Who What Wear

October 03, 2021 at 09:00AM Fashion month continues to truck on, and we’re still reveling in all the glorious newness. The fashion weeks in Copenhagen, New York, and London were jam-packed with exciting S/S 22 trends, and of course, Milan was no exception. All of your favourite Italian heavyweight brands truly outdid themselves this season and left us with some excellent styling ideas and cult buys to look forward to. As we sorted through all the stunning shows that took place in Milan, there was a lot to digest, but we were able to narrow down the newness to five key trends. Featuring the miniskirt you’re bound to see everywhere this spring thanks to Prada and what we’re deeming one of two new naked trends to look forward to in 2022, this list will give you the download on everything you need to know from Milan Fashion Week. We’ve talked a…

October 03, 2021 at 08:00AM From bakuchiol to CBD, 2021 has already seen it’s fair share of trending skincare ingredients, and I’ve tried them all. From overcoming my resistance to retinol to embracing a more pared-back approach to my skincare routine, I love experimenting to work out which ingredients are truly worth putting on my skin.There’s one key ingredient, however, that I’ve wholly neglected to sing the praises of this year. Despite using it every single day in my own routine, this ingredient has been somewhat overlooked in favour of the buzzy new launches that have been leading the way. Yet ask anyone with amazing skin which scientific ingredient it is that they swear by, and I guarantee it will be this one.The ingredient in question? Vitamin C. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C might not be anything new, but it’s certainly a bit of a wonder ingredient if you aren’t…

October 03, 2021 at 08:00AM After a long year of not getting my hair cut, I'm more excited than ever to get back into the salon. Admittedly, I’m not the adventurous type, so I’ll be resurrecting my grown-out bangs, but you’ve come to the right place if you’re itching to try something new. It’s a truth universally acknowledged that French girls are the epitome of style, so why not take a little inspiration from chic Parisians? To get the scoop on French haircuts that are popular with L.A. girls like me, I tapped David Pierre, founder and creative director of The Hair Atelier in West Hollywood, California. The French transplant is knowledgeable about hair trends on both sides of the Atlantic, so I knew he’d be the best stylist to ask. Scroll down to see his expert opinion. “Curtain bangs or any sort of fringe, in general, will automatically…

October 03, 2021 at 08:00AM There are some shoe trends that become popular, peak, then go away for a decade or longer. Others only fade away for a few seasons before making a big comeback. Since the start of the year, we’ve been predicting another cowboy-boot craze, and it looks like that craze is finally upon us. We think this one could even be big enough to eclipse the previous cowboy-boot craze of 2018. For starters, the A/W 21 runways of heavy hitters like Isabel Marant were overrun with cowboy boots. Retailers’ new arrivals also include tons of cowboy boots at various price points. And very influential celebs like Kendall Jenner are already wearing them amidst the dog days of summer.Jenner was recently photographed out in Malibu wearing loose, cream-coloured jeans, a cropped tank top and two-tone, vintage Western boots. We love the idea of wearing cowboy boots under loose jeans—a change from previous seasons when they…

October 03, 2021 at 08:00AM Ask any stylish person which bag they use the most, and we guarantee it will meet the following criteria: something with a longer, crossbody strap that allows for unfussy, daily wear; a chic, timeless style and finish that doesn’t try too hard; a roomy piece that will hold the essentials without feeling too giant; and a premium, durable material that withstands regular usage while remaining polished, neat, and sophisticated. When you find the holy grail of bags, you’ll never think twice about which bag to throw on every morning. And for us, the quest is over. Mulberry’s new addition, The Sadie, ticks all the boxes. Our fashion hearts have skipped a beat.The newly launched line of Sadie satchels has a style for every discerning shopper. There are more unusual colourways like meadow green (think of a lush, acidic grass hue) and cloud (the dreamiest of blues) for those who want their…

October 03, 2021 at 08:00AM If there’s one thing that we could all be getting more of right now, it’s sleep. Sure, we all know the importance of clocking in those precious eight hours of rest each night for our overall health and wellbeing, but in practice, arriving at the land of nod isn’t always so easy. Between busy work schedules, the resurgence of socialising and balancing temporary home offices with partners, kids and needy pets, many of us are feeling too frazzled to wind down at the end of the day. And failure to switch off and rest means that our skin can be left paying the price. In fact, when talking to skin experts this year, one of the most recurring themes we’ve heard has been the increase in adults seeking help for skin sensitivity, acne and inflammation, all as a…

October 03, 2021 at 08:00AM If there’s one thing we know, it’s that Who What Wear readers are obsessed with two things: dresses and shoes. These two subjects always dominate our So Should I Buy This? Facebook group, and now that we find ourselves on the cusp of bare-leg season, they’re proving to be all the more practical.While we’re quick to cover the latest trends across both wardrobe items, we thought we’d go back to basics and have a look at the shoes we should be wearing with dresses this summer. As such, we can conclude that there are seven key footwear styles that seem to suit dresses more than other shoe types.Chances are you’ll already own some (if not all) of the shoes on our list, but that’s the beauty of taking a step back from the noise of the trends and, instead,…

October 03, 2021 at 08:00AM Unfortunately, I wasn’t blessed with thick, voluminous hair. It’s not quite a hardship, but what can I say? We all want what we can’t have. My hair is stick straight, which really isn’t anything to complain about. In fact, it might be a blessing because I’m pretty lazy when it comes to styling. Since my hair is pretty low maintenance and easy to manage, I can get away with air-drying it and letting it do its thing most days.But like I said, we want what we can’t have, right? So when I’m looking at my flat strands, I dream of big, bouncy hair. And when I see people with the perfect beachy waves or hair with a ton of body, I feel a tinge of envy. I especially feel it during those moments when I put in the time…
