Who What Wear

October 31, 2021 at 10:00AM It might have just turned November, but as it’s our job to keep on the cutting edge of all things trend-related, we wanted to tell you about the jacket that has already taken over Instagram this winter. Bravo, The Frankie Shop. You’ve only gone and created another cult cold-weather buy in the form of your Quilted Ripstock Jacket. Naturally, the style sold out at record speed, but we are happy to report that it’s finally back in two new chic colourways. And now, there’s another Frankie Shop style to choose from, too—the Teddy, which features the same statement quilting and large pockets as the Ripstop but with upgrades including contrasting plackets.Inspired by traditional army surplus liner jackets and coming in stylish shades of black, brown and white, this outwear gem is essentially a streamlined version of your trusty winter puffer. With a collarless neckline and…

October 31, 2021 at 06:07AM You might wish to remain in denial, but winter is coming, and as the saying goes, if you fail to prepare, then you need to be prepared to fail. You can apply this sentiment to many things in life, and your wardrobe is undoubtedly one of them. Before you know it, temperatures will plummet to single digits, and the last thing you want is to be caught out when they do. This is why I’ve taken time out to assemble an edit of non-negotiable and totally classic winter basics for you, to ensure you’re well and truly ready for the colder months. When it comes to a winning marriage of chic and cosy, nothing beats these classic winter basics. Sure, you might already have some of these pieces hanging in your closet or lurking in your drawers, but that’s the beauty of…

October 31, 2021 at 06:04AM You may recall that about a month ago, Meghan Markle descended upon NYC. And just like the old days, everyone lost it over everything she wore. One of those outfits was completely trend-free. She doesn’t live a trend-free life, but this particular outfit was as classic as it gets. And it got us thinking about trend-free outfits in general.Sometimes you just want to keep it simple and classic. Celebs clearly feel the same, as there are lots of trend-free celeb outfit examples out there in addition to Markle. But as a disclaimer, we agree that some of the outfits below contain some trendy elements (like Mindy Kaling’s sparkly Area sweatshirt), but you can easily swap those items out for something even more simple. Scroll on for everything you need to create eight easy, trend-free outfits.Angelina Jolie is a pro at…

October 31, 2021 at 06:00AM If you’ve ever dealt with dark circles under your eyes, you know the struggle is real. It’s hard to mask the darkness in a way that looks natural and flawless. The trick here, though, is to find the right product—and that’s where colour correctors come in.“When you don’t want to cake on concealer to cover dark circles, colour correcting will be your best friend,” explains makeup artist and groomer Janice Kinjo, whose clients include Mindy Kaling, Uzo Aduba and Gabrielle Union. “It is a way to instantly neutralise discolouration, dark circles, and blemish marks underneath your foundation/concealer.”You might think that colour correctors and concealers are one and the same (I used to think they were interchangeable), but they’re two very different products. “Concealers are significantly different than colour correctors,” says makeup artist Gina Brooke, whose clients include Cate Blanchett,…

October 31, 2021 at 06:00AM Whether you’re a shoe hoarder or a jacket fanatic, a dress lover or a bag obsessive, it’s safe to say that there is an independent brand to cater to your wardrobe needs.Thanks to word of mouth and the power of social media, theever-diversifying fashion industry is finally allowing niche labels to come to the fore. Big brands don’t have a monopoly over the landscape, as many customers want to invest in original design and lesser-known styles.  Sadly, many of these labels have been hit by the global pandemic, and as a publication, we’re doing our very best to support the talent we love in any way possible. That’s why we’ve dedicated our end-of-month shopping gallery to these independent brands. Honestly, we were spoilt for choice, and we wish we could include every brand we came across online (although, that would turn into a long article), but we managed to whittle it down…

October 30, 2021 at 06:09AM We’re at that in-between stage when summer’s most reliable shoes are well and truly redundant (so long, Tevas!) but there are days when a snug pair of boots feels a little OTT. What’s the solution? Well, just ask Kendall Jenner and Katie Holmes for autumnal fashion advice because they have both landed on the same pair of high-street flats and seem pretty pleased about it. Vagabond, in case you don’t know already, is a Swedish shoe label that specialises in trend-hitting silhouettes that influencers and celebrities gravitate towards because more often than not they’re super practical and low-key. Chunky flats—whether loafer, brogue or boot—are their signature, but it’s one particular pair, called the Cosmo 2.0, that has proven to be the biggest hit. And when you realise that this elite crowd is side-stepping their more expensive options in favour of a £110 pair…

October 30, 2021 at 06:03AM For the longest time, I only had eyes for block-heel ankle boots; no other boot style got a look in. However, a few years ago, I invested in the first knee-high boots I’d had since my teens, and they were a game changer. Aside from jeans, I very rarely wear trousers. Nine times out of 10, you’ll catch me wearing a midi dress. And after years of enduring chilly calves and not-quite-right hemlines and boot heights, knee boots swooped in and made every outfit (read: dress) I wore so much chicer and more put-together.Fast-forward to 2021, and I currently have four pairs of knee-high boots in my footwear rotation: an on-trend chunky pair from M&S, which I bought as soon as I saw them on editor Emma Spedding; a beige suede option from Sézane, which I invested in hoping it would make…
