The Under-£100 High-Street Buys That’ll Brighten-Up Your Week
Here at Who What Wear UK, we firmly believe that you don’t need to part with serious cash to get your hands on that perfect mood-lifting look, and with the high street offering up plenty of winning spring buys right now (thank you, Arket, Mango, H&M et al), giving your wardrobe a refresh just got a little bit easier. Add to this the fact that the high street is longer reserved for transient trends (and instead, developing its offering of time-tested staples) and you’ve got yourself a winning combo. Case in point: On our wish lists this month is everything from H&M’s chic chunky knit and Arket’s knitted vest to COS’ knitted dress and ASOS’ combat boots. ...
8 Beauty Insiders Share the Relaxing Tips and Pre-Sleep Rituals They Swear By
There’s no doubt that a great night’s sleep can make all of the difference to your state of mind come morning. A full night’s rest often makes for a more positive and productive start to the day. In fact, regular, deep sleep is widely regarded to be one of the most important aspects of a healthy daily routine. So why do so many of us find the very act of sleeping just so damn hard? While times are still far from normal and with nights now starting to draw in earlier, it’s safe to say that any chances of managing to uphold a regimented sleep routine at the moment are slim. In fact, here at Who What Wear, we’re desperately seeking new ways to restore some order and structure into our evening routines, to ensure we’re getting as much quality shut-eye a...
My Mum and I Agree These Are the Best Black Tights You’ll Ever Own
Like arguing over the pronunciation of scones and moaning about the weather, finding the perfect pair of tights is a very British preoccupation. Because, for anyone who likes wearing skirts and dresses in the winter, getting a pair that fits you is vital to ensure your legs don’t get frostbitten. Over the years, I’ve mentally created a list of brands that I no longer go to for pantyhose. I’ve quickly dismissed any tights that are too cheap, ladder easily, and stretch too much. Truly, until you’ve felt the gusset of a pair of tights relentlessly rub your inner thighs as you continue to hoist them up (only for them to fall down again), you’ll never understand real frustration. Not to mention, it’s a real false economy. Think a...
This Is the Only Hairstyling Tool You’ll Ever Need
If there ever comes a time when you find yourself underneath my bed, you’ll find two hair tool boxes. One filled to the brim with tongs that couldn’t hold a curl, rogue hair brush drying tools and hairdryers purchased on a whim that never lived up to my expectations. In summary, the box of disappointments. Then there’s the other box that now only contains the Dyson Airwrap Complete Hair Styler, and this is the only box I’ve been going into. When Dyson launched the Airwrap they changed the hair game with the multi-styler that uses air to style hair instead of the extreme heat, that our hair has fallen victim to in the past. With Dyson, you can always expect some rather fancy tech and the styler has something called the Coanda effect that attracts hair to ...
19 Beauty Boxes That Are Genuinely Great Value for Money
Though this year, we were forced to put our social lives on pause. Though, it seems our love for beauty and skincare never wavered. Who could predict Zoom makeup would become a thing? And let’s face it, now more than ever feels like a time to treat yourself to products that make you feel a little more like pre-2020 you. As I tell myself, it’s self-care. Beauty boxes are a great way to experiment with new products at home (and when working from home). It also feels like Christmas when they arrive in the post. In the age of “makeup haul” videos and social media makeup stars, beauty boxes are a clear response to our evergrowing desire to get *really* good at makeup and even better at understanding what works on our skin and hair. While you can, of course, buy them for yourself, th...
These Party Pyjamas Are Just What We Need for Christmas 2020
This year many of us have spent more time on the sofa and in loungewear than we could have ever imagined, but wearing PJs doesn’t mean you have to wear flannel and baggy T-Shirts and lose all sense of fun. The brand Sleeper was founded in 2014 by former fashion editors Kate Zubarieva and Asya Varetsa who wanted to make luxurious nightwear that you can wear at home or even to a party. The result is uber glamorous pyjama sets which have feather trims on the hems of the trousers and the shirt. These Sleeper sets were particularly popular last festive season, however with parties likely to take place on Zoom and at home this year, something tells me these will be the most sought after party look for 2020. Listed as one of the most popular items on Net-a-Porter right now, t...
H&M Does the Best Shackets Around Right Now
Eleven years ago, I went into a Salvation Army shop and found a blue-and-white check jacket that was the perfect thickness for autumn. Either worn over jeans or with a slip skirt, it’s a piece I’ve pull out of my wardrobe over and over ever since. What I’m saying is that when you buy a decent plaid shacket—brand new or second-hand—you’ll never get rid of it. It’s a piece that will definitely last. Perhaps it’s because of the grunge “trend” that has never really disappeared since it first came to light in the ’90s, or maybe it’s because this just so happens to be a classic casual piece that’s durable. If you’re in the market for such an item, then I have some incredibly good news for you: There are loads of them around on the high street right now. In fact, I’d go as far to...
20 Beauty Boxes That Are Genuinely Great Value for Money
Though this year we were forced to put our social lives on pause, it seems our love for beauty and skincare never wavered. Who could predict Zoom make-up would become a thing? And, let’s face it, now more than ever feels like a time to treat yourself to products that make you feel a little more like pre-2020 you. As I tell myself, it’s self-care. Beauty boxes are a great way to experiment with new products at home (and when WFH). It also feels like Christmas when they arrive in the post. In the age of ‘makeup haul’ videos and social media makeup stars, beauty boxes are a clear response to our ever-growing desire to get *really* good at makeup and even better at understanding what works on our skin and hair. While you can of course buy them for yourself, they also make exceptionally great C...
We Try Before You Buy: Our Favourite Pieces From Our New Autumn Collection
There’s something so whimsical about the onset of autumn. The air becomes crisp and leaves turn to shades of yellow, orange and red, blanketing parks and sidewalk across the country.

The Cult £24-Serum That Has Completely Transformed My Skin
There came a pivotal point during lockdown when I began a huge life purge (I’m certainly not the only one). My wardrobe and the dreaded cupboard under-the-stairs were subject to a crazed woman on a cleansing mission. I needed to own less and I wanted the things I own to serve me (it was very Marie Kondo vibes). Then there was my skincare collection; a mish-mash of cult products that seemed to take up space rather than actually make a discernible difference to my face. I had to ask myself: what is it I actually want my skincare products to do? The answer was simple, I wanted to glow. Blame Instagram, but I wanted to be reminiscent of those dewy, close to translucent women on every brand’s mood board. So I turned to cult favourite Glossier’s Vitamin C ‘Super Glow’ serum. After all, that’s Gl...
How Londoners Are Really Dressing This Autumn
In the grand scheme of things, the lack of new fashion images is hardly a big sacrifice in 2020, but I have to admit that I have missed the usual stream of red carpet, street style, and celebrity out-and-about images. While I long for the frivolity of the Met Gala and the Old Hollywood glamour of the Cannes Film Festival, it’s the street style pictures that really provide the most style inspiration to me—and many others. With most of this year’s fashion weeks taking place digitally and only a handful of buyers and editors invited to appointments, the street style scene was virtually non-existent this September. The thing about street style, however, is that it can give you just as many styling ideas as any runway show. In the absence of the usual street style ga...
