This One Colour Is Going to Take Over Your Wardrobe in 2021
The message coming through loud and clear from fashion buyers for spring 2021 is that clothing is going to be joyful with a capital J. Sure, we’ve all come to rely upon comfortable, chic basics and neutral colour palettes, enjoying our dalliances with quietly luxurious loungewear and easy-peasy knitted dresses in sombre tones, but the gods of style have decided enough is enough and your wardrobes are overdue a little fun. Designers and brands are delivering said goodness in the form of anything and everything rendered in hot pink. Softer, Millenial-pink tones are still relevant and can enjoy plenty of airtime for seasons to come, but it’s the punchier, highlighter-worthy hues that have been the focus po...
32 Sustainable Christmas Gifts Every Fashion Lover Will Appreciate
In times past, putting together a ‘sustainable gift guide’ was a bit of a slog. It was honestly pretty difficult to find items that were as chic as they were ethical. And don’t even try to factor in affordability in that too—anything that was worth having always meant parting with a lot of cash. Good news, then, as all the below 32 items I’ve found are ideal for the fashion-lover and they just so happen to be sustainable as well. Happily, most of the big online retailers have sustainable sections, making it much easier to find the best stuff around. But, if you’re looking for smaller UK-based brands, I’ve got those in there too. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

Harry Styles Claps Back at Candace Owens’s Ignorant Comments With a Baby-Blue Suit and a Banana
Was there ever a more elegant clapback? Harry Styles responded to Candace Owens‘s ignorant comments about the singer’s gender-fluid Vogue cover with a very cheeky Instagram photo and the caption, “bring back manly men.” The witty image took aim at the conservative pundit’s critique of Styles wearing a Gucci gown on the December 2020 cover of Vogue. Owens shared to Twitter that “there is no society that can survive without strong men”, and the West must “bring back manly men.” In response, Styles shared an image of himself to Instagram wearing a chic Palomo Spain powder-blue suit with a white pleated shirt and a gold cross necklace, while eating a banana. Photographed by Parker Woods, the image is part of an editorial shoot for Variety, ...

This Season’s Biggest Top Trend Comes Rosie HW Approved
Here at Who What Wear, we fancy ourselves as somewhat experts when it comes to spotting microtrends. The kind of looks that are distinguished by something as small as the texture of a fabric or the placement of a button. In the past, we’ve waxed lyrical on microtrends ranging from countryside prints to statement embroidered cardigans, though this winter there seems to be a new, subtler trend on the block. From designer to high-street, sweetheart neckline knits are gaining quite the fashionable fanbase right now with influencers across the globe embracing the flattering silhouette. It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind of detail but manages to instantly elevate a winter knit, bringing a modern, contemporary element to the item. You Deserve to Make Money Even...
These 9 Microtrends Are Going to Be Big News Next Year
Somebody stop me! When it comes to hunting down trends it’s the little quiet ones bubbling up underneath the surface that really pique my interest, and once I start looking, I find it hard to move onto the next task. The big trends are plain to see right now (puffer coats, all-beige and knitted vests are strong) and they’ll undoubtedly rumble on well into 2021. Maybe they’ll even go further, because that’s how slowly these things develop nowadays—gone are the days when season upon season required an all-change klaxon and for closets to be pillaged and restocked less you risk looking outdated. It’s undeniably good and important that our wardrobes are not a revolving door of newness and more a beautifully-tended garde...
I Can’t Stop Thinking About these 8 Trends From The Queen’s Gambit
In my experience, it’s vanishingly rare to come across a truly stylish TV show. A few exceptions come to mind, such as Killing Eve, Gossip Girl and, of course Sex in the City (in its own bonkers, ’90s way), but in many of these examples the aesthetics are focused on individual characters: the Villanelles or the Carries. However, the moment I set eyes upon the swinging ‘60s minis and chic mid-century interiors of The Queen’s Gambit I was truly besotted. Every frame was an artwork in its own right and the interiors and outfits heaven for throwback style enthusiasts such as myself. With her bob-and-fringe haircut and high-waisted trousers, the protagonist Beth Harmon, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, could have easily stepped right off the streets of east London. ...
The Only High-Street Winter Buys You Need To See This Month
Much more than your average December, there’s a definite sense of trepidation in the air as we enter into winter 2020. While it might be tricky to find big things to look forward to, we will always have small pleasures: the comforting warmth of a woolen roll neck or the toasty appeal of fleece-lined slippers. It might be dark and it might be cold, but let us not underestimate the mood-boosting powers of cosy, cold-weather style. Whether you’re looking for a cocooning puffer coat or a pair or sturdy boots, thankfully the high street has delivered on all fronts this season. From Arket’s sellout puffers and Mango’s western-inspired tassels, to COS’s winning coats and Gap’s classic cashmere, scroll down to see and shop the...
I Haven’t Worn a Bra in Years—Here’s What I Wear Instead
When I turned 13 (and finally started to go through puberty), all I wanted was to start wearing a bra. By the time I was 14, all I wanted was to stop wearing a bra. I had quickly learned what most of us already know—that bras are typically uncomfortable, rigid, and cut into your under-boob area. The most relieving part of my day was when I finally got home and could peel off my bra. So I soon decided to stop wearing bras altogether. That brought challenges, however, as I wasn’t yet entirely comfortable with the idea of going braless. So I decided to dip my toes in the water by rotating through several bra alternatives—all of which were certainly more comfortable than my go-to underwire bra. If you, too, want to forgo bras, keep scrolling to find some excellent tops and bra-style...
I Hate to Break it to You But 2021 Is Set to be the Year of the Croc
Fashion has a habit of trolling us with outrageous garments. Crotchless trousers, see-through jeans, ridiculously expensive designer paperclips—all of the aforementioned are very real items sold in the not too distant past. But I’d wager no piece garners as much controversy as the Croc. They are undeniably a divisive topic of conversation and easily the most Marmite shoe of the modern world. I hate to break it to you but they’re making a comeback for 2021, and I know a lot of people aren’t going to be happy about this. When researching this piece, I decided to ask our readers over on the So… Should I Buy This? Facebook group if they love or loathe Crocs and almost unanimously over 60 people replied loathe. Or, as one member so eloquently put it “The ...
If You’re Looking For an Investment Coat, I Would Recommend These 8 Styles
In fashion terms, there is something uniquely potent about the power of an investment buy—an item of clothing that is able to hold its value and beauty and keep us coming back for more, season after season. In a world of micro-trends, next day delivery and more shopping options than one could ever need, the gentle plod of a timeless piece is not to be underestimated. For the weather-beaten Brit, the coat has to be one of the items of clothing that carries the heaviest load in our wardrobes, as it needs to get us through at least 6 months of the year (if not more) and must be warm enough to keep out the chill while still looking the part. Perhaps more so than other bits in our wardrobe, a coat is also an item that is least likely to be swept up in the changing tides...
The Winter Dress That French Girls Have Loved Forever
It wasn’t until I bought a Nanushka jumper dress last year that I realised how incredibly chic they were. I don’t know what was putting me off. Maybe I was just buying ones that were too thin or didn’t fit my body type. I was hesitant about trying what in my mind was a formfitting garment. But lo and behold, my mind has changed. Especially when I realised that jumper dresses are the chic winter dress that French women love to wear. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.
