Holy Moly—Zara’s Christmas Sale Just Suddenly Started
And if you want more pointers, we have an insider who gave us some valuable tips on how to shop the Zara sale in the UK so expertly that you’ll be guaranteed to get there first (and find the pieces you’ve been eyeing up all season). Our intel is that you should go for the things that’ll be the most popular first. So opt for the higher-priced goods that will sell out quickly (e.g., cashmere, handbags, shoes and coats). “Other pieces like shirts are likely to still be around for the second markdown,” recommends our insider. Also remember to research trends before buying for the upcoming season so you can see what will last. “Customers will always ask, ‘Will you be getting more stuff like this?’ Honestly, the staff will have no i...
Is Kate Middleton Wearing Her Purple Gucci Blouse Backwards? Fans Are Convinced
Image Source: Getty / Neil Mockford Kate Middleton seems to have her own unique way of styling her purple Gucci blouse. The Duchess of Cambridge wore the pussy-bow blouse during a November Q&A for her Early Years campaign on Instagram and previously for a visit to the Henry Fawcett Children’s Centre in March 2019 — but fans and publications noticed Catherine was wearing the blouse in the reverse way that it appeared on the runway and retailer’s websites. First pointed out in March 2019 by a fan who tweeted, “It’s the end of the day and I just realized that I’m wearing my pants backwards which is very interesting because recently a Kate Middleton wore her Gucci blouse backwards. That’s right I made the same mistake as a PRINCESS,” the astute obs...
27 Blunt Bobs That Are Making Me Completely Rethink Having Long Hair
Having a hairdresser for a mum has meant that I’ve done just about everything you can think of to my hair. I’ve been platinum blonde, mahogany brown and everything in-between. I’ve framed my face with feathering and had thick fringes cut in. I’ve had hair down to my waist and chopped to my chin. It’s fair to say I was pretty earless with my tresses. That is until I got older. I don’t know why, but for some reason, I’ve defaulted to long length hair in a creamy hue with lived-in roots. Now, though, after witnessing some impressive hair transformations on Instagram of late, I’m finally going to give my ‘do a refresh. And the look I’m toying with is a blunt bob. The blunt bob has undergone a bit of a resurgence in 2019. A far cry fro...
The Coat Trends We Predict Everyone Will Be Wearing in 2021
Out of all the fashion staples in our wardrobe, the coat is probably the item that has worked the hardest this year, and something tells us the same will be said for 2021. As we enter a Christmas holiday period like no other, the humble coat will be an essential part of our style arsenal for all those socially distanced walks and outdoorsy get-togethers. Luckily, the New Year is set to usher in a host of outwear trends that combine both form and function. The elevated puffer is, of course, sticking around and is surely one of the warmest things you can throw on on a freezing January morning, but next year they’ll come in more elevated silhouettes: Think puffer-style trenches and quilted styles. There’s also plenty of fluffy fabrics (a technical term), and by...
6 Celebrities That Genuinely Made Us Shop This Year
It’s been a strange year for celebrities and fashion. Most red carpet events have been cancelled—from the Met Gala to some of the biggest awards shows, not to mention there’s been no Cannes or big weddings either. While initially we were disappointed by the lack of A-lister outfits, there are still some key people who have influenced the way we dressed this year, and dare I say even genuinely made us shop too. Thanks to Instagram, music videos, and the celebs doing normal stuff like shopping, we’ve been able to get our fix despite the lack of red carpet events. So, who makes the cut for 2020? Top of my list has to be Harry Styles whose style has not only pushed boundaries but has influenced whole Tik Tok viral trends. There’s also Katie Holmes, Tracee Ellis Ross, Ro...
