Who What Wear

March 30, 2022 at 06:30AM 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 freezing bathroom post-shower waiting…

March 30, 2022 at 06:30AM I’ll be honest, I feel like the concept of exfoliating as a skincare step has taken some beating in recent years. Once upon a time, exfoliating (the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin) was considered an essential part of every at-home skin routine. Once or twice a week, we were encouraged by experts to use either a scrub or an acid treatment to help unclog pores, remove dead skin cells and reveal brighter, clearer skin. But then scrubs got cancelled. Experts and brands told us that we were destroying our skin barriers and causing our complexions major upset as a result. As a result, the industry moved us onto non-abrasive, acid exfoliators. But now, it seems as though they too can cause issues, and so the concept of using an at-home exfoliant has slowly…

March 30, 2022 at 06:08AM Traditionally, the role of a fashion editor is all about reporting on newness and what you should be wearing in six months’ time. However, in 2022, this way of talking about clothes is dated and simply unpractical for the way we live and are all trying to consume in a more mindful fashion. Now I write about classic items much more than I report on buzzy microtrends. As many of us are about to do a wardrobe switchover and are looking to fill gaps in our existing summer capsules, below I’ve listed 11 items that always make getting dressed easier in warmer months. These are simple pieces that will form a useful foundation, and then you can layer brighter, more statement separates on top. First, you’ll need sensible summer accessories, such as basket bags and leather sandals, as well as throw-on summer…

March 30, 2022 at 06:03AM Hands up who’s ready for a holiday? With the freedom to roam the world once again, we can’t help but keep a list of top destinations to visit in our notes app. That feeling of having the warm air hit you in the face as you step off the plane at your chosen exotic destination is incomparable. And while we’re eager to book said flight, we’re more eager to plan what to wear. Summer is all about accessories, and while we dig out our straw bags and hats, THOMAS SABO has the jewellery department covered.The fresh new Ocean Vibes edit encapsulates everything we love about a summer holiday – from the calm waves to the clear blue sky – and this collection has emulated these. Each 3D design is carefully created using 925-sterling silver. Encrusted with sparking zirconia stones…

March 30, 2022 at 06:00AM If you can’t, for the life of you, figure out what to wear right now— don’t worry, you’re not alone. I think I speak for all of us all when I say we’re feeling the same— especially when one minute spring is in full swing and the next it’s time to bring those wool coats out again. It’s during these awkward transitional times that us Who What Wear editors turn to our most reliable outfits. The ones we know, whatever the weather, will make us look effortless and feel our best. When in doubt, simple and effective is our motto and the look in particular I’ve been reaching for over and over again recently is the classic blazer-and-legging combo. It’s comfy thanks to the leggings, and it’s polished thanks to the blazer, which just so happens to also be…

March 29, 2022 at 02:29PM Once again, the beauty looks at the Oscars 2022 did not disappoint. We’ve been glued to the red carpet looks, plotting which make-up and hair moments we’re going to try out ourselves. From Zendaya’s swept updo to Lupita Nyongo’s gilded eye look, the beauty was nothing short of chic.As much as we love finding out which luxury beauty brands are worth investing in, we also love a budget alterative that does the job. Whether it is cheap moisturisers that rival their luxury counterparts or the best budget-friendly concealers that give high end ones a run for their money, any beauty editor will tell you that it isn’t always necessary to spend a fortune to get brilliant products.And while you might expect the Oscar-goers to wear only the best of the best of premium brands, you’ll be pleased to read that we’ve…

March 29, 2022 at 06:21AM I admit it; I have expensive taste, and I’m also quite (read: very) picky. I always have been. When I was a teenager, knowledge of labels generally wasn’t as prevalent as now (we have the internet social media to thank for that). But, even then, I still found myself gravitating toward pieces of substance and brands of note over the quick and easy wardrobe updates that would tempt my friends. I dressed older than my years, which, at the time, sometimes meant I felt the opposite of “trendy”. Looking back, however, at photographs of my best friend’s 16th birthday party, to which I wore wide-leg tailored trousers and a silky camisole, I’m just grateful that such photographs don’t make me cringe today.Now, a full-fledged adult, I’m still picky and have the same expensive taste. My budget, however? Well, it doesn’t…

March 29, 2022 at 10:21AM Although it’s completely true that there’s nothing we love more than a full-blown Jennifer Lopez look (we’re talking about her iconic Versace jungle dress and, more recently, her bridal minidress by Giambattista Valli), it would be wrong for us to discount the Hustlers star’s more laid-back outfits. After all, whether it be a sundress or joggers, J.Lo really can make anything look good. Her latest one is no exception. While out and about in L.A., Lopez was spotted wearing the easygoing denim look that French girls have been donning for decades. Specifically, she combined a basic white T-shirt with high-rise, wide-leg jeans à la Jane Birkin back in the 1970s. Keeping with the theme, she added a pair of sky-high platform heels, oversize sunglasses, and large gold hoops. Apart from the absence of a woven basket bag (Lopez chose to instead accessorise with Coach’s logo-covered Beat shoulder bag), she…
