I’m a Beauty Expert and These Are the 6 Beauty Lessons That 2020 Has Taught Me
But then 2020 happened. Much like everything else in life, the events of the past year or so really have messed with my beauty routine. Spending more time at home, rethinking my product budgets and a big shift in general priorities have meant that I’ve been forced into doing things a little differently. For example, whereas once upon I time I may have spent an hour applying my makeup before dinner, this year, my makeup drawer has gone largely untouched. Similarly, while monthly facials were once a set fixture in my diary, the past few months have seen me adding various new skincare products into my line up in a bid to get my glow back. And it is as a result of this shift in priorities that made me realise that I still have many beauty lessons to learn. Much like everyone else I k...
Short Curly Hairstyles That Will Make You Rethink Your Long Hair
It doesn’t matter your curl pattern, density or face shape, whether loose waves or tight coils, short curly hair can work on everyone — but with a little effort. “A style that is short and curly is easy to style and manage, but it is one that requires maintenance,” says Daniele de Angelis, International Artistic Director of Toni Guy. The London Hairdresser of the Year 2020 explains how the short, curly cut can be achieved. “You should be sure to make regular visits to your hairdresser, especially if the length is above jaw level in order to keep its shape,” she explained to WhoWhatWear. “A short hairstyle can absolutely suit multiple curl textures,” she adds, “but your stylist must adopt the correct cutting technique for the required tex...
The Secret to Glowing Skin Might Just Be the Cold
I can’t stand being hot and let’s not even talk about sweating. So unimpressed. With that said, it’ll come as no surprise that I’m not afraid of the cold, in fact I welcome it. Recently, I started the Wim Hof Method, not in an attempt to be labelled as the ‘Icewoman’ but I was intrigued by the health benefits. The method includes breathwork and the signature cold showers. Honestly, its been a game-changer for me. The breathwork has helped me to connect to my body better and given me more energy and focus. I may not like being hot, but I love hot showers. The method involves having your usual temperature shower followed by a cold shower, starting at 15 seconds and going up to 2 minutes over time. The first week was brutal, but after that...
I’ve Fallen In Love With These Classic Winter Pieces and I Think You Will Too
As a fashion editor, I have spent a lot of my career reporting on new trends, new labels and new ways to wear things. However, in an effort to slow down the trend cycle and buy items with longevity in mind, we are also conscious here at Who What Wear to dedicate as many stories to repeated outfit ideas, classic items and secondhand items. Personally, I always gravitate to simple pieces that have a timeless appeal. Below I’ve put together an edit of classic winter pieces that I really love, including fine knitwear to wear in place of a T-shirt, beautiful leather handbags, blazers in neutral shades and chunky ankle boots. In terms of brands, there of a number of labels I always turn to for a timeless aesthetic. At a higher price point, Nanushka and Totême are two brands leading th...
Like It or Not, Clogs Are Back, and They’re Coming to Get You
Among the Who What Wear team, I’m known for loving an “ugly” shoe. Case in point: my thoughts on how Crocs are going to be big in 2021. While that might be an “ugly” shoe too far for some, style-adjacent to the Crocs is the clog, which is also coming back for 2021. It might seem like the same shoe but is actually a little different, and (sorry Crocs), much cooler. Last summer, I was drawn to clogs when I spotted Fabrizio Viti‘s daisy versions. I own a pair of the denim ones and while I didn’t have anywhere to wear them last summer, I can’t wait to style them à la Lucy Williams and pair with socks. As for the rest of fashion, I can really pinpoint the moment we turned towards loving clogs and that was when Hermès debuted th...

These 6 Winter Accessory Trends Are Thriving Right Now
When you’re bundled up in a zillion layers in the winter, all the pressure is put on your accessories to make your outfit really shine. They bring out the “extra” side in everyone—after all, what’s the best way to jazz up an outfit than with some fun accoutrements? And this season especially, the hats, jewellery, and bags on offer are about as extra as they come. Throw on a fuzzy bucket hat for your daily social-distancing walk or some pretty pearl earrings to your simplest sweater-and-jeans look. But even if you’re into something more subdued, a simple sweater-over-shoulders styling trick offers the perfect update. Whatever vibe you’re on these days, add in one (or multiple) of the below hats, bags, earrings,...

Your Dad’s Fave Brand Has Become the Ultimate Fashion Status Symbol
I’ve lived near the Peak District for a lot of my life. It is renowned for attracting walkers, hikers, climbers, cyclists and pretty much any outdoor activity you can think of. I also lived in South London for four years out of the 10 I lived in the capital. While the comparisons aren’t exactly easy to come by or particularly obvious, I know there’s one thing that brings the two places together: The North Face. Outdoor sports enthusiasts wear the label on Stanage Edge, as do teenagers in Brixton. Believe it or not but the brand has become the ultimate fashion status symbol. This is probably news to your dad and anyone else who wouldn’t consider themselves to be bothered about fashion (no disrespect to the dads who are super stylish). I’m not completely su...
From Plaits to Grown-Out Roots, We Look Back at Margot Robbie’s Hairstyles
From Suicide Squad to Wolf of Wall Street, Margot Robbie is considered a chameleon actor in Hollywood. Off-screen, it’s hard to ignore that the Australian beauty has also nailed her makeup and hair looks over the years, providing some serious hair-inspiration. From plaits to grown-out roots, Margot Robbie’s blonde tresses are a constant feature on our hair mood boards (There was even the lesser documented brunette stint, but she’s been blonde ever-since.) Of course, Margot can’t get all the credit for her stunning hair moments. Her talented glam team, including Chanel makeup artist Pati Dubroff and hairstylist Bryce Scarlett, has created a series of memorable moments for red carpets to press events. Some of the hairstyles seem low-maintenance for us to try...
Best Wardrobes in Britain: Bettina Looney
When did you set up your own company? I worked with Threads for two and a half years, and then I set up my own company afterwards. I was ready for something different and to do something on my own. I wanted it to be boutique, small and bespoke. We do full wardrobe refreshes and then we also create seasonal wardrobes for our clients, do styling edits and source any pieces they are after. We also resell our clients’ pieces, so that we are also circulating that fashion. It’s amazing to be able to offer that service so we can take pieces off their hands, and then we put a small percentage to charity. Have you learned a lot about your own style by clearing other people’s wardrobes? ‘Oh my gosh! I did not have style at all—if you saw my photos in college it is hilarious. I also didn’...
9 Mango Pieces That Are Trending This Month
There are few things I love more than scrolling through Instagram, spotting a chic outfit on a stylish woman and then realising the look is actually affordable. Whether it be high-street, vintage or from an independent brand, there’s something so satisfying about knowing an outfit looks luxe and expensive, yet is totally within reach. This phenomenon has happened to me a few times recently, only to discover the outfits in question were from Mango. From check blazers to leather trousers and of course, an abundance of sleek tailored coats, Mango truly excels in quality designs that look much more expensive than they are. And between Sylvie Mus, Marianne of Smyth Sisters and Yoyo Cao, so many of the chic women I follow also tend to agree. Whether you’re on th...
