The Anti-Skinny Jean Trend That’s Back and Cooler Than Ever
I tend to gravitate towards tailored, polished pieces so you might be surprised to hear about one of my recent fashion obsessions: ripped jeans. I tie it to both the more casual, comfortable wardrobe I’ve been adopting this year, the grunge-inspired fashion unfolding on TikTok, and my general love of all things ‘90s, but there’s no denying that I can’t get enough of the trend. Plus, it’s been everywhere on the fashion scene recently, so I’ve been inspired by all of the cool ways insiders are wearing it right now. Whether worn with the knitted vest trend, chunky loafers, a knit polo, or a structured blazer (as I’ve been styling them), there are plenty of cool ways to wear outfits with ripped denim this season. Ahead, see my favorite ways to style the coolest denim trend of the moment and sc...
We Predict Every Fashion Girl Will Want One of These Bags for Christmas
A firm French girl favourite, Polène has been the under-the-radar buzz word in bags this year. The Parisian brand’s minimal yet elevated aesthetic has unsurprisingly caught the eye of many an uber-chic influencer recently, and we totally get why. As you know, we’re fans of most French exports, but this lesser-known handbag brand is yet another we’ll be adding to our holiday wish lists this year. Searching for the perfect bag can sometimes feel like a herculean task, especially with such a crowded marketplace to sift through. However, if you’re a fashion girl after something extra special that won’t blow your life’s savings, we’d highly recommend checking out Polène’s bestselling ‘Numero Un’ collection. The signature sumptuous envelope style feels pleasingly original whilst still maintain...
After Years of Testing Skincare Routines, This Is the Easiest and Most Effective
Skincare has got seriously complicated. There are too many steps and too many unpronounceable ingredients, and do we really need a 12-step routine? Trust me. I’ve tried it all, and I test a lot of products, but I always go back to a low-maintenance skincare routine, the essential products that I need to keep my complexion looking its best (aka glowing), without the stress and shelf space. While you might need to add in a few more products based on your skin’s needs, like blemish treatments or serums for hyperpigmentation, the staples will never steer you wrong. To find out what steps are an absolute must, I spoke to Bibi Ghalaie, MRCGP, director of British Aesthetics and Glowday practitioner. So if you’re looking to go back to basics and cut out the noise, keep scrolling...
The Olsen Twins Were Way Ahead of the Curve on This Coat Trend
Regarded as some of the chicest women in the world, the Olsen twins are hardly a pair who follow the crowd. Over their years in the spotlight, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have developed their own unique aesthetic, rarely straying from a pared-back capsule wardrobe filled with perfectly tailored trousers, button-down shirts, lengthy gowns, and floor-skimming maxi coats. As a fellow petite woman, I have, for years, analysed and admired the way the twins dress, managing to balance proportions and throw the traditional “petite-girl rule book” completely out the window. And this autumn in particular, I am feeling very inclined to draw from the Olsens’ guide to style by trying a maxi coat of my very own. While a legitimately floor-skimming coat is not the most practical purcha...
Sorry, Skinny Jeans—This Denim Trend Is Going to Be Huge
Before we dive in, let’s just remember that in reality, skinny jeans could basically be considered a classic at this point. Sure, people may have varying views on the cut, but they’re more or less timeless. That said, a style on the other end of the denim spectrum continues to increase in popularity—and definitely will thrive come autumn. Yep, we’re talking about those loose, straight-leg jeans. More specifically, the silhouettes that are especially relaxed. In fact, we recently highlighted this trending autumn 2020 denim cut as showcased on the runways. Well today, we thought we’d dive in a bit deeper with some visual inspiration on how fashion people are wearing loose-fitting jeans. With that in mind, keep scrolling for a range of outfit ideas featuring this top-notch denim silhouette in...
29 Stocking Fillers That Won’t Be Relegated to a Drawer on Boxing Day
When you’re a kid, your stocking is one of the best things about Christmas, but over time, they somewhat lose their appeal. Often stuffed with novelty gifts that will be stuffed to the back of a drawer come December 26th, we by no means want to sound ungrateful. Still, if someone is going to go to the effort (and effort is it) to create a stocking, surely you want it to fill it with small tokens they’ll cherish. That’s where we come in. We’ve curated an edit of incredibly stylish stocking fillers, for both men and women, that will leave the recipient in awe of your shopping skills. And don’t worry, we’ve kept the budget tight—everything you see is £25 or less, with the most frugal find coming in at a mere £4. From next-level chocolate bars and books to ...
