Who What Wear

March 17, 2022 at 07:00AM The sun has finally arrived! And not just the chilly, blue sky kind— actual warmth on your face, remove-a-layer kind of sunshine. And all we can say is hoo-rah. We were due a bit of respite, weren’t we? The next few weeks is looking positively balmy compared to all the drizzle we’ve had to endure, which means it’s finally time to start getting excited about spring fashion once again. Yes, that means the elevating power of trench coats, the ease of a simple blazer and jeans outfit, and the joy of throwing on your favourite dress with trainers— it’s all back. I don’t know about you but my over-worked winter wardrobe is welcoming it with open arms. If you haven’t already, this week is the perfect time to unearth your spring wardrobe from its vacuum packs or storage boxes and…

March 17, 2022 at 06:35AM Want to know what to wear to a restaurant? We can help with that. A meal out presents the ideal opportunity to really dress up and unearth those fancier items from the back of your wardrobe. It seems this novelty isn’t wearing thin yet, either. Just last week, I saw people wearing their fanciest frocks to eat a burger in a pub—and why not? If you want a night out of your tracksuit bottoms and are ready to dress up for dinner (or breakfast, brunch or lunch!), below I’ve listed 13 outfit ideas that feel fabulous but not too OTT for a more casual reservation. While we’re still in in need of some layers to comfortably dine outside, spring outfit inspiration is already coming in thick and fast on Instagram. Keep scrolling for some restaurant-ready outfits to try for your next meal out, whether you’re going to…

March 17, 2022 at 06:39AM While French women aren’t afraid to try new trends or challenge the clichés that are often attached to the French aesthetic, there’s no denying that they wear trend-proof pieces particularly well. Classic items that don’t date year-on-year and that come in handy when styling the more statement clothes in their wardrobe. French women have helped me better understand the need for solid basics, pieces that work hard and can be worn with a multitude of outfits. And this is undoubtedly the case when it comes to their footwear selection.Ever wondered which shoe styles French women wear during springtime? Let’s find out. As a confessed Francophile, I’m always looking for new ways to bestow my own looks with some Gallic charm. On the cusp of spring, I was particularly interested in finding out which spring shoes French girls are most likely…

March 17, 2022 at 06:30AM One of the best things about my job is, obviously, the beauty products. Yes, I sometimes get frustrated with them for a multitude of reasons but show me a loving relationships without a little up and down and I wouldn’t believe it was real! You can always rely on new beauty releases to send a buzz through the beauty industry; with constant evolution and innovation the beauty industry is an exciting place. Things like new formulations, new technologies and new ingredients all keep the beauty consumer forever on their toes. Even new packaging can be enough to warrant a fancy dinner event or celebrity promo circuit.So with the new season comes an inevitable host of new beauty releases. Not all are born equal, of course, but it is very apt timing considering I’m about to schedule my annual spring beauty bag clean out,…

March 17, 2022 at 06:30AM At this time of the year, many of us overhaul various areas of our lives. Spring cleaning now applies to everything, from our homes and wardrobes through to our emotional boundaries and social media follows, and there’s something about the warmer weather and gloriously long(er) days that brings out the urge for pro-active change. However, one thing that we often forget to check in for a well-timed review is our skincare routine. Skin is temperamental and it’s affected by so many factors, and yes, that always includes seasonal changes. Increased UV-ray exposure and the rising temperature can have an impact on your skin, and not necessarily a good one.While layering serums, oils and heavier balms served us well during the coldest moments in winter, the warmer months call for a radically different approach. This means putting in place a revised routine, and who better to help than a dermatologist? We spoke to…

March 17, 2022 at 06:30AM Congrats—we’re almost out of the thick of winter! Thick puffers and shearling coats will soon be a thing of the past, so let’s shift focus to a few spring trends to celebrate the occasion. From mega totes to Y2K shoulder bags and glossy top-handle styles, we’ve already seen this season’s handbags take shape in several diverse forms. But of course, it’s not just the silhouettes that we’re excited about—plenty of bold colours are also on the menu. While it’s expected to see loads of punchy pigments on the spring runways, we’ve noticed a few new shades frequently cropping up across a gambit of designers like Versace, Bottega Veneta, and Valentino.Marking a change from last year, soft bubblegum pink has been swapped out for bold Valentino pink, saffron and yellow shades have been amped up to fresh tangerine and when it comes to…

March 17, 2022 at 06:12AM The best leather jackets can be found in many places. They are the ultimate jacket for looking super cool when you need to take your outfit from zero to 100. Not only does such a key piece journey with you, looking good no matter what the trend climate may dictate, but the right one will also get better with age.Remember that the best leather jackets get softer—they retain their shape (although leather does stretch a little after the first few wears, so buy a snug size if you want a close fit). Naturally, finding The One is hard—it’s a commitment. We’ve edited the current collection with a ferocious, hard-to-please eye, bringing you the greatest leather jackets you can buy right now.Today's leather jackets are so much more than a line-up of black bikers (however, should a classic moto still make…

March 17, 2022 at 06:09AM As an editor, it’s my job to be impartial about the fashion I showcase to you. Not everything is necessarily something I would personally wear—I’ve been trained to look beyond that; to instead seek out impressive finds that’ll work for different people and styles. This is perhaps the biggest difference between editors and influencers—a question I’m commonly asked—in that influencers present pieces that are a true representation of themselves. In turn, this makes them so fascinating to follow. Find an influencer whose style you love and speaks to your own, and you’ve struck sartorial gold. They become something of your own personal shopper and make it incredibly easy to build upon your existing wardrobe by spotlighting options you’re probably going to like. And for that, we owe them a debt of gratitude.As such, I’m always keen to learn…

March 17, 2022 at 06:05AM The vast majority of lingerie trends come and go, but knickers are for life, which is ironic seeing as they’re the underwear style that is constantly overlooked. Bras command most of the attention, likely because they can be styled in a way that makes them integral to your outfit—think a flash of lace underneath an unbuttoned blouse or simply on its own as your ensemble’s main focal point. However, as knickers are, for the most part, going to be covered up (sheer and naked dresses aside), they’re all too often forgotten about. It’s a shame because there are so many beautiful briefs out there.Now, though, lingerie brands are putting knickers back in the spotlight, making shopping for your smalls a more stylish endeavour than ever before. But do you know your Brazilian from your bikini? Your French from your…
