One of Our All-Time Favourite Beauty Brands Just Announced an Unreal Sale
If we’re being honest, with there being so much choice these days, there aren’t many beauty brands we go back to time and time again. Elemis, however, is one of them. Most of the Who What Wear team, whether beauty obsessed or not, had a favourite hero product from 30 year old brand when posed the question on our slack channels. Whether it’s the Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm, or award-winning Marine Cream, divinely smelling Frangipani Body Oil or, well, the whole Superfood range, Elemis products have a widespread cult following like no other. Why, you ask? We’re going to hedge our bets and say it’s because they actually work. Effective and luxurious, every bathroom cabinet of lotions and potions can benefit from a little Elemis, no matter your age or skin type. So, forgive us for getting all...

Adidas Originals and Wales Bonner Have Released a Bob Marley Inspired Collection, and It’s Epic
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wales Bonner (@walesbonner) Winner of the 2016 LMVH Young Designer award, 28-year-old Grace Wales Bonner and adidas Originals has finally released its Autumn/Winter 2020 collaboration, and it’s everything we expected it would be. First teased back in January at London Fashion Week, the new collection is partially inspired by Bob Marley, alongside the 1970s and dancehall – themes which frequently inspire Wales Bonner pieces. The new collection seeks to transform sportswear classics into Afro-Caribbean luxury through “hybrid tracksuits, nostalgic trainers, and relaxed tailored styles”. In terms of footwear, Bonner has taken to the popular Adidas Samba silhouette alongside the lesser-known SL72, reworking them with a colour ...
From New York to L.A.: This Is What Our US Editors Are Buying in Zara
As a company, we feel so lucky to have teams across the globe, from London to L.A. While we have only managed to meet our fellow US editors in person a handful of times, thanks to social media, we are no strangers to their enviable style credentials and impeccable taste. We’ll happily take any opportunity to glean inspiration and tips from across the pond and implement them in our own wardrobes, and we realised it was high time that we share their wisdom with the world. We asked five members of the fashion team to head to one of our favourite global high-street brands, Zara, and pick the eight pieces that they’re loving right now. Of course, they did not disappoint, and they came up with a lust-worthy list of winter staples, feel-good separates, and elevating hero pieces. The ...
25 Expensive-Looking Knitwear Buys From & Other Stories, Arket and COS
It’s official: Winter has arrived and our inner thermostats have switched from ‘casual October layers’ into full-blown ‘batten-down-the-hatches’ survival mode. Suddenly our small selection of fine knit jumpers and casual cardigans is seeming laughably insufficient—mission Get Warm has now commenced. To help you on your way, we’ve been scouring the high street, trying to find the most expensive-looking (but budget-friendly) jumpers that will fulfill all your November needs. Our results show that Arket, & Other Stories, COS are looking particularly good in the knitwear stakes this season. & Other Stories is all about the elevated classics, Arket is fab for super-warm alpaca-blend pieces and chunky fabrics, COS, meanwhile, is mixing it up with kni...
In 2021, I’ll Be Wearing These Jacket Trends on Repeat
If there’s something we love in the fashion industry, it’s a label. Some people are jeans people, some shoes. Some people can’t do without knitwear. Others are obsessed by bags. I, however, am a collector of jackets. I’m not sure how it started, but I know that currently sat in my wardrobe I have 24 of them in all different colours and styles. Some pieces I bought years ago that I still wear, such as a classic black jacket from Jigsaw. Others are vintage finds such as a little white embroidered jacket that Jeanne Damas complimented me on and a £15(!) Aquascutum jacket that fits me perfectly. When tasked with looking ahead to 2021 and working out the biggest jacket trends, it makes sense that this job falls to me, as clearly I take this garment very seriously. For t...
The Basic Product That VB, J.Lo and Meghan Swear By
While one person’s holy grail makeup item might be mascara and another’s a classic red lipstick, there’s one thing that everyone is pretty unanimous about in 2020: glowy skin is in. Yes, a matte complexion feels decidedly ‘90s in an era where highlighters and radiance-boosting primers top the lists of best-selling beauty products. So it’s of no surprise that face powder—a staple of my 2005 beauty routine—has fallen distinctly out of favour, with many beauty editors and fashion girls renouncing it all together. But I’ve got news for you: Some of our favourite A-listers have been using face powder all along—and it might just be the key to why their makeup always looks so damn good. Turns out, celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Victoria Beckham and the makeup...
