This Is the New Collar Microtrend I Love and Think You Will Too
If there’s anything I know about 2020, it’s that we’ve been obsessed with nostalgia. You could argue that it’s our way of trying to escape the year, but when it comes to the fashion world, previous trends have always influenced current collections. And what could be better and more apt than embracing the ’70s-collar trend? It’s the easiest way to add a bit of punch to your outfit when getting dressed right now can feel a little repetitive. The runways that showed this trend included, of course, Bottega Veneta and Celine. Gucci, never one to shy away from a bold colour or vintage-inspired look, also had models wearing pink metallic shirts featuring that distinctive Saturday Night Fever collar. The beauty of this trend is that it’s ver...
7 Interesting Winter Outfits You Can Wear for Your Weekend Walks
As much as we’d like to pretend they haven’t, winter temperatures have well and truly set in. The mercury has dropped, and to be frank, it is well below what a summer-loving Australian like me is used to. I am in need of a heavy dose of winter outfit inspiration, as getting through the coming months will require a lot of planning. Where better to turn than Instagram? From images of cosy coats shot among fallen leaves to envy-inducing fluffy jackets and roll-neck jumper combinations, our set of fashion friends definitely know how to make anyone crave winter dressing. While winter might not be my season of choice, one thing working in its favour is the fact that it provides more opportunity to experiment with my wardrobe. The abundance of ...
What to Wear to Increase Productivity While Working From Home
Well, here we are. Back in a sort-of lockdown. No doubt the temptation to stay in your pyjamas all day is rife, as is the desire to wear slippers non-stop and only actually style your hair for those endless Zoom calls. In moments like this, there is high chance productivity will start to wane, so we thought it would be best to consult a few experts and tap into the knowledge of women who have been working from home long before it was government-mandated. Whether they be freelancers or small business owners the women below have a wealth of understanding about what it means to be productive in a home environment and unsurprisingly, for many of them, it all starts with the way in which they get dressed in the morning.

I Just Looked Through Thousands of Dresses, and These 25 Wowed Me
If there’s one thing I know about Who What Wear readers, it’s that you all love dresses. While we might not have as many opportunities to wear frocks to parties, dinners, pubs, and clubs, especially with the festive season coming up, don’t let that put you off wearing something that you love. In a nutshell, wear that dress that you’ve had your eye on because it’ll make you feel great. To help, I decided to look through literally thousands of dresses online and find the best party dresses I could for Christmas 2020. There are a few rules I often stick to for dressing during the festive period. Firstly, I like to pick something I’ll wear over and over so it doesn’t go to the big festive wardrobe in the sky. Sequins are fine so long as you remember yo...

The One Coat Trend I’m Desperate to Get My Hands on This Winter
In contrast to the high-tech fashion anoraks and Michelin Man–inspired puffas cropping up on Instagram, this sepia-toned trend is reminiscent of the sultry ensembles of old Hollywood femme fatales. In other words, they come with a generous side order of sass. They may have originally been worn with ankle-grazing frocks, ice skates and fur muffs, but in true 2020 style, the fashion crowd has enjoyed subverting the retro undertones and pairing theirs with light-wash denim, chunky jewellery and clashing prints. The beauty of this coat trend is that it’s available at every price point—from under £50 to over £500. Not only this, but it’s also a style that lends itself to buying secondhand (which is always a big plus in our books). Wh...
These 7 Winter Trends Look So Much Better Secondhand
Sourcing the season’s biggest fashion trends secondhand has become a bit of a pastime of mine. There’s something I find so satisfying about investing in a directional look through the medium of pre-loved fashion. Back in August, I decided to put my obsession to good use and compile a vintage guide to the summer’s biggest trends, and thankfully our lovely readers couldn’t get enough, so I’m back again for autumn/winter 2020 to bring you the ultimate shopping guide to the new season styles that look even better secondhand. Whether it’s because of their quality, cut or fabric, I have chosen seven trends that will slip seamlessly into your new season capsule and can easily found on any onl...
7 Cold-Weather Outfits That Will Bring You Joy This November
I’m repeating myself, so forgive me when I say the following: We have to squeeze as much joy as possible out of our daily activities. Right now, that probably means doing things like making your favourite dinners on repeat and getting outside as much as you can. For me, it also means wearing clothing that actually makes me happy. For example, on low days, I like to reach for an oversize red cardigan that’s just as cosy as it is fun. I’m also a fan of wearing a leopard print dress or skirt—even if I stay in all day. I looked to some of my favourite influencers to see what they’re wearing right now. Not only are these outfits that battle the colder weather but they also might give you a rush of endorphins, however small an amount that might be. Firstly, the...
Priyanka Chopra Wears a Stunning Red Sari to Celebrate Karwa Chauth with Nick Jonas
Priyanka Chopra must have the most incredible collection of saris. The Indian actor celebrated the Hindu festival of Karwa Chauth on Wednesday, 4 Nov. while wearing a stunning, custom-made red sari. She shared a series of photos wearing the beautiful dress, and looking loved up with husband Nick Jonas to her personal Instagram, accompanied by the caption “Happy Karwa Chauth to everyone celebrating.❤️ I love you Nick Jonas.” Chopra’s gorgeous red sari was designed by Mumbai-based fashion brand Jade by Monica and Karishma, and styled by Ami Patel, who completed the look with a stack of delicate gold bangles on the actor’s wrist, statement gold rings, earrings, and a necklace. But the most beautiful addition to Chopra’s look was the love she has for...
Mulberry Is Relaunching One of Its Most Iconic It Bags, and We’re Here For It
If you didn’t manage to get your hands on an Alexa back then (some of us are still sore about it, ok) you’re in luck. In the lead up to the iconic British brand’s 50th anniversary next year, they have relaunched the signature silhouette this week. The updated design is instantly recognisable but has been refined for the modern day— in line with Mulberry’s commitment to responsible innovation, notable sustainable changes include the use of leather from gold standard, environmentally accredited tanneries and crafted at the brand’s carbon neutral UK factories. The result is a timeless design that now epitomises a sustainable approach to luxury. Plus, there’s a whole new range of colours, from earthy neutrals to joyful brights, as well as the brand’s classics...
I’ve Replaced My Wipes, Cotton Pads and Makeup Remover With This One Product
But does it actually work? Turns out, yes. When soaked in water, the innovative HaloTech fibres trap makeup and remove it from your skin. Plus, they do a pretty decent job of cleaning your complexion and gently exfoliating. (Although I couldn’t forgo cleansing entirely in favour of Face Halo—it’s too much of a relaxing evening ritual for me.) I was so surprised at how effectively this little pad removed all traces of makeup from my skin without any pulling or tugging. The only thing I will say is that after one use my Face Halo was totally covered in makeup and needed a wash before its next use. You can either buy them singly or in packs of three, the latter of which is what I have. But I’m not always on top of my washing (understatement of the year), so I bought an extra...
