Fashion Girls Keep Wearing This Super-’90s Hair Accessory, and I Have Questions
When it comes to ’90s style, there are a few quintessential pieces like tube tops, teeny handbags and flatform footwear that make it so easy to identify a look from the era. And, not surprisingly, the same is true on the beauty front. Considering it was a time when razor-thin eyebrows, frosty eye shadow and tinsel hair extensions reigned supreme, it’s hard to believe that any of the beauty markers from the ’90s have managed to re-emerge in the modern zeitgeist. But, surprise, claw hair clips have done just that, and I need answers as to why. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

6 Simple Morning Rituals That Can Make You Feel More Productive
If, like me, you consider yourself to be a night owl, you’ll understand the perils of early mornings all too well. When you wake up in the morning and pick up your phone to scroll through Instagram only to see how all of the morning people out there have already done a full workout, made fancy porridge, curled their hair and applied their makeup, the pang of guilt can make for quite a negative start to the day. However, after years and years of pushing my snooze button to the limit and giving myself the 34 minutes of getting-ready time that I know I need, I’m frankly fed up of starting my day off in a flap. Consultant psychologist and co-founder of The Chelsea Psychology Clinic Elena Touroni explains, “If you have a rushed morning, your stress levels are likely to be heightened b...
These Cheap Eye Creams Are Just as Good as Their Expensive Counterparts
It’s fair to say that I have made no secret of my scepticism about eye cream. They are usually eye-wateringly expensive when you look at the cost per millitre and come with a whole host of unwarranted promises about their ability to reverse wrinkles and eradicate eye bags. In fact, until I discovered The Ordinary’s Caffeine Solution back at the start of 2019 I basically didn’t use eye cream at all—and this one really only changed my mind because it’s pleasingly affordable at just £6 and didn’t make any ludicrous claims that it then failed to deliver on. Fast-forward two years, however, and oh how times have changed. I am now in my early 30s with a one-year-old baby and contending with dark circles and under-eye puffiness has become a daily challenge. If an eye cream lands on my desk these ...

These Will Be the 10 Biggest Skincare Trends of 2021
Ask anyone what type of skin they have and most of us will reply with sensitive, oily, normal, or dry. And traditionally, that’s the way that many of us still shop for our skincare products. However, consumers are becoming increasingly aware that this general approach to skincare just isn’t delivering when it comes to results. After all, our complexions are, well, complex. “We are all different and so is our skin… One size does not fit all,” says Ben Esdaile, MD, consultant dermatologist at Skin + Me. Esdaile believes that 2021 will be all about “tailor-made and custom-blended skincare prescribed for the individual based on their skin type, life stage, skin concern, and lifestyle.” That way, consumers will truly get the results they are looking for. For this to work, skincare needs t...
Is Recycled Polyester Better For the Planet? We Consulted the Experts
Ever since starting my sustainable fashion journey, I have been investigating the clothing on my wish list with an eagle eye. The second thing I look at when buying new clothes — after the price, of course — is the fabric a garment is made from. And if the composition says “polyester,” my bank card says “absolutely not.” Polyester is essentially plastic, but is recycled polyester — a popular material used in activewear, loungewear, and puffer jackets — a better alternative? We checked in with sustainability consultancy Eco-Age to get you informed before your next purchase. Virgin polyester is one of the most widely used fabrics in the world because it’s easy to clean, quick to dry, and doesn’t need any land space to be cultivated. However, it’s mad...
25 Looks That Might Tempt You Into Having a Pixie Cut
If long hair has been your thing for as long as you can remember, 2021 just might be the year you make a change. Take me, for example. I’ve had long hair my whole life (with the exception of one not-so-chic VB-inspired bob), but something about how wonderfully undone and effortlessly stylish short hair can be means the idea of chopping it all off is really starting to appeal to me. It might have something to do with the blunt bobs I’ve been seeing around, but I’ve never been more inspired to chop all of my hair off and go for a shorter style. And while a bob might seem like the obvious choice right now, going even shorter is equally as chic—and it seems I’m not alone in thinking so. Yes, that’s right. I’m talking short, short. Pi...
If We Had to Shop for All Our Outfits in One Place, It Would Be Here
Although we may not be heading out to buzzy restaurants or able to showcase our most recent buys in the office these days, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any excuses for a great outfit moment. It could simply be layering up for your daily walks, or even just popping on a fresh leggings and sports bra set for yoga, but there’s something undeniably mood-lifting about getting dressed that feels important to hold onto these days. We get it, it’s not always easy putting effort into a look no one’s going to see, but the one brand helping us stay excited about our wardrobes at the moment is Free People. Somehow they’ve managed to nail exactly what we want our closets to look like right now: full of chic but comfy park-ready layers, dreamy loungewear and motivation-enhancing activ...
These Tops Keep Selling Out—but I’ve Just Found the Perfect One for £28
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 poetic on microtrends ranging from countryside prints to statement embroidered cardigans, though this winter there seems to be a new, subtler trend on the block. From designer to high-street, sweetheart neckline knits are gaining quite the fashionable fanbase right now with influencers across the globe embracing the flattering silhouette. It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind of detail but manages to instantly elevate a winter knit, bringing a modern, contemporary element to the item. You Deserve to Make Money ...
Holly Willoughby Just Wore An M&S Outfit In Our Favourite Spring Colour
Given the rainy weather we experienced over the weekend, it can be easy to feel like we are very much still in the depths of winter. Though as we enter the first day of February, I’m choosing to take the optimistic approach and celebrate the fact that we are one (albeit small) step closer to spring. Holly Willoughby seems to have to similar mindset, as the television personality is already updating her wardrobe to include some spring shades. Over the weekend Willoughby posted an image of herself wearing a full look by Marks & Spencer which included a pastel green coat, alongside a merino-wool knit in a similar shade. Holly then finished the outfit with white jeans and lace-up sneakers. Ever the ray of positivity, Willoughby accompanied the image with the capt...
72 Nail-Art Pictures We’ve Saved for When Salons Re-Open
From the often velvet-covered chairs to the glass bottles of beautiful colour lined neatly on marble-effect shelves, there’s many things that make a visit to the salon a magical experience—and one we’ve sorely missed. However, once salons are allowed to open their doors once again, we intend on taking full advantage of our appointment with our nail technicians. How, you ask? By opting for some stunning nail art that we could never create ourselves at home. Remember when nail art consisted of water-painted flowers and glittery dragons? Those were the days. However, after its short-lived moment in the early noughties, nail art really dropped off the grid for a little while. In stark contrast to the grandeur and excess of embellished talons and intricate patterns, for t...
Bigger Isn’t Always Better But With This Trend It’s Absolutely the Case
Most trends start life as just that—trends. By definition, a trend is a development or change, and as such, we expect trends to do the same; evolve into something else or, in some instances, veer off entirely. However, some trends prove themselves to be more than fleeting; some have staying power. And the puff sleeve trend is one such example of a look that’s had a longer shelf-life than many of us expected it to. The puff sleeve trend first cracked the fashion veneer in 2018, when ’80s references raved the runway. We gladly bought into it, fully aware that it would likely be replaced by another detail of note the following year, no matter how pretty it is. Fast-forward to 2021, however, and the supersize sleeve is still just as popular as ever. You Deserve to Make Money E...
