Nearly every fashion editor I know has a story (or several) on unearthing vintage gem. Mine is sourcing a classic Burberry trench coat for just over £100—a jacket I’m convinced managed to land me my job at Who What Wear. One colleague managed to snap up a gorgeous Valentino blouse for £30 and another found […]
Skincare enthusiasts seem to fall into two camps: the extremely knowledgeable alchemists who know their hyaluronic from their glycolic acids, and the all-natural purists, who prefer products made from untampered ingredients. I tend to fall somewhere in between. Recently, in a toss-up between new moisturisers this winter, natural product Egyptian Magic Cream, came out on […]
The message coming through loud and clear from fashion buyers for spring 2021 is that clothing is going to be joyful with a capital J. Sure, we’ve all come to rely upon comfortable, chic basics and neutral colour palettes, enjoying our dalliances with quietly luxurious loungewear and easy-peasy knitted dresses in sombre tones, but the gods of style have decided enough is enough […]
This winter might look set to be a tough one, with many travel restrictions still in place and varying levels of limitations on socialising for us all. But, that’s not to say all is lost. We’re all about making the most of what’s in front of us, which means preparing ourselves as well as we […]
It’s the fashion update that I never would’ve predicted a month ago, but according to Lyst searches for sequin pieces have risen significantly over the last two weeks, with page views currently up 165%, alongside an 88% rise in searches for glitter and crystal-embellished shoes. Apparently, despite a global pandemic, lots of the British public are still up for getting on their glad rags for […]
& Other Stories is one of my favourite high street brands at the best of times, thanks to its unwavering ability to deliver chic and expensive-looking staples season after season. Unsurprisingly I lost it a little bit when I found out that the brand was collaborating with one of the coolest up-and-coming Scandi brands around: Brøgger. Founded by Danish designer Julie Brøgger, I […]
Here at Who What Wear, we fancy ourselves as somewhat experts when it comes to spotting microtrends. The kind of looks that are distinguished by something as small as the texture of a fabric or the placement of a button. In the past, we’ve waxed lyrical on microtrends ranging from countryside prints to statement embroidered cardigans, […]
In my experience, it’s vanishingly rare to come across a truly stylish TV show. A few exceptions come to mind, such as Killing Eve, Gossip Girl and, of course Sex in the City (in its own bonkers, ’90s way), but in many of these examples the aesthetics are focused on individual characters: the Villanelles or the […]
When I turned 13 (and finally started to go through puberty), all I wanted was to start wearing a bra. By the time I was 14, all I wanted was to stop wearing a bra. I had quickly learned what most of us already know—that bras are typically uncomfortable, rigid, and cut into your under-boob […]
In times past, putting together a ‘sustainable gift guide’ was a bit of a slog. It was honestly pretty difficult to find items that were as chic as they were ethical. And don’t even try to factor in affordability in that too—anything that was worth having always meant parting with a lot of cash. Good […]
