Who What Wear

March 17, 2022 at 12:00PM I might not have much in common with Katie Holmes, but we are the same height (5'9"), so I have a feeling she could relate to my neverending quest to find flats that are actually cute. But tall girls are far from the only people who want the practicality of flats without sacrificing style. French girls like Leia Sfez and Tamara Mory, for instance, love Chanel’s iconic slingback flats, but they can be considerably out of reach for the average shopper—that’s why I was excited to see Holmes wearing slingbacks that have the same vibe. Photographed in New York City, Holmes wore Kate Spade New York Veronica Slingback Flats (£190), which come in four different colours. Holmes paired her white versions with a beautiful butterfly-bedecked dress, also by Kate Spade New York. As we’ve already identified, flat slingback shoes are a footwear favourite amongst French women,…

March 17, 2022 at 08:38AM Alexa Chung is just one celebrity who has worn a specific Mango coat of late. Few things make the Who What Wear team speechless, but when we spotted not one, not two, not three, but fourstylish celebrities wearing the same Mango coat, for a moment, we were legitimately lost for words. Of course, celebrities wearing high-street isn’t a one-off phenomenon—those whose looks we’re going to break down today have certainly worn their fair share of affordable buys in their time. But seldom do we see several celebs all opt for the same piece and wear it within a matter of days of each other. Gigi Hadid wears a Mango coat with split-hem leggings and lace-up boots. Mango’s coats have been incredibly strong this season, but never before have they been given so much attention from the A-list. Katie Holmes was the first celebrity…

March 17, 2022 at 08:00AM If there’s one thing we know to be true about French women and fashion, it’s that they love to keep an unfussy wardrobe. Key pieces they always have on standby include a perfect white shirt, a well-tailored black blazer and classic black heels. They also love their jeans. But we’re not talking about any old denim style. Our columnist Marissa Cox told us back in September last year that since she moved to Paris, she discovered that French girls love straight-leg jeans. And while we’re sure no Parisian woman is going to ditch those anytime soon, we’ve got new intel that says French girls are now loving another style. According to data from Lyst, the global fashion search platform, high-rise wide-leg jeans are the exact style French women—in particular, Parisian women—can’t get enough of right now. In fact, searches…

March 17, 2022 at 08:00AM Over the past few years, there has been a growing appreciation for classic items that are resistant to fickle trend cycles. There are a number of factors that have contributed to this shift, including the collective drive to create a more timeless, hard-wearing wardrobe in order to slow down our consumption combined with the pandemic, which means we are all wearing more practical and simpler outfits. Many of the cult buys for 2022 are actually items that have been hero purchases for decades and so will have a permanent place in your wardrobe. One item, in particular, that is selling out rapidly across the high street this month is monochrome striped jumpers. This is an item that will always be popular, and in particular, we love knits that combine cream and black and have an oversized fit. Celine is partly responsible for making…

March 17, 2022 at 08:00AM When it comes to our body, time takes its toll on just about all of it. And although we know all too well what ageing does to our skin, when it comes to other areas of our beauty regimens, age is rarely factored in. From swapping in serums that tackle fine lines and wrinkles to acid treatments that work against age spots and pigmentation, products that cater to ageing skin seem to be everywhere. But what about our hair?It turns out that besides going grey, ageing can affect our hair in a number of ways. From thinning to dryness, the ways in which our hair deals with getting older means that as time goes by, we may need to change up our routine. And one of the most effective ways we can do that is by trying out…

March 17, 2022 at 08:00AM If you started the New Year wanting to be more regimented with your skincare routine, just know that you’re not alone. A new year, after all, marks a time for change and resolution. For many, an effective and considered skincare routine acts as the perfect way to feel pulled-together and in control.The downside to skincare-related New Year’s resolutions, however, is that it is very easy to fall at the first hurdle. A seemingly quick and innocent search for skincare advice will only leave you bombarded with an abundance of oftentimes conflicting information on all things cleansing, serums, retinol, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, moisturiser, SPF and so on.With so much information out there, we don’t blame you if you’re feeling a little bamboozled. You see, we beauty insiders can all too often get caught up in the nuances and forget to address the real…
