Who What Wear

August 07, 2021 at 06:01AM As far as modern-day minimalist muses go, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has firmly secured a spot on the top of the list. The model and beauty mogul regularly delivers pared-back outfit ideas to her loyal following of over 13 million fans, acquiring hundreds of thousands of likes in the process. Rosie has made a habit of posting mirror selfie photo galleries depicting her recent looks and of course, here at Who What Wear, we always take note. With a colour palette that mainly consists of black, white and beige, Rosie adheres to a relatively understated aesthetic of simple basics and classic items that can be endlessly mixed and matched. Straight leg white jeans, crisp button-down shirts and tailored trousers are just some of the wardrobe essentials she wears on repeat.Though she regularly invests in luxury brands (The Row and Bottega Veneta are currently her…

August 07, 2021 at 06:00AM Despite my very best efforts, I have fallen into a rut when it comes to getting dressed for working from home. I currently alternate between two pairs of jeans, and three jumpers, but am now itching to switch things up and find some new ways to style my denim staples. I’m not talking about anything radical here, as I’ll still be sat in my living room—but little styling tweaks that might help me fall in love with my jeans again. Below I’ve found 21 styling ideas that I plan on copying (again and again) in 2021, and many revolve around basics like breton tees, polo tops, Oxford shirts and knitted vests. Earlier this year my colleague Elinor wrote about the key new denim trends for 2021, speaking to denim experts from both 7 For All Mankind and & Other Stories. Much like…

August 07, 2021 at 06:00AM I’ve already waxed poetic about the classic clothing items you should never purge from your wardrobe (like a blazer or skinny jeans), and that story generated so many conversations that I felt it might be helpful to expand into another wardrobe staple: shoes. While shoe trends come and go, there are some styles you can let go of with little chance you’ll want to wear them again (I’m looking at you, wedge sneakers), and there are other styles you’re guaranteed to regret within months of tossing them.Now I’m not talking about shoe styles that are totally thrashed. If you’ve worn a pair of shoes out past the point of repair, then, by all means, get rid of them. But if it’s one of the styles I’m about to discuss, do yourself a favor and replace them with a new pair…

August 07, 2021 at 06:00AM When it comes to cult skincare there are few brands more hyped than Augustinus Bader. Despite only launching in 2018 with just two products—the now iconic The Cream and The Rich Cream—Augustinus Bader has amassed an impressively devout following of celebrities, makeup artists and beauty editors who all swear by the glow-boosting, skin-smoothing benefits of this covetable moisturiser. From Alexa Chung and Naomi Campbell to Hailey Bieber and Priyanka Chopra, basically every A-lister has a bottle of Augustinus Bader in the skincare rotation—and if they don’t then their makeup artist will. But at £205 a pop for a bottle of moisturiser, it’s impossible to offer up a truly unbiased review of Augustinus Bader without mentioning the cost. Because, let’s be real, skincare with a 3-figure price tag just isn’t a realistic purchase for the vast majority of us. So, what makes Augustinus Bader worth…

August 07, 2021 at 06:00AM There are various stylistic components that come into play to make an item of clothing look premium, and alongside dramatic silhouettes and heavyweight fabrics, I would have to say that unexpected prints are definitely a key factor. Just take Whistles’ short-sleeved shirt as an example: I spotted the piece within the brand’s ’new in’ section and was instantly drawn-in by the unusual map print, something I hadn’t seen anywhere else on the high street. It could have easily just stepped off the runway. My suspicions were confirmed when a handful of fashion-savvy women (Angela Scanlon included) posted pics of themselves wearing said shirt, and looking pretty stylish in the process. Made out of a silk-blend fabric and coming with a cool boxy fit, this is the sort of top that will instantly elevate your wardrobe basics, whether it’s black trousers or casual denim. I would tuck it into jeans and style with velcro sandals,…

August 06, 2021 at 11:00AM We been documenting Katie Holmes’ looks for some time now. Ever since she wowed everyone with that cardigan-and-bra Khaite set, we’ve been tracking her casual out-and-about outfits. Most often, she likes to wear jeans and tee, with loafers or a smart coat when the the weather is cooler, and with Birkenstocks when it’s summer. But this week, we spotted the actress had ditched her trusty denim in favour of something more fashion forward for 2021: pleated trousers. The look, which I’d argue originated with The Row, has transformed from stuffy suit styling to casual coffee-run chic. Holmes paired her dusty pink versions with a pair of Gucci loafers and a white shirt, which is an ideal summer outfit if we ever saw one (so much loose material is great on a hot day). The good news is that it’s not…

August 06, 2021 at 08:00AM From bakuchiol to CBD, 2021 has already seen it’s fair share of trending skincare ingredients, and I’ve tried them all. From overcoming my resistance to retinol to embracing a more pared-back approach to my skincare routine, I love experimenting to work out which ingredients are truly worth putting on my skin.There’s one key ingredient, however, that I’ve wholly neglected to sing the praises of this year. Despite using it every single day in my own routine, this ingredient has been somewhat overlooked in favour of the buzzy new launches that have been leading the way. Yet ask anyone with amazing skin which scientific ingredient it is that they swear by, and I guarantee it will be this one.The ingredient in question? Vitamin C. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C might not be anything new, but it’s certainly a bit of a wonder ingredient if you aren’t…

August 06, 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…

August 06, 2021 at 08:00AM Am I the only one who imagines I’m frolicking through a field of flowers when I put on a loose and flowy dress? No, just me? Anyways, when the cottagecore trend took over last summer, as a modest dresser, I was relieved. While I think second-skin dresses look fantastic on fashion girls everywhere, there’s something about a roomy dress that just gives a very ethereal feeling. The trend, filled with flowy frocks, has since become a fashion staple, especially in the spring and summer, with brands releasing varieties of breezy dresses with all sorts of patterns, colourways, and necklines. I don’t know about you, but I’ll most certainly be living in these kinds of dresses all summer. Not only are they stylish, but they’re also breathable and comforting for the hot summer days. Plus, when you have no energy to…

August 06, 2021 at 08:00AM The saying “you get what you pay for” applies to so many things in fashion, but one thing we struggle to justify it for is lingerie. Never has so little fabric amounted to so many pound signs as it does when you peruse luxury lingerie. And seeing as it’s something we wear, quite literally, every single day, it’s not something we’re prepared to spend our entire salary on, which is why we’ve scoured the digital shopping sphere to bring you the best affordable lingerie brands we can find.Emmanuelle Koffi wears a white lace lingerie set from Gooseberry Intimates. While they’ll save you some pennies in the process, if there’s one thing these affordable lingerie brands don’t skimp on, it’s style. From comfortable jersey triangle bralettes and big briefs to lace-trimmed teddies and even sultry see-through shorts, from an array…
