Who What Wear

October 20, 2021 at 08:00AM I have to admit I don’t look to celebrities all that often for style guidance. Despite the fact that I love poring over red carpet pictures and I’ll be endlessly enthralled and delighted by what avant-garde A-listers choose to wear for a casual date night (Rihanna, I'm talking about you), in general, I just don't connect with the über-luxury and perfectly styled finish you’ll get from most famous people in the spotlight. However, one actress who always piques my interest is Dakota Johnson. She has a very laid-back approach to dressing for her public appearances, and while she can dial up the va-va-voom for events such as the Venice Film Festival, she’s equally adept at flinging on a cool jacket, a pair of jeans and flat boots—the kind of outfit one could actually re-create quite easily. In the same vein as, say, Kate Moss…

October 20, 2021 at 08:00AM We here at Who What Wear like to talk in great detail (and with much passion!) about our jeans. They are one of the hardest-working items in our wardrobes, after all. We’ve already touched upon the biggest jean trends we’ll all be wearing in 2021—including ‘90s baggy styles, cross-over waistbands and, of course,with wider-leg styles coming back in general, it only makes sense that flares have returned.Yes, friends, the '70s silhouette is back, and we’ve already spotted them on a host of street style leaders (back in September last year, when Fashion Week was still happening) as well as on celebrities such as Katie Holmes. Thanks to designers such as Balmain, Victoria Beckham and Ulla Johnson, leg-lengthening flares are set to be a staple part of our wardrobes this year. And we’ve noticed that fashionable French women, in particular, have been…

October 20, 2021 at 06:35AM After months of wearing vibrant summer dresses and adventurous prints like tie-dye and neon, many of us see autumn as an opportunity for a wardrobe reset. During this time of year, we typically return to back-to-school tailoring, checked prints and a more muted colour palette. Often in autumn, the simplest outfits are the most reliable (especially considering that the weather can dramatically change within hours). We have identified nine basic outfits using a classic capsule—including a trench coat, ankle boots, a cashmere jumper and a heritage blazer—that you can always rely on come autumn and winter.All the items you’ll find in the outfits below can easily be mixed and matched, so you’ll be able to create many different versions of these autumn classics. And basic doesn’t have to be boring. You can mix brighter colours with the autumn-leaf colour wheel that has dominated…

October 20, 2021 at 06:10AM It’s official: Autumn is here. Leaves are turning delightful colours, and there’s pumpkin carving and even talk of party season approaching. However, there’s another important matter we have to address. Now that it’s colder, with temps always hitting the low-to-mid teens, what do you wear in 15-degree weather? Luckily, we’ve sorted through some key pieces to have on standby to help answer that major question.Fifteen degrees might seem chilly, but it’s actually a pretty comfortable temperature—not too hot but not too cold. Still, this indeterminate forecast is difficult to dress for. Wear too thick a knit and you’ll feel flushed, but breezy, lightweight textures like linen might feel too cool on their own. To help you assemble outfits to suit a temperature drop, we’ve rounded up nine foolproof suggestions from some of our favourite influencers, who seem to have the art of transseasonal dressing down.With everything from…

October 20, 2021 at 06:08AM As far as winter outfits go, there’s nothing quite as effective as the humble coat-and-boots combo. Simple though it may sound, the right pairing can see you through the frosty winter months whilst still feeling like you’ve got your finger on the fashion pulse. Whether it’s this season’s favourite chunky-sole boots and a checked coat for weekend walks or knee highs with a vinyl trench for when you’re feeling a little fancier, this easy formula is your best friend for every cold-weather occasion.If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably already been relying on this duo every winter, adding and taking away scarves and knits as the weather fluctuates. Turns out that influencers aren’t any different. We can’t help but notice so many excellent combinations on our Instagram feeds, and who can blame them?  Okay, so it’s not the most groundbreaking look of…

October 20, 2021 at 06:06AM As the daily decision of going bare-legged and coat-free versus dusting off our trusty opaques and grabbing a cosy cover-up becomes ever more apparent (along with the contents of our handbag expanding to fit an umbrella, sunglasses and an extra emergency layer), it’s no surprise that we all feel slightly confused during the autumn/winter season. This seems to be the case with dresses, too.Can we still wear them? How do we wear them? And most importantly, which ones actually look good with tights? Now that our summer dresses are firmly in their vacuum bags, it’s time to think about the ones that will tick all the boxes. With my help, you can find a frock that'll keep you feeling both chic and cosy during the chilly British winter. From COS's must-have knit dress to Nanushka's leather number, these are the dresses to buy now and wear until spring.Wear with a pair…

October 20, 2021 at 06:00AM When it comes to party dressing, it’s best to not leave jewellery as an afterthought. The right necklace or earrings can totally transform an outfit and can be the perfect way to make that little black dress you’ve been wearing every Christmas feel a little more special. The pieces we’ve found are so spectacular that you may want to plan your entire outfit around these alone.In particular, we love Missoma and Harris Reed’s statement cocktail rings with a chunky pearl pendant, Alighieri’s pearl drop earrings and the chunky gold chains from Susan Caplan Vintage. When it comes to trends, the general rule for this time of year is the more crystals and sparkle, the better. The aim is to outshine your Christmas tree.
