Who What Wear

March 17, 2022 at 06:00AM Emma wears a Rixo dress and Hayley Menzies cardigan.As an editor at Who What Wear, I typically spend a lot of time looking at new-in products, so every week, I update this story with the pieces that have caught my eye and that really stand out.I have only just started going back into an office and attending IRL meetings again and so am currently looking for more spring staples to add to my wardrobe, along with wedding guest outfits. This week, I’ve selected a beautiful spring dress from Whistles, a dreamy Loewe bag and a gorgeous blazer from Jacquemus.So whether you’re looking to buy, browse or discover something new, keep scrolling for pieces from the high street and designer labels that I love and think are worth investing in.The perfect feel-good cardi to wear with jeans this spring. Such a chic shade of…

March 17, 2022 at 06:00AM There’s a lot of good things about spring. Admiring the daffodils on a lunchtime walk; longer, lighter evenings; sitting in a pub garden with friends without freezing to death… I could go on. But one of my favourite things about this season (spoken like a true fashion person), is trench coats. For me, being able to just throw a trench over a T-shirt and jeans is the ultimate sign spring has arrived, and this week was the first time I’ve done that this year. Which means it’s finally here (well, technically the first day of spring is on Sunday but according to the weather report mother nature was just as impatient as us). As someone who lives in London and has classic wardrobe taste, I lean on my trench coat from the first sign of spring to the last days of summer—…

March 17, 2022 at 06:00AM Confession: At Who What Wear, we often use NET-A-PORTER as a bit of a ready-made shopping edit for the new season. Without fail, it highlights those brands you need to take note of—like Christopher John Rodgers, Rave Review and Petar Petrov—alongside the silhouettes and styles that are destined to hit big over the coming months. Of course, it’s our job to narrow down this selection even further, editing and curating until we have an easily digestible selection of items that we’re sure you’re going to love.We will always pick items that feel right for our reader, but NET-A-PORTER really has a knack for spotting the key themes that run through the fashion-week runways. (Kudos to the fashion buyers.) Well, you’ll be happy to know that the platform’s new-season shop has finally landed, and as always, it’s full of…

March 16, 2022 at 06:05AM Is it just us, or is it easy to lose count of the number of designer-shoe unboxing reels on Instagram lately? If it isn’t those Prada chunky loafers, it’s Celine sandals or the Saint Laurent slingbacks we told you a few months back would be key for 2022. And on the subject of Saint Laurent, you’ve most probably spotted the fashion house’s penny loafers without even realising. The classic flats have been given an understated twist with the YSL monogram adorned subtly on the side of each pair. In addition to our wish list of spring basics that are set to become staples this year, we’re predicting these are going to be huge for spring and beyond.Bridging the gap between scruffy winter boots and toe-baring summer sandals, the loafer is the sleek way to slip into spring. And…

March 16, 2022 at 08:00AM After nearly a year of social distancing that’s lead to some unexpectedly long and scraggly lengths, the urge to chop all your hair off might be stronger than ever. While this sentiment might normally be met with blank stares and reminders to exercise caution, it just so happens that short hair is majorly trending right now. And not just the ever-popular bob haircut either. Celebrities, fashion girls, and hairstylists agree that all varieties of short hair are in. Rejoice!So what does that mean for your short-hair aspirations in 2021? Good things, we think! From cuts to colours and all sorts of styles, all things short hair are gaining some well-deserved renewed interest. Ahead, check out the short-hair trends set to dominate this year. And be sure you scroll to the end to see the trendiest and most controversial look we can’t believe is still…

March 16, 2022 at 08:00AM When it comes to this time of the year, it’s totally normal for skin to seem seriously dull. In fact, beyond looking a little lacklustre, it could possibly be feeling tight, dry and sore. If there’s one thing that the beauty world is certain of, it’s that cold weather is rarely good news for your complexion. And don’t I know it. Despite the fact the summer months had my skin radiating an out-of-this-world glow, the start of winter had me sporting a drab, lacklustre and seriously distressed face.At the start of the season, as I emptied out the contents of my makeup bag in the search for any kind of illuminating product to pour over my face/bathe in, I couldn’t help but wonder if my skin would ever get its glow back. Sure, I could slather my cheekbones…

March 16, 2022 at 08:00AM Generally, I don’t subscribe to fashion “rules”—I’m more of a “if you like it, then wear it” sort of fashion editor—but there is one I stand by: Never wear white to a wedding. I’ve been to so many weddings in my time that being a wedding guest could pass for my side hustle. And you’d be surprised at how many people commit this faux pas. Sure, you can always clear it with the bride first—I know from firsthand experience that some aren’t phased with guests wearing white—but that doesn’t mean everyone else in attendance knows you’ve been granted permission. With the inevitable side-eye you can receive from less-liberal guests, wearing white to a wedding is something I suggest you avoid. Victoria Beckham stands for a photograph with Anders Christian Madsen and Christine Centenera before setting off for the wedding of Edward Enninful…

March 16, 2022 at 08:00AM Silky, stretchy, clingy and oh so chic—there’s a new breed of dress that is taking over this spring, and one that we predict will be everywhere in three months’ time. Acting as a counterpoint to the roomy throw-on frocks that have proliferated over the last few years, the second-skin dress was spotted in a variety of guises at the likes of Rejina Pyo, Jil Sander, Victoria Beckham and Loewe. Some manifested in dramatic, flowing jersey, while others opted for sultrier cut-out details, but every single one could not feel further from the tent dresses that carried us through the lockdown. This is, perhaps, no coincidence.This won’t be a trend that necessarily appeals to everyone. However, you might be surprised to see how eclectic the silhouettes on offer are. Of course, you have the classic form-fitting midis in shades of black…

March 16, 2022 at 06:33AM Don’t get me wrong. I love a heady, strong perfume more than anyone. Perfume is the perfect way to make a lasting impression. But here’s a totally counterintuitive notion: Subtle perfumes make the biggest impressions. I rotate perfumes pretty much every day, and I’ve found that when I wear a subtle, inconspicuous scent, people are always the most intrigued. I think it’s because subtle scents inherently have a bit more mystery to them. They’re not in your face, but they definitely still make a quiet statement. That’s what makes them so appealing. A subtle scent will leave someone thinking about how good you smell, and it won’t seem like you tried too hard to smell good. Below, I’ve rounded up my favourite subtle scents, which are guaranteed to get you at least one “you smell so good” comment…
