The Best Fringes for Every Face Shape, According to a Celebrity Hairstylist
Getting a fringe cut in is a rite of passage in so many people’s lives, whether it’s done on a whim or after months of decision-making. Choosing your style is a big part of that journey, so a little bit of research never hurts. One of the benefits of fringes is how beautifully they frame your face, so it’s especially helpful to know what shape your face is. So, first things first: Identify your face shape (it’s easier than it sounds, promise). Now you’re ready for step two: choosing your look. We turned to Moroccanoil Celebrity Hairstylist Bryce Scarlett—a.k.a. the man Gigi Hadid, Margot Robbie, Brie Larson and pretty much every other A-lister trusts with their gorgeous hair—to help break down which fringe is best for each shape. Ahead, find your next hairstyle, along ...
6 Jumper-Dress–and-Boots Combinations That Look Better Than the Rest
We might not have spent much time commuting or going out or spending time with friends this year, but the one thing I think we can all say we’ve done a lot of is walking—walking in the park, walking to your favourite coffee shop to get a takeaway, walking anywhere to get out of your house. While there hasn’t been much call for wearing fancy outfits in 2020, there’s one look that is ripe for wearing this winter that’s as chic as it is warm: jumper dresses and boots. It might sound like a super-simple outfit suggestion, and on the face of it, it is. But there are so many options out there that it’s far from boring. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been saving my favourite jumper-dress–and-boots outfits on Instagram to bring you a selection of differ...
The Boot Trends That Are Going to Be Big in 2021 According to Zara
From royals to celebrities, influencers to editors, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone (fashion-fanatic or otherwise) who doesn’t have an item of clothing from Zara in their wardrobe. The Spanish retailer has developed a reputation for itself over the years for creating affordable trend-led pieces, as well as contemporary basics which can act as the cornerstone of any closet. Though, Zara’s mass-market appeal doesn’t just end at clothing. No, the brand’s footwear is equally as coveted and this winter, in particular, we’ve spotted quite a number of expensive-looking boots among their collection. (Many of which we predict will sell out in no time. Sadly, these styles don’t often hang around for long.) You Deserve to Mak...
I’ll Be Kicking Off 2021 With These 5 Anti-Trends
You can take your built-in G-strings (yes, that’s an unfortunate thing happening out in fashionland), glitzy Crocs and arm warmers—I’m just not interested. When it comes to trends, I love hunting them down, I love reporting on them and I love seeing them out in the wild, but introducing them to my own wardrobe? I’ve got a metaphorical Phil and Grant Mitchell standing on the door blocking everyone and everything. If your name’s not down, love, you’re not comin’ in. I’m not dead inside: Some new looks and key piece do get a chance. Right now, for example, I feel quite partial to a pair of feather-trimmed pajamas for all the parties we’re not allowed to go to… However, in general, I’ve come to learn over ...
MOBO Awards 2020: The Sexiest Looks Straight From the Red Carpet
The MOBO Awards returned to celebrate music of Black origin on Wednesday, 9 Dec. at Exhibition London after a long three-year hiatus. Hosted by Maya Jama and Chunkz, Love and Compromise singer Mahalia took home most of the awards of the night, including Best Female Act and Best R&B/Soul Act — but it was the sexy outfits on the red carpet that we can’t stop thinking about. First things first — Leomie Anderson. The model graced the red carpet in a very revealing Jean Paul Gaultier sheer jumpsuit with autumnal leaves embroidered over Anderson’s intimate areas. Jourdan Dunn also brought the fire with a leopard-print, halter-neck, ’50s-inspired pin-up dress by Alaïa — so chic! Maya Jama went for a black leotard and chain-mail skirt by David Koma. Our favourite look of the ...
Hairstylists Predicted These Would Be the 10 Biggest Hair Trends of 2020
Last year’s top trending hairstyles were as functional as they were chic. From low ponytails to centre partings and Carrie Bradshaw hair, last year was all about understated styles with an emphasis on natural texture and hair health (which we love). As for hair colour, we saw a juxtaposition of warm and cool-toned shades. Golden honey shades were trending, as were icy platinum variations. Fiery red was seen alongside cool ash blonde. It was a year of hair colour contradiction. So, when 2020 rolled around, we couldn’t help but ask where that left us for the rest of the year? We decided to go right to the source to find out, asking top celebrity hairstylists, and we must say, we were surprised by their answers. We’re guessing you will be, too. ...

4 Classic Winter Trends French Women Are Wearing Right Now
There are few cities in the world that are as renowned for their fashionable inhabitants quite like Paris. The French capital is viewed as a place where trends emerge and are then emulated the world over thanks to stylish residents with a penchant for effortless ensembles. Here at Who What Wear UK, we often look to our neighbours over the Channel in order to see what is resonating with the fashion-conscious women in France, and this winter, our process is no different. In years passed, a weekend trip to Paris to tourist around, trend spot, and indulge in far too many croissants may have been on this agenda, but this year, however, I’m relying on Instagram for my supply of French fashion. Thanks to an abundance of incredibly cool influencers, it’s easy...
These Top-and-Jeans Outfits Are the Lazy Way To Do Party Dressing This Christmas
Ah, jeans and a nice top. Where would we be without this classic fashion combination? Usually our go-to for festive drinks and easy ‘out-out’ ensembles, it’s certainly served us well over the years, but this year it has taken on an even greater significance as we find ourselves on the lookout for low-effort, sofa-appropriate (and dare I say Zoom-ready) party looks. When heels and form-fitting frocks are the last thing we want to be wearing after months of comfy loungewear, a nice-top-and-jeans is the perfect way to dress up with minimal effort and maximum impact. Luckily, our favourite influencers have provided us with more than enough inspiration in this department, with a plethora of top options—from sequins to sheer organza—crop...
15 Lesser-Known Princess Diana Outfits I Never Cared About Till Now
Some people are absolutely obsessed with the royals, including everything they wear, where they are going, who they are dating, and so on and so forth. I, on the other hand, am not. I mean I get it, trust me. The fact that anyone who is a royal is essentially untouchable stirs up weird feelings of obsession and wonderment as we all desperately try to get an inside look at the lives of the princesses, queens, duchesses, and more. I will admit that a lot of royals do dress well, especially Princess Diana. While that certainly is not news, after searching through archive images of the People’s Princess, I found 15 outfits I personally had never seen before that really struck a chord. The looks you’re about to see here are each the perfect combination of classic and trendy. Each an...

The High Street Puffer Coats That Will Get You Through the Cold Snap
Puffer coats have long been considered practical, but stylish? Thanks to a host of designer interpretations of the cosy, borderline-ugly outerwear, they’ve become something of a fashion girl must-have. Arguably it was last year when the puffer coat’s sartorial status really reached its peak, with the likes of Bottega Veneta creating a very special leather puffer coat, which swiftly made its way to the top of many an editor and influencer’s wish list. But then in 2020, as we’re all spending a lot more time outside, the duvet coat has become a must-have for everyone, and not just those with budgets for the designer versions. It’s not surprising then that according to global fashion search platform Lyst, that searches for “duvet coat” are &...
