Who What Wear

July 26, 2021 at 06:12AM Ah, denim. Where would our wardrobes be without it? We dread to think. Still, however integral to our daily looks it may be, it’s still seldom makes an appearance on the high-fashion runways. At least that was considered to be the case, until a host of designers began giving it the ultimate seal of approval by incorporating it into the catwalk collections. Now, denim regularly appears in the seasonal line-ups of everyone, from Chanel to Dior, as well as the brands known for their more casual aesthetics, such as Chloé and Celine. It just goes to show, that there’s a place for denim, no matter what your fashion preference may be. But what of this year’s top denim trends? As we start to look forward to the autumn season, we thought it was time we charted the need-to-know denim trends to have on your radar…

July 26, 2021 at 06:00AM India wears a white midi dress by Free People. Us Brits like nothing more than to moan about the weather, and the high temperatures we’ve seen this month have made us all a bit, well, hot and bothered. The key to staying cool in a heatwave is a simple throw-on summer dress, that will look polished, but feels light and comfortable. If you haven’t found the perfect sundress yet this summer, we can help you out. Zara, Free People, Nobody’s Child and COS are four high street brands in particular which create dresses that are ideal for hot and lazy summer days.If you like oversized silhouettes and a neutral colour palette, we recommend you head to COS. Nobody’s Child has mastered the pretty printed dress, with midis and minis in cute ginghams and florals. Free People is known for its whimsical…

July 26, 2021 at 06:00AM The process of refining your wardrobe into a functioning, well-oiled machine is not one that happens overnight. It takes time to work out what items you actually wear, and often it will be the pieces you least expect. Someone once taught me a trick to turn all your clothes hangers the same way, then when you wear each item, you turn each coat hanger around. The result? A very clear representation of the items you do and don’t wear. Smart, right? Well, clearly I’m not the only one who knows the power of a good basic, as NET-A-PORTER has just launched a ‘Wardrobe Heroes’ category which speaks to exactly this.Filled with time-tested staples, the section is essentially a ready-made wardrobe capsule, however there are certain pieces that particularly stand out to me. Over the course of my career, I have whittled down my own 'wardrobe…

July 26, 2021 at 06:00AM Skincare is a subject I take seriously, and when I meet individuals who have amazing skin, I’ll be the first to pick their brains on the ins and outs of their skincare routine. Most people would ask a new person they meet what they do for a living. I ask a new person how they’ve cleansed throughout their life. (What can I say? I just need to know.) And when it comes to skincare, we can learn a thing or two from our wiser counterparts. These women have spent the better half of a lifetime trying, testing and evaluating the best products that work for their visages. Eager to learn more about what our over-50 friends are using on a daily basis, I tapped into a handful of women with particularly good skin and asked them to share…

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…
