Who What Wear

February 20, 2022 at 08:00AM The saying “you get what you pay for” applies to so many things in fashion, but one thing we struggle to justify it for is lingerie. Never has so little fabric amounted to so many pound signs as it does when you peruse luxury lingerie. And seeing as it’s something we wear, quite literally, every single day, it’s not something we’re prepared to spend our entire salary on, which is why we’ve scoured the digital shopping sphere to bring you the best affordable lingerie brands we can find.Emmanuelle Koffi wears a white lace lingerie set from Gooseberry Intimates. While they’ll save you some pennies in the process, if there’s one thing these affordable lingerie brands don’t skimp on, it’s style. From comfortable jersey triangle bralettes and big briefs to lace-trimmed teddies and even sultry see-through shorts, from an array…

February 20, 2022 at 08:00AM Although Jennifer Lopez is often dressed to the nines (she does have plenty of occasions to dress up for, after all), she’s also no stranger to a good loungewear look. Whether she opts for leggings, track pants, a matching set or sweatpants, Lopez always looks completely put-together and stylish. This time, it was a jogger look that she mastered.There’s nothing new about people wearing sweatpants outside the house, especially over the past couple of years. We thought we’d covered every possible jogger outfit trend imaginable, but J.Lo just found another one, and it’s particularly fresh for 2022. The reason? She paired an oversize bomber jacket—from & Other Stories, no less—with her grey baggy sweats and Nike Air Jordans. You probably remember that bomber jackets were absolutely everywhere at one time, but did you know they’re a thing again? Only this time around, it’s…

February 20, 2022 at 08:00AM Leggings are a wardrobe staple we’re not sure we could ever live without. When you’re lounging or heading to a workout class, there’s really nothing else that comes close to them in terms of comfort and versatility—until now. It’s not that leggings are going anywhere, but there's a new athleisure trend emerging that may jeopardize their long-standing reign: activewear bodysuits.If the thought of wearing a bodysuit (and nothing layered over it) scares you, you’re not alone. It's a rather divisive trend, to say the least. But sure enough, the celebrity crowd has already taken to wearing bodysuits in place of their leggings. We recently spotted Jennifer Lopez and Alessandra Ambrosio—two celebs who are seemingly always en route to the gym and clad in leggings—testing out the trend. They both opted for the same bodysuit from Beyond Yoga, a black capri-length one-piece with a halter tank–style top.We’re well aware that…

February 20, 2022 at 07:23AM There are certain shopping categories that sky-rocketed during lockdown and one of these was, unsurprisingly, homeware, due to many of us spending more time at home and making either small upgrades or bigger transformations to our spaces. Well, we might be out of lockdown now, but our love for all things interiors shows no sign of wavering. When it comes to linens, soft furnishings and crockery, there are three brands in particular that have an amazing selection of where-did-you-get-that items right now. Soho Houses all have beautiful but relaxed interiors, and Soho Home enables you to re-create that aesthetic in your own home. The latest spring collection includes beautiful velvet accent chairs, ribbed glassware and statement rugs that all have a vintage feel. On the more affordable end, Arket and H&M Home are two of our favourite high-street brands for homeware that doesn’t cost the earth.…

February 20, 2022 at 06:30AM When it comes to the hierarchy of powerhouse skincare ingredients, retinol reigns supreme. Everyone from beauty editors to dermatologists swears by its transformational results. You see, unlike so many other buzzy ingredients that aim to reduce the signs of skin ageing, retinol is one of the few that is actually proven to work in scientific studies. Working to increase cell turnover and promote collagen and elastin production, retinol does everything from smoothing fine lines and texture to reducing the appearance of blemishes and pigmentation. But the truth is that retinol isn’t an ingredient for the faint-hearted. Any ingredient that works to increase cell turnover in the way that retinol does is sure to come with some caveats.In short, retinol can prove irritating and isn’t a feasible option for many. “Traditional retinol can potentially cause irritation in the form of dryness, redness and flaking,…

February 20, 2022 at 06:30AM If you’ve ever followed a YouTube makeup tutorial to a T only to look in the mirror and realise it’s a straight-up no-go on you, your eye shape might have had something to do with it. Sure, the individuality of every human’s face is part of what makes each of us so supremely beautiful in our own ways, but those differences sure do make it more difficult to identify the best makeup for any given person.Identifying your eye shape and employing makeup techniques that complement it might be the only thing standing between you and A+ makeup application. In truth, makeup artists agree that subpar eye makeup that doesn’t take into account the nuances of your eye shape could actually be weighing down your eyes and prematurely ageing you. In the same way that face shape comes into play when trying to figure out everything from…

February 20, 2022 at 06:07AM Looking at celebrities basking in the sunshine on their recent slew of exotic holidays has reminded me of a couple of things. 1) That I need to replenish my supply of dental floss when I’m next at Tesco, and 2) that it’s good to get out of your leggings and knitwear once in a while and embrace something… skimpy. And what could be skimpier than a barely-there, string bikini?That’s right; stylish stars have been casting aside their Baywatch-esque high-leg cossies in favour of teeny triangle bikinis—the sort that dominated every beach, poolside, and popular music video in the ‘90s. And you know what? I might join them.A few years ago, I found my swimwear comfort zone in the retro, high-waist bikinis—the sort that covers my belly button and provides me with the added support across my hips that I…

February 20, 2022 at 06:05AM 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…
