Who What Wear

April 21, 2022 at 06:34AM Being a fashion editor comes in handy more than you’d think. I’ve helped friends and family assemble outfits for job interviews, only to be offered the job afterwards. Coincidence? I think not. I’ve sourced sold-out items on resale sites for those desperately seeking them, and I’m always happy to debate more significant investments. Above all else, however, my decade-long experience working in fashion is most valued by brides-to-be and their mothers when it comes to finding not the wedding dress, but the mother of the bride dress.


I’ve been a bridesmaid a handful of times and a guest more often than I can count, and I’m almost always drafted in to help with the search for the perfect mother of the bride outfit. After all, there’s a lot to consider when it comes to finding the perfect mother of…

April 21, 2022 at 06:28AM First glimpse of the sun and we’re ready to ditch our layers in favour of the most versatile one-pieces: dresses. Name any occasion, and there’s a dress for it. And one of our favourite hobbies (yes, you can call it that) is perusing the new-in section at NET-A-PORTER for styles that are bound to reach cult status. It’s a task, though, with so many impressive styles all in one spot. But we’ve managed to narrow it down to five dress iterations we know everyone will be wearing from spring through summer. Can you guess which dresses made the cut?This Zeynep Arcay knit midi in pink is ticking off so many trends. Of course, dopamine dressing is high on the agenda, with yellow dresses delivering a sartorial hit of vitamin D and making their way to our number-one spot. Then there…

April 21, 2022 at 06:24AM Warmer weather is officially on the horizon, which means it’s officially dress season. Sure, dresses can be worn year-round but there is nothing like donning your favourites in easy, breezy mild temperatures. Can you tell that I am more than ready to put away my heavy coats, weatherproof boots, and scarves? Anything to swap out the heavy layers for lighter pieces. Whether you lean towards minimalist dresses, cheeky options that show a little skin, or striking prints, the beauty of dresses is that there is something for every personal style. The shoe options available to pair them with make them even more versatile thanks to the endless choices of strappy sandals, chic trainers, slide sandals, and more. Basically, dresses are a one-and-done piece that makes it super easy to get ready, plus most options can be dressed up or down making…

April 21, 2022 at 06:18AM Bianca Foley is an influencer and sustainable fashion expert who we follow closely because she’s super-skilled at bringing together style with more conscious ways to consume. From amazing secondhand pieces and inspiring ways to rewear, through to her thoughts around rental, alterations and new sustainable brands, Foley is our go-to girl both via her Instagram (@biancaffoley) and via the podcast she co-hosts, Sustainably Influenced. For the next three months she’ll be sharing her intel with you, starting with her journey from self-confessed fashion addict to a more sensible shopper…I started my journey with ethical consumption about 8 years ago, just as I was getting into the blogging space. At that time, it was trendy for everyone to post their daily #ootd and wear, what to me, looked like brand new looks, every. Single. Day. My small wardrobe and even smaller bank account…

April 21, 2022 at 06:00AM As someone who has a 71-year-old beauty fanatic as her mother (surprising I became a beauty editor, right?), I know all too well the trials and tribulations surrounding foundation and mature skin. Of course, finding the best foundation for your skin texture, tone and type is hard enough at any age, but when you throw into the mix age-related conundrums like discolouration from sun damage, fine lines or wrinkles and dehydration, the challenge only gets steeper.Being that my mum is an actual makeup artist, I’ve definitely absorbed some of her wisdom and tips over the years—minimal, if any, powder and absolutely no super-matte formulas. She has flawless skin (both with and without makeup), so I’ve taken her guidance to heart. That said, I was interested to compare notes with some of the top celebrity makeup artists in the industry who regularly cater to Hollywood’s leading ladies 40…

April 20, 2022 at 05:09AM When it comes to her fashion and beauty aesthetic, Hailey Bieber has two trademarks. The first is a minimalist wardrobe that’s comprised of elevated staple pieces. (I’m talking about oversize leather jackets, baggy jeans, and white T-shirts.) The second is a glowing complexion. (Bright, light-reflective skin is the foundation for every single one of her makeup looks.) . Seeing as I’m a beauty writer, I have a tendency to focus on the latter. Can you blame me? I write about skin for a living, and Bieber is basically the poster child for that lit-from-within look. Plus, I work pretty tirelessly to achieve that look for myself, so of course, I’m going to perk up and pay attention when she talks about the products and devices she uses. Imagine my delight when, in a recent YouTube video, she revealed the exact vitamin C serum she uses to maintain her exceedingly even complexion.…

April 20, 2022 at 01:40PM Easy outfits—is there anything more satisfying than throwing on a couple of wardrobe basics, turning to see your reflection in the mirror, and what you see just works? It’s what I live for and what I’m sure Stacey Dooley experienced when she assembled her latest look.Jeans are a failsafe in any wardrobe, but I’ll be the first to admit that I can get a little tired of thinking up fresh ways to style them. This is precisely why I saved Dooley’s latest IG post. Sharing a snap of her outfit, I was impressed at just how good she made the baggy jean trend look by styling hers with another essential ‘90s staple; chunky thong sandals.I would go as far as to say that Stacey’s jean-and-sandal pairing is “new”, but it is a combination I personally haven’t thought to…

April 20, 2022 at 08:00AM Thin hair can be difficult to style. Trust me—I know. I’ve tried to make my naturally thin hair look thicker and fuller ever since I was in middle school and my mum let me get my hands on a hot tool. Since then, I’ve cycled through plenty of hairstyles, volumising products, and thickening techniques. Some have worked, but most haven’t. That’s okay. Somewhere along the way, I’ve learned to live and work with my naturally thin hair (sigh), and the style I choose to wear it in has a lot to do with that. For example, I’ve learned a slick-straight style doesn’t do my thin hair any favours, which is why I tend to go with tousled, textured waves instead. So yeah, I had my opinions on what hairstyles work best for my thin, medium-length hair, but I was wondering what experts…

April 20, 2022 at 08:00AM When it comes to outfit styling, few events provide as much inspiration as fashion week. Bringing together the fashion world’s most stylish individuals, these events act as a one-stop shop for outfit ideas and styling inspo.With spring well and truly here, I’ve been thinking about the season’s staples and pondering the best trouser-and-shoe pairings. Wide-leg trousers have always illuded me, as they seem to be a particularly difficult item to pair with footwear. (Evidently, I’m not alone. We’ve recently seen an increase in searches of the phrase “shoes to wear with wide-leg trousers.”)Luckily, the street style at Copenhagen Fashion Week, which is always attended by sleek dressers, offered up plenty of inspiration on this exact topic and was a veritable masterclass in how to style wide-leg trousers. Whether you’re looking to style flared jeans, wide-leg leather pants or traditional suit trousers,…
