Who What Wear

September 23, 2021 at 08:00AM The skin around your eyes is very delicate and thin, so you want to be gentle with it. That means using the right products and avoiding rubbing, scratching, or pulling at the area. Because that area is so sensitive, you might also find yourself dealing with things like dark under-eye circles, dryness, and puffiness. The latter part is one thing I’ve been dealing with a lot lately, so I went to a dermatologist for some answers.In fact, puffy eyes are one of the most common concerns that patients bring to their dermatologists, says Kathleen S. Viscusi, MD, FAAD, FACMS, co-founder and partner at Dermatology and Surgery Specialists of North Atlanta (DESSNA). Treating puffy eyes is a bit more complicated than you would think. “Effectively addressing this concern for each patient is much more variable. Just as there isn’t…

September 23, 2021 at 08:00AM Melissa Meyers is a Los Angeles–based influencer with a focus on beauty, style, travel, and wellness. Her blog, The Glow Girl, aims to empower women to embrace the best version of themselves, age gracefully, and cultivate a glow from the inside out. She also happens to be a 54-year-old with a passion for clean beauty. Below, hear from Meyers on her favourite natural skincare, makeup, and hair formulas. Plus, how she uses them in her daily routine.I find that as I approach my mid-50s, my skin and body are getting more and more sensitive to what I put on them. Over the past year, I’ve been making an effort to incorporate and use clean, safe beauty products in my life in order to reduce my exposure to toxic chemicals. In doing so, my allergies have improved, I feel…

September 23, 2021 at 08:00AM While social media can be a hub for all things fashion and beauty, skincare is a topic that can get a little tricky, especially when certain products start to trend. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been guilty of succumbing to a viral product only to be disappointed when it didn’t exactly work for my skin. While following trends for clothes and makeup can be an easier feat, with skincare, it’s crucial to be cautious because what works for others may not work for you, and some products may seem like they’re working but can actually cause damage and irritation later on. It’s important to pay close attention to the ingredients before purchasing a product and to consult an expert if possible, especially if you’re facing specific skin concerns. Since I’ve been seeing quite a few products circulate around social media that have…

September 23, 2021 at 08:00AM Before we dive in, let’s just remember that in reality, skinny jeans could basically be considered a classic at this point. Sure, people may have varying views on the cut, but they’re more or less timeless. That said, a style on the other end of the denim spectrum continues to increase in popularity—and definitely will thrive come spring. Yep, we’re talking about those loose, straight-leg jeans. More specifically, the silhouettes that are especially relaxed.In fact, since making an appearance again last year, loose-fitting jeans are still very much a present part of the autumn/winter 2021 line-up. Well today, we thought we’d dive in a bit deeper with some visual inspiration on how fashion people are wearing loose-fitting jeans because it’s continuing well into 2022, we think. With that in mind, keep scrolling for a range of outfit ideas featuring…

September 23, 2021 at 08:00AM I won’t be the first or the last person to ever panic about what to wear to a wedding. The truth is that it's difficult because we’ve all been hardwired into buying something new for the occasion. I imagine this is something to do with the psychology behind getting dressed. A new dress will make us feel and look better, so we’re always striving for the next dress to give us that confidence boost. I get it because I’ve been there, but there are two major problems with this thinking: One, it’s not ethical to continue buying a new dress every time there’s a fancy event on only to never wear it again. Two, it’s not a financial option for most of us. But what if I were to tell you that you can wear a new dress to every nuptial you’ve…

September 23, 2021 at 07:00AM Despite the pervading uncertainty, it feels as though 2020 and 2021 were the years of the small brand. Of course, that is not to diminish the struggles that independent brands have faced (and still face) through the pandemic, but as the parameters of our lives shrunk, our fascination for small-scale production only grew. Whether it’s due to concern for the environment or purely a fear that independent businesses would fail without our support, platforms such as Etsy and Instagram gave us a chance to discover new names like never before. As a team, we’re passionate about championing small brands, and like intrepid explorers, we’ve spent many an evening wading through the internet to hunt down those unknown labels. When you stumble across a gem, there’s nothing quite like it. It also helps that big-name e-commerce sites like Net-a-Porter are becoming so much better at celebrating up-and-coming talent. More than…

September 23, 2021 at 06:05AM For a lesson in what to wear right now, you needn’t necessarily look to the runways, as, often, they 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, New York Fashion Week, is…

September 23, 2021 at 06:00AM A change of season is the perfect time for a wardrobe reset—and that doesn’t just mean buying lots of new things. The ideal autumn capsule wardrobe includes classics we revisit every year, such as buttery leather ankle boots, trench coats and knitwear, with small tweaks to make these classics feel updated. There are 11 items for autumn that are worth considering if you’re looking to make any new-season investments.Whether it’s chic, cosy knits, super-cool leather separates or elegant wool coats, there are plenty of pieces slowly taking over new-in sections. We find that autumn is the perfect time to step back and really think about what’s worth buying and what slots into your existing cold-weather wardrobe. The items below are hero items that all of your autumn outfits can centre around, whether it’s a knitted vest or a pair of chunky boots.…

September 23, 2021 at 06:00AM Generally speaking, when it comes to hair there seems to be one main thing that people want from their strands: thickness. In fact, when friends and family reach out to me with hair-related queries it’s most frequently to ask what the best products for thin hair are. I’ll be honest though, although I adore a good volumising product, hair thickness has never really concerned me. While my individual strands are quite fine, they’re coarse in texture and there’s a lot of them: I’m more likely to be testing products that promise hair hydration or strand-sleeking results than anything that makes hair look thicker. Until last year, that is.After having my first child I experienced the much-talked about postpartum hair loss and wow was it intense. After enjoying even thicker, glossier hair during pregnancy I was shocked to see the huge amounts of hair that I was losing every day…

September 23, 2021 at 06:00AM Avid Who What Wear UK readers will already know that we’re low-key obsessed with FitFlop. A brand that prioritises comfort and coolness in its footwear is always going to be a winner with us. (After a week of running around LFW shows, pass us the slippers, please.) The shoe brand has been on our radar for a while now, especially since the rerelease of the original Walkstar, which we spotted gaining cult status back at the beginning of the summer and have barely taken off since. Sadly, sandal weather is nearing its end, and it’s almost time to hang up our chunky flip-flops for another season. However, with a new season comes new shoes, and if you’ve been wondering which styles to wear between now and boot season, you’ve come to the right place. FitFlop’s new collection just…
