Who What Wear

February 28, 2022 at 06:30AM With spring on its way, there has been a noticeable shift in the types of manicures that I’ve spotted on Instagram lately. Gone are the neutral colours and basic shades that all the chicest women were stepping out in earlier this year and in their place, a riot of cute nail art and pastel hues. As someone that always has a saved folder that’s bursting with nail designs, I have to say that I’m thrilled with this shift to embrace colour and pattern for the season ahead. That being said, I’m well aware that checkerboard nails and rainbow manis aren’t for everyone, which is why I’m so excited about this emerging nail trend which I think even nail art cynics will adore: the colourful French-tip manicure.Embracing all of the fundamentals of the timeless French mani (glossy finishes, perfectly groomed nail beds and a neutral base), this modern twist sees those classic white tips given a…

February 28, 2022 at 06:30AM As a beauty editor, I deem it my job to ensure that people are spending their money on beauty wisely. That’s why, when anyone, stranger or friend, asks me for advice on a particular product, I am more than happy to oblige. The most common question I get asked is, without a doubt, “Is [insert product here] really work the money?” And more of than not, the answer to that question, is no.However, there is one product that finds itself at the centre of such questioning that will always and forever get a resounding yes from me—and that’s Tan-Luxe Super Glow Hyaluronic Self-Tan Serum.Shannon before using Tan-Luxe Super Glow Hyaluronic Self-Tan Serum. If you’re asking me, there are few beauty products that can transform your mood quite like a natural-looking, glow-boosting fake tan. The best formulas aren’t the ones that…

February 28, 2022 at 06:00AM When it comes to blow-drying my hair I am notoriously lazy. In fact, despite working as a beauty editor, I am decidedly nonchalant about all things hair—from washing it to styling it—which means that while I can whizz off a list of dry shampoo recommendations as long as my arm, new hair launches and trending hair tools are often left gathering dust at the bottom of my ‘to test’ box. So while I was well aware of the hype surrounding Color Wow’s Dream Coat Natural Spray (£26), it was another in a long line of buzzy hair products that had a home in my beauty stash, but never saw the light of day. Until this year, that is. Honestly, I don’t know what made me reach for it. Perhaps this winter’s never-ending dreary weather had me seeking out shine in alternative places? But whatever…

February 28, 2022 at 04:44AM Amidst an award show and red carpet season that has largely been postponed, canceled, or virtual, we couldn’t be more excited to get back into the *somewhat* traditional swing of things with this year’s 2022 SAG Awards. And yes, just the sheer anticipation of the forthcoming (exceptionally drool-inducing) beauty and fashion moments have us chomping at the bit. Unlike most award shows, the SAG Awards doesn’t have designated hosts (a tradition that will continue this year), but fear not, in addition to the glitz and glamour, there are definitely a few highlights and surprises in store. For instance, the show’s opening will feature “Hamilton” stars Lin-Manuel Miranda, Daveed Diggs, and Leslie Odom Jr. and five-time SAG Award winner Helen Mirren will be presented the SAG Life Achievement Award by Kate Winslet.Personally, I’ll be enjoying tonight’s show by indulging in the most…

February 27, 2022 at 06:00AM I am so excited about spring/summer 2022’s fashion trends. The overarching mood was one of real optimism, but where the previous season perhaps went into overdrive with the desire (desperation?) to get dressed up for even the most low-key of weekly grocery shops, the outlook for spring and summer is that there is a time and place to be extra fabulous but still a strong demand and a necessity for easy, simple, luxurious, gorgeous clothes and outfits you can fling on in a hurry. There are places to go, people to see and the many ensembles to suit. So while on the one hand there’s a very clear shift towards revealing, ultra-sassy, cut-to-here-and-slashed-to-there kind of dressing, there’s also a very chic, understated antithesis at play. It speaks to a modern shopper’s whims and natural inclination to change one’s mind. Some days you might channel Rosie…

February 27, 2022 at 10:57AM During the past two to three years, my hair has gone through a lot of ups and downs. In spring 2020, I was noticing it was shedding a ton, which didn’t surprise me all that much since we were at the beginning of a global pandemic. Then, after trying out new supplements, making a couple of healthier changes to my lifestyle, I noticed that my hair shedding was a lot less and I had it under control.Now though, the shedding seems to be at an all-time high and I don’t know what gives! My life doesn’t feel more stressful than normal and I’m trying to make healthier choices, but every time I take a shower I see the clumps of hair, or when I’m vacuuming around my apartment there seem to be strands everywhere. It’s concerning, for sure and I’m…

February 27, 2022 at 06:06AM There’s two thing we can be sure of for spring: 1) micro mini skirts are 100% back thanks to that Miu Miu iteration seen absolutely everywhere, and 2) French women are here to save anyone who doesn’t want to try out the trend with their spring capsule. Perfectly formed of basics that are anything but boring, we can always rely on these effortlessly cool fashion people to guide us all when it comes to items that will stand the test of time. Sure, trends are fun to try out, but there’s no harm in sticking to what you know and wearing them on repeat. We’re talking the trench coat your wardrobe shouldn’t be without, the oversized blazer (hello, The Frankie Shop), and the more recent waistcoat addition you can style a million ways. Then there’s not forgetting the Breton. This time,…

February 27, 2022 at 08:00AM “Benjamin Buttoning.” Ageing backwards. Stopping time. If there’s one effect or buzzword that elicits the same visceral reaction from beauty editors, skincare experts, and customers alike, it’s anything with the term anti-ageing in it. The truth of the matter is this: There’s no miracle cream, gel, serum or treatment that has the power to actually reverse or halt the signs of ageing on the skin. (Sorry, it just doesn’t exist.) That said, there are a small number of products that come pretty close, and we’re about to share an edit of them below.Per a roster of celebrity makeup artists—Emily Cheng, Naoko Scintu and Emma White Turle—we’re uncovering a curated selection of the best anti-ageing moisturisers. The keyword here being curated because according to them, not every cream or moisturiser on the market works the same. Luckily, they find that the below six do wield high-performing effects…

February 27, 2022 at 08:00AM As we wave goodbye to one season and welcome another, there are certain traditions that we all like to indulge in. You might be busy packing away your winter coats or mapping-out your spring capsule. Us? We’re focusing on one of our own much-loved traditions here at Who What Wear UK: our annual dress report. If you know us well, you’ll know just how much we love a dress. And really, why wouldn’t we? They always seem to swoop in to save us when we need it most—when we have nothing else to wear, when we need to look put-together in an instant, when we suddenly can’t fit into our favourite jeans or when it’s just too darn hot to wear anything else. Whether you’re a dress person or not, it’s likely you have at least a couple of hero styles…

February 27, 2022 at 08:00AM I wouldn’t say that Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez have similar personal styles. The latter’s tends to be much more bold and experimental. But here they are wearing identical outfit formulas in the same week in the same city. Who would have thought? They were both photographed in Los Angeles wearing black turtleneck sweaters, flared jeans and top-handle bags. Are you taking notes yet?Flared jeans happen to be one of my favourite denim trends right now—one that I’m willing to swap out my beloved skinny jeans for. In my opinion, they’re so much dressier than skinnies and help you look instantly polished. Scroll down to see how both well-dressed women style the same outfit combo and to shop similar pieces for yourself. On Jennifer Lopez: Hermès Birkin bagJen and Ben are still going strong. On Jennifer Aniston: Oliver Peoples Nisen Glasses (£297); Wolford turtleneck; Nili Lotan Oakland…
