Who What Wear

February 24, 2022 at 06:00AM Let’s face it, jeans are the most worn piece in the majority of our wardrobes. Especially at this transitional time of year when even dress people end up turning to their hero denim for a more covered up but still fresh outfit option. The best thing about them, and probably why we all rely on jeans so much, is that they’re so versatile; a classic that can be taken into each season and reinvented depending on what you wear them with. And since we’ve just hit that awkward time in the year when we’re not quite in the depths of winter anymore and definitely starting to look forward to spring, we thought it might be a good time to help jog your memory on some of the simplest, chicest ways to transform your favourite jeans from being your winter staples to your spring ones. We’ve whittled it down to 9 key items…

February 24, 2022 at 06:00AM Oh, spring. I don’t think we’ve ever been more desperate to welcome your arrival. My personal enthusiasm was evident when I spent the entirety of London Fashion Week freezing due to optimistically wearing light jackets, only to realise that February was, in fact, still very much in winter mode. But I have it under very good authority (i.e. the BBC weather app) that the new season is right around the corner, which means I can justifiably start planning my spring outfits—with a little help from NET-A-PORTER, of course.I am a firm believer in low-effort-maximum-impact outfits, and this approach was front of mind as I scrolled through NET-A-PORTER’s new-season edit. After 24 months of knitted trousers, it’s fair to say that I’m ready to embrace some personality pieces, but this needn’t be at the detriment of comfort and versatility.…

February 23, 2022 at 12:00PM Since we’d heard so many people, both in and out of the fashion industry, raving about M&S denim, I was recently set the task of trying on some of their bestselling pairs to find out what all the fuss was about. And let me tell you, I was seriously impressed with what I discovered. I’ll admit, I’d never actually tried M&S jeans on before, mostly because I didn’t think they’d fit my 5’2” frame, but also because I’m admittedly a bit of a snob when it comes to high street jeans, having had far too many bad experiences of sagging bums and worn out knees in the past.I’m sure you can imagine I was more than pleasantly surprised to come across a number of pairs that not only fit but looked so good on. As well as being an affordable…

February 23, 2022 at 08:00AM Congratulations are in order for one of the OG French influencers Camille Charrière. She just married François Larpin in Paris, and the event was as stylish as you’d expect. The bride wore a Celine couture wedding dress for the ceremony, featuring a sheer skirt and sleeves along with shiny sequin details. She finished the look with white pointy-toe pumps and delicate snowflakes pinned to her hair. How romantic is that?Charrière’s reception look, however, seemed to steal the show, as it was completely sheer and exposed her white thong underneath. The ethereal lace number featured ultra-thin straps and a mini train, contrasting her ankle-length wedding dress from earlier in the day. Scroll down to see Camille Charrière’s wedding photos. On Camille Charrière: Celine couture dress. Based on an amalgamation of two different looks from Celine’s winter 22 collection, this comprised of a blouse layered over…

February 23, 2022 at 08:00AM From bobs and lobs to braids and full fringes, there are so many amazing hairstyles out there that it can be hard to know where to start if you’re looking for a little pre-salon inspiration. So here’s my suggestion: the A-list. With access to top hairstylists and trending hair products, celebs are constantly stepping out in hairstyles that give me major strand envy. But by switching up their hair as often as we change our t-shirts, choosing a favourite style can lead to an inevitable fall down an Instagram rabbit hole.To make things easier for you, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite celebrity hairstyles ever—37 to be precise—to make your next trip to the hairdresser a little easier.Keep scrolling for the best celebrity hairstyles.Alexa's classic lob hairstyle is a trademark in its own right, and I’d hazard a guess that…

February 23, 2022 at 08:00AM You know we’re big supporters of a top-to-toe tonal look. It’s a sure fire way to look put-together, whether you’re sporting a chic co-ord or different shades of cream and white, for example. But that doesn’t mean you can’t look equally as premium in an array of colours. In fact, because it’s often more difficult to put together and pull off colour, if you get it right the results can be even more impressive. The hard part is knowing which colours work together and which ones, well, don’t. Unfortunately, the rules don’t always make sense which makes figuring out the right colour pairings even harder. Just think about that traditional adage ‘pink and green should never be seen’, and we all know that’s not true. Usually there’s just ‘something’ about it that works when you put on a winning colour…

February 23, 2022 at 08:00AM I always knew that I liked perfume, but it wasn’t until my last house move when my fragrances required an entire packing box that I realised how much I truly love it. Sure, I was able to part with a couple out-of-date bottles, but most of my stash felt too precious to cull. The thing about perfume is that it’s so personal. Scent is linked so closely to memory that even if you’ve only worn a fragrance a few times, you can evoke a past time and place with just one spritz.The problem? Perfume is expensive. Of all the products I’ve collected over the years, my fragrances are worth the most, and unfortunately, I have expensive taste in scents. Byredo, Tom Ford, Maison Margiela… Most of my favourite perfume brands will set you back around £100 for a bottle. Trust…

February 23, 2022 at 08:00AM Despite how much we admire celebrity airport style, it’s not always so easy to figure out what you should wear on a plane when push comes to shove, especially now that many of us have put our travel plans on pause for a while. Stilettos and high-waisted leather pants look great in paparazzi shots of stars strutting through airport terminals, yet in action, these statement-making ensembles can prove a bit trickier. And though we’d all love to look our best when hitting the skies, certain wardrobe pieces are best left in a checked bag or carry-on. Who better to inform us of what to never wear on a plane than someone who works at 35,000 feet? We reached out to American Airlines flight attendant Andrea Fischbach to spill her list of things you shouldn’t wear when flying for the sake…

February 23, 2022 at 08:00AM All hail M&S! I’ve been working in the fashion industry for almost a decade now, and I still don’t think there’s anywhere else on the high street as reliable for great-quality, long-lasting wardrobe staples. Everyone on the Who What Wear UK team agrees, with each of us admitting we turn to the affordable stalwart for some of our most-worn everyday pieces, from lingerie basics and coats to cashmere and denim. There’s just something about its elevated classics—nothing too trend-led or fancy but always with a polished edge—and each season guarantees a fresh wave of hero items.  It won’t come as a surprise, then, to know that we keep a constant close eye on M&S’s new-in section, mostly so we can keep you in the loop on the best things that we find but also to fuel our own personal shopping…

February 23, 2022 at 06:30AM There’s no doubt that Le Labo’s widely adored fragrance Santal 33 is one of the most defining scents of the last decade. From Alexa Chung to Justin Bieber, some of the most iconic celebrities have professed their love for the unisex scent. And in all honesty, I’d go as far as to say that it was Santal 33 that put unisex fragrances back on the map. Before it, the offering of unisex scents didn’t stretch far beyond Calvin Klein’s CK One. Nowadays, however, if a new fragrance launch doesn’t work for men just as well as it does women, we don’t want to hear about it.It’s true that more ‘traditionally’ male fragrances are having a moment (although we believe there really is no place for gender in fragrance marketing), but it was Santal 33’s unique and unrivalled freshness that made many realise that life didn’t have…
