Who What Wear

March 26, 2022 at 06:30AM For most of my life, I have been blessed with pretty clear and even skin. While many of my friends battled with acne at school and throughout their teenage years, my skin stayed clear and blemish-free. That was until I hit my late 20s and I started to develop adult acne. Since then, I struggle to name a time that my face hasn’t had some sort of breakout or blemish. It is as though every time a spot started to heal, another would crop up. And so, I have been in a three-year cycle of breakouts, healing and scarring.However, since seeking professional help from a dermatologist last year, things have been looking up. I haven’t had a notable breakout in four months (which is almost miraculous), and in terms of active spots, my skin is probably the clearest it has been…

March 26, 2022 at 06:16AM Regardless of what our summer plans look like, as the weather gets hotter, we always gravitate towards simpler, easy-to-style items. So we’ve looked through hundreds of collections to bring you a concise edit of 29 pieces that we think are no-brainers for this summer and years beyond. The below items are some of the simplest but most effective throw-on styles we have found that will make getting dressed in the morning a little easier. From April onwards, we often lean on timeless separates, and these are what our editors are wearing for days at home, afternoons in the sunshine or al fresco dining. The easy-to-style buys we rate and would add to any summer capsule include elegant T-shirt dresses, comfortable Birkenstock sandals, linen trousers and throw-on dresses. The items below all have a minimalistic aesthetic, meaning they seamlessly mix and match together and…

March 26, 2022 at 06:14AM Thanks to the rising temperatures, many of us are now on a frantic search for the perfect pair of sandals. If you are yet to have any success on your mission, we’re here to cut out hours of trawling the internet to find you the perfect pair.We’ve put together the ultimate shortlist of the sandals that will see you through the entire season and many more summers to come. After a debate in the Who What Wear office, our fashion editors decided that there are five styles of sandals that will see you through every warm-weather occasion coming up this year.First up, we have the flat, slip-on sandals that have been favourites for many seasons, followed by the archival appeal of fisherman sandals, which will work for coastal walks or a day of window shopping. Then, on the other end of the sandal spectrum, we…

March 26, 2022 at 06:02AM Finding the best pieces on the high street is hard work, even for editors whose job it is to do so. With so many websites and new-in sections to cover, it takes dedication and, quite literally, an entire team to ensure we don’t miss an incredible new drop or a soon-to-be best seller as we scroll. Another method we use to ensure we see every high-street piece going? Instagram. There’s a handful of influencers who we religiously follow solely for their loyalty to the high street (something we have in common), and we thought it was high time we shared them with you.Whether it’s uncovering the sleekest minimalistic items from Arket, spotlighting expensive-looking wardrobe essentials from H&M or unearthing the next cult buy from & Other Stories, these influencers are an extension of our in-house affordable fashion–loving army.

March 26, 2022 at 06:00AM When you’re searching for the perfect version of a certain wardrobe basic, it can come down to the smallest of details: the curve of a neckline, the exact shade of blue or the way a hemline grazes your calf just so. Well, this has definitely been the case in my recent search for the perfect pair of spring trousers.Despite being a confident dresser, I find that I struggle during the warmer months, and it doesn’t exactly help that I don’t wear many dresses. My thinking was that I’d just live in loose beige trousers, white T-shirts and chunky sandals for most of the summer. However, this meant finding a pair of beige trousers that didn’t look like I had just stepped out of a university sports club social.So what was I looking for? I wanted a wide, slouchy leg; ever so slightly low-slung waistline; and a pale…

March 26, 2022 at 06:00AM At Who What Wear, we’re major Bridgerton and fragrance fans. And as season two arrives (anyone else binged it already?) the office soon got chatting about the leading ladies of Bridgerton and what fragrance they would be.With the arrival of spring, we are already switching up our winter perfumes for these classic spring fragrances, and we know the scents that will bag you the most compliments so, it was only natural that we cast our noses to what the Bridgerton characters might wear as they navigate the soirees and scandals of the 1800s.With that in mind, you are cordially invited to read on to find out what fragrances the ladies of the ton might spritz…Daphne radiates an understated elegance. During her numerous social engagements, her fragrance would whisper rather than shout to the suitors of the ballroom. Jo Malone’s delicate…

March 26, 2022 at 06:00AM Okay, I admit it— I have expensive taste. When it comes to building my closet as a fashion editor in my thirties, I tend to err on the side of minimalist tailoring and elevated basics which tend to look better in beautiful, expensive fabrics. Often I think to myself I could do with an extra few zeros on the end of my bank balance to be able to indulge my fantasy of owning a capsule wardrobe filled with brands like The Row, Totême and sustainable pieces from Chloé or Stella McCartney. But in reality, that’s far from a priority— and after almost a decade of working in the industry I’ve had to get resourceful with my shopping habits in order to find the most expensive-looking pieces for more affordable prices. Not to toot my own horn, but I’ve gotten…

March 26, 2022 at 06:00AM In terms of beauty, nothing has the power to transition your look through different seasons quite like a manicure or nail art. Just as moody tones are synonymous with winter, bright and bold hues go hand in hand with summer styling, and that’s precisely what we’re seeing more of in terms of nails right now. You need only scroll on Instagram to see that colourful manicures are currently trending, as are fresh shades of blue and green. Nail art is once again proving seriously popular, with everything from pastels to the multicoloured French tips making an appearance on our feeds. But which summer nail trend is right for you? To help you decide, we’ve rounded up 11 must-know looks for you to consider. Scroll on to see them and to shop the varnishes and tools you need to re-create them for yourself. French tips are back…

March 25, 2022 at 09:00AM Us Brits have long relied on Marks & Spencer. Before online shopping was even a thing, it was there for us for everything from school supplies to underwear and, of course, the all important coats and boots. There may now be a plethora of places to turn to for your new season wardrobe, but M&S has remained one of our favourite high street go-tos, and for good reason. Not only do we rely on it for the essentials now, in recent years the brand has stepped up its fashion game and provided us with some seriously stylish additions that boast both quality and good-looks. As a team, we’re not embarrassed to say we have a passion for scrolling through the M&S website, or popping into our local store on our lunch break to browse the new-in sections. So often we’ve…

March 25, 2022 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…
