Although some may feel like it’s too early to start thinking about Christmas shopping, we feel it’s only right to remind you that, for many, there’s potentially only one more payday between now and December 25. So it makes sense to start thinking about it now—not only to spare you the stress that comes with leaving it to the last minute but also to ensure that your money goes as far as you need it to over the next couple of months. That’s where we come in. We donned our (chic) elf outfits, and in an attempt to make this endeavour easier on your part, we’ve assembled the very best Christmas gifts for her in one place, all of which we’ve neatly categorised by budget.

This Trending Coat Is So Warm It Almost Feels Like A Sleeping Bag
If our statistics are anything to go by, lockdown 2.0 is seeing a surge in sales of puffer coats. We’ll have to wait and see if there will be the same increased demand for jigsaws and Farrow and Ball paint, however judging by the sales referred by Who What Wear over the past few days, everyone is on the hunt for the warmest coat they can find. With walks with one person outside of your household still permitted this lockdown, warm winter outfits have never been so vital. I have been on my own hunt to find the perfect puffer coat over the past week, and after hours of trawling, I settled on the maxi down coat from Arket. If my social life is going to be al fresco in November, I want to be cocooned in as much padding as possible. It comes in black and camel, and has a c...
The Craft: Legacy’s Costume Designer Used Nature’s Elements to Create a Modern Teen Witch Wardrobe
The Craft: Legacy has an impressive act to follow. While the magic of the original ’90s classic is unmatched, the newest addition to The Craft film series is a modern take on the teen witch story. Beyond themes of embracing personal power and stepping into womanhood, director Zoe Lister-Jones’s sequel explores intersectionality and elemental magic — reflected in the coven’s contemporary style by costume designer Avery Plewes. “I think it’s a spiritual process for a lot of people,” Plewes told POPSUGAR when asked what magic means to her. “Magic is about embracing your power within, and sort of getting in touch with your desires.” Plewes loved The Craft growing up, and thinks Lister-Jones did “a really good job of creating unique characte...
From Instagram Feeds to the Chic Bathrooms, This Cult Beauty Brand Is Everywhere
The term ‘cult beauty’ gets thrown around a lot, so, when we use it here at Who What Wear, we do so with consideration. However, if there’s one brand that has undoubtedly reached cult status, it’s Aēsop; the Australian luxury skin-, hair-, and body-care emporium, whose products have gone on to become essentials in just about every cool-girl’s bathroom cabinet. Aēsop was born in 1987, when its founder, hairdresser Dennis Paphitis, started blending essential oils into hair products. He started with just four products and, thanks to their heavenly scents and rich, nourishing effects, demand grew amongst is clientele for his homemade formulations. Fast-forward to 2020 and the brand is one of the most prominent players in the global skincare market, boasting almost 100 products in its aesthetic...
I’m a Fashion Editor—Here Are the Autumn Basics I Get the Most Compliments On
I’m always the most inspired to get dressed when a new season rolls around. Yep, it means that many of the trends I’ve been eyeing from the runways are finally starting to drop and I can start mixing them into my personal wardrobe. And that’s exactly what I’m doing this autumn.

One thing I can guarantee—all of the pieces ahead earn major compliments every time I wear them. From the Instagram-inspired way I’m styling a sweatsuit to the comfortable jeans I can’t stop wearing to the boot trend I won’t stop talking about, here, see how I’m wearing some of my favorite autumn fash...
Burberry Teams Up with Marcus Rashford to Support Youth Charities in London and Manchester
Burberry is partnering with English footballer Marcus Rashford MBE to support numerous youth organisations in London and Manchester, and charities with a global reach. After campaigning heavily over the summer to ensure that the government continue to provide free school meals to young people affected by the coronavirus, the Manchester United and England striker was approached by Burberry to fund local and international youth organisations that hold a special place in Rashford’s own journey. In honour of Rashford, Burberry will continue working with London Youth to fund grants and programmes for fifteen youth centres that will “make a positive impact in some of London’s most deprived communities,” says Burberry in a press statement. The heritage fashion house is als...

I’m a Modest Dresser—Here’s How I Master the Tricky Art of Layering
This obviously isn’t news to anyone, but layering is key when it comes to cold weather. It’ll keep you comfortable on the days where the weather just can’t seem to stay consistent, and if you prefer to dress modestly like me, it’ll help you adapt to current trends without stepping out of your comfort zone. As someone who layers year-round (yes, even in the summer!) I’d say you can basically consider me a professional at this point. But unlike how easy street-style stars and the outfits in your Instagram saved folder can make it seem, putting together a perfectly layered outfit can be a bit of a lengthy process. If you’re wondering how to make that process easier, then you’ve come to the right place. From implementing different styling tricks into my routine to try...

I Live In Manchester and Always See These 4 Beauty Trends
Again, these are old generalisations and the obvious reality is that it varies hugely. Manchester in particular, has its clusters of fashion and beauty tribes. There’s the artsy-kids, vintage-lovers, punk-rockers, streetwear aficionados and yes, the wonderfully glam girls who know how to contour as well as any Kardashian. All approach beauty differently, according to their personal style. Yet is there a noticeable difference between beauty trends in Manchester and London? Lauren Cokjuler doesn’t seem to think so. The Manchester based blogger said: “I think I used to see a difference between the North and South. The North reminds me more of vintage, band tees etc. But with social media and bloggers, I think people get much more inspiration than what they see in the street and mag...
This Buzzy Product Promises to Give You the Results Of A Facial At Home
Like the rest of the Versed skincare collection, the Doctor’s Visit Mask is vegan, cruelty-free, and clean. It’s as safe as it is effective. That means no tingling and no burning, just a post-facial glow in a flash with results that build. Oh, and did we mention you only need to apply it once a week for just a few short minutes to see these impressive results? To reap the Doctor’s Visit Mask’s benefits, apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin. Leave it on the skin for two to three minutes, then rinse it off with cool water. Its potency means it shouldn’t be used for longer than three minutes tops and that you should avoid using other acid-based products and retinoids for 24 hours before and after each use to allow your skin time to adj...
