Who What Wear

September 28, 2021 at 08:00AM The topic of dark circles within the beauty industry is one that has frustrated me for as long as I can remember. You see, I came into this world sporting an impressive pair of purple rings underneath my eyes. I have spent most of my life batting off concerns from people that I look tired, drained and unwell. Honestly, I’m fine. It’s just my dark circles.For many, dark circles don’t come about because of lifestyle choices. Sure, things like dehydration, lack of sleep and a poor skincare routine can worsen the situation, but for people like me, dark circles are permanent fixtures. Elizabeth Hawkes, consultant ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeon at the Cadogan Clinic, explains, “The term ‘dark circles’ is used to describe increased pigmentation of the under-eye and is a very common concern. The skin around the eye is unique. There…

September 28, 2021 at 08:00AM If you’re still holding out for that second August heatwave, then you might want to look away now because I’m about to rain on your parade. (Quite literally—have you seen the weather outside?) I’ve always been drawn towards the enveloping silhouettes of autumn, partly because I can’t stand the sweaty logistics that come with heatwave dressing but also because there’s so much more creative potential in layering. I find that there’s only so much you can do with a summer dress.Autumn is a time to experiment with statement jackets, create unexpected pairings with blouses and jumpers and give your midi dresses an edge with chunky boots and equally chunky knits. So yes, it might only be July, but I’m already scouting out the cold-weather outfits that I plan on re-creating the moment the mercury drops.Many of my chosen looks centre on tailored hero pieces, such…

September 28, 2021 at 08:00AM Not only has Hailey Bieber really been slaying it in the fashion department lately (our camera roll has too many outfit shots to count right now), but her beauty game is perpetually on point as well. Personally, I’m a little bit of a Hailey Bieber fiend, if you will, and keeping tabs on everything she’s wearing, loving and talking about has basically become my favourite pastime. My Who What Wear co-workers are very aware of my admiration, so when Bieber took to her IG stories recently to share 10 of her favourite beauty products, our US editor in chief, Kat Collings, quickly rang the alarm and sent the must-save screenshots to me.  If you love Hailey’s aesthetic just as much as I do or are interested in seeing which products she swears by for keeping up her perpetual glow, keep scrolling.

September 28, 2021 at 08:00AM It’s universally acknowledged that Jennifer Lopez can wear absolutely anything and pull it off like a pro. The latest example? J.Lo was photographed in Los Angeles wearing an oversized button-down shirt sans trousers—because who needs them in that heat?—along with a lightweight sweater and a Coach x Jean-Michel Basquiat bag.The shirt-as-a-dress look reminds me of a recent Megan Fox outfit. Great minds think alike. J.Lo also wore chunky platform sneakers that are very in line with the resurgence of Y2K trends this year, so even though her actual pair from The Kooples is sold out, you’ll find plenty of other options available now. Scroll down to shop her shoes as well as other pieces to re-create this easy, breezy summer outfit. On Jennifer Lopez: The Kooples White Thick Sole Lace Up Sneakers (£260, sold out); Coach x Jean-Michel Basquiat bagNext: 8 Denim Trends We’ll All Go Wild for This…

September 28, 2021 at 06:17AM As a team of editors with wide-ranging tastes and fashion preferences, it’s not often that we are unanimously united in adoration for one particular item of clothing. But this season, high-street hero COS only went and delivered a dress so chic that we couldn’t help but communally fall in love with it. Coming in a dark, forest green (a great alternative to more traditional neutrals such as black and brown, FYI) and boasting a dramatic gathered neckline and voluminous puffed sleeves, this dress packs plenty of drama, yet thanks to its roomy silhouette, you know it’ll be super easy to throw on at a moment’s notice.I’ve sent the link to quite a few friends who have been looking for a wedding guest dress, and as you can see in the below model shot, it looks so fab with strappy heels and a clutch. However, I have no…

September 28, 2021 at 06:09AM There’s a misconception that you can’t find classic wardrobe items on the high street—that the pieces are too trend-led and their appeal will fade when new sartorial movements come into play. However, we’re here to prove otherwise, and we have the evidence to back it up.All of our favourite high-street brands are known for getting specific things right, whether that’s an entire product category, such as ASOS’s knitted co-ords, or a particular item, for example, & Other Stories’ wool-blend blazer or Dune’s cult Loupe sandals.Following on from this, we’ve rounded up all the expensive-looking pieces that fit this citation to bring you the best high-street classic items from each store to spend your money on. The perfect capsule is but a scroll away.Style Notes: We’ve made a pact to wear more dresses this winter. Naturally, & Other Stories’ dress department is our first port…

September 28, 2021 at 06:00AM Some call it low-maintenance, others might say lazy, but when it comes to my hair I am unashamedly laidback when it comes to styling it. Over-the-top up-dos and fancy plaits not only aren’t my thing, but I’ve never mastered them even if I was inclined to try. However, there’s something about the arrival of autumn that has me wanting to step outside my comfort zone and embrace something a little more adventurous when it comes to my daily hair styling. But I’m also incredibly realistic about the amount of time and effort I’m willing to spend on cajoling my hair into any kind of autumn hairstyle in the morning. We’re all busy people and, honestly, who has more than 10 minutes to dedicate to their strands on a normal day?So, when it came to seeking out autumn hairstyle…

September 28, 2021 at 06:00AM Despite how much we admire celebrity airport style, it’s not always so easy to figure out what you should wear on a plane when push comes to shove, especially now that many of us have put our travel plans on pause for a while. Stilettos and high-waisted leather pants look great in paparazzi shots of stars strutting through airport terminals, yet in action, these statement-making ensembles can prove a bit trickier. And though we’d all love to look our best when hitting the skies, certain wardrobe pieces are best left in a checked bag or carry-on. Who better to inform us of what to never wear on a plane than someone who works at 35,000 feet? We reached out to American Airlines flight attendant Andrea Fischbach to spill her list of things you shouldn’t wear when flying for the sake…

September 28, 2021 at 06:00AM There’s no doubt that the very best part of being a beauty editor is getting all of the latest beauty products sent to your front door for you to try. From bronzers and eye shadows to super serums and cleansers, virtually no new launch goes untested. But with so many new launches every single day, each with claims as groundbreaking as the next, how is anyone actually supposed to know what’s any good? Well, my friends, that’s exactly what I’m here for. I put my face, body and hair through it all so that I can report back to let you know which of this month’s beauty launches are actually worth having on your radar. Yes, I’ve spent the majority of the month testing, trialling and monitoring every single launch that came my way so that I could put all of the best new…

September 28, 2021 at 06:00AM We always feel a little sad when London Fashion Week concludes for another season. There is, however, one thing that helps ease the pain of bidding it adieu: the glorious street style of Milan Fashion Week. When it comes to having fun with getting dressed, no one does so quite like the Italians—or, at the very least, the joyful fashion types who descend on Milan. After all, with shows like Prada, Gucci and Fendi on its schedule, Milan Fashion Week is home to some of the most directional fashion houses out there, and the street style looks reflect this eccentricity. More is more was undoubtedly the mantra of the Milan Fashion Week street style set this September, with exaggerated silhouettes, eye-catching prints and impressive displays of colour forming some of the key looks from the seven-day sartorial extravaganza. Even those who embraced more muted…
