5 Ways to Make Your Wardrobe More Sustainable and Ethical (but Still Fashion Forward) in 2021
We’re all familiar with New Year’s resolutions like working out more or drinking less; but in 2021, it may be time to consider a sartorial goal of shopping more ethically when it comes to fashion. In the UK, 30-percent of the clothing in our wardrobes are never worn, according to a report by Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP). In addition to that, the coronavirus pandemic hit fast fashion’s supply chain at its most vulnerable point in 2020, exposing how little garment workers are being paid, and how much they are being exploited by brands that are raking in millions. Add that to the fact that the fashion industry contributes to 10-percent of humanity’s carbon emissions and is the second biggest drain on the world’s water supply — it makes you realise ...
Area’s Couture Spring 2021 Show Gives Us the Fashion Fantasy We’ve Been Craving
Area always gets us excited for sparkling dresses that celebrate showing skin with confidence. For the New York brand’s first couture show, designers Beckett Fogg and Piotrek Panszczyk tapped trailblazer Precious Lee and catwalk favourite Yasmin Wijnaldum to model a body-positive, 14-look collection that can be described as sexy, fantasy couture. “Haute Couture originally started in Paris in 1858 but looking deeper into history and tracing back to ancient civilizations, there has always been a deep connection and appreciation for craft and beauty,” Fogg and Panszczyk said in a press statement. “It’s like Haute Couture has been ingrained into our souls culturally expressed in different ways. Whether it be for religious purposes, or simply the innate need to cre...
Jennifer Lopez Wore an Homage to Kamala Harris on Inauguration Day
Around this time last year, Jennifer Lopez was performing at the Super Bowl in Miami, shortly before COVID-19 took hold. Today, she performed in an entirely different setting: the United States Capitol for the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Wearing a white pantsuit by Chanel, Lopez sang a rendition of “America the Beautiful” and Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is My Land.” Her swingy coat and wide-leg trousers looked beautiful in suffragette white. My favorite aspect of her outfit, however, was her subtle homage to VP Harris: a pearl bracelet. As The New York Times reported, many women were planning to wear pearls today to emulate Harris, who has become known for her signature pearl necklaces and earrings. Scroll down to see w...
This Little-Known Tracksuit Brand Keeps Selling Out
Tracksuits are my kryptonite. I have been known to spend hours perusing joggers just to find the right pair. Friends turn to me to help them know which ones to buy. I’ve battled against other persistent eBay bidders to get my hands on a pair of vintage Adidas Firebird trackies. I have old pairs, and I have new pairs. I’ll wear them with my Birkenstocks around the house and have no issue with wearing them outside—I just throw on a pair of sneakers and a puffer. What I’m trying to say is that I cannot resist tracksuits, and I’m always looking to add to my collection. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

From One Cold Girl to Another, This Is the Secret to Staying Warm Right Now
Expertly cut T-shirts aside, Uniqlo’s best buy, in my humble opinion, has to be anything from its Heattech range. What is Heattech, you ask? Let me blow your mind… Heattech is Uniqlo’s collection of innovative thermals across all of its product categories. As if by magic, the Heattech-fused fabric comfortably regulates your body temperature without the discomfort of bulky clothing. How? It cleverly uses moisture released by the body to retain heat to keep you warm during the colder months. If you’re sceptical, I was right there with you until I tried it for myself. Now, I flat-out refuse to step outdoors unless I have one of Uniqlo’s Heattech vests layered underneath my midi dress or a pair of thermal leggings tucked into my knee-high boots. In fact, ...
Out of All the Knitwear Trends on Net-a-Porter, These Are the 4 I’d Recommend
If there’s one item of clothing in our wardrobes that has worked harder than any other this winter, it would have to be knitwear. Yes, our coats are invaluable for those chilly afternoon walks, but with commuting put on hold for many of us, it’s those throw-on layering pieces that have really been put to the test. Thankfully, there has been no end of options within this category, with brands offering up a plethora of knitted pieces, from dresses and trousers to classic crewnecks and cardigans.