I’m a Beauty Expert and These Are the 6 Beauty Lessons That 2020 Has Taught Me
But then 2020 happened. Much like everything else in life, the events of the past year or so really have messed with my beauty routine. Spending more time at home, rethinking my product budgets and a big shift in general priorities have meant that I’ve been forced into doing things a little differently. For example, whereas once upon I time I may have spent an hour applying my makeup before dinner, this year, my makeup drawer has gone largely untouched. Similarly, while monthly facials were once a set fixture in my diary, the past few months have seen me adding various new skincare products into my line up in a bid to get my glow back. And it is as a result of this shift in priorities that made me realise that I still have many beauty lessons to learn. Much like everyone else I k...
Short Curly Hairstyles That Will Make You Rethink Your Long Hair
It doesn’t matter your curl pattern, density or face shape, whether loose waves or tight coils, short curly hair can work on everyone — but with a little effort. “A style that is short and curly is easy to style and manage, but it is one that requires maintenance,” says Daniele de Angelis, International Artistic Director of Toni Guy. The London Hairdresser of the Year 2020 explains how the short, curly cut can be achieved. “You should be sure to make regular visits to your hairdresser, especially if the length is above jaw level in order to keep its shape,” she explained to WhoWhatWear. “A short hairstyle can absolutely suit multiple curl textures,” she adds, “but your stylist must adopt the correct cutting technique for the required tex...
The Secret to Glowing Skin Might Just Be the Cold
I can’t stand being hot and let’s not even talk about sweating. So unimpressed. With that said, it’ll come as no surprise that I’m not afraid of the cold, in fact I welcome it. Recently, I started the Wim Hof Method, not in an attempt to be labelled as the ‘Icewoman’ but I was intrigued by the health benefits. The method includes breathwork and the signature cold showers. Honestly, its been a game-changer for me. The breathwork has helped me to connect to my body better and given me more energy and focus. I may not like being hot, but I love hot showers. The method involves having your usual temperature shower followed by a cold shower, starting at 15 seconds and going up to 2 minutes over time. The first week was brutal, but after that...
I’ve Fallen In Love With These Classic Winter Pieces and I Think You Will Too
As a fashion editor, I have spent a lot of my career reporting on new trends, new labels and new ways to wear things. However, in an effort to slow down the trend cycle and buy items with longevity in mind, we are also conscious here at Who What Wear to dedicate as many stories to repeated outfit ideas, classic items and secondhand items. Personally, I always gravitate to simple pieces that have a timeless appeal. Below I’ve put together an edit of classic winter pieces that I really love, including fine knitwear to wear in place of a T-shirt, beautiful leather handbags, blazers in neutral shades and chunky ankle boots. In terms of brands, there of a number of labels I always turn to for a timeless aesthetic. At a higher price point, Nanushka and Totême are two brands leading th...
Like It or Not, Clogs Are Back, and They’re Coming to Get You
Among the Who What Wear team, I’m known for loving an “ugly” shoe. Case in point: my thoughts on how Crocs are going to be big in 2021. While that might be an “ugly” shoe too far for some, style-adjacent to the Crocs is the clog, which is also coming back for 2021. It might seem like the same shoe but is actually a little different, and (sorry Crocs), much cooler. Last summer, I was drawn to clogs when I spotted Fabrizio Viti‘s daisy versions. I own a pair of the denim ones and while I didn’t have anywhere to wear them last summer, I can’t wait to style them à la Lucy Williams and pair with socks. As for the rest of fashion, I can really pinpoint the moment we turned towards loving clogs and that was when Hermès debuted th...

These 6 Winter Accessory Trends Are Thriving Right Now
When you’re bundled up in a zillion layers in the winter, all the pressure is put on your accessories to make your outfit really shine. They bring out the “extra” side in everyone—after all, what’s the best way to jazz up an outfit than with some fun accoutrements? And this season especially, the hats, jewellery, and bags on offer are about as extra as they come. Throw on a fuzzy bucket hat for your daily social-distancing walk or some pretty pearl earrings to your simplest sweater-and-jeans look.

Whatever vibe you’re on these days, add in one (or multiple) of the below hats, bags, earrings,...
