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.

The Iconic High Street Dress Brand That Comes K-Mids-Approved
In the ’90s, Ghost was one of the first places you’d visit when looking for a new dress, as its silky slip dresses were the height of cool. However, the brand gradually became seen as a destination for pastel bridesmaid frocks and occasion-wear only. But Ghost has become cool again over the couple of years thanks to a reboot of its button-front tea dresses and silky midi dresses. And our team, like the many influencers we follow on Instagram, are all in agreement that this is now one of the very best places to snap up a quality, classic dress design in 2021. And it turns out Kate Middleton agrees, as the royal is often spotted out and about in the brand’s designs, such as the blue floral £90 Anouk dress she wore to stand outsid...
I Just Worked Out the Cost Per Wear of an Hermès Watch and I’m Tempted
There are few brands, if any, like Hermès. As one of the oldest fashion houses in the world, it’s built up its reputation on quality pieces that have become iconic. It doesn’t pander to seasons in quite the same way as other mega houses—hype is the last word associated with the 182-year-old label, as it focuses on its classics all year round. Sure, you could argue that the Birkin has peaks of popularity (that episode of Sex and the City; Kris Jenner’s Birkin room), but it remains the ultimate designer handbag regardless. What I’m saying is when you buy an item from Hermès, you own it for life. It’s not the kind of brand you’d want, or need, to switch out according to the seasons. Everything the brand creates is timeless. While we’ve often focused on the brand’s handb...
Sienna Miller Just Wore the Ultimate London Lockdown Outfit
Another day, another image of a celebrity in a puffer jacket outfit we want to emulate. Yesterday we spotted Katie Holmes in a very affordable Mango look, and today we’re all about Sienna Miller’s cold-weather look. While Holmes opted for a knee-grazing quilted coat, Miller is making a case for a cropped style. Seen on the streets of London walking her adorable dogs, Sienna Miller chose a brown padded jacket, vintage wash jeans and a stripe beanie hat. Of course, no Miller look would be complete without a touch of understated luxury, so the star finished her outfit with a pair of very cosy, merino wool-lined Gucci ankle boots. Our dream attire for a dog walk? You bet. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates...
If You’re a Shoe Person, Prepare to Gawp at These Cinderella Shoes
Lockdown has been hard in so many ways, but just looking at Mach & Mach’s rhinestone bow–adorned slingbacks is enough to fill us with the optimism we need to see it through and begin imagining how excellent our new shoes will look under the light of a disco ball. Dare to dream. In a slew of pretty hues, including cake frosting–inspired pink and blue, rich emerald, and dazzling pewter, their appeal is undeniable. They’re the sort of shoes we can imagine Miss Piggy cosplaying as Cinderella would wear, which, if you were in any doubt, is a good thing. They’re fabulous, sassy, bold, and playful. They’re sartorial endorphins. They’re sublime enough to make fashion editors with minimal aesthetics swoon. And they’re proving a hit, even amidst our ongoing social hiatus. You Deserve to Mak...
