This Basic £25 H&M Knit Makes Any Winter Outfit Look Luxe
As we settle into winter, knitwear tends to ascend the ranks of our priority list. The cosy cold-weather staple becomes a daily must-have and a key part of every outfit, regardless of the occasion. Of course, this means we’re constantly on the lookout for new styles and quality investment pieces that we know will see us through winters to come. Enter H&M. The high-street retailer has become a go-to for many stylish insiders and this year in particular their knitwear offering has been exceptionally strong. From trend-led styles, like statement collar jumpers to traditional classics, such as chunky cable knits, H&M’s knitwear selection has been championed by influencers and editors alike. Stylist Hannah Lewis has been spotted in one of the retailer’s...
I’m Too Lazy to Dress Up This Christmas, But I Just Might Wear These 6 Outfits
It’s the fashion update that I never would’ve predicted a month ago, but according to Lyst searches for sequin pieces have risen significantly over the last two weeks, with page views currently up 165%, alongside an 88% rise in searches for glitter and crystal-embellished shoes. Apparently, despite a global pandemic, lots of the British public are still up for getting on their glad rags for the festive season—even if that’s from the comfort of their sofa. In some ways, it’s not that surprising if you consider the fact that most of us have been living in loungewear for the last seven months and celebrations have been put on pause. I don’t know about you, but I’m certainly taking advantage of...
Trust Me, I’m An Editor—20 Buys That I’m Loving This December
As an editor at Who What Wear, I typically spend a lot of time looking at new-in products. So every month, I update this story with the pieces that have caught my eye or that I have saved to my wish list. For winter, more than ever, I’m leaning towards classic, quality pieces that feel really elevated and special, but that I can wear for my more low-key 2020 plans. As several warehouses and stores shuttered this year, the fashion industry faces huge challenges and strains that pose an inevitable threat to businesses. Many of us won’t be shopping in the same way this year, but even a like on Instagram or a message of support can provide a boost for these brands. I certainly don’t want anyone to feel like they have to buy more right now in a time of such hei...
This £20 Cream Is the Low-Maintenance Product I Need Right Now
Apparently, Egyptian Magic Cream is “based on a formula that was created thousands of years ago in the land of the Pharaohs.” It certainly feels classic and reminds me of the home-spun products my mum and grandparents swear by—passed-down potions made from natural ingredients which exist solely to heal and soothe. It’s made with all natural ingredients including olive oil, beeswax, bee pollen and royal jelly, and it works. My skin (normal/combination) drinks this thick balm up. After three months of using it, my skin texture is visibly smoother, brighter and makeup applies like a dream. Please be wary that this is a heavy duty cream and a little goes a hell of a long way. For this reason I use it at night as the last step in my winter skincare routine. I would be a little more tentative if...

The 2020 British Fashion Awards Names 20 People and Brands Leading Positive Change in the Industry
[embedded content] “Who is leading change in fashion?”, asked the British Fashion Council ahead of the 2020 Fashion Awards, which premiered on Thursday, 3 Dec. in a short film on the BFC’s Youtube channel — where 20 individuals and brands were recognised for leading positive change in the fashion industry during a very unpredictable year. Instead of the usual focus on best designer, the BFC started fresh with four new categories of awardees: environment, people, community, and creativity. “From those who bravely faced this challenging year with pro-active responses to the global pandemic, showed leadership and creative resilience over the past year, to the ones who stood up against prejudice within the fashion industry and fight for change”, said the BFC in a ...
3 Young Sustainable Designers Share How They Upcycle Old Trainers Into Chic Corsets
For fashion to truly be sustainable, we need a bit of a lifestyle change. Instead of replacing our once-loved pieces, let’s try shifting our mindset to upcycling clothes and accessories. It might sound difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. That’s why we spoke to three impressive young designers who are turning old trainers into chic corsets, tops, and bustiers. All Amin (Berlin, Germany), Graci Pepworth (Bristol, UK), and Cierra Boyd (Ohio, USA) might be from three different parts of the world, but they have a shared vision — living a more sustainable life through fashion and design. Each designer restores old and vintage trainers and transforms them into truly innovative designs. We asked these Gen-Z pioneers why they think that upcycling is essential to the sustainable ...
The Resale Report: A Smart Shopping Guide on Vintage Investments
To put it simply it’s all about It bags, It bags and more It bags. Plus the occasional Chanel earring thrown in for good measure. Everyone I spoke to from Lyst to sellers over at Depop told me that people were after vintage bags from the major designers. Depop seller, basementsix revealed they’d sold three vintage nova check Burberry bags in the last two weeks. But vintage nylon Prada shoulder bags were still proving popular. This was a similar theme elsewhere with Lyst also finding that searches were spiking for the classic Prada ’90s tote, as did Vestiaire Collective. Another extremely popular bag with increasing demand is Louis Vuitton’s pochette monogram bag, seeing purchases across Vestiaire Collective, Open for Vintage, and Depo...
I Just Found the Coolest Chunky Boots to Invest in This Winter
If there’s one item of clothing I wear the most during the winter months, it would have to be flat boots. Unlike my ever-growing jacket collection, I find that I tend to stick to one perfect pair, which I then go on to wear until they’re literally falling apart at the seams. Yet for some reason, up until 2020, it’s always been such a struggle to find a style which ticks all the boxes: I need them to be comfy, hard-wearing, not extortionately expensive and, of course, stylish.

“Second-Skin” Tops Are Trending, and These 20 Are the Coolest
I have yet to meet a bold and practical trend I didn’t like, and “second-skin” tops are no exception. “Second-skin” tops are essentially any top that grazes so close to your body, it might as well be a second layer of skin. While that might sound rather repulsive, the tops themselves are so stunning, you’ll forget all about the trend name. This trend has been bubbling for a while now with brands like Ganni and Marine Serre leading the pack for quite a while, but quite recently we learned the trend will be a big deal again come spring 2021 so naturally, we had to come to you and spill the tea. If you ask me, “second-skin” tops are pure magic. They are relevant across every season, are easy to wear, layer, and style, a...
Out of All the Beauty Launches in 2020, These Are the Ones I’d Repurchase
With lots of the launches originally scheduled for the first half of the year having been pushed back, it’s understandable if you felt have overwhelmed by the amount of new products dropping over the last six months. With what felt like hundreds of new launches all coming out at once, all promising to do the same thing, there’s no doubt that 2020 has been a particularly tough year to navigate the ever-confusing world of beauty. However, in a bid to cut through the noise, I have tried, tested and reviewed just about every new launch that came out this year in order to compile a list of the very best beauty products of 2020. So, whether you’re looking for the ultimate cleanser or a budget new mascara, keep scrolling for the new products that were so good, I’d buy them again. Y...
This Season’s Biggest Top Trend Comes Rosie Huntington-Whiteley–Approved
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 ...
