Who What Wear

September 16, 2021 at 06:00AM At some point in the recent past, someone decided to merge the two worlds of athleisure and Princess Di together and come up with the term ‘sporty and rich’. Unlike the aforementioned atheleisure trend, this isn’t just about adding a pair of Adidas trackies to a white shirt or some other similar iteration, this is about channeling a classic sportswear piece but as if you’ve just finished a game of tennis or heading out of a swanky members club gym. Right now the piece that epitomises this look is the rugby shirt for women. It’s been bubbling away for a while. Ganni created an orange and black version adorned with sparkly buttons a couple of seasons ago, which I spotted on Abisola Omole. And I’ve also seen Lucy Williams wearing a short-sleeved version which is just as cool when worn with…

September 16, 2021 at 06:00AM Trends might come and go, but the overall feeling and mood of each season is very consistent. Spring is always colourful and optimistic, summer is bolder and more experimental and winter is a tale of two moods: hibernating and partying. Autumn however tends to be a moment to make sensible purchases, taking stock of what is and isn’t in your wardrobe. September is the time when people invest in classic staples, such as blazers, boots, coats and cashmere. Items that will be building blocks to any wardrobe throughout the year.They might be simple but we find these items tend to require the most consideration, as you want to be sure you’ve got the best quality and cut to ensure these pieces will really last and do the job. On the high street, & Other Stories’ really excels in…

September 15, 2021 at 10:57AM We don’t get to see a lot of Jenna Coleman out and about, and more’s the pity as we’ve been long-time fans of her style. The actress is often spotted wearing more understated looks but that doesn’t mean we haven’t noticed her stylish outfits. Last night, she once again proved that less is more wearing a head-to-toe Chanel look that’s the perfect autumnal outfit for when you don’t want to wear a fancy dress but still want to look chic. While attending this year’s Royal Academy of Arts summer exhibition party, Coleman opted for a pair of chevron trousers, a Chanel belt and a classic Chanel bouclé jacket. Although we loved the whole ensemble, it’s the jacket that really caught our eye and reminded us just why the fashion house’s bouclé is iconic. Created by Coco Chanel in the 1920s,…

September 15, 2021 at 08:49AM At Who What Wear we are always trying to help you find pieces that will be a long-lasting addition to your wardrobe, that will not only out-live fleeting trends and fit in with your personal style, but stand up from a design point of view. That is why this month we have brought you ’The Great Try On’ where our editors and friends of Who What Wear have tried new-season pieces and styling moves, to help you find those that are actually worth investing in or recreating yourself. There can be many difficulties shopping on the high street, from the wild discrepancies with fit and quality, not to mention a lack of size diversity and the promotion of a throwaway fast-fashion culture. But for many of us, shopping on the high street is what is accessible and realistic. That is…

September 15, 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 15, 2021 at 08:00AM If you had asked any beauty insider back in January what the big hair trends for the year ahead would be, it’s unlikely anyone would have said grown-out roots, wonky fringes, and patchy box dye jobs. Yet here we are. The year is finally drawing to a close, and it’s safe to say that the face of beauty has changed substantially over the past 11 months, most notably when it comes to our hair. Whatever your signature style, whether you started the year with ice-white lengths or a sleek, glass-like bob, chances are 2020 has messed with your hair game.Sure, we all started this ride feeling optimistic that we would be able to return to our trusty stylists and get our signature locks back just as soon as things “blew over,” but as time has moved on so have our hair priorities.…

September 15, 2021 at 07:00AM The naked dress trend is back, people, and it’s more naked than ever. While this look doesn’t ever seem to fade away, it’s definitely packing quite the punch for 2021. We’ve seen various iterations of the trend over the years but right now it seems to fit in one of two different camps: a skin-colour bodycon dress or a barely-there dress that’s transparent, sheer, or has strategically placed piece of material, or even a combination of all three. Cher wearing a dress by designer Bob Mackie at the Met Gala in 1974. The naked dress has a long history, of course. Those who are big Cher fans (and who isn’t?) will recall the star’s dedication to creations by designer Bob Mackie, who regularly created risqué items for the singer. Before that, however, there was Marilyn Monroe’s infamous sheer dress she…
