Who What Wear

September 14, 2021 at 08:00AM Getting to grips with exactly what sort of beauty practices are right and what are wrong can feel quite overwhelming. One minute, double cleansing is all the rage, and the next, everyone’s preaching that it’s wasteful and unnecessary. It makes total sense, therefore, that when it comes to your beauty routine, you should just do whatever feels best for you.However, with that being said, according to experts, there are a handful of beauty habits and tendencies that could be adding years onto your appearance—no ifs, ands or buts. So if you’re fed up of spending a fortune of anti-ageing lotions and potions to no avail, it could be worth taking a long, hard look at your routine as a whole. To help you establish exactly what parts of your regimen could be working against you, we’ve enlisted the…

September 14, 2021 at 08:00AM A few weeks ago, I was seeking fashion advice from our Facebook shopping group So… Should I Buy This? in relation to a leopard-print jacket I was contemplating buying. The response was overwhelmingly positive: Some readers even insisted that leopard print is a neutral and, as such, a wardrobe investment that cannot be faltered. Still, coming to terms with its newfound chicness can be difficult, as the motif is so rooted in pop culture. Heck, it wasn’t all that long ago that leopard print was considered tacky (hello, Janice from Friends or Kat from EastEnders) and synonymous with the “mutton dressed as lamb” stereotype, outdated as it may be.In 2021, however, it has been widely embraced by the fashion crowd, most notably by achingly cool influencers such as Léna Farl, Kellie Brown, Anne Laure Mais and Grece Ghanem. And it seems they’re not alone in their…

September 14, 2021 at 08:00AM Marks and Spencer is a British institution that is loved up and down the country for delivering quality staples, particularly underwear, pyjamas and cashmere jumpers. It creates classic pieces that appeal to all ages, and although the design has universal appeal, it is never particularly out-there or following street style trends. That’s why our editors were all surprised when we found a pair of boots that look straight from Copenhagen Fashion Week. Chunky, rubber-sole boots have been trending thanks to designers like Ganni and Bottega Veneta, and M&S has done its own iteration of the chunky knee-highs for £50.So I had to try a pair to see if they live up to the product image on the website. When I put them on, my partner said, “Why are you wearing wellies inside?” This is certainly a reaction you will get to these boots, as…

September 14, 2021 at 08:00AM Everyone deserves a beauty editor in their group chat for on-the-go questions on everything from the best concealer to where to go for a manicure that’ll last beyond the weekend. With the enviable job of testing and reviewing a seemingly endless supply of beauty products, they’re the best bet for product recommendations. The downside? When you’ve got every beauty brand in the world at your disposal, that often equates to using products that have a whole lot of numbers succeeding the pound sign. So we decided to have a chat with the beauty editors we have on speed dial to find out what affordable beauty products they use that rival the expensive ones out there. Keep scrolling to find the editor-approved affordable buys that you need to add to your routine. “I have a real body lotion aversion. I can’t stand the cold, so hopping round a…

September 14, 2021 at 06:14AM When I find an item of clothing or a pair of shoes I like, I buy it in every colour it comes in. So much so, if you were to peek inside my wardrobe, it would look as if it belonged to twins who like to dress in the matching ensembles, albeit in different shades. Off the top of my head, I can tell you have I three Ghost Jenna dresses (the blue, black, and pink). Oh, and the white and grey versions of Arket’s perfect fit t-shirt. I’ve also got the same edit of Topshop Editor jeans in two colours. But the item I’ve bought not once, not twice, nor three, but four times is a simple but incredibly versatile piece from one of my favourite high-street stores: & Other Stories.Jessica wears an & Other Stories mock neck jumper in…

September 14, 2021 at 06:14AM It’s hard to remember a time when everything you mused, liked and—let’s face it—ate, wasn’t documented on social media. And the effects have certainly been felt where our wardrobes are concerned. For many, posing for an outfit photograph has become part of their daily routines. Some have carved impressive careers from doing so, but at what cost? As it turns out, a financial one.Our obsession with showcasing our clothes has developed into a culture of excess, where many would choose buy new than be seen in the same dress for a second or third time. Don’t take our word for it—just look at the facts. Carrying out a study in 18,000 households across 20 countries, Movinga asked participants to estimate the percentage of unworn clothes they have in their wardrobes. On average, those in the UK thought it…
