Who What Wear

October 02, 2021 at 06:33AM If you’re someone who is allergic to colour, then you should look away now, because this season’s jumper trend is a no-holds-barred rainbow extravaganza. While beige has become a byword for luxury in recent years, the A/W 21 runways were awash with saturated hues, from Bottega’s Kermit green to Prada’s deep cobalt blue. Who knew paintbox brights could look so chic? Not me. These eye-popping shades look fabulous on the runway, but I would imagine that some people might feel intimidated by their shouty aesthetic, which is why a colourful jumper is, for me, an easy way to inject brightness into my autumn wardrobe. You can wear it with everything from your favourite jeans to a classic midi skirt, and almost all of the bright colours will perfectly balance out the neutral beige and cream separates already sitting in your wardrobe.  Of course, you can also go to town with head-to-toe…

October 02, 2021 at 06:08AM Summer may have officially come to an end, but that doesn’t mean that you now need to relegate everything but your jeans and jumpers into storage. Instead, we’re looking for ways to keep our fashion fire alight as we head into autumn, and one of the simplest ways to ensure your ensembles look stylish and versatile is by adding a few well-chosen skirts into your rotation. Although dresses tend to steal much of the sartorial limelight, skirts are arguably even more wearable. Yes, you read right. With so many iterations out there—mini, midi, flowy, structured, woollen, silky—the number of autumn skirt outfits you can assemble is truly endless. To prove our point, we’ve found eight incredibly chic autumn skirt outfits you’ll be tempted to re-create for yourself this season. Scroll on to see the autumn skirt outfits—utilising everything from classic black jumpers and chunky…

October 02, 2021 at 06:00AM From bubblegum pink and sunshine orange to soft lavender and minty green, summer’s trending nail colours come as no surprise. Whether it’s Crayola-inspired brights or pretty pastels, the warmer months see us heading to nail salons in droves for an injection of colour. But this year there’s one, in particular, that has gone straight to the top of everyone’s nail-colour wish list: blue. Yes, another nail-trend curveball for 2021. We’ve already had glitter and cow print. What’s next? Blue is having a major moment right now, and I predict it’s going to be everywhere this summer. It’s surprisingly versatile, and the great thing about the blue nail trend is that there’s a shade to suit every taste. Whether it’s a vibrant azure, a pared-down powder blue or a sophisticated navy, there’s a blue hue for everyone.Ahead, you can find some of my favourite blue nail looks from my…

October 02, 2021 at 06:00AM Like salt and pepper and Sonny and Cher, jeans and boots are one of those pairings that were simply made to be together. Whether you’re a flares fanatic or dark denim devotee, there’s a boot trend that will complement your jean style of choice, and now that autumn has arrived, it’s the perfect time to work out what your jeans-and-boots persona will be for 2021. When looking for a new pair of boots, our recommendation would be to opt for a style that you know will go with a wide range of denim trends. Just look at heeled, knee-high boots: They might seem like a tricky style, but in fact, they’ll look just as good under wide-leg jeans as they will over skinny jeans. Even this season's combat style will transition from cropped denim to a straight-leg fit with ease. We’ve found 6 boot styles, in particular, that we think will look good with…

October 02, 2021 at 06:00AM Is it just me or has H&M seriously upped its fashion game over the last year? The brand seems to have refined the art of creating a solid wardrobe staple and has also started offering pieces with a slightly elevated price point, which results in higher quality—and higher quality means greater longevity. Win-win. Well, this is certainly the case for the brand’s autumn boot offering, which is a line-up of timeless styles and versatile colourways. H&M’s knee-high offering is looking particularly tempting, and I have my eye on one pair of chunky knee-high boots, which I’ll wear with tucked-in jeans, midi dresses and black miniskirts for the coming months. You also can’t go wrong with a heeled pair such as these, which are essentially an easy way to add polish to cold-weather separates and will also replace your favourite heels for autumnal Friday-night cocktails. Of course, there are…

October 02, 2021 at 06:00AM While I delight in taking my time with a good skincare routine at the end of a long day, I’ve made no secret of the fact that I consider dealing with my hair an altogether more boring chore. From washing it to styling it, I’ll do everything in my power to reduce the amount of time that I spend on my strands each day to the bare minimum. (Hence my intense love of dry shampoo for extending the number of days I can go between washes.)Similarly, whether it’s getting ready for work or meeting friends at the weekend, I’m only interested in the quickest and easiest hairstyles for my hair. Sure, fancy up-dos might look cool, but I just don’t have have the patience for an updo that requires a YouTube tutorial and another pair of hands to re-create…

October 01, 2021 at 12:54PM 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 01, 2021 at 01:00PM It may sound premature to say that we’re already starting to fine-tune our autumn shopping lists, but with the British summer flip-flopping between 30-degree heat and nonstop downpours, we’re frankly feeling ready to embrace the season ahead.
