Who What Wear

October 26, 2021 at 10:56AM There’s almost nothing we love more than a designer sale drop—especially when the edit is filled with time-tested high-end gems. In case you didn’t know, The Outnet’s massive sale is here, and there's up to 80% off. So, yes, it’s a particularly joyous day here at Who What Wear UK.We know from our inside sources that the majority of pieces in the discounted edit have such a low depth of stock that it’s common to only find one of each piece (that’s one of each piece, people). To help you find the best pieces first, we have combed through the lot to bring you the best of the bunch, with plenty of key pieces for the rest of 2021 and beyond.However, this clearance is arguably best for wardrobe staples. Highlights include Joseph’s speckled knit, Aquazzura’s knee-high boots and a perfect pair of straight leg jeans…

October 26, 2021 at 08:00AM Everyone deserves a beauty editor in their group chat for on-the-go questions on everything from the best concealer to where to go for a manicure that’ll last beyond the weekend. With the enviable job of testing and reviewing a seemingly endless supply of beauty products, they’re the best bet for product recommendations. The downside? When you’ve got every beauty brand in the world at your disposal, that often equates to using products that have a whole lot of numbers succeeding the pound sign. So we decided to have a chat with the beauty editors we have on speed dial to find out what affordable beauty products they use that rival the expensive ones out there. Keep scrolling to find the editor-approved affordable buys that you need to add to your routine. “I have a real body lotion aversion. I can’t stand the cold, so hopping round a…

October 26, 2021 at 08:00AM It might only be the first week of September and, yes, summer wares may still line the shelves of our favourite high street stores, but we can’t help but notice that the new-in sections are slowly but surely being infiltrated by autumn pieces—from trans-seasonal jackets to sturdy boots—and we’re not going to lie, we’re pretty excited about it.There are a few colours that inevitably dominate every single autumn, however, there are some new additions that are set to make a splash this September. While last year everyone lost it over browns and khakis, this year it’s more about colour binaries: think lime green rubbing shoulders with burnt orange, and pale beige put into relief by fashion editor black (yes we know it’s not technically a colour but… fashion).Of course, we don’t like to be too prescriptive about these things, but if you think about it, giving a nod to a new season hue…

October 26, 2021 at 08:00AM I am not what most would define as a makeup wearer. As a beauty journalist whose job is to trial and test all of the new makeup launches, I’d go as far as to say that makeup for me is strictly a work thing. Spending my days swatching, buffing and blending means that when it comes to non-work hours, I’d rather let my skin do its thing and avoid the laborious task of applying makeup altogether.Instead, I prefer to select my morning skincare products carefully. I look for cleansers that deliver an instant glow boost, SPFs that come with subtle blurring benefits and, most importantly, serums that leave my complexion looking plump, healthy and radiant. And I say serums are the most important part of my morning skincare routine because it is through the wonders of serums that my skin gets…

October 26, 2021 at 08:00AM The moment I saw Who What Wear's Emma Spedding in Marks and Spencer’s cleated black boots, I knew that she had stumbled across a real high-street gem. Coming in this season’s trending chunky-sole-meets-knee-high silhouette, the boots give designer iterations a real run for their money. It was then that I started to spot similar styles across the board, but there were two other pairs, in particular, that caught my eye: one from Arket and the other from H&M. Spedding wearing Marks and Spencer Chunky Cleated Knee High Boots (£50).All coming in black and with comfy flat soles, they instantly sparked inspiration for my autumn outfits. While the style looks undeniably cool with Emma’s pink minidress, I can imagine all three looking so chic with black leggings and a belted oversized blazer. They would also pair nicely with a longer dress, perhaps in a knitted fabric. After all, this boot style is ideal…

October 26, 2021 at 06:00AM There are hundreds of thousands of influencers in the social ether, but there are only a handful who we religiously stalk in order to virtually steal the clothes off their backs. Our primary target is Monikh—the London-based styling and shopping guru who seeks out the very coolest buys from every corner of the retail world. From her inspiring tips on rewearing her well-chosen investment items to hunting down the coolest high-street pieces, her Instagram feed, @monikh, and website are a veritable hotbed of things you’re going to want to purchase immediately (and will never regret). Each month, Monikh will share her new picks exclusively for you…With autumn now in full swing, it’s time to delve into the world of chunky knits, boots, jackets, oversized bags and lots and lots of layered textures. With my obsession for all things minimal,…

October 26, 2021 at 06:00AM It would ordinarily seem strange to talk about Christmas at this time of year but we think you’ll forgive us for getting ahead of ourselves once we reveal the subject at hand. Beauty advent calendars have grown in popularity over the last few years and for many brands, including Net-A-Porter, Liberty, Elemis and Cult Beauty, the beauty advent calendar has become one of their most in-demand launches. Most beauty advent calendars tend to sell out within hours of their release, so it makes sense that brands are now providing us with information on the covetable beauty buy well in advance of the on-sale date; and that’s precisely what happened this week when our inboxes started to fill with imagery and press releases from some of our favourite brands, each pertaining to their beauty advent calendar offering. With so many to choose from,…

October 26, 2021 at 06:00AM We’re into that funny time of year where it’s not quite warm per se, and it’s not quite layering up for winter time. Autumn, that’ll be it. And although we love this season for the leaves (the leaves!), it can be a difficult one to dress for. Transitional, in-betweeny seasons always are, but let’s look at the positives: it’s the perfect temperature for wearing a blazer without a coat on top, you can still wear a dress with chunky boots and no tights, and if you go out for the evening you can get away with a slinky outfit (and maybe a leather jacket) without the risk of freezing.Luckily Nasty Gal has just launched a new drop of transitional pieces; it’s as if they knew we were in need of inspiration. There’s a healthy dose of ‘autumn cosy’– including some…

October 26, 2021 at 06:00AM A good coat is the very core of any fashion person’s cold-weather wardrobe and can last for years, if not decades. That sounds like a pressurising task, but the truth is our team is currently narrowing down our own extensive coat-shopping lists to secure The One, and many of us here at Who What Wear UK are finding that our top choices for 2021 are quickly selling out. We’ve cut through to the bigggest breakout coat trends as seen on the runways and shopped out the styles so that you can nail the look before everyone else. From quilted styles to camel coats, there are so many to choose from, and we guarantee you’ll find your new favourite. There’s no rule that one coat style alone provides nowness—the outerwear world is your oyster right now. So go forth and find the style that feels most suited to you, and be the…

October 26, 2021 at 06:00AM When it comes to Christmas festivities, there tend to be two distinct camps of people: those who play Mariah Carey on repeat starting in September and those who don’t want to hear the “C-word” until Advent. This year, those in the former want some festive cheer earlier than ever. It’s admittedly too early to put up a tree just yet, but we can get into the spirit by doing some holiday shopping.So if you’re ready to tuck into mince pies and start watching Home Alone, keep scrolling to see the chicest Christmas decorations I’ve found that are so beautiful you’ll want to put them up already. And with rapid delivery times on many of these items, you could turn your bedroom into a chic ski lodge in no time. And you’ll get absolutely no judgment from me. If you like to…
