Who What Wear

February 26, 2022 at 06:00AM We’ve all seen the film 27 Dresses, haven’t we? If not, you’ve probably experienced the difficult process of bridesmaid dress shopping in one way or another, whether it involved finding something that suits everyone for your own wedding or searching for one to wear for your BFF’s nuptials that wasn’t totally hideous. You might even be going through that exact scenario right now, but don’t worry— if that’s the case you’ve come to the right place to find a solution to the whole palava. Because H&M have just released a line of new bridesmaid dresses as part of their recent spring drop— and let me tell you, they’re good. Like, ‘I’m one of twelve bridesmaids for my friend’s wedding this summer and every single one of us just agreed on them’ good. Of course, it depends on the colour scheme and vibe of…

February 26, 2022 at 06:00AM You’ve probably heard us banging on about Arket’s perfect Hopsack Blazer before. That’s because every editor on the Who What Wear team is quite frankly obsessed, and we’re not afraid to shout about it. It’s not just us who have fallen for the clean lines and boxy shape of this expensive-looking jacket either— a whole host of fashionable faces have been spotted in this particular style over the last couple of years that it’s been around. That’s because, with its crisp yet oversized cut that could so easily pass for designer, it is hands down the best blazer on the high street— in fact, it’s one of the best blazers I’ve tried, full stop. And trust me, I’ve tried a lot. The blazer as a wardrobe staple has well and truly passed ‘trend’ status and become a fully fledged…

February 25, 2022 at 04:00AM The truth is, you’ll struggle to find any stylish woman who hasn’t either a) tried out a throwback trend from the ‘90s, or b) still owns a original piece from this decade (of their own or passed down). An iconic year where Kate Moss’s slip dress made its mark and Julia Roberts made a case for baggy jeans, a white T-shirt and leather blazer, there are so many trends that have made their way back into our wardrobes. And one that’s stealing the show for yet another season is the shoulder bag.Be it the new Celine Ava model Kaia Gerber has been wearing with absolutely every outfit, or the Triomphe style that’s as popular as the matching Celine logo belt everyone has been wearing. It bag labels Manu Atelier and JW Pei have also created nod to the ‘90s bags…

February 25, 2022 at 08:40AM Who doesn’t love a good royal tour? Kate Middleton travelled to Denmark solo but then joined forces with Crown Princess Mary of Denmark in Copenhagen, offering double the royal fashion. The Duchess of Cambridge attended a variety of events, including a meeting at Amalienborg Palace. However, during her visit, there were two particular looks that stood out to us. First up was the look she wore to the Copenhagen Infant Mental Health Project at the University of Copenhagen. For the outing, Middleton looked sharp in a red tweed blazer and on-trend black wide-leg trousers, whilst carrying a cute patent top-handle bag. Alarm bells began going off in our heads—had we seen this blazer before? Yes, we had! And not just on Middleton, either. The Duchess had indeed worn it for an appearance last year, but the place we recognise it from is Zara’s rails.…

February 25, 2022 at 08:00AM It’s no secret that French women possess a knack for a polished style that reads as effortless and cool. Over the years, they prove to really refine their personal senses of style with wardrobes stocked with incredible closet essentials. French women are truly in the know about which building blocks will last for years ahead, so it’s no surprise you’ll spot many of them wearing the same staples.Yep, you’ll be sure to spot elegant tweed pieces on both Carla Bruni and Isabel Marant. The same goes for ankle boots, which you’ll see Nadege du Bosterus and Juliette Binoche styling with their looks. And it doesn’t stop there. Ahead, take inspiration from stylish over-50 French women and see the six pieces you’ll spot in all of their closets. You can also shop the items for yourself to replicate their chic looks.No matter…

February 25, 2022 at 08:00AM Being experimental with your hair doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to go all-out with new hues, statement fringing or lashings of layers. Often, the simplest switches make the most impact. Right now, as our strands continue to grow without the prospect of a cut any time soon, it seems everyone is busy dreaming of and mood boarding potential styles to opt for once the salons are back up and running.And, with more time to ponder on and weigh up the pros of a dramatic change, I thought it might be worth sharing my recent experience in hope it might inspire some of you. You see, I recently chopped off my lengthy blonde hair to join the bob/long bob brigade. A few months back, after researching for a feature on blunt bob hairstyles, I convinced myself to go for the chop, which was masterfully created by…

February 25, 2022 at 08:00AM 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 and for that piece to still be in stock in selected sizes by the time we put everything together. However, in this instance, the stars have aligned—and not just metaphorically. Gigi Hadid wears a Mango coat with split-hem leggings and…

February 25, 2022 at 08:00AM I cannot tell you the last time that my hair was at the forefront of my mind. Previously, “How should I wear my hair?” was the biggest question of my beauty routine, and now I feel like it’s fallen right to the bottom of my getting-dressed list.The thing is, while I want my hair to look like I’ve invested ample time in styling it, I don’t always have the minutes to spare. But my hair says so much about my current mood and the way that I want to present myself that I don’t want my two-minute style to scream “I really don’t care about my hair"—even if I did basically show my strands no love that morning.Luckily, via my ever-patient hairdresser, I sussed out a cut that is so low-maintenance that even when the biggest effort I make is running a brush through…

February 25, 2022 at 06:36AM Ah, H&M—where to begin? Prior to working in fashion, H&M wasn’t a brand I regularly shopped. However, in the 11 years since I started analysing its wares more closely, I’ve become more and more impressed by the pieces H&M creates. Sure, sometimes it’s a little young for me—I steer clear from much of the Divided section for this exact reason—but the rest of H&M remains the affordable high-street hotspot I find some of my favourite pieces in. From premium-looking knitwear to elevated midi dresses, it’s the place I go when I need an easy fashion fix on a budget. This is why I like to particularly pay close attention to H&M when each new season rolls around. Although temperatures still may be on the chilly side, it certainly looks like spring is here. So, naturally, all I can think about is assembling…

February 25, 2022 at 06:30AM After two very trying years for the wedding industry, it looks as though (all fingers crossed) things are looking up this wedding season. In fact, our wedding schedules are looking busier than ever with invites flooding in thick and fast. You see, not only are we busy planning for the year’s normal number of weddings, but we’re also dealing with rescheduled dates from cancelled arrangements off the back of lockdowns and restrictions. And although full of love and joy, weddings can be stressful—especially when you’ve got one to attend every other weekend. To help take the stress out of at least one situation, we thought we’d help you get ahead on your beauty plans. After all, weddings are the one opportunity to look your glowiest self.However, we also appreciate that there are certain makeup “rules” to follow as a wedding guest to ensure…
