Clueless Costume Designer Mona May Says Cher and Dionne Would Be Wearing Dior in 2020
Clueless was way ahead of its time. The quintessential ’90s fashion film based on Emma by Jane Austen — which is now available to stream in the UK via NOW TV — is a cinema classic thanks to writer and director Amy Heckerling and costume designer Mona May. Unlike generic films about fashion or high school, Clueless doesn’t glorify mean girl behaviour, which is a reason it continues to be fun, fresh, and relevant since its 1995 debut. The film gives a rare look into the fictional friendship of two of the most popular girls in high school, who are expectedly rich, stylish, and desirable. And despite Cher and Dionne’s familiarity with being the envy of others, their solid friendship and genuine love for fashion makes Clueless an enduring teen hit. On the film’s 25th ann...

4 Elevated Legging Outfits for When You Can’t Face the Idea of Jeans
I’m not sure how it happened exactly, but somewhere along the lines, leggings developed somewhat of a bad reputation. A few years ago, the item was relegated to workout looks only, not to be worn outside the context of gym gear or errand running. However, if 2020 has taught us anything, it is that comfort is key, and if leggings are elevated enough to appear on a Chanel runway, they are certainly polished enough for our everyday attire. If you’re yet to embrace leggings outside the realm of athleisure, may I turn your attention to Instagram, where influencers are managing to incorporate the item in several stylish looks? From pairing leggings alongside a boxy blazer and belt to wearing them with a cosy shacket and knee-high boots, there ...
17 Products I Swear by for A Healthy Winter Glow
I don’t know about you, but the minute the mercury drops below 15, my skin starts freaking out. While warm weather and sunny days bring out the best in my complexion, the winter brings out the worst. For the last few weeks, thanks to a combination of cold climes, central heating and beating winds, I have been experiencing dryness, irritation, breakouts and general dullness when it comes to my skin. And I know that I am not alone. In fact, many of my close friends and colleagues have also been complaining of skin issues recently. In a bid to get my skin back on track come winter, every year I bring out my ultimate glow-boosting kit. From super-nourishing moisturisers to light-reflecting highlighters, I turn to the same sort of results-driven products every single year in orde...
& Other Stories Cult Blazer Is Back For 2020 and is Looking Better Than Ever
They say nothing haunts you like the things you didn’t buy (or something like that, right?). Regardless, it’s a feeling of regret I know all too well. Last year, I fell head over heels for a cover-up from & Other Stories. Specifically, a woollen blazer. A light beige hue with an oversized silhouette and a weighty, woven finish, the blazer would make for the perfect accompaniment to my off-duty jeans-and-jumper outfits. It would also make for a chic throw-on over printed dresses and pleated midi skirts. Maybe I was waiting for payday, or perhaps I’d recently bought something else. Whatever the reason, I decided to wait for a couple of weeks to treat myself. However, as you’ve likely already surmised, it sold out before I could get my hands on it. As such, I spent...

We’re Calling It: This H&M Coat Will Be Your Most Important Buy All Winter
With new restrictions in place across various parts of the UK, relegating socialising to an outdoor only activity, it has never been more important to invest in a warm coat. Seeing as we will be spending much more time outdoors this winter than in year’s past, the entire Who What Wear edit team is keeping an eye out for cosy puffers and down jackets that will enable us to stay toasty outside despite the elements. Thankfully, H&M’s current New In section is filled with jackets and coats that fit this exact brief.

Featuring 80% recycled down and 20% feather filling, this coat is sure to keep you warm while running we...
9 New Trends Bottega Veneta, Prada, and Gucci Are Fully Responsible For
Few designer brands are as wildly influential as Bottega Veneta, Prada, and Gucci at this moment in time. When they put something fresh and new on the runway, dozens of brands follow suit, and then we have ourselves a trend. A/W 2020 was no exception to that. But when designers sent their collections down the runway back in February and early March, little did we know that our lives were about to change significantly. While we may not have the same wardrobe needs that we usually do in the fall this year, we still want to know what the trends are so that we can selectively choose which ones we’re going to add to our wardrobes. And there’s no better place to suss them out than the runways of these It brands. We closely examined the fall collect...
You’re About to See Missoma’s New Autumn Collection All Over Your Instagram Feed
We’re going to take an educated guess that Missoma’s new autumn collection is about to be all over your Instagram feeds.

From everyday simple chains to elegant pendants with splashes of just the right amount of colour, and a move into more chunky statement necklaces, perfect for layering over your existing collection.

I’ve Spent the Weekend Looking At Puffer Coats, and These Are My Favourites
Puffer coats have long been considered practical, but stylish? Prior to last winter, we would have said otherwise. However, thanks to a host of designer interpretations of the cosy, borderline-ugly outerwear, they’ve become something of a fashion girl must-have. Last year, their sartorial status has reached its peak, with the likes of Bottega Veneta creating a very special leather puffer coat, which swiftly made its way to the top of many an editor and influencer’s wish list. However, with an asking price surplus of £6,000, needless to say we started to commence the search for more affordable puffer coat variations. And what we found is that some of the strongest styles out there come courtesy of the high street. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are look...
Layering Tricks That Will Help You Outsmart the Weather This Year
If the thought of layering clothes gives you flashbacks to being told to dress for school with the requisite reminder, “Don’t forget your coat,” we promise you that piling it on has never been better. We’ve long associated experimental layering with the Olsen twins during the mid-noughties—hiding from the paparazzi in mountains of bohemian fabrics and hefty coatigans. And a decade later, playful layering is still on the style agenda, especially when navigating weatherproof dressing in winter. To help, we’ve compiled key layering tricks that will help you get more wear out of your existing favourites over the next few months and help you decide what you need to invest in. If there’s one major tip we can give you? You’ll find that one of the most ver...
16 Hand Sanitisers That Almost Smell Just as Good as Perfume
For those of you who have been diligently applying hand sanitiser for years, you’re probably feeling pretty smug right now—especially considering all of the eye-rolls you encountered every time you took out your prized bottle before a meal. Well, as this is our new normal, we all need to get on board and befriend the not-so-humble-anymore hand sanitiser. There are obviously two camps of sanitiser: the usual medical-scented ones and the more luxe versions. With frequent use, the strong alcohol scent can often seem a bit harsh, so we’ve done the legwork for you to find the best hand sanitisers that also smell pretty nice. Reminder: It’s recommended to go for an alcohol-based hand sanitiser that has at least 60% alcohol content, so keep an eye out for th...
