29 Stocking Fillers That Won’t Be Relegated to a Drawer on Boxing Day
When you’re a kid, your stocking is one of the best things about Christmas, but over time, they somewhat lose their appeal. Often stuffed with novelty gifts that will be stuffed to the back of a drawer come December 26th, we by no means want to sound ungrateful. Still, if someone is going to go to the effort (and effort is it) to create a stocking, surely you want it to fill it with small tokens they’ll cherish. That’s where we come in. We’ve curated an edit of incredibly stylish stocking fillers, for both men and women, that will leave the recipient in awe of your shopping skills. And don’t worry, we’ve kept the budget tight—everything you see is £25 or less, with the most frugal find coming in at a mere £4. From next-level chocolate bars and books to ...
These Slippers Feel So Fancy That You’ll Never Want to Wear Shoes Again
This year slippers have had something of a rebrand. As we are spending more time indoors, many of us are upgrading our slippers, swapping our tired fluffy chuck-ons for something that is both comfortable, but also helps to feel like we’ve got dressed each morning. To me, my upgrade was a pair of faux fur tan ballerina slippers from Arket. And like any rebrand, slippers have a new name in 2020—the house shoe. The house shoe is more elevated and beautiful than your average slipper, and so it’s perhaps unsurprising that one of the labels behind this is the Olsen twins’ luxury minimal powerhouse brand, The Row. They have created slippers which come in both velvet and leather, and come with a luxury price tag at £600. The Row isn’t the only label which is creating beaut...
11 Winter Outfits I Have Really Loved This Week
It can be all too easy when temperatures drop to a certain (read: icy) level to lean on the same outfits you have for the past few years, huddling up in grey, navy and black knitwear and the same black ankle boots. While you can’t beat a classic, if you’re looking for some new winter combinations, the likes of Aimee Song, Lucy Williams and more have been wearing a number of practical yet still interesting looks you too will be able to wear on repeat until spring. Many of these key items you’ll already own, such as roll-necks and classic blazers, but you can make your winter wardrobe more 2020 with cream boots, teddy coats and leather trousers. Just because you have to make sensible choices doesn’t mean you have to spend the next six months in boring and unadventurou...
10 Comfy Co-Ords That Are So Easy to Throw On
Once a multicoloured tableaux of beach-bound bloggers, peacocking street stylers and café-dwelling 20-somethings, since the start of lockdown, Instagram has become an altogether more stripped-back place. Logos have been swapped out for bed linens, extroverted accessories packed away and replaced with shearling slippers, and knitted jogging bottoms favoured over look-at-me gowns. What a difference 6 months makes. Who could’ve predicted that the humble tracksuit would become the fashion girl’s hero item of 2020? But, lo and behold, editors and influencers are positively fawning over cashmere co-ords and jersey fabrics. Coming off the back of last year’s fascination with all things minimalist, it’s fair to say nothing about these twin sets is reminiscent of the velour ...
Everything Is Better in Cashmere, and These 25 Items Prove It
When it comes to our wardrobes, one of the things we’ve discovered this year is that everything is better in cashmere. Yes, that is the bougiest sentence I’ve ever written. Okay, in reality, most of us can’t afford to cocoon our lives in this luxurious fabric, but boy, are we going to daydream about it on cold dark winter evenings. For now, we’ll just have to make do with the odd piece here and there, and to be honest, we’re okay with it. Conveniently, there has been an inundation of cashmere on the market this season, but this is far more than your average crew neck: We’re talking dresses, trousers, coats and accessories all in the cosiest fabric you can imagine. More than ever, there’s a great selection to be found on the high street from brands...
5 Stylish Women Just Gave Me Their Interiors Wish Lists
I don’t know about you, but interiors are all I can think about right now. It’s unsurprising, really, considering we’re all spending a lot more time at home so we’re all keen to improve our surroundings. Sales of candles, furniture and DIY goods have gone up in the past year, especially since the beginning of lockdown in March. Like most people, I can find interiors a little overwhelming. Yes, it’s highly personal but I always find looking at other people’s tastes and homes incredibly useful for honing my own living space. So, I did what we love to do at Who What Wear: I decided to ask some of the people I follow on Instagram about what’s on their dream interiors wish lists. All of the five women I spoke to have different tastes when it comes to t...
