Who What Wear

October 08, 2021 at 06:00AM Dark under-eye circles are one of our most frustrating skin concerns—not only because they make us look like a long-lost member of the Cullen family, but because, try as we might, they can feel downright impossible to improve or vanish all together. The reason? Dark circles (and whatever it is that’s causing them) are unique to us as individuals. While my shadowy under-eyes might be due to genetics or allergies, another person could have a lack of sleep, too many margaritas, or even something as basic as bone structure to blame. Since cause, of course, has major dictation over your treatment plan, we contacted two of Los Angeles’s most-wanted skin pros—Vanessa Lee, RN, and founder of The Things We Do, and Kerry Benjamin, esthetician, and founder of StackedSkincare, for all of their expert insight on the topic. The good news: Both Lee and Benjamin agree dark…

October 08, 2021 at 05:00AM You’d be forgiven for thinking that 2017 was basically a decade ago. Thanks to the past 18 months, it’s felt like time has slowed, so what happened “before” feels like a lifetime ago. This means that trends returning from a mere four years ago seem like they’re from ages ago. The trend I’m thinking about today is the sock-boot trend. If you think back to 2017, you’ll remember that Balenciaga’s floral version was all over fashion week on the feet of various influencers. As a result, high-street brands copied the style, and the trend exploded. Then, it died down. We became obsessed with combat lace-up styles, cowboys, and let us not forget the ever-popular track- and chunky-sole boots. However, I’m here to tell you that I’ve spotted a few people wearing sock boots again thanks to fashion week. Whether they’re stiletto heels (as seen…

October 07, 2021 at 11:09AM Fashion collaborations are having a bit of a moment, and it feels like every month another brand announces that it’s joining forces with a high-profile industry name. As a fashion editor it’s easy to become cynical about these powerhouse pairings, but every now and then one comes along that hits the nail on the head. This month? It’s Mango’s collaboration with Scandi It girl Pernille Teisbaek. As one of the ‘original’ influencers, I’ve genuinely loved Pernille’s clean-lined yet statement-making style ever since I joined Instagram, and it’s this elevated approach to basics that winds its way through her Mango edit, manifesting in immaculate tailoring, versatile tank tops and flattering jeans. “I was thinking about the woman, the mother, the girl", Pernille explains. “It was important that we responded to the versatility and ease that busy, modern women need from their wardrobes. For me, that’s…

October 07, 2021 at 10:00AM Bonjour, mes amies. Today is a good day because not only do we have Zara news, we have a double whammy of French style news too. Two incredible fashion forces have come together to give us the ultimate chic collaboration: Charlotte Gainsbourg’s denim collection for Zara. You read that right, the cool offspring of Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg has designed a capsule range for the high-street mega brand, and we think you’re going to love it. The actress and singer has a long history of wearing denim and double denim in particular, often styling a classic true blue denim shirt with a pair of blue jeans, so she knows what she’s talking about when it comes to this material. On the matter of the new line, Gainsbourg said: “I have always wanted to have a tiny collection of what…

October 07, 2021 at 08:00AM When we talk about classic jeans, blue pairs often spring to mind, but I think black jeans are just as timeless, even if they don’t receive the same airtime as their vintage-wash counterparts. I always feel more pulled together and polished in black jeans, which I’d argue also transition from day to night more seamlessly due to their darker base colour.Still, just like any outfit, black jean outfits can become repetitive if you let them. So in an attempt to stop them from becoming stale and tired, I’ve gone on the hunt for black jean outfits that are classic, chic, and won’t let you down no matter where you’re going. Handily, there was a plethora of stylish looks to choose from, and my favourites are showcased below.Whether you’re looking for new ways to freshen your style for autumn or simply want some insight into…

October 07, 2021 at 08:00AM Thin hair can be difficult to style. Trust me—I know. I’ve tried to make my naturally thin hair look thicker and fuller ever since I was in middle school and my mum let me get my hands on a hot tool. Since then, I’ve cycled through plenty of hairstyles, volumising products, and thickening techniques. Some have worked, but most haven’t. That’s okay. Somewhere along the way, I’ve learned to live and work with my naturally thin hair (sigh), and the style I choose to wear it in has a lot to do with that. For example, I’ve learned a slick-straight style doesn’t do my thin hair any favours, which is why I tend to go with tousled, textured waves instead. So yeah, I had my opinions on what hairstyles work best for my thin, medium-length hair, but I was wondering what experts…

October 07, 2021 at 08:00AM I’m lucky enough in my job to have access to celebrity facialists, top beauty brands and the best experts in the industry, but I’ve noticed more and more that it’s A-listers themselves who are becoming all the more influential when it comes to serving up legitimately good beauty advice. Of course, celebrities like Beyoncé and Jennifer Aniston are surrounded by the beauty industry’s cream of the crop on a daily basis—from makeup artists to hairstylists—so it’s really no surprise that they’ve picked up some expert beauty tips along the way. There’s one celebrity in particular, however, whose skincare knowledge I trust more than most: Victoria Beckham.With her very own beauty line under her belt and a dedicated beauty reel of product recommendations and top tips on her Instagram, Beckham’s love of all things beauty is obvious. Her passion for products combined with how open she has…

October 07, 2021 at 08:00AM We’re only mere days into autumn, and pieces that will define the season ahead are already beginning to emerge. The fashion set, it seems, is just as impatient as we are. From Ganni’s chunky knee boots (or the Marks and Spencer iteration if you’re feeling less flush) to Breton-stripe knits, these are the buys to own if you want to look on-trend and in the know right now.Eclipsing them all in covetability, however, is the quilted jacket. Of course, this isn’t exactly a new trend—variations of quilted jackets have been on our radar for the past few winters. But this year is about cropped, waist-grazing jackets with a defined quilted finish in either diamond or more abstract patterns, which is not to be mistaken for the tubular lines associated with puffer coats.The sudden rise in the quilted jacket’s popularity can be traced…
