Who What Wear

July 26, 2021 at 11:39AM I know our readers love a good royal wedding, but this weekend the best I could do is serve you up a fantastic royalty-adjacent bridal look to whet your appetite before Princess Charlotte finds her partner. Princess Diana’s niece, Kitty Spencer, just got married in Rome, Italy, and the ceremony had all the trappings of a royalty-worthy affair. On Saturday, Spencer married South Africa–born businessman Michael Lewis at the Villa Aldobrandini wearing a custom Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda lace wedding dress with statement shoulders.  According to the brand, the gown was inspired by the Victorian style of the 1800s. After getting married, Spencer changed into an unexpected number for her reception: She nixed a white dress in favor of a beautiful blue frock embroidered with pink flowers, also by Dolce & Gabbana. Scroll down to see the photos. Congratulations to the newlyweds!On Kitty…

July 26, 2021 at 11:07AM I don’t want to sound like a fashion cliché but I think I’ve fallen in love with a jumper. To be fair, the pullover in question has all the attributes I’m looking for—it’s striped, loose-fitting and, crucially, looks way more expensive than it is. The piece I’m referring to comes from Arket and costs £69—the brand has reissued this jumper after similar versions sold out earlier in the year, and I (along with the rest of the Who What Wear team) have been waiting for this new drop ever since. It’s not really surprising that we’re all falling over ourselves for this high-street item, considering this is very similar to the incredibly expensive Celine version, so this feels like a real bargain. This time there are two versions for us to choose from: a blue jumper with white stripes and a white jumper with…

July 26, 2021 at 11:16AM It’s a truth universally acknowledged that Jennifer Lopez can wear absolutely anything and pull it off like a pro. The latest example? J.Lo was photographed in Los Angeles wearing an oversized button-down shirt sans trousers—because who needs them in that heat?—along with a lightweight sweater and a Coach x Jean-Michel Basquiat bag.The shirt-as-a-dress look reminds me of a recent Megan Fox outfit. Great minds think alike. J.Lo also wore chunky, platform sneakers that are very in line with the resurgence of Y2K trends this year, so even though her actual pair from The Kooples are sold out, you’ll find plenty of other options available now. Scroll down to shop her shoes as well as other pieces to recreate the easy, breezy summer outfit. On Jennifer Lopez: The Kooples White Thick Sole Lace Up Sneakers (£260—now sold out); Coach x Jean-Michel Basquiat bagNext: 8 Denim Trends We’ll All…

July 26, 2021 at 08:00AM Working out what your skin really needs to look and feel its best can be tricky, but there are a few steps that skin experts unanimously agree should be part of a good skincare routine. First, a good cleanser; think of this step as the foundation on which the rest of your routine is built. Second, an SPF; wearing sun protection is the one piece of skincare advice that I hear most from dermatologists for preventing everything from signs of ageing to pigmentation. Third, moisturiser is vital for every skin type, from oily to dry, for repairing the skin’s barrier and maintaining hydration levels. Finally, a serum, which is possibly one of my favourite steps in my skincare routine and one that Kate Moss’s facialist told me is key to maintaining youthful, glowy skin.However, serums undoubtedly have a bit of a bad reputation for being costly, so it’s understandable that many people…

July 26, 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…

July 26, 2021 at 08:00AM Why is it that I have a terrible memory when it comes to people’s names and dates of significant events but can remember the exact dress my second cousin wore to my other second cousin’s wedding six years ago? If that’s not an important life skill, I don’t know what is. Joking aside, my photographic fashion memory, naturally, comes in very handy for my job. As soon as I see something that piques my interest, be it shoes, a bag or, indeed, a dress, I archive it away in my mind for future reference. It sits there until it can be transformed into an interesting feature for Who What Wear. Today, I’m ready to share my most recent observation with you.A few weeks ago, I spotted chic French influencer Léna Farl wearing a beautiful printed dress from Yolke. I’ve known…

July 26, 2021 at 08:00AM Over the years, I’ve accumulated quite a nice collection of lingerie, had multiple bra fittings and received quotes from some of the biggest experts in the industry on the dos and don'ts of lingerie across the board. Most of these rules are easy enough to follow, except for one (at least for me). During my most recent lingerie fitting for a story I wrote on what it’s like to wear lingerie sets for a week straight, the saleswoman assisting me told me that if I’m not storing my lingerie properly, I’m basically killing it, not getting my money’s worth, and so on and so forth.Instantly I switched into panic mode as I realised all my lingerie was currently stuffed in my drawer along with the rest of my five-for-£20 underwear and random assortment of sports bras. In other words,…

July 26, 2021 at 06:14AM I don’t need to tell you gingham isn’t exactly a groundbreaking or new print. If you went to primary school in the UK and wore a dress, you almost definitely wore a version of it at some point. The print loved by Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz has, unsurprisingly, been around for centuries. In fact, it’s thought to have originated in Southeast Asia and was later seen in the 18th century in mills in Manchester. But, my, has it come a long way in recent years. No longer just a twee preppy print associated with school-girl pinafores; now, it’s the peak of summer style, the go-to motif of those in the know, and it can fit in seamlessly with any wardrobe set-up.In the fashion calendar, gingham always comes back into play in the warmer months. This is why we always recommend investing…