All the Iconic Princess Diana Outfits We Want to See on The Crown
There’s no doubt that 2020 has been the year of the streaming service, with Netflix, Amazon and iPlayer saving us in the evenings and weekends. But if you’re finding that you’ve finished Tiger King, Normal People, Selling Sunset and Emily in Paris, then we have good news: The Crown is returning and this time it’s with the addition of Princess Diana. Played by Emma Corrin, we already know some of the iconic outfits we’ll get to see, including her wedding dress created by Elizabeth Emanuel. It’s hardly surprising that most of the headlines about the show’s new season focus on the late royal. Princess Diana’s style has been examined endlessly, and the obsession with her clothes shows no sign of slowing down. A few years ago, Off-White‘s S...
These Feel-Good Knits Will Instantly Elevate Any Outfit
Rule number one of dressing for the English winter? Never underestimate the outfit-transforming powers of a statement knit. It’s a tenet that is sure to become increasingly relevant as we enter our first winter with the backdrop of social distancing and as jumpers start to become a key source of creativity (especially if Zoom has anything to do with it). While in previous years coats were the hero item of the colder months, it feels as though the limitations on outdoor events and commuting will mean that what lies beneath will get all the attention. More often than not, I’ll throw on a jumper at some point during the day when I’m working from home, but there’s something about a bright colour or fun print that makes the process so much more enjoyable. Simple jeans a...
Ganni’s Trending Summer Dress Just Got a Winter Update
If there was one designer dress that got the most love over the course of summer 2020, it would have to be Ganni’s seersucker midi dress. Flattering (thanks to the smocked bust), stylish, and coming in a range of feel-good shades, it quickly gathered a legion of fans who wore it out and about during this year’s heatwave. As is often the case with our favourite summer dresses, the moment autumn arrived, we wished there was a cold-weather version of the Ganni gem. Well, the brand has just answered our fashion prayers. Coming in the same fit, length, and checked fabric, the winter iteration features longer sleeves, which makes it perfect for cooler days. This baby is just begging to be worn with this season’s track-sole boots, a roll-neck, and a duvet coat—perfect for a chi...
5 Ways to Wear a Duvet Coat If You’re Not Usually a Puffer-Coat Person
It’s hard not to walk down the street right now and not spot a puffer coat, and really, who can blame us? Insulating, waterproof and versatile, when it’s cold and drizzly outside they’re all we want to be wearing. A longline puffer coat is essentially the only socially acceptable way to wear a duvet to the supermarket. Who knew fashion could be so comforting? Saying all this, I also can understand why some people have been resistant to give this trend a go (I was one of them), but thankfully this winter the puffer comes in various iterations so it’s by no means one-size-fits-all. For example, look at this season’s quilted puffer, which offers less bulk than the traditional style but still packs plenty of cocooning appeal. Or, why not be inspired by the elegant...
The Best High-Street Buys We’ve Seen on Instagram This November
The team at Who What Wear UK prides itself on uncovering cult items before they’ve even made it off the production line. We’re keen, to say the least, and a great portion of our time is spent documenting and analysing the Instagram posts of the thousands of cool women we follow on Instagram for high-street sightings. In fact, we have WhatsApp groups and Slack channels dedicated to these affordably priced power pieces, and we want to update you on them as soon as possible (aka after we’ve bought our faves). Our skills are so attuned that more often than not, we’ll have an inkling about a certain piece before it has hit the big time. Sometimes, you’ll find a flurry of brand-specific action due to a paid activation or natural desire to wear a particular thing or ...
How to Stop Biting Your Nails, According to Someone Who Knows
I’m going to let you in on a little secret: Every beauty editor feels like a bit of a phony sometimes. You see, the truth is beauty is just far too broad of a subject for any one editor to know every detail of every facet. Take, for example, the subject of skin. We know that we have to advise and inform others on products for all skin types, even when we can’t relate. Just because my skin is naturally oily and sensitive, it doesn’t mean I don’t have to ever research and write about dryness and acne. Although us beauty eds are extremely well versed in such topics, it’s easy to feel like a bit of a fraud when we haven’t experienced something first-hand. For me, it has always been especially difficult to write about nails. Why, you ask? Well because for the majority of my career, I have...
