Who What Wear

November 09, 2021 at 06:06AM If there’s anyone who has mastered the art of wardrobe basics, it’s Zoë Kravitz. The actress has been on my Pinterest boards and Tumblr mood boards for as long as I’ve been interested in celebrity style, and I’ve yet to tire of her simple yet effortlessly cool outfits. If you’ve been keeping up with all things Kravitz, you’d know that she’s been stepping out in New York (with boyfriend Channing Tatum, no less) in outfits that have been making the internet lose its mind—this editor included.While 2021 Zoë Kravitz is a total vibe, taking a look at her recent street style has inspired me to do a deep dive into the archives of some of her all-time best ensembles. After spending the morning going through tonnes of street style imagery, I’ve decided that, in order to emulate her incredibly simple yet chic aesthetic, I need…

November 09, 2021 at 06:05AM If there’s one boot trend I’m excited for this autumn it’s a style that manages to walk that tricky tightrope between casual and sophisticated. This magical trend is at once super-smart (and therefore a refreshing break from stompy track-soles, even though I’ll still keep going back them, LBH) and yet still not so OTT or uncomfortable that I’ll have to compromise on ease or daily wear opportunities. Enter, the kitten-heel, pull-on, knee-high boots that will make every outfit feel a little more elevated with very little effort. I’m a big knee-high boot fan in general, so it didn’t take much persuading, but many in my existing wintry collection are very high of heel. After more than 18 months in the comfiest of flats, it’s hard to know whether I’ll ever shift back into full-on stilettos or platforms on a regular basis, but a lower lift…

November 09, 2021 at 05:00AM Have we always been obsessed with knitwear? I’m not sure we have. Looking back at the biggest fashions over the past few decades, there isn’t really much about the humble jumper or even cardi, save that moment in the ‘90s with the grunge cardi. But—and I’m going to put my stake in the ground here—we’re living in the days of great knitwear. A golden era, if you will. This vital part of our wardrobes, especially for those of us living in the northern hemisphere, has been turned from just a cosy item that keeps us warm to a real fashion statement. And how do we know this exactly? By working on the front line of trends and fashion, of course. Over the past few years at Who What Wear, we’ve seen an incredibly high interest in particular items…

November 08, 2021 at 12:19PM There’s nothing that makes me quite as excited as the discovery of an affordable item that could easily pass as designer. This season, this moment came in the form of a jumper courtesy of high-street stalwart Marks and Spencer. Of course, good ol’ M&S has always been prized for its cashmere offering, but when I saw this particular striking ombre number, I couldn’t help but yelp with excitement. (It’s my job, okay?) Naturally it sold out within a week, but we’re happy to announce that it’s finally back in stock!Coming in a statement-making shade of red with a classic crew-neck silhouette, this jumper just feels so premium. Perhaps it’s the fact that it’s impactful without being obviously “trend-led,” and the cashmere fabric makes it feel undeniably luxurious. I also think it’s the sort of style that will look good for many seasons to come.Both WWW editor…

November 08, 2021 at 08:00AM As part of what we’re calling “the great shrinkage,” designers have been debuting looks that are getting skimpier and skimpier. The S/S 22 runways were no exception, where “floss” fashion was in full focus stringy dresses and tops with barely there floss-like straps. Yep, things are about to get even more naked come next year.The “floss” trend has been gaining more and more traction off the runways as well recently, with brands like Nensi Dojaka really putting the micro-trend on the map with their signature tiny strap dresses. Their pieces have carved themselves out as one of the cult buys among fashion insiders in 2021.It looks like the micro-trend has a long life beyond this season, with designers including Balmain and Sid Neigum embracing the trend. Whether you opt for a micro mini or a slip skirt with G-string details,…

November 08, 2021 at 08:00AM Skincare can be really expensive. In fact, I’m kind of fed up of tip-toeing around the fact that in so many cases, we’re all being painfully overcharged for certain skincare products. Brands know all too well the price that we’re willing to pay for great skin, and they’re not afraid to take advantage of it. However, as our skincare priorities have shifted, not only are brands charging obscene amounts of money for efficacious products, but they’re also driving up prices on products that look more aesthetically pleasing. As a result of this, it’s safe to say that when it comes to skincare, price does not always reflect quality.So when a no-frills product range comes along that doesn’t have a gimmicky name, doesn’t come housed in Instagram-worthy bottles and generally lacks fancies, it can be very easy for it…

November 08, 2021 at 08:00AM What makes a wedding dress suitable for autumn is ultimately down to your personal preference and what your overall wedding day looks like. Although I was an August bride, my wedding took place in my Scottish coastal hometown, so, erring on the side of caution, I chose a fitted dress to minimise the chill. Though it was sleeveless, I was prepared for what the enviable chilly downpour that ensued thanks to a beautiful, ecru leather jacket I bought on a whim just the week before. And I’m so glad I did, as I barely took to it off.I don’t think a bride should let the elements determine what they wear on their wedding day. I’ve had friends get married on snowy December days in strapless gowns that still look the beautiful part, but the season is something worth bearing in mind…

November 08, 2021 at 08:00AM Before we get into this, we would like to preface this article by saying that no one needs to spend loads of money on skincare. When it comes to skincare, pricier doesn’t always mean better. You can get great skincare products for less than a tenner that will help get your skin on track and keep it looking as healthy as possible. With that being said, some of the best skincare products out there do come with hefty price tags, but an eye-watering price doesn’t necessarily mean you’re being ripped off. You see, when we’re talking about highly specialised ingredients, formulating a great product that actually works requires huge amounts of research, resources and knowledge, and that takes cash. One of the most highly regarded skincare brands to fall into this super-luxe, super-efficacious category is Dr. Barbara Sturm.Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a…
