Who What Wear

March 19, 2022 at 09:00AM 2022 is already proving to be the year of the trouser. Tailored and slouchy, cargo, low-rise, leather— you name it, people want to wear it. But one shape in particular is pulling ahead as the most popular trouser trend, and it’s unsurprising really. Wide leg trousers are the smart yet relaxed staple everyone from celebrities to our favourite influencers are wearing right now, and when you consider they’re comfy, chic and a really easy way to make an outfit look polished— it totally makes sense. They’ve quickly become one of our most-wanted categories on Who What Wear, and all our friends— fashion or not— are asking us where to find the best ones. It helps that they’re extremely versatile. Trainers, boots, loafers— they all go with wide-legs, and since they’re inherently smart, you can pair them with any of the above…

March 19, 2022 at 08:00AM The topic of dark circles within the beauty industry is one that has frustrated me for as long as I can remember. You see, I came into this world sporting an impressive pair of purple rings underneath my eyes. I have spent most of my life batting off concerns from people that I look tired, drained and unwell. Honestly, I’m fine. It’s just my dark circles.For many, dark circles don’t come about because of lifestyle choices. Sure, things like dehydration, lack of sleep and a poor skincare routine can worsen the situation, but for people like me, dark circles are permanent fixtures. Elizabeth Hawkes, consultant ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeon at the Cadogan Clinic, explains, “The term ‘dark circles’ is used to describe increased pigmentation of the under-eye and is a very common concern. The skin around the eye is unique. There…

March 19, 2022 at 08:00AM For the longest time, Victoria Beckham subscribed to her Posh aesthetic—think lots of black (or at the very least, muted) outfits and a whole host of tailoring. Of course, these pieces still populate her wardrobe, but we have noticed that VB has been gradually introducing more colour into her outfits over the last couple of years. It might have started subtly, but now, even with public appearances becoming rare, when we do see her step out, she’s often sporting clashing, block colours in ways we wouldn’t have been able to predict a decade ago. And her latest look is a testament to just how experimental her style has become. This week, for Saint Laurent’s A/W 22 runway show during Paris Fashion Week, it wasn’t David that VB had on her arm. Instead, she was accompanied by her son Romeo in what…

March 19, 2022 at 08:00AM Lately, I’ve noticed an uptick in the number of classic outfits landing on the fashion set. I attribute it to the impact the lockdowns have had on our wardrobes—fewer occasions to wear trendy items and a larger focus on buying great staples and investment pieces. But that isn’t to say that trendy fashion is fading away. Micro miniskirts, oversized leather jackets, Y2K style, high-impact colours and a fresh crop of micro-trends are in full force for spring.No matter where you land on the trend-adoption spectrum, though, it’s always a great idea to have an array of timeless looks on standby. With a small collection of wardrobe capsule pieces, you can create a number of polished, easy looks that work season after season. It all comes down to some simple styling ideas. Ahead, see the best classic outfits to wear now.These closet staples are the…

March 19, 2022 at 08:00AM Six years ago, my family experienced a huge scare when my then 65-year-old mom was rushed to the ER in order to receive an emergency cardioversion—aka a medical paddle used to restart her heart. The day before the trip to the emergency room, we’d been travelling, and my mom (who has since discovered she has an extreme sensitivity to sugar) had a pumpkin spice latte and an almond-filled French pastry for breakfast and then later on after dinner a small vanilla ice cream cone. As she explains, it was enough sugar (at least for her) to send her heart into atrial fibrillation, or an uneven heart rhythm.“As scary as the experience was, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise,” she tells me. “I banished heavy sugar doses from my diet and noticed that my skin started…

March 19, 2022 at 08:00AM One of the things I always love the most about this season is abandoning the many layers (so long, puffer coat!) and revisiting my dress wardrobe. New-in sections are helping me indulge in my dress daydreaming, as every day is bringing with it new summery items to scroll through.Floral tea dresses and check midi dresses are hardly groundbreaking, but these throw-on styles always sell out at record speed. For the past few years, we have all gravitated towards dresses with plenty of chuck-on appeal. However, with offices reopened and events back in the diary, there are also lots of more playful options for 2022. Think lime-green silk, very pretty pleated midi dresses and wedding-ready florals. There are 28 dresses, in particular, that I think will be a welcome addition to any wardrobe this spring. Keep scrolling to see my edit of the best dresses I’ve…

March 19, 2022 at 08:00AM For the longest time, I felt I was on the outside looking in on the slip-dress trend. I’m busty and prefer to wear a bra at all times, but when you’re a 32G, even strapless bras can peek out over the top of your dresses. So I resigned myself to the fact that, as much as I loved them, slip dresses were a trend I’d have to sit out on. Then along came Ghost’s Palm Dress. Acting assistant editor Maxine Eggenberger wears the Ghost Palm dress in ivory with a cream coat, tan handbag and suede knee-high boots. Since breaking out on the fashion scene, Ghost has become one of my all-time-favourite dress brands. I own its iconic Jenna Dress in three colourways (blue, black and pink, in case you’re wondering), which I managed to snap up in various sales. I’ve also…

March 19, 2022 at 08:00AM Although Jennifer Lopez is often dressed to the nines (she does have plenty of occasions to dress up for, after all), she’s also no stranger to a good loungewear look. Whether she opts for leggings, track pants, a matching set or sweatpants, Lopez always looks completely put-together and stylish. This time, it was a jogger look that she mastered.There’s nothing new about people wearing sweatpants outside the house, especially over the past couple of years. We thought we’d covered every possible jogger outfit trend imaginable, but J.Lo just found another one, and it’s particularly fresh for 2022. The reason? She paired an oversize bomber jacket—from & Other Stories, no less—with her grey baggy sweats and Nike Air Jordans. You probably remember that bomber jackets were absolutely everywhere at one time, but did you know they’re a thing again? Only this time around, it’s…

March 19, 2022 at 08:00AM Midi hemlines have dominated the skirt scene for years, but times are a-changing. Last year, as the world started to open up again, we saw a meteoric rise—no pun intended—in mini hemlines as fashion devotees reclaimed glamour and reintroduced impracticality into their wardrobes. But what does the future hold for skirts this year? Well, if the S/S 22 runways are anything to go by (spoiler: they are), then maxi hemlines are set to be all the rage.It’s been a while since maxi skirts were on the style agenda, but as Who What Wear UK’s editor in chief, Hannah Almassi, noted in our bumper trend report, “key brands such as Louis Vuitton and Givenchy [are] backing the cut. There is a Y2K lilt to these hemlines descending, with simple tube styles that fit closer to the ankles being more present than,…