These Slippers Feel So Fancy That You’ll Never Want to Wear Shoes Again
This year slippers have had something of a rebrand. As we are spending more time indoors, many of us are upgrading our slippers, swapping our tired fluffy chuck-ons for something that is both comfortable, but also helps to feel like we’ve got dressed each morning. To me, my upgrade was a pair of faux fur tan ballerina slippers from Arket. And like any rebrand, slippers have a new name in 2020—the house shoe. The house shoe is more elevated and beautiful than your average slipper, and so it’s perhaps unsurprising that one of the labels behind this is the Olsen twins’ luxury minimal powerhouse brand, The Row. They have created slippers which come in both velvet and leather, and come with a luxury price tag at £600. The Row isn’t the only label which is creating beaut...
11 Winter Outfits I Have Really Loved This Week
It can be all too easy when temperatures drop to a certain (read: icy) level to lean on the same outfits you have for the past few years, huddling up in grey, navy and black knitwear and the same black ankle boots. While you can’t beat a classic, if you’re looking for some new winter combinations, the likes of Aimee Song, Lucy Williams and more have been wearing a number of practical yet still interesting looks you too will be able to wear on repeat until spring. Many of these key items you’ll already own, such as roll-necks and classic blazers, but you can make your winter wardrobe more 2020 with cream boots, teddy coats and leather trousers. Just because you have to make sensible choices doesn’t mean you have to spend the next six months in boring and unadventurou...
10 Comfy Co-Ords That Are So Easy to Throw On
Once a multicoloured tableaux of beach-bound bloggers, peacocking street stylers and café-dwelling 20-somethings, since the start of lockdown, Instagram has become an altogether more stripped-back place. Logos have been swapped out for bed linens, extroverted accessories packed away and replaced with shearling slippers, and knitted jogging bottoms favoured over look-at-me gowns. What a difference 6 months makes. Who could’ve predicted that the humble tracksuit would become the fashion girl’s hero item of 2020? But, lo and behold, editors and influencers are positively fawning over cashmere co-ords and jersey fabrics. Coming off the back of last year’s fascination with all things minimalist, it’s fair to say nothing about these twin sets is reminiscent of the velour ...
Everything Is Better in Cashmere, and These 25 Items Prove It
When it comes to our wardrobes, one of the things we’ve discovered this year is that everything is better in cashmere. Yes, that is the bougiest sentence I’ve ever written. Okay, in reality, most of us can’t afford to cocoon our lives in this luxurious fabric, but boy, are we going to daydream about it on cold dark winter evenings. For now, we’ll just have to make do with the odd piece here and there, and to be honest, we’re okay with it. Conveniently, there has been an inundation of cashmere on the market this season, but this is far more than your average crew neck: We’re talking dresses, trousers, coats and accessories all in the cosiest fabric you can imagine. More than ever, there’s a great selection to be found on the high street from brands...
5 Stylish Women Just Gave Me Their Interiors Wish Lists
I don’t know about you, but interiors are all I can think about right now. It’s unsurprising, really, considering we’re all spending a lot more time at home so we’re all keen to improve our surroundings. Sales of candles, furniture and DIY goods have gone up in the past year, especially since the beginning of lockdown in March. Like most people, I can find interiors a little overwhelming. Yes, it’s highly personal but I always find looking at other people’s tastes and homes incredibly useful for honing my own living space. So, I did what we love to do at Who What Wear: I decided to ask some of the people I follow on Instagram about what’s on their dream interiors wish lists. All of the five women I spoke to have different tastes when it comes to t...
All the Iconic Princess Diana Outfits We Want to See on The Crown
There’s no doubt that 2020 has been the year of the streaming service, with Netflix, Amazon and iPlayer saving us in the evenings and weekends. But if you’re finding that you’ve finished Tiger King, Normal People, Selling Sunset and Emily in Paris, then we have good news: The Crown is returning and this time it’s with the addition of Princess Diana. Played by Emma Corrin, we already know some of the iconic outfits we’ll get to see, including her wedding dress created by Elizabeth Emanuel. It’s hardly surprising that most of the headlines about the show’s new season focus on the late royal. Princess Diana’s style has been examined endlessly, and the obsession with her clothes shows no sign of slowing down. A few years ago, Off-White‘s S...
