Who What Wear

February 27, 2022 at 06:00AM Good high street jeans are hard to find. Trust me, I’ve tried a lot of them. I’m what you would call a jeans person, and I daren’t even admit to you how many pairs I’ve accumulated over the years in my search for the *perfect* pair. In my opinion, you just can’t beat an outfit that consists of a crisp white shirt or T-shirt and a pair of classic jeans. It’s a timeless, versatile combination that, if you get just right, you can build upon over the years with other items from your closet, depending on the look you want to achieve.My collection does include some investment designer styles that I swear by, Re/Done’s stove pipe and AGOLDE’s popular pinch waist, for example. But I take particular pleasure in the challenge of finding really good jeans on the high street.…

February 27, 2022 at 06:00AM Since it first launched in the UK in 2017, Arket has become our go-to for classic, expensive-looking wardrobe staples. So much so, that we’re not sure where we shopped for our elevated basics before it reached our shores. From their cult puffer coat and sellout striped jumper to the ultimate blazer and perfect white T-shirt— we’re consistently impressed by their level of quality and design, as well as their commitments to sustainability (a lot of their pieces are now made using recycled or responsibly sourced materials). It should come as no surprise then, when we tell you that their denim offering is, in our opinion, some of the best on the high street as well.In particular there’s one style I’ve tried recently that I love so much and have been wearing on repeat. It’s the Regular Cropped Stretch Jean, and they’re such a…

February 27, 2022 at 06:05AM It’s safe to say that I’m a bit of a collector when it comes to fashion. Although the idea of a perfect capsule wardrobe is what I long for, in reality, I’ll probably always own multiple shoes in the same style and too many pairs of jeans. Then, there are coats. Shopping for a new style is something I look forward to each year, and now I have quite the collection I can pick and choose from.With springtime not just on the horizon, but, some days, well and truly here, I’m also thinking about raffia accessories and linen dresses. However, considering I live in the UK, it’s always about layering. I’ll forever pack an umbrella, sunglasses and a light jacket into the same tote bag (who knows what else is in the depths of said bag)—no matter the season.It’s…

February 27, 2022 at 06:00AM 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 starting IRL meetings again, and so am currently looking for more spring staples to add to my wardrobe. This week I’ve selected a beautiful Toteme cream jacket, pink platforms from Russell and Bromley and the most amazing tailored trousers from COS. 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.This coat is one of the most sought after jackets of 2022. The most dreamy colour. A Spring staple. Such a fabulous colour. This…

February 26, 2022 at 01:05PM 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 re-opened 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…

February 26, 2022 at 08:00AM While we pride ourselves on being ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest trends, there’s something to be said for forgetting about what’s cool and embracing the classics. Especially when it comes to hair, the mix of trending haircuts and celebs undergoing colour transformations can make visiting the hair salon feel like you’re about to sit an exam. After all, what if you go for a daring new chop only to regret it a couple of weeks later? To help, I’ve done a little research into the hairstyles that have stood the test of time, and I’ve come up with an edit of five that always look timeless. From Alexa Chung’s bob to Jennifer Aniston’s long, layered locks, some tried and tested formulas never seem to go out of style.Keep scrolling to learn about the five styles and for plenty…

February 26, 2022 at 08:00AM I don’t want to get ahead of myself—I know there’s still lots of mileage in winter yet—but try as I may, I can’t help but let my sartorial attention shift towards the new season and, dare I say, spring. Putting the “s” word to one side for a second, I do believe it’s important to keep your feet firmly planted in the present, but it does also pay to cast an eye on the future. Sometimes, seasons can change like the flick of a switch, and the last thing you’ll want is to feel caught out where your outfits are concerned. This is where colour plays an integral role.Nothing has the power to change the tone of your look quite like the colours you choose, and I feel like, as new-in sections start to blend between winter and spring,…