These Rich Creams Are Just What Dry Skin Needs Right Now
I’m a dessert person. I like to believe that all people are dessert people, but I’ve been left rather disappointed at the end of many a meal, by dessert-refusers. My penchant for sweet, creamy things has translated into beauty, as I spent most of the early 2000’s hunting out gourmand fragrances (hello, Britney Spears Fantasy) and grabbing any body cream that smelled like the inside of a bakery. As my age and taste has shifted somewhat, I’m less into vanilla-scented everything but dessert textured skincare is where it’s at for me. I’m talking dense, thick, whipped cream-like moisturisers. The products with that ever-so-satisfying finger dunk that remind me of a mixing bowl of meringue. This isn’t only a sensory thing as these rich creams sure work...
The Crown’s Princess Diana, Emma Corrin, Has Some Equally Impressive Offscreen Style
It’s exciting to watch The Crown‘s Emma Corrin become an overnight success of an actor. Having also appeared as a supporting role in Misbehaviour alongside Keira Knightley and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, playing a young Princess Diana is certainly the role of a lifetime. And while her onscreen style as the people’s princess is captivating, her offscreen style is equally impressive. Corrin is an ambassador for Miu Miu, which explains why she’s often seen wearing Prada’s girlish but sophisticated sister brand – like the custom blue check-print, Diana-inspired outfit she wore to The Crown‘s season 4 virtual premiere. When not in semicharacter, her style is pretty consistent. Corrin loves a classic black maxi dress for a red carpet event, whether that be a sexy, ...
The Crown’s Emma Corrin Just Wore a Mango Coat That We’d Definitely Buy
After bingeing the entirety of The Crown‘s fourth season in just a matter of days, it’s safe to say that I am well and truly in awe of Emma Corrin’s spot-on portrayal of Princess Diana. Thanks to her recent breakout role the actress has been making the press rounds to publicise the show (albeit from home), and as it turns out Corrin is just as fashionably inclined as the woman she plays on screen. The star appeared on The Graham Norton Show wearing a puff-sleeve number by Richard Quinn and opted for a head-to-toe Miu Miu look for the series’ (virtual) Netflix premiere. However, when it comes to everyday outfits, we’re starting to discover that Corrin’s style is a little more attainable—and she’s just as adept at shopping the high street for classi...
PJs Have Become My Second Skin—and These Are the Pairs I’m Tempted by
This time of year is typically when we see a spike in sales of fancy pyjamas, as many indulge in beautiful PJs for the Christmas period or to give as a gift. Given our lead-up to Christmas this year is spent pre-dominantly on the sofa, rather than bar hopping, it’s unsurprising that for many of us pyjamas have become something of a second skin. If you’re looking to upgrade from your trusty old flannel PJs, there are a number of little-known and independent labels creating beautiful sets that are worth spending a little more on. Following this year’s lockdown restrictions, loved British dress brand Rixo pivoted into loungewear, creating pyjama sets and robes in its distinctive star and floral prints that have made Rixo dresses a household name over the past five years. A ...
6 Editors Break Down Their Simple (But Incredibly Effective) Skincare Routines
Finding good skincare products can be overwhelming—there’s always a buzzy new ingredient you absolutely haveto try or an update on a formulation that promises a slew of benefits you didn’t know you needed. Having access to these products is undoubtedly a perk of being a Who What Wear editor, but it also has its setbacks. On the one hand, it helps us discover products we really, truly love, which we can then reiterate to you firsthand. On the flip side, the potency of really great products is sometimes diluted by the sheer volume of moisturisers, serums, balms, and oils we road-test. As such, we thought it was high-time to cancel out the noise and simply focus on the skincare buys we know—from months, if not years of use—work. Editors and experts from both sides of the Atlantic...
