06:30AM A decision on whether or not to get a fringe cut in isn’t something to be taken lightly. Yes fringes can be the perfect way to vamp up a tired style, but it is somewhat of a commitment, especially if you have dedicated time to growing your hair. Being fully on-board with the idea of getting a fringe before you sit down in the salon chair is, if you ask us, absolutely vital if you want to avoid any regret.And this is never truer than it is for those with curly hair. You see, getting a fringe cut into curly strands requires a little more consideration than if hair is straight. Whereas fringes on straight hair are often cut with the hair wet, curly fringes tend to be chopped when the hair is dry in order to take the curl pattern…

November 17, 2021 at 06:25AM It pretty much goes without saying that here at Who What Wear, we like to keep track of seasonal trends. It’s embedded right there in the job description that we know what’s current and are able to spot what’s emerging. While our day-to-day is spent analysing everything that is new and now, we have to admit that there are often seasonal trends that catch our attention more than others. Of course, we’d like to try every trend. Unfortunately, it’s not practical for our wallets or the planet to invest in everything. This is why we tend to prioritise the looks we’ll wear winter after winter, which can take some planning to make sure we consider the gaps in our wardrobes. Individually, each of our editors has a unique personal style and tends to gravitate towards different items (though, we do occasionally…

November 17, 2021 at 06:08AM There’s a big debate about how to wear slouchy jeans—yes, the relaxed style that dominated your teenage wares—and it goes very much like this: Should you wear heels or flats? And as for tops? Some argue that to counteract the looser fit, you should opt for something more fitted to elevate the denim to a more sophisticated look. Others say that you should embrace the slouchy style and choose a chunky knit and trainers.Much like skinny jeans, we imagine that a pair of slouchy blues are lurking in your wardrobe. But thanks to other styles getting more attention (straight legs or cropped flares, for example), perhaps they haven’t been your go-to for some time. But when you look at some recent street style pictures, we’ve noticed other fashion types haven’t been so quick to forget about them, and perhaps it’s high…

November 17, 2021 at 06:07AM If there’s one brand that has been inescapable over the past few years, it's Gucci. Since 2015, under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele, the brand has become one of the hottest fashion houses around. Thanks to Alessandro’s exciting and fresh vision, countless other designers and high-street brands have followed the “edgy grandma from the ‘70s” trend. But the real secret of the fashion house’s success lies in its accessibility. While some opt to wear the brand sunglasses to platforms, others dip a toe in with a bag or a pair of shoes. But one of the easiest ways to get the Gucci look? The now-iconic double-G belt.It has a cool but goes-with-everything-in-your-wardrobe appeal that makes it a must for both diehard fashion lovers and your mum. To keep it interesting, the brand has reimagined the GG belts in different ways—from the classic black, brown and white…

November 17, 2021 at 06:05AM I know from my own experience that planning a wedding can take months. You spend endless hours deciding what your guests are going to eat, what booze they’re going to drink and even which napkins they’ll wipe their mouths on. While this is all important stuff, it doesn’t really compare to deciding on which outfit you’re going to wear.Of course, 2021 (and 2020) had different plans for those who had their weddings coming up, and plenty of nuptials had to be cancelled as a result of the pandemic. But there’s one silver lining I hope I can provide for you. If you’re planning on getting married at some point, then you have more time to decide what you’re going to wear. And if budgets are smaller than you had previously hoped for, then I have good news: High-street wedding dresses look as good as designer ones.With a rise…

November 17, 2021 at 06:04AM There are few people who attend parties and events quite as regularly as celebrities. From red carpet premieres to fancy award season soirees, frequent event attendance is basically written right into the job description. So when it comes to party outfit inspo, who better to turn to than those who dress up as a professional prerequisite?With party season just around the corner (how are we already halfway through November?) I’ve taken it upon myself to scour through recent Getty archives to bring you some of the chicest event outfit formulas out there. Between actresses and models, there is certainly no shortage of stylish looks around and whether you’re partial to a shimmering skirt, or are more fond of tailored separates I’ve found a look for just about every aesthetic. Why not take a leaf out of Zendaya’s book and reinvent the tuxedo…

November 17, 2021 at 06:00AM It’s fair to say that fashion, from its hemlines and silhouettes to its colourways and cuts, is an ever-changing entity. Case in point: This season, after the midi skirt’s long-held reign, the miniskirt made its storming return to the runways of London, Milan, Paris and New York. Riding on the back of the noughties resurgence, floor-skimming hemlines were replaced with thigh-grazing minis in a variety of guises. Some call it fickle, but I like to think of it as keeping things fresh.Of course, this is not a call to dump your fave midi skirt—if that best serves your sartorial needs, then you do you—but for fashion lovers such as myself, clothing is a way to express creativity, and experimenting with new styles is part of that. Plus, many of you may well already have a mini in your wardrobe, so it’s the perfect opportunity to dig it out. After being…
