I Have a Feeling This Is Going to Be the Biggest Beauty Product of 2021
Used by beauty editors, dermatologists and celebrities far and wide, C E Ferulic is the gold standard of vitamin C products. Results are almost instantly noticeable, and it gives skin a healthy radiance that really can’t be beaten. The price tag is enough to make you wince (hard), but the truth is, in my experience, when it comes to vitamin C, you get what you pay for. The only issue I have with it? It’s not perfect for those with oily skin, like myself. While its additional moisturising properties are great for mature or drier skin types, it’s just too heavy for my breakout-prone complexion. So, while I have been reaping the benefits of the vitamin C in C E Ferulic for some time, its oily nature does contribute to congestion. Because of this, for years I have watched on as people wit...
Every Piece You Need to Re-Create Katie Holmes’s Cool Capsule Wardrobe
With no runway shows, film premieres, gallery opening nights, and swanky industry parties to attend, 2020 has all but cancelled out celebrity street style. Like the rest of us, the A-list have scarcely ventured outside their homes, save for a couple of coffee runs, workout sessions, and grocery shops. However, there’s one sartorially-blessed actress who has been serving up effortlessly stylish this year, all while adhering to distancing restrictions and with a mask in tow. Of course, we’re talking about Katie Holmes. We need not remind you of the fashion frenzy that ensued in 2019 after she stepped out wearing a knitted bralet and cardigan combination from cool-girl brand Khaite, which subsequently became cult. Since then, Katie has been very much on our style radar and, ...
The Simple Outfit Fashion Girls Wear on Repeat in Winter
In the world of fashion, colour trends come and go; one minute, the runway will be lauding one specific hue but, the next, influencers will seem to synchronise the wearing of another shade. This is because colour trends are one of the easiest to tag on to as, unless it’s a completely niche tone, you’ll likely find something in your wardrobe to match. However, what if we were to tell you that the latest colour fix fashion girls are wearing is something we guarantee you already own? White has always held a special place in our hearts. Whether it’s in the form of a luxe chunky knit or a pair of sleek trousers, somehow, wearing this shade in any guise makes us feel significantly chicer—so imagine the polishing effects of wearing it top-to-toe. Th...
The 5 Items Our UK and US Editors Have on Their 2021 Wish Lists
Something I’m often asked is, who do editors go to for fashion advice? Naturally, I rely on my friends just like anyone else—they’re more honest than a mirror and have saved me from buying things in a moment of pure sartorial lust that, in hindsight, I know I would have regretted. Then, of course, there are other editors; my colleagues whose tastes I trust implicitly. In fact, at the start of any new season, I’m always keen to learn which pieces have caught their eye—it is, after all, an editor’s job to tell you which buys are the best. So, I decided to do just that—ask Who What Wear’s editors from both sides of the Atlantic which items are on their new season wish lists. As a treat, I’ve shared their suggestions with you below. Essentially a master document featuring every not...
This Sustainable Lipstick Brand Has Some Seriously Wearable Shades
I try a lot of lipsticks and while I’ve got everything I need in the red, plum, nude, matte and creamy departments, I’m lacking in one. I’m not a fan of the use of the marketing term ‘clean beauty’–as there’s yet to be a consistent definition across brands for it. However, I’m a big fan of beauty brands who go beyond the semantics. Brands who are thoughtful about the ingredients they use and most importantly have a transparent and sustainable supply chain. That’s where my lipstick collection is lacking. I’ve been in the market for one that does all of the above but also has an incredible formula, sleek packaging and wearable shades. I’m not gonna lie its been pretty difficult, but thanks to HIGHR, the sustain...
