Who What Wear

October 19, 2021 at 06:00AM Slogan jumpers don’t ever really go out of fashion. While there are definitely quiet moments for this item of clothing, they always have a place in our wardrobes. The beauty about these pieces is that you can wear them with your gym kit and jeans as well as with smarter pieces such as pencil skirts and tailored trousers. They make outfits more fun and add some personality to an ensemble. Even better news is that both high-street and designer brands stock these pieces. Whether it’s the classic slogan knit from Bella Freud (of which there are plenty to choose from) or the chic versions from Whistles, there are various versions that we love. Keep scrolling to shop our edit of the best slogan jumpers right now. Style Notes: Emili Sindlev proves how chic a slogan jumper can look by pairing hers…

October 19, 2021 at 06:00AM It takes something significantly special to lull the entire Who What Wear UK team into an awestruck silence, but that’s precisely what happens when the annual Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar arrives at our office. And while we may not have been able to gather around and collectively open each enticing drawer to see what’s inside this year, that doesn’t mean we weren’t as impressed with Liberty’s Beauty Advent Calendar as we’ve been in years gone by. In fact, it just might be the best one yet. Launching today, Liberty’s calendar will set you back a cool £225. However, considering it contains £844 worth of the most sought-after products from its iconic Beauty Hall, we think the splurge is well worth the return. You’ll have to be lightning-quick, though, as the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar has a track record of selling out fast. In fact,…

October 19, 2021 at 06:00AM There’s a lot to consider when selecting the right nail polish. Does it complement your skin tone? Is it versatile enough to wear with your favourite clothes? Does it look cheap? While it’s typically pretty simple to answer all these questions ourselves, there’s also a very stylish crew we can look to for nail inspiration: the fashion set.This flock of street style models, bloggers, and cool girls are not only clued in to the most of-the-moment sartorial selections, but they’ve also got a finger on the pulse of the prettiest and often most unexpected nail colours out there. They’ve got eyes for aesthetics, after all, so it makes perfect sense that such good taste would extend to the tips of their fingers.Consider this your go-to guide of polishes you’ve been overlooking, and check out the 16 pretty nail colors…

October 19, 2021 at 06:00AM If the last few weeks of fashion month have shown us anything, it’s that street style has become the stage from which trends are formed, and the fashion zeitgeist is measured. While models walk the runways wearing pieces from big-name designers, often it’s the editors and influencers outside the shows drawing the paparazzi’s lenses.With fashion month finished for another season, we’ve been reflecting on the spectacle and analysing the goings-on from the street. And while there are plenty of looks to try, first, we have to tell you about the rainbow of trending colours we noticed cropping up again and again outside of the shows. This list is undoubtedly the easiest way to assimilate to the upcoming trends, and we can guarantee you have at least one item in your wardrobe that will help you re-create the below outfits. And should you not, we’ve found the best…

October 19, 2021 at 06:00AM Damn right I’d like a Max Mara coat, some Paris Texas knee-high boots, a printed dress from Prada and that new Bottega Veneta clutch this season, but in reality, my autumn shopping budget doesn’t look like it’ll stretch that much. I’ll always advocate saving up for a dream investment piece (and any of the above suggestions last year after year, no matter the trends), but the same kind of thinking can also be applied to high street or more affordable fashions when you want to upgrade and breathe new life into your existing wardrobe.So if you’re looking for a little autumn/winter 2021 vibe, rest assured you don’t have to spend a fortune, but you should still spend wisely. Try to seek out pieces that feel like they’ll work with what you already have nestled away in the depths of your closet.…

October 19, 2021 at 06:00AM If you haven’t tried Heist’s lingerie, shapewear or tights before, you haven’t lived. OK, maybe that’s a bit dramatic but seriously, if you wear underwear, where’ve you been? All we can say is that you’re about to be incredibly thankful for us bringing this ‘foundation-wear’ brand into your life. And if you’re already a big fan, well then you’ll know what we’re talking about. Our editors have been recommending Heist’s no-sag, no-roll, very-hard-to-ladder hosiery since the brand launched in 2015 with just a few perfectly formed pairs on offer. The tight edit (get it?) was aimed at disrupting a rather uninspiring industry, and since then Heist has been taking the same approach to lingerie and shapewear with great success. They’ve now expanded the collection, slowly but surely to make sure everything is technologically perfect, to include not just functional but…

October 18, 2021 at 12:17PM Typically the jewellery you see on the red carpet is so eye-wateringly expensive that Hollywood celebrities borrow them for a strict number of hours, and it comes with security to stand on guard. Last night Emma Watson attended her first red carpet event in two years, for the Earthshot Prize ceremony in London, and she wore jewellery from Missoma that we can actually buy. Emma has long been a champion of sustainable fashion, and so it’s not a surprise given the event, that her red carpet look had a very considered message.She turned to London designer Harris Reed, who only graduated from Central Saint Martins last year and is one of the most talked-about names in fashion thanks to his magical gender-fluid designs. She wore a dress from his spring summer 2022 collection in which he upcycled secondhand wedding dresses and…

October 18, 2021 at 08:00AM If you have fine hair, you’ve probably gone through your fair share of dry shampoo, fringes sticking to your face, and curls that fall out within minutes. Styling fine hair and experimenting with cuts in the search for volume can often be tricky to master. Going for the crop or styling your already-short hair might be all you need to do to work with the texture that you’ve got. Short hair means volume, and that’s always what we’re going for, right? Thanks to some expert advice from Michael Lendon, creative director of Aveda, and Christel Lundqvist, founder of Stil Salon, we’ve got some pro tips for you to implement. Combine that with the best product picks for adding volume and texture, and you’ll be well on your way to finding the best hairstyle to make your routine easier. Ready for some style inspiration?

October 18, 2021 at 08:00AM Think back to the late ‘90s. We watched Friends religiously, Green Day T-shirts were all the rage, nu-metal culture was on the rise, shoes came in the form of Etnies or DCs and you couldn’t move for the amount of Dickies and Carhartt being worn by the nation’s teenagers. Today, however, I want to talk about the '90s jeans we all wore. From my memory, the predominant look was an ultra-baggy style that had to be so long and loose they soaked up any amount of water on the floor. If it rained, you would inadvertently end up with a pair of two-tone jeans. And much like other Y2K trends, these trousers are back. Right now, one pair in question is incredibly popular: Weekday’s Rail Mid Loose Straight Jeans. It’s easy to see why—these are classic '90s baggy jeans with a lowish waist…

October 18, 2021 at 08:00AM I have a confession to make: I don’t use retinol. (Cue the gasps and the “quelle horreur!”) Trust me, as a beauty journalist, I get a lot of stick for this from my peers, but I stand by my position. You see, my skin is temperamental at its best and downright angry at its worst. It’s oily, congested and spot-prone, making it the ideal subject for retinol. But my skin is also very reactive and sensitive, meaning even one wrong application will inevitably leave it upset for weeks. So for the most part, I’ve steered clear of retinol and have been happy enough to do so.Having said that, I have always wondered what my skin could look like should I ever stumble across the perfect retinol formula. I can’t deny the science: retinol is proven to be the most effective ingredient in skincare. And a…
