Who What Wear

October 08, 2021 at 08:00AM There’s a guaranteed quick fix for switching up your look and it involves your nails. While changing hair colours or opting for a crop is the definition of “new year, new me” vibes; going for a new nail look is way more accessible. Trends come and go but we’re super into the nail trends making their way into our beauty routines in 2021.

October 08, 2021 at 08:00AM If you’d have asked me this time last year what my desert-island makeup product would be, blusher wouldn’t have even made the top 10. In fact, I think I probably only had one blusher in my otherwise excessive makeup stash. You see, I have always championed a streamlined, simple routine. As far as I was concerned, all I needed for my daily routine was a hefty layer of concealer, some bronzer and maybe a quick coat of mascara on my lashes. Anything else was just added faff that I couldn’t be bothered with.But then, a cream blusher came my way, and everything changed. I realised that the thing that stressed me out about blusher the most was the application process. With powder formulas, it’s all too easy to make mistakes, from applying too much to getting it in the wrong place. However,…

October 08, 2021 at 08:00AM From bobs and lobs to braids and full fringes, there are so many amazing hairstyles out there that it can be hard to know where to start if you’re looking for a little pre-salon inspiration. So here’s my suggestion: the A-list. With access to top hairstylists and trending hair products, celebs are constantly stepping out in hairstyles that give me major strand envy. But by switching up their hair as often as we change our t-shirts, choosing a favourite style can lead to an inevitable fall down an Instagram rabbit hole.To make things easier for you, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite celebrity hairstyles ever—37 to be precise—to make your next trip to the hairdresser a little easier.Keep scrolling for the best celebrity hairstyles.Alexa's classic lob hairstyle is a trademark in its own right, and I’d hazard a guess that…

October 08, 2021 at 08:00AM Is there anything more classic than a humble pair of jeans? Personally, I’d say no. The timeless item finds a home in just about everyone’s wardrobe, in every corner of the globe, regardless of age or gender.Of course, when an item is as versatile as a pair of jeans, there are about a thousand different ways you can style them, dressing them up or down depending on the event or occasion. Today, however, I’m here to talk about the way you style jeans with shoes.I don’t know about you, but when it comes to styling inspiration, I always like to look to street style imagery, and luckily, in recent times, showgoers have offered up a plethora of outfit ideas. Each season, the fashion set takes to the streets in jeans of every shade and silhouette—be it indigo straight-leg pairs…

October 08, 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 08, 2021 at 07:08AM Now that both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have resumed working following a summer break, you can expect to see a lot of stellar autumn outfits very soon. However, stellar doesn’t have to translate as brand new. Since the Duchess of Cambridge tends to stick to her signature personal style and rely upon classic wardrobe staples she already owns, we have a feeling she’ll be bringing back all of her favourite trends from seasons past. In fact, today she stepped out in a checked pleated midi dress that we’ve seen before.Another good example? She already resurrected an old, reliable pair of See by Chloé lace-up boots for a function this month—further proof that decent footwear choices do last. She also brings back one specific jacket style every autumn as well as a functional, sporty piece that’s very versatile for literally anyone’s winter wardrobe, royal or not.…

October 08, 2021 at 06:27AM Last year, I wrote about how Net-a-Porter is one of my secret sources of outfit inspiration. It sounds so obvious, and, well, that’s because it is, but I’d bet that most people wouldn’t have considered it for this purpose. However, it isn’t only the designer destinations that are acing it—the other platform that never fails to spark my imagination is Zara.In my opinion, Zara is one of the brands that top the high-street hierarchy when it comes to autumn fashion, and this is reflected in the way it styles its designs. Obviously, not every single model shot is a work of art, but I find that more often than not, when an item catches my eye, I also fall in love with the outfit. They tread the line between wearable and statement so well.Don’t believe me? I did a bit…

October 08, 2021 at 06:10AM If there was a prize for the jacket trend that has been given the most airtime over the last two years, it would have to go to the blazer. As someone who has around five currently sitting in my wardrobe, I can attest to its versatility, timelessness and easiness. With its boxy fit and premium-feel fabric, my Arket wool blazer is a personal highlight, and it seems as though I am not alone in my love for this particular piece, as I’ve spotted it on countless fashionable faces on Instagram.Coming in a handful of cool colourways—black, navy, beige, burgundy, chocolate brown and an unexpected shot of pink—this blazer has certainly earned its reputation for being a classic wardrobe staple. A popular styling hack is to add it to jeans and a tee, but I have also seen it worn with colour-match trousers for a polished…

October 08, 2021 at 06:08AM I recently bought a knitted midi dress—a cream cardigan-type style with tortoiseshell buttons and a surprisingly flattering V-neck—and I’ve been excited to wear it. Its arrival was perfectly timed with the current cold snap, so as soon as it arrived, I stood in front of the mirror, tried it on and knew it was going to be my autumn hero piece. All that was left to do was decide which shoes to wear with it.Throwing open my wardrobe drawers, I assumed finding the perfect pair of shoes to match my knitted dress would be an easy endeavour. However, as I started trying it on with my block-heel slingbacks and trusty ballet pumps, I encountered an unexpected stumbling block. They just didn’t seem to work.The length of the dress and its weighty fabrication meant that many of my shoes,…

October 08, 2021 at 06:02AM Dressing for autumn? It’s a challenge I’m always happy to take on, whether it’s assembling interesting layered looks or keeping cosy in knitwear. Autumn is when I come into my sartorial own. So you can imagine how happy I am that I can now justify focusing on my autumn outfits.Now, I do understand why some get anxious about the shift in seasons. Chances are you feel like you’ve just gotten into your summer style stride and know there’s another time of year to think about. However, I genuinely believe that dressing for autumn is easy—at least it is when you have a handful of autumn fashion essentials at your disposal.Over the years, I’ve curated an autumn capsule that’s versatile and sleek and will ensure you don’t need to spend frivolously over the next few months to look good. In my…
