Who What Wear

October 07, 2021 at 06:18AM Shout-out to everyone who hates summer because right now, it’s your time to shine. The weather is no longer sweltering, and we can get out the best bits of our wardrobes: jeans and jumpers. But with so many combinations to try, which ones are working in 2021? Below, I’ve collected a few of my favourite looks that will work with any kind of footwear you choose—whether it’s still warm where you are and you want sandals (probably pushing it now, though) or it’s starting to cool down and therefore time for your favourite pair of ankle boots.But back to the actual outfits. There’s a cut-out-jumper-and-baggy-jeans look that’s ideal for those warmer autumn days and great for wearing if you’re WFH. Then there’s the knitted co-ord (bralette and cardi) that’s still going strong. Right now, however, I’m particularly into the minimalistic look…

October 07, 2021 at 06:15AM As an editor at Who What Wear, I typically spend a lot of time looking at new-in products, and so every week, I update this story with the pieces that have caught my eye and that really stand out. The weather recently has seen us all return to our knitwear and raincoats, and so I’ve started compiling my autumn wish list. Below, I’ve included some of the chicest autumn-ready items I’ve seen this year, including an M&S jumper, a chunky pair of boots from John Lewis and a Kitri coat which is almost too good to be true.So whether you’re looking to buy, browse or discover something new, keep scrolling for pieces I love and think are worth investing in, from the high street to designer labels. One word— EPIC. Erica Davies just launched a line of knee-high boots for John Lewis with a…

October 07, 2021 at 06:04AM For a lesson in what to wear right now, you needn’t necessarily look to the runways, as they often showcase creations too fantastical for everyday use. Instead, we like to zero in on the street style set, which reliably cherry-picks the need-to-know pieces for us, subsequently setting the tone of our wardrobes for the season ahead. And right now, as we find ourselves in the midst of fashion month, those dashing to and from shows are serving up all the shopping inspiration we need with their perfectly executed outfits, which feature some seriously chic items.Identifying these items comes easily to editors. Chances are we’ve already come across them during our dutiful fashion research. However, for the average person who doesn’t work in the industry, finding out where to buy that gorgeous dress from the streets of, say, Paris Fashion Week is near impossible.…

October 07, 2021 at 06:03AM A really great coat is hard to come by and therefore deserves a great coat-centric outfit to truly let it shine. Once you’ve gotten over the first hurdle of finally deciding which style to buy—whether it’s an on-trend vinyl trench or a classic camel number—it’s then a case of styling it up to perfection.More often than not, the obvious choice when outfit-building around outerwear is to slip on a coat over a chunky knit and jeans, which, don’t get me wrong, is a fail-safe look for chilly weekends. Sometimes, though, you just want to feel a little more inspired. That’s where we come in. We’re all too familiar with the challenges that come with cold-weather dressing, so we’ve rounded up 10 easy-to-copy coat outfit ideas that our favourite influencers have been nailing recently.Trust us—these foolproof combinations will provide all the…

October 07, 2021 at 06:00AM If we had to call out one jacket style we saw more than any other at London Fashion Week this season, it would be the blazer. There were dramatic oversized styles and bold pops of colour, classic black and leather finishes—it’s incredible how varied one item of clothing can be appear when interpreted by different people with different style personalities. It also demonstrated how the blazer is one of the most versatile and timeless items of clothing you can own, and thankfully, it’s also something that looks great at every price point. The high street has certainly upped its game in the tailoring stakes over the last few years, with brands such as Arket and COS delivering premium pieces at purse-friendly prices. I personally own one checked blazer from Arket, which I got for Christmas around five years ago, and it still looks as good as the day I received it. The other reason…

October 07, 2021 at 06:00AM It’s an odd thing to say, we know, given that there are so many cult beauty buys out there, but really, it takes quite a lot for a beauty launch to hit the big time. With hundreds, if not thousands, of new products hitting the virtual shelves every year, it’s tough for one single product to make a name for itself. Although it might seem as though beauty insiders are recommending every new product that comes their way, trust us when we say that cementing a place in the beauty product Hall of Fame is no mean feat.Having said that, there is one particular product that has managed to make quite the impression on beauty buffs in recent years. In fact, it’s made an impression on just about everyone—so much so that when we rounded up the best-selling products of last year, it…

October 06, 2021 at 12:00PM There’s nothing that makes us quite as excited as the discovery of an affordable item that could easily pass as designer. This week, this moment came in the form of a jumper courtesy of high street stalwart Marks and Spencer. Of course, good ‘ol M&S has always been prized for its cashmere offering, but when I saw this particular striking ombre number, I couldn’t help but yelp with excitement (it’s my job, okay?) Coming in a statement-making shade of red, but with a classic crew neck silhouette, there’s something about this jumper than just feels so premium. Perhaps it’s the fact that it’s impactful without being obviously 'trend-led’, and the cashmere fabric makes it feel undeniably luxurious. I also think it’s the sort of style that will look good for many seasons to come. Both WWW editor Emma Spedding and I were desperate to try the jumper on…

October 06, 2021 at 06:54AM The Who What Wear take on autumn/winter 2021’s top fashion trends has been curated just like any other season: it is, has been and always will be entirely grounded in what you’re going to want to wear. You can consider this is your ultimate edit and a checklist to keep referencing, rather than a vast, overwhelming, never-ending stream of runway pictures and examples of unrealistic looks that won’t/don’t translate into the majority of wardrobes up and down the country. It’s a gargantuan task, but someone’s got to do it, and who better than a team of editors known for their ability to not only decode trends but predict them too?Traditionally, the darker, colder months are a time for cocooning, but I think we can agree that we’ve all had our fill of that. The short days and chilly temperatures provide us with an opportunity to…

October 06, 2021 at 08:00AM If there’s one thing I’m asked most frequently as a shopping editor, it’s what designer bags are worth the investment. It’s a pretty big question to answer, as so many things come into play. After all, one person’s idea of what is affordable and expensive depends on their budget. There’s also the practicality consideration—some of us would happily forgo a roomy interior for an attractive design, whereas others require their handbags to fit everything except the kitchen sink.I’m probably somewhere in the middle. I find it hard to get on board with the micro-bag trend, and I require my bags to be versatile. However, I am the sort of person you’ll see lugging around a canvas tote bag with a water bottle, laptop and tissues while my handbag remains unsullied by such weighty responsibilities. I find that midsize bags, such as my Wandler…
