Who What Wear

July 31, 2021 at 06:00AM At this point, there’s just no resisting the allure of French beauty. We’re not the only ones totally obsessed with the effortlessly chic vibe French women emit, but we’ve spent years (seriously) dissecting every facet of the French way of life. When it comes to skincare, in particular, we’ve noticed that a less-is-more approach seems to be the secret to achieving a peak French vibe.Gone are the days of having to physically visit France to load up on all the beauty goods known to be in heavy rotation on French girls’ vanities. I mean, that wouldn’t be the worst thing, but thanks to a whole lot of Instagram stalking and some heavy online shopping, we’ve tracked down the 11 skincare brands French women love the most and exactly where you can shop them from the comfort of your own home. Read on to get…

July 31, 2021 at 06:00AM This summer has been a wash out, with a disappointing amount of weekends spent in knitwear and jeans hiding indoors from never-ending downpours. It’s not quite what any of us had in mind for our post-lockdown summer outfits. Autumn collections are now steadily starting to arrive in new-in sections, and the knitwear, padded jackets and tailoring is quite frankly a welcome (and useful) addition to our wardrobes. There are three high street brands in particular that are leading the way when it comes to their autumn collections—Arket, Mango and & Other Stories. There are certain trends they are all embracing, namely sharp tailoring, elevated knitwear that you could wear to work and earthy neutral tones.Keep scrolling to shop the 30 pieces we love from Mango, Arket and & Other Stories.Arket is known for creating elegant, minimal staples that you’ll…

July 31, 2021 at 04:16AM Like taxes and jogging bottoms in lockdown, ankle boots come autumn are a sure thing. This particular piece of footwear is a cornerstone of colder-weather wardrobes and for good reason. Choose carefully, and you’ll live in them for the whole of this winter and the next one too. Scratch that—you’ll wear them all year, even on those chilly spring and summer days. If you haven’t quite made a decision on which ankle boots you’ll be investing in this year, then allow us to help. A couple of notes before we delve into this season’s coming ankle boot trends. While last year there was definitely a focus on those classic hero pieces, in 2021 there’s a renewed love for frivolity but with practicality still in mind. This is especially welcome after the past 18 months and fashion has reacted with giving us…

July 30, 2021 at 08:00AM “Benjamin Buttoning.” Ageing backwards. Stopping time. If there’s one effect or buzzword that elicits the same visceral reaction from beauty editors, skincare experts, and customers alike, it’s anything with the term anti-ageing in it. The truth of the matter is this: There’s no miracle cream, gel, serum or treatment that has the power to actually reverse or halt the signs of ageing on the skin. (Sorry, it just doesn’t exist.) That said, there are a small number of products that come pretty close, and we’re about to share an edit of them below.Per a roster of celebrity makeup artists—Emily Cheng, Naoko Scintu and Emma White Turle—we’re uncovering a curated selection of the best anti-ageing moisturisers. The keyword here being curated because according to them, not every cream or moisturiser on the market works the same. Luckily, they find that the below six do wield high-performing effects…

July 30, 2021 at 08:28AM I don’t know about you, but I spent last night watching the first episode of the new Gossip Girl reboot. Now, we have yet another revival to look forward to because the new Sex and the City show officially began filming in New York City. That’s right: Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte are back in action and wearing some very on-brand outfits for each of their characters. (Sadly, Samantha will not be part of the new spin-off, and her sassy ensembles and witty one-liners will be sorely missed.) Thanks to paparazzi images, we have the very first look at what the ladies are wearing in the show, which will be called And Just Like That… Naturally, shoe-obsessed Carrie is wearing some statement sky-high platform heels with her flouncy skirt and T-shirt. Meanwhile, Miranda is all business in wide-leg Vince trousers, while Charlotte is looking…

July 30, 2021 at 08:00AM After nearly a year of social distancing that’s lead to some unexpectedly long and scraggly lengths, the urge to chop all your hair off might be stronger than ever. While this sentiment might normally be met with blank stares and reminders to exercise caution, it just so happens that short hair is majorly trending right now. And not just the ever-popular bob haircut either. Celebrities, fashion girls, and hairstylists agree that all varieties of short hair are in. Rejoice!So what does that mean for your short-hair aspirations in 2021? Good things, we think! From cuts to colours and all sorts of styles, all things short hair are gaining some well-deserved renewed interest. Ahead, check out the short-hair trends set to dominate this year.

July 30, 2021 at 08:00AM When it comes to this time of the year, it’s totally normal for skin to seem seriously dull. In fact, beyond looking a little lacklustre, it could possibly be feeling tight, dry and sore. If there’s one thing that the beauty world is certain of, it’s that cold weather is rarely good news for your complexion. And don’t I know it. Despite the fact the summer months had my skin radiating an out-of-this-world glow, the start of winter had me sporting a drab, lacklustre and seriously distressed face.At the start of the season, as I emptied out the contents of my makeup bag in the search for any kind of illuminating product to pour over my face/bathe in, I couldn’t help but wonder if my skin would ever get its glow back. Sure, I could slather my cheekbones…

July 30, 2021 at 08:00AM Your age should have absolutely nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear. That said, we often gravitate toward women over 40 for style inspiration given their more experienced points of view. Influencers Erin Busbee and Melissa Meyers are two women we turn to for outfit inspo.Busbee, 46, and Meyers, 56, both consistently post looks on their blogs and Instagram feeds that are equal parts chic and easy. On that note, we were inclined to learn about the key pieces they’re into this season to build some of their strongest looks. They actually shared with us the five trends they both love due to the simple yet directional vibes.Keep scrolling to check out more from Busbee and Meyers, including styling inspiration. There’s also a wide variety of shopping picks if you’re interested in adding one of their go-to trends to your own…

July 30, 2021 at 08:00AM If you’re suddenly finding yourself in need of a throw-on summer dress, we believe one of the best places to go is H&M for affordable but expensive-looking pieces. Whether you want something long and dramatic or mini with cut-outs, H&M has lots of beautiful casual dresses to choose from. The only thing to note about a good H&M dress is it tends to sell out pretty quickly, so we can’t guarantee that the 16 below will be around for long. There are several details that the brand is leaning into for summer 2021, including double spaghetti straps, oversized puff sleeves, open backs with criss-cross straps and smocked bodices. Keep scrolling to see our edit of the 20 H&M dresses we love. Next up, these are the trending H&M items the style set is loving this summer. Author Emma Spedding | Whowhatwear Selected…

July 30, 2021 at 07:45AM Like a family member who sends you a Christmas spreadsheet in March, I’m that person who plans what I’m wearing for a September wedding when it's still the middle of summer. While nuptials have been allowed to take place with more than 15 people for a while, now with restrictions fully eased, there’s more chance of being invited to last-minute weddings. Which begs the question, what do you wear to an autumn wedding?   This problem can be easily rectified thanks to the many brilliantly dressed influencers who know just how to adapt their wardrobe for an autumn wedding. To help, I’ve also broken up the different months into different kinds of outfits because, let’s be real, the kind of thing you can wear in September probably isn’t going to be weather appropriate come November.For September, you’ll probably want to stick to a…
