September 26, 2021 at 07:00AM Chemistry is everything when it comes to TV. It’s what makes us desperate for more installments of a really great show (and maybe even put down our smartphones to watch it). It’s arguably why Friends remains popular, why I still obsess over Pacey Witter and Joey Potter and why Line of Duty’s final episode was the most-watched episode of any drama since modern records began. These are big words, but I’d say Sex Education falls into this category. Season three’s episodes have all dropped on Netflix, and the internet is already fawning over it—and for good reason.The show’s premise might be based on Asa Butterfield’s Otis Milburn playing sex therapist to his peers, but it’s so much more than that. It turns the teen genre on its head, refusing to be so obvious as having the jocks versus the…

September 26, 2021 at 06:05AM In Britain, we’re blessed with some of the best affordable fashion the world has to offer, culminating in our beloved high street. I’ve always been a frugal spender, and in my decade tenure as a style editor, I’ve become something of a high-street shopping expert. So when my colleagues asked me to share my favourite under-£100 products for the season ahead, I was more than up to the challenge.Abi Omole wears a gilet, bra top and trousers, all from H&M. I firmly believe you don’t need to part with serious cash to get your hands on something exceptional or to assemble a high-end look. Case in point: All of the below. I spent the best part of an afternoon scouring each and every new-in section to bring you a concise edit of the best under-£100 products out there.Spanning the stalwarts—think…

September 26, 2021 at 06:00AM The Second-Hand Shopperis a new franchise that sees Who What Wear’s shopping editor, Joy Montgomery, join forces with some of the industry’s coolest vintage brands to show you that second-hand does not have to mean second-best. This series will give you exclusive access to sellout second-hand drops, which will be hand-selected by our editor and styled to show how you can wear them for the season ahead. Prepare to get clicking because these pieces won’t stick around for long.There haven’t been many times in my life when I’ve been asked to wear a pair of white gloves to handle an inanimate object, but as I reached into the dust bag of a £13.5K Hermès Kelly in the basement of Sellier Knightsbridge, I felt rather grateful for the thin layer of cotton protecting me and my sweaty hands from any threat of financial ruin. Welcome, readers, to the high-stakes world of preloved designer handbags. Founded in 2010 by…

September 26, 2021 at 06:00AM Generally speaking, I’m a creature of habit when it comes to my makeup bag—something that’s only been exacerbated now that most of my time is spent either working alone at home or looking after a toddler. After all, let’s be real: While I wear makeup to make myself feel good, there’s not much motivation for applying a neon eyeliner or colour-block shadow with only a 21-month-old to appreciate it. However, this month, I’ve been feeling the urge to get a bit more experimental when it comes to my makeup looks thanks to a combination of September’s classic back-to-school feeling and the return of red carpet events and all of those glamorous beauty looks. There’s no doubt that celebrities have really been bringing out the big guns when it comes to beautiful autumn makeup looks, and I’m feeling inspired. Stepping out…

September 26, 2021 at 06:00AM Whatever your thoughts on anti-ageing as a term, there’s no denying that moisturisers, which are created to specifically tackle things like fine lines, pigmentation and dryness, can be incredibly expensive due to their potent ingredients and advanced formulations. And while I truly believe that ageing is a privilege we should fully embrace—wrinkles and all—it doesn’t mean that taking good care of our skin as we grow older should cost a small fortune. This is why I’ve made it my mission to seek out anti-ageing products that genuinely work without breaking the bank. I’ve already discovered some brilliant serums and eye creams that rival counterparts with three-figure price tags, but today we’re here to talk about anti-ageing moisturisers—and cheap ones at that.Ahead, keep scrolling to shop seven of the best affordable anti-ageing moisturisers that genuinely hold their own against some of my luxurious favourites.It’s all about ingredients when choosing an efficacious anti-ageing moisturiser,…

September 26, 2021 at 04:30AM Without the help of our bra-size calculator below, finding out (and updating) your bra size can be a time-consuming and downright annoying thing. There are loads of great places you can visit to get your bra fitted (and I do venture afield, as you’ll see below), but the truth is that it’s super important to keep checking. Our bodies change fast (weight can fluctuate and our figures shift all the time), and wearing the wrong size bra can be rather damaging to your breast tissue. So although we would always recommend getting fitted properly, it is a great idea to be able to scope out your own bra size from home. That way, you can be on top of things when you’re too busy to visit a lingerie department every six months.The first thing you’ll learn? You’ve probably been…

September 25, 2021 at 06:00AM There’s nothing quite like the inexplicable satisfaction of a really good outfit. Sometimes it can be hard to put your finger on what it is exactly that makes something work: It could be a clever colour combination, an unexpected silhouette, or even a subtle trim on a pair of trousers. As a fashion editor, it is my job to keep an eye out for these winning ensembles. It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. We even have a channel on Slack that is literally dedicated to great outfits, and boy, are there plenty to choose from. This story is essentially a line-up of all the fabulous outfits that have been given the Slack-channel seal of approval. I find that the looks that stand out to me are often relatively simple in composition but pack a punch via colour, print or fabric. Tonal dressing is the perfect example…

September 25, 2021 at 08:00AM If you’re a regular reader of Who What Wear, you’re probably well acquainted with Kate Middleton’s wardrobe. She dresses pretty classically, but occasionally she’ll surprise us with something a bit different (case in point: this chic outfit with Warehouse and Chanel). The list of the designers she often turns to is pretty definite: often Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham and occasionally Erdem, Emilia Wickstead and Roksanda. But it’s not just the more expensive end of the spectrum she’s a fan of. She regularly wears high-street pieces from a range of brands, from Superga sneakers to & Other Stories dresses. But, and I’m going to put my stake in the ground here, her favourite store has to be Zara.For years she’s worn pieces from the high-street brand and always makes them look super expensive. Yesterday she attended a Euros game with…

September 25, 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…