I’d Previously Sworn Off Miniskirts, But These Styles Have Changed My Mind
Our wardrobe preferences have changed dramatically over the last year; slippers have replaced high heels and, as far as our outfits go, anything other than leggings or joggers has been rendered virtually obsolete. But now, things are changing. We might only be a few weeks into 2021, but we can already feel our sartorial appetites returning, with a real need to wear something other that makes us feel empowered, and dare we say, sexy. Cue miniskirts. Over the last few seasons, midi hemlines have been the main focus, as miniskirts waited for their time in the spotlight to return. And that time is now. People often associate miniskirts with the belly-baring, low-rise ’90s staple worn by Britney Spears types. But the divisive piece has come a long way, as was easily one of the c...
These Cult Boots Have Been Bestsellers for Over 60 Years
Having spent years training myself in the art of trend-hunting and It item–spotting, I could say confidently that I’m certain Dr. Martens boots are more popular than ever. In 2019, the heritage footwear brand reported double-digit growth (revenue stacks up now to a pretty cool £454.4 million—NBD), and that translates very visibly into just how often I spot girls wearing Docs on the pavements of my home city (London) as well as on my Instagram feed, within celebrity echelons and in street style galleries.

7 Pretty Lingerie Trends Everyone Will Wear in 2021
Last year was weird, but I have high hopes that 2021 will be at least a little better than its predecessor. I don’t know about you, but even though we have been existing in this at-home lifestyle since March, it took the end of an entire year for me to finally accept that what I’m looking at might be the new normal. As someone who reports on fashion for a living, I am no stranger to the shift in the industry as everyone has gravitated away from fancy frills and towards a more low-key (and comfortable) way of dressing. Loungewear and athleisure attire are categories that are by no means strangers to us now, but there’s something else on the docket I’d like to discuss today and that, my friends, is lingerie. You wear it every day whether it&#...
I Just Found 24 Expensive-Looking Homeware Buys at Anthropologie, H&M, and Next
Is it just us, or is everyone moving house right now? Even within the Who What Wear team, we’ve had at least five of us moving into a new place over the last 12 months, which has invariably meant that we’ve become a little obsessed with all things interiors. Our Slack channels have been abuzz with packing hacks, lesser-known brand recommendations, and tips about finding stylish lighting on a budget. (Why is it so hard?) It’s fair to say we now have a pretty encyclopedic knowledge of the current stock of most of the high street’s biggest homeware collections.

Soothing Pastels Are Making a Style Comeback That’s All About Serenity and Self-Care
It’s not our first time falling in love with pastels. The soft, comforting colour palette paints many childhood memories of sweets, clouds, and gentle dreaming. Not too long ago, fashion was fixated with Millennial Pink, and now pastel is returning in shades of lilac, baby blue, mint, and lemon to soothe restlessness at home. Pastels are becoming colours associated with self-care. Fashion embraced Pantone’s 2016 colour of the year “Rose Quartz” and renamed it “Millennial Pink” the following spring. Later that autumn, Glossier packaged baby pink as the colour of self-care, which the beauty industry steadily adopted. For winter 2020 and spring 2021, our renewed connection to pastels is a longing for wellness and comfort, in response to the tension of the p...
This Spring Item Is Already Elevating All My Outfits
If I were to describe my personal style, “maximalist” would not be one of the first words that spring to mind. However, I do seem to have a bit of a magpie eye for certain bold prints, especially when they appear on a pair of high-waisted trousers. Perhaps it’s a trend that speaks to my inner vintage nerd, but there’s something so chic about pairing brightly coloured, cropped, and flared trousers with a simple white shirt and heeled boots. Whether it’s a classic checkerboard or a cheeky leopard print, statement trousers have essentially become my go-to method for elevating spring basics—think white T-shirts, crew-neck knits, and beige trench coats.
