H&M’s Latest Designer Collaboration Is Filled With Timeless Wardrobe Staples
From Giambattista Valli to Johanna Ortiz, H&M has created quite the reputation for itself when it comes to buzzy designer collaborations. Yesterday, the brand released its latest collab, this time teaming up with Italian label Giuliva Heritage to create a collection of timeless autumnal wardrobe staples. Made to be worn season after season, the collection features expert tailoring and ranges from wide-leg trousers to roll-neck knits, pleated skirts and satin dresses. Of course, it was only a matter of time before the style set embraced the designs, as we’ve already spotted Monikh Dale, Eni Ilori and Style Idealist Karina Marriot in the collection. The range was also created with sustainability in mind, as elements of the designs...
These Are the Product Swaps to Make in Your Autumn Skincare Routine
Everyone’s favourite season is fast approaching and while it’s serving as an unwelcome reminder of just how fast this year is going, there’s some good news. It’s time for autumn skincare (cue applause), and no this isn’t a ploy to get you to spend more money on your face. I’ve always swapped out my skincare whenever I sense that the temperature is about to decline. There’s nothing like a metaphorical slap in the face courtesy of a gust of wind, to remind me that my light moisturiser isn’t going to cut it. It’s not just a personal preference either, as rethinking your skincare routine for autumn has some serious skin benefits. First of all, with the sun exposure, sweat, inflammation and dehydration from travelling we pro...
This Is The Only Hair Styling 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 ...
These Sandals Had an 800-Person Waiting List, and They’ve Finally Dropped
Back in June high street shoe saviour, Dune, released what has to be one of the coolest affordable sandals we’ve seen all year. Chunky, textured and oh-so comfy, they quickly made the rounds on Instagram thanks to their high-end finish. I was very lucky to be sent a pair by the brand just before they sold out, and I’ve literally worn them every day this summer, and plan to cling onto them until winter hits. While they’ve been out of stock for months now, and have accrued an 800-strong waiting list, we can happily say that the black iterations are finally back in stock. Hurrah! You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power. Get to meet Beauti...
6 Uncomplicated Autumn Trends That Essentially Style Themselves
I’m personally not that big of a fan of “tricky trends.” You know, those trends that just seem complicated—whether it’s that they don’t pair easily with go-to basics like jeans or appear to be uncomfortable and not so versatile. If you’re with me, what’s coming your way could be particularly intriguing to you. Yep, fall 2020 actually hosts a variety of simple trends that are actually quite easy to style. Essentially, the looks in question could inherently just style themselves and make a fashion-forward statement with minimal effort aside from potentially having to mix in a few basics. I’m talking about items like eye-catching knit dresses, directional tailoring, and so on. Keep scrolling to check out these six uncomplicated fall trends, complete with a bit of vis...
7 Ways to Wear a Blazer With Jeans This Autumn
When it comes to fail-safe outfit formulas, you just can’t beat a blazer and jeans. It’s a simple, chic wardrobe game-changer that never lets us down. You can also wear this combination on repeat, and many of the girls we watch closely for their style moves have been relying on very little else for the early days of autumn. To ensure you’re never out of styling options, today we’re taking tips from the impeccably dressed style set and serving you 7 fresh outfit ideas. From grey blazers worn with dark-wash denim for dressier occasions to beige blazers worn with vintage wash jeans and sneakers for the weekend (and simple styling updates in between), here are several ways to style this timeless combination. It’s an outfit combination we’ll never tire of ...
From Colours to Cuts, These Are the Hair Trends That Matter Most This Autumn
Talking about the onset of fall can be fairly stressful when you’re still enjoying the dog days of summer and the lovely relishes that come with it: socially distanced s’more assemblage, daylight at 8 p.m., and sweat-inducing temps at 8 a.m. Alas, fight though we did, it’s officially time to start thinking about fall and how our skincare routine, wardrobe, nail game, and hair color can be adapted as we prepare to ring in the new season. (If you’re so inclined, of course.) ICYMI, we already published a pretty extensive guide to 2020 fall hair color, but we thought we’d round it out with an expert-led side serving of haircut, hairstyling, and hair accessory inspiration. Below, we’re recapping the fall color trends we discussed earlier this s...
My 4 Favourite Places for Buying Secondhand Clothes Online
From setting up alerts for the (old) Celine boots that I just can’t track down anywhere to sifting through some really fantastic designer vintage pieces, Vestiaire Collective not only holds a huge volume of authenticated stock, but it also knows how to make things smoother and faster for a busy girl. As there are so many pieces online that it’s a good idea to have some parameters of what you’re looking for. Even if it’s that you know you want a coat in a particular colour in a set size, setting filters will help you trawl through the product offering. I use it to pinpoint the items I missed out on the first time around, such as the aforementioned Celine boots. However, the site also has dresses, jewellery and outerwear. Because items are shot by sellers from their o...
The Only High Street Autumn Buys You Need To See This Season
It’s officially September, which means one thing: Autumn is on its way. Luckily the high street has started to deliver on the new season front, with plenty of pieces that adhere to 2020’s ‘less-is-more’ mantra. If you’ve read our autumn/winter trend guide, you’ll know that the traditional concept of ‘trends’ is feeling less and less fitting in the contemporary fashion landscape, and it’s timeless silhouettes and classic colourways that are coming to the fore. I would imagine that many of you will already have pieces in your wardrobe which match up with one or more of the new season picks below, and therein lies the beauty of the season ahead: It’s all about investing in well-thought-through buys that you ...
4 Autumn Shoe Styles the Fashion Set Is Already Embracing
The way we view footwear has had a complete overhaul throughout this year. After spending months house-bound wearing a rotation of either slippers or trainers, the idea of dressing up and experimenting with new shoes feels more appealing than ever. While I once dreaded having to wear heels or agonised over which boots deserved my attention, after spending the better part of the last 6 months indoors, the concept of choosing a shoe seems like an exhilarating new adventure. Thankfully, autumn is on its way, which means there are a few new trends to focus on. From chain embellishments to Mary-Jane silhouettes, contrast soles to very high, knee highs, autumn footwear trends range from revamped classics to innovative new styles. And with the A/W 20 runways as inspiration, these ...
Cate Blanchett Just Stepped Out in the Perfect Tailored Autumn Outfit
Cate has got the balance just right: she looks pulled together yet not ostentatious, trend-led yet not clad in designer It-buys. With a pair of white tailored trousers styled with a classic white shirt, black roll neck and navy blazer, it has definite nautical vibes (well, she is standing on a pier, after all) and is ideal for this tricky in-between season period. We have a feeling that there’ll be plenty more where this came from, so keep checking up on Who What Wear to see the latest Venice Film Festival looks. But, for now, scroll down to see Cate Blanchett‘s winning outfit and shop similar items. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Sorry, Summer—We’re a Bit Distracted by These 5 Autumn Colour Trends
It might only be the first week of September and, yes, summer wares may still line the shelves of our favourite high street stores, but we can’t help but notice that the new-in sections are slowly but surely being infiltrated by autumn pieces—from trans-seasonal jackets to sturdy boots—and we’re not going to lie, we’re pretty excited about it. There are a few colours that inevitably dominate every single autumn, however, there are some new additions that are set to make a splash this September. While last year everyone lost it over browns and khakis, this year it’s more about colour binaries: think lime green rubbing shoulders with burnt orange, and pale beige put into relief by fashion editor black (yes we...
