Who What Wear

April 07, 2022 at 06:00AM As much as I love beauty, I’m also the laziest person when it comes to my makeup application. I am all about that easy, low maintenance look, which I’m sure is just a cover for my unwillingness to engage in a beauty routine that will take me any longer than five minutes. One step I was adamant not to include in my routine was a primer. I have always passed it off as an extra step, one I did not have the time for. No matter the results, primer was never a precursor to my makeup routine. Well, that was until I tried the Kjaer Weis’ The Beautiful Primer. Brand founder and makeup artist Kirsten Kjaer Weis says “The right primer makes an impact. We didn’t want to create an extra step, but rather something that would enhance your routine’’. I…

April 07, 2022 at 05:30AM These days, if I actually purchase something, it’s usually Monikh’s fault. The London-based influencer just has a knack for hunting down truly useful, chic, ultra-versatile items that go the distance. When you see her wearing them in person (or on Instagram), it’s hard not to want her chosen edit for yourself. When so much of social media involves products being forced upon us through sponsored content, it makes us WWW editors all the more determined to pinpoint the items our fashion friends and readers are genuinely buying for no other reason than they are bloody great. That’s how we first discovered the most perfect throw-on dress, anyway. Our editor-in-chief Hannah Almassi spent time with Monikh on a press trip a few years back, saw her wearing a slouchy but chic ribbed dress from Baserange and the rest, as they say, is history. Hannah and three other…

April 06, 2022 at 08:00AM There are some items in fashion that transcend all trends, eras and personal styles— a trench coat is one of them. Like a good breton, Gucci loafer or Chanel handbag, a classic trench remains one of those perennial wardrobe pieces that doesn’t age— one we reach for every year to elevate all our outfits. Purchase the perfect style and you’ll turn to it again and again. I personally wear my favourite trench year round, layering and de-layering as necessary. They truly shine in spring, though, when you’re desperate to wave goodbye to your wool coats for another year, but the transitional weather still calls for some protection from a cool breeze (or flurry of snow if this spring has anything to do with it). Abi wears a Karen Millen trench. Turn up to any fashion event in April and I…

April 06, 2022 at 08:00AM I don’t like to admit this considering it’s my job to recommend skincare, but I’m feeling in an honest mood—so here goes. It is surprisingly difficult to find a skincare brand that delivers products that actually do what they promise. It’s not that skincare doesn’t work; it’s more that skincare brands have a tendency to massively over-egg the capabilities of their products. One brand that I can hand-on-heart say never does this, however, is Kate Somerville.The aesthetician founded her namesake brand after her post-procedure facial services became A-lister favourites. Celebrities such as Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Olivia Wilde, Eva Mendes, Demi Moore, Lucy Hale and Paris Hilton are all touted as fans and have visited her LA-based clinic. Meghan Markle is even reported to be a fan. In fact, there is barely a celeb in LA that doesn’t have Somerville…

April 06, 2022 at 08:00AM After months of dreary weather and dark mornings, it’s natural to be excited about spring’s arrival. However, as much as we look forward to the start of the new season, adjusting your wardrobe to accommodate the unpredictable forecasts in March and April can be tricky. There’s more to assembling your spring outfits than you might think. There’s a whole host of new trends to consider, and it’s important to get the balance of being warm but not swamped under thick layers just right.So I am here to help you streamline this process by presenting you with the pieces my knowledgeable colleagues and I consider to be the most versatile and classic spring fashion items you can own. Essentials, go-tos, wardrobe fail-safes—whatever you want to call them, these 12 timeless spring pieces will be the unshakable foundations of any…

April 06, 2022 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…

April 06, 2022 at 08:00AM Twenty twenty-two is already proving to be the year of the trouser. Tailored and slouchy, cargo, low-rise, leather… You name it; people want to wear it. But one shape, in particular, is pulling ahead as the most popular trouser trend, and it’s unsurprising, really. Wide-leg trousers are the smart yet relaxed staple everyone from celebrities to our favourite influencers is wearing right now, and when you consider they’re comfy, chic and a really easy way to make an outfit look polished, it totally makes sense. They’ve quickly become one of our most-wanted categories on Who What Wear, and all our friends—fashion or not—are asking us where to find the best ones. It helps that they’re extremely versatile. Trainers, boots, loafers—they all go with wide-legs, and since they’re inherently smart, you can pair them with any of the above, and they work for…

April 06, 2022 at 08:00AM I don’t know about you, but the past year has felt long. I’ve got more grey hair and more wrinkles, and despite going to bed earlier, I’m still tired. There’s no denying that I’ve felt like I’ve aged faster in lockdown. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with this (I have no issues with changing hair colour or a few lines on my face), the speed at which it has happened has been a little disconcerting. I want to feel like myself again, and for me, that means getting a haircut. Over the past few months, I’ve lost count of the number of people who have said their hair needs cutting, from my husband to my colleagues as well as my parents. The craving to get a chop has been strong. Personally, I’m desperate to get my hair cut back into a…

April 06, 2022 at 06:37AM It bags may come and go, but when buying a designer handbag and parting with such a significant amount of money, you want to be certain that it’s something that is truly deserving of the title of "investment piece.“ This is an item that you want to have by your side for years, if not decades. Yes, love is a big part of it, but this is also a purchase that requires a certain amount of research and consideration. There are certain heritage houses that are known to hold their value but that also create timeless, beautiful designs that ensure their key styles are continued for decades. Gucci is one of these very labels. Looking through a Gucci collection is like diving into an eclectic dressing-up box—you’re met with more crystals, bold colours, wacky prints and feathers than you’d see at an Elton John…
