Who What Wear

November 07, 2021 at 06:30AM When it comes to knowing what to do with our hair, the bun remains our trusty best bud. Whether you want your hair out of your face for productivity reasons, a ponytail just won’t cut it, or you just want to go for a laid-back, chic look, the bun always has your back. And the best bit is, it’s really easy to get right.Unlike so many other up-dos, whether your hair is long or short, a bun looks just as great thrown up half-heartedly as it does when it has been meticulously styled for hours. Hairstylist and founder of his namesake salon at Urban Retreat, Angelo Seminara says, “Buns make for the ultimate low-maintenance, chic hairstyle because they can look ultra-modern. They also suit all hair types and can be styled on freshly washed hair, semi-clean hair, and textured hair.”As champions of the humble…

November 07, 2021 at 06:30AM As far as British perfumeries go, none is more iconic than Jo Malone London.

November 07, 2021 at 06:14AM & Other Stories is a firm favourite with the fashion crowd, and it certainly needs no introduction to readers of Who What Wear UK. However, there’s one section that’s particularly popular with the Instagram set this season: the knitwear. With cropped, colourful cardigans and chunky, oversized cable-knit jumpers, this is arguably the best place on the high street to stock up on your knitwear this season.One Who What Wear staffer is so besotted with her & Other Stories’ mock-neck sweater that she bought it in two colourways, which inspired her friends to do the same. If that’s not good publicity, then we don’t know what is. Highlights for autumn/winter 2021 include a chic wrap cardigan in beige that would look super high-end with flared jeans and a chunky gold necklace and the colour-block wool jumper, which is sure to liven up both tailored trousers and midi skirts.

November 07, 2021 at 06:06AM Boots are always a key investment for this time of year. However, when we spoke to luxury fashion buyers to compile our autumn/winter 2021 trend report, they all stressed how this is the year of the boot. If you are considering purchasing a pair of designer boots, below, we have a guide to the brands we think are really worth investing in.“Boots are a staple for this season,” said Tiffany Hsu, the fashion buying director at MyTheresa. “Carrying on from last year, the utilitarian mood was a favourite in Milan—particularly from the likes of Prada and Miu Miu, which offered full, army-inspired, heavy-duty styles. High combat boots are making a comeback, too, with more and more knee-high, lace-up black boots appearing across the brand board.”If you’re into the chunky-boot trend, then Prada, Proenza Schouler and Bottega Veneta are the brands leading the charge here.

November 07, 2021 at 06:06AM Wedding season might traditionally fall in the summer months, but after years of rescheduled nuptials and diaries filling for next year, wedding guest outfit planning is now pretty much a year-round activity. If you’re on the hunt for some amazing wedding-ready looks, let us narrow things down a little bit for you by sharing the brands that always deliver when it comes to beautiful, but comfortable, occasionwear.Our list includes some labels you’re likely to spot at any British wedding, such as Rixo and Self-Portrait. But we’ve also added some lesser-known names into the mix if you’re hoping to discover something new. This includes The Own Studio, which, despite technically catering to brides and bridesmaids, creates beautiful silk separates in plenty of elegant colours that you can also wear as a guest. We also love Franks and Omnes, two small London…

November 07, 2021 at 06:02AM Knitted co-ords became my new favourite thing last autumn. Pre-styled enough to feel considered and more directional than a mere winter dress but essentially matchy and therefore easy to throw on, this is cosiness combined with being pulled together. These skirt-and-jumper combos always look sophisticated (just make sure they aren’t too clingy), yet they couldn’t be simpler to throw on each morning.So it’s perhaps no surprise, then, that for 2021 (aka the year of the cosy co-ord), this look has been spotted all over Instagram. Last year, it was a khaki roll-neck and midi from ASOS that everyone from Erica Davies to Jessica Skye wore, but this year, there are so many iterations around.Depending on how brave you are, it has to be said that knitted co-ords look best with bare legs. But with the addition of weather-appropriate footwear and making a call on whether you want a…