I Asked the Experts—These Will Be 2021’s Defining Interior Trends
There are many things we’re looking to leave behind us in 2020, but our obsession with interiors isn’t one of them. For most of us, our homes have become our places of work as well as our havens of rest. As such, it’s understandable that elevating our spaces has become a priority. Still, that doesn’t mean that your quest to achieve interiors nirvana needs to be over. For now, on the cusp of a new year, fresh interiors trends are starting to emerge. With our interests piqued, we decided to ask those in the know what they think 2021’s big interior trends will be. We consulted with Charmaine White, founder and interior designer at The White House Interiors, Matthew Tranter, founder of architectural and interiors visualisation s...
This £35 & Other Stories Knit Keeps Selling Out
& Other Stories has always had one of the strongest knitwear sections on the high street; from cult-status varsity jumpers to sought-after cable-knit cardigans, whatever woolly moment you’re looking for, you’re sure to find it here. However, one of my favourite toasty finds is its mock neck jumper; a straight-fit knit sweater with what the brand calls a “mock neck”—a high neckline that isn’t bulky and that doesn’t roll over itself. The jumper itself is not oversized, nor is it fitted; it’s simply the perfect cut for layering over dresses and blouses, or for tucking into the front of your jeans or a skirt alike. The off-shoulder seams loan to the overall relaxed feel, making it the ideal throw-on for days in the house as well as a cosy extra lay...
If Low-Maintenance Beauty Is Your Thing, Try These Speedy Makeup Tips
In recent years beauty and make-up grew significantly more complicated. Between the beauty YouTuber phenomenon and the transformative powers of contouring, makeup is far from low-maintenance these days. And, let’s face it, we’ve more than enjoyed experimenting. Still, there’s also demand for simpler, easy-to-do make-up for the days when you just don’t want to do that much (if ever). Low-maintenance beauty is my thing—especially this year when my social activity has dramatically reduced. On a day-to-day, I try to do my best off-duty model impression with neat brows, a quick slick of concealer, and blush. The idea isn’t to be perfect but presentable and refreshed. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating...
8 Easy Outfits Every Fashion Girl Should Try This Winter
Getting dressed can be a struggle at the best of times. Throw in the fact that it’s dark, cold and gloomy outside, and pulling yourself out of bed in the morning to choose an outfit is likely the last thing you want to do. So imagine how easy things would be if you had a handful of ready-made outfits at your disposal, all of which are weather-appropriate, incredibly chic, simple to assemble, and will work just as well on wintery walks as they will for getting together with your nearest and dearest. Well, imagine no more, for we’ve compiled an edit of influencer-approved ensembles that do all this and then some. Below you’ll find eight basic winter outfits that are anything but boring. In fact, you can likely compile with items that already exist in your wardrobe. They can...
These Big New Trends Are Truly Ageless—And We Have Proof
Here at Who What Wear, we don’t subscribe nor even remotely entertain the notion that younger is better. Sure, we might search for skincare that ensures our complexions look their best but, as far as we see it, ageing is a privilege, something to be celebrated, and does not define you or how you live your life. Which brings us to our intended topic: Clothes. We’re of the opinion that, regardless of your age, if you like something, and it makes you feel good, then you should wear it. No questions asked. As for not being able to wear specific trends because of your age? That’s a myth. Any worthwhile fashion movement can be tailored to suit anyone; if it can’t, then it’s not a “trend” we’d share with you. Instead, when we conside...
How Intimate Ceremonies Have Changed Wedding Style Forever
I wasn’t the first of my inner circle to get engaged, and while I loved fawning over my friends as they tried on billowing gowns of lace, tulle, and taffeta, I knew the whole “say yes to the dress” thing wasn’t for me. Instead, I opened my laptop, browsed the Net-a-Porter sale, and chose a non-bridal dress. It came, I tried it on in my flat, I liked it, and the rest is history. In the almost seven years since I tied the knot, several of my closest friends have all opted for the in-boutique experience. We sipped champagne and shed tears when the bride-to-be emerged wearing The One. And although this wasn’t the shopping path I chose for myself, the occasion’s specialness was, and still isn’t, lost on me. And this year, I’ve had to console...
