Who What Wear

July 30, 2021 at 06:20AM As someone who always said they preferred getting dressed in the cooler months to the warmer ones, I have to say, I have been enjoying basking in the glorious sunshine we’ve been treated to lately, however uncharacteristic that may be. It’s been nice rediscovering the dresses I negated to wear last year and wearing them with little else but sandals without the risk of feeling the chill. Still, as the saying goes, a leopard can’t change its spots, and already, my mind is beginning to wander to my autumn wardrobe.Autumn, I think, presents the perfect time to assemble outfits. Not too hot, nor too cold, you can experiment with layers and heavier textures, such as leather, and come up with more inventive looks than at any other point in the year. And one of the first things I always…

July 30, 2021 at 06:00AM A common misconception about short hair is it’s difficult to style in new ways. And while we admit there may be less to work with, short strands can boast a new style day after day. If you lack options in your hairstyle wardrobe, chances are you just need a little inspiration to spark your next look. Ahead, 25 styles that’ll make styling your short ‘do easier than ever.The half-up bun secured with a scrunchie will never not be cute.

July 30, 2021 at 06:00AM If you’re still holding out for that second August heatwave, then you might want to look away now, because I’m about to rain on your parade (quite literally—have you seen the weather outside?) I’ve always been drawn towards the enveloping silhouettes of autumn, partly because I can’t stand the sweaty logistics that come with heatwave dressing, but also because there’s so much more creative potential in layering. I find that there’s only so much you can do with a summer dress.Autumn is a time to experiment with statement jackets, create unexpected pairings with blouses and jumpers and give your midi dresses an edge with chunky boots and equally chunky knits. So yes, it might only be July, but I’m already scouting out the cold weather outfits that I plan on recreating the moment the mercury drops.Many of my chosen looks centre on tailored hero pieces,…

July 30, 2021 at 06:00AM I’m not quite sure where my love for eyeliner stems from, but I think it’s probably some combination of growing up in the era of Tumbler where basically ever inspirational quote was accompanied by a picture of someone with the most immaculate cat-eye you’ve ever seen. Or maybe it was watching my older sister carefully applying a thick layer of eyeliner for school every single morning, despite it being against school rules. There’s no doubt though, that wherever my inspiration came from originally, my love of eyeliner has only grown throughout the years.However, since the days of applying unintentionally thick, super uneven black flicks, I’ve found a new statement look: colourful eyeliner. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that a makeup look for me just isn’t complete without some form vibrant eyeliner; whether it’s green, blue, pink, or yellow, I’m…

July 30, 2021 at 05:55AM Would you like a head start on autumn’s top trends? Then you’ve come to the right place, friend! Not only do we have a bumper edit of what’s going to dominate for the next half of the year via our autumn 2021 trend report, but below is the rundown of what’s new-in thanks to the pre-fall 2021 collections that are currently dropping into stores as I type. They are, as the name gives away, the precursor to your cold-weather wardrobes. These in-between-season ranges act as the jumping-off points for many designers, and you’ll see key themes carrying through, creating a reliable indicator of what’s going to be on every wish list across the land for the next six months at the very minimum. Additionally, pre-fall is known for being more commercially minded and therefore easier to wear than more avant-garde runway collections, so it’s…

July 29, 2021 at 10:11AM Unless you’ve been living in a cave with no internet for the past week, you’re probably aware that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are in Italy to celebrate her 52nd birthday. They’re really making the rounds in the country (as one does when they have a yacht), and one of their latest stops was Capri.While out sightseeing, accompanied by paparazzi and a very large crowd of eager fans, Bennifer put their 2.0 couple style on display. They both dressed casually—Affleck in a T-shirt and khaki pants and Lopez in a white shorts set and glamorous straw hat—with one matching item we couldn’t help but notice: aviator sunglasses.Both Lopez and Affleck have been wearing aviator sunglasses for years, so it’s probably just a coincidence, but either way, it’s cute, and we look forward to many more matching couples moments from these two. Scroll on to shop J-Lo’s look and…

July 29, 2021 at 08:00AM If you’re a regular reader of Who What Wear, you’re probably well acquainted with Kate Middleton’s wardrobe. She dresses pretty classically, but occasionally she’ll surprise us with something a bit different (case in point: this chic outfit with Warehouse and Chanel). The list of the designers she often turns to is pretty definite: often Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham and occasionally Erdem, Emilia Wickstead and Roksanda. But it’s not just the more expensive end of the spectrum she’s a fan of. She regularly wears high-street pieces from a range of brands, from Superga sneakers to & Other Stories dresses. But, and I’m going to put my stake in the ground here, her favourite store has to be Zara.For years she’s worn pieces from the high-street brand and always makes them look super expensive. Yesterday she attended a Euros game with…

July 29, 2021 at 08:00AM We’ve encountered enough badass women in their 40s, 50, 60s, and beyond to know that there are tons of outdated clichés about aging. Gone are the days where women are pressured to dress a certain way the second we hit age 40 or stop wearing our favorite makeup. (Although, there are formulas that work better for mature skin.) The general attitude around aging has seen a major shift for the better in recent years, and there’s a sense of liberation that’s come along with it that we absolutely love. While the number of years we’ve been on this earth doesn’t have to control our lives, there are, indeed, some unavoidable shifts that come up the further along we get, including changes to our hair. For this reason, many women start to consider different haircuts by the time we hit age 50.“The hair sometimes tends to…

July 29, 2021 at 08:00AM If you have fine hair, you’ve probably gone through your fair share of dry shampoo, fringes sticking to your face, and curls that fall out within minutes. Styling fine hair and experimenting with cuts in the search for volume can often be tricky to master. Going for the crop or styling your already-short hair might be all you need to do to work with the texture that you’ve got. Short hair means volume, and that’s always what we’re going for, right? Thanks to some expert advice from Michael Lendon, creative director of Aveda, and Christel Lundqvist, founder of Stil Salon, we’ve got some pro tips for you to implement. Combine that with the best product picks for adding volume and texture, and you’ll be well on your way to finding the best hairstyle to make your routine easier. Ready for some style inspiration?
