The Under-£100 High-Street Buys That’ll Brighten-Up Your Autumn
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.

If You Hate Fluoro, You’ll Love These Minimalist Sports Brands
I’m a strong believer in finding workout gear you genuinely love and feel good in. Otherwise, how are you going to get the motivation to do the exercise? It’s a rule I stick to. Now, over the past few years, there’s been a real influx of bold, brightly coloured workout gear, and you know what? Not everyone’s on board. If you’re all about the pared-back, minimalist aesthetic out of the gym, you’re probably all about that vibe when you’re on the treadmill too. So if you’re not a fan of fluoro and leopard print, which brands can you turn to for a simple workout look? You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

My Saved Tab on Instagram Is Full of Perfect September Outfits
I’ll be the first to admit that I spend a lot of time on Instagram, especially during the pandemic. While I might have lost the plot to films and TV shows I’m “watching” thanks to endless scrolling, I have something to show for it: great outfit ideas. And in my line of work, that matters. As you might imagine, I see an endless array of outfit combinations, and while there are plenty that aren’t quite right, there are many that stop me in my tracks. Case in point: I’ve followed Amy Julliette Lefévre (who goes by the IG handle @lefevrediary) for a while, and a few weeks ago, I came across the perfect outfit—an oversize blazer, a white T-shirt, jeans and slouchy socks with classic white trainers. The look was pure 2020: modern but ...
These Autumn Knits Are So Good That I Want to Start Wearing Them Now
As we’re spending more time indoors and at home this year, many of us are prioritising comfort and ease when getting dressed, and this will have a significant impact on the trends for autumn and winter 2020. Loungewear will continue to be a growing category this year. However, fashion buyers I have spoken to expect that instead of joggers, hoodies and sweatshirts, there will be a demand for more elevated options, with knitted co-ords and layered separates being key sellers. “Leisurewear will continue to grow but in a modern way from brands such as Les Tien,” says Liane Wiggins, head of womenswear buying at MatchesFashion. The knitted dress is set to be a hero buy for autumn, as designers such as Jil Sander and Jacquemus have created beautiful form...

Netflix’s New ’90s Fashion Documentary Is Required Viewing for Every True Fashion-Lover
Image: Getty Before watching The Remix: Hip Hop x Fashion, I didn’t realise the extent to which Black culture shapes the fashion industry. I knew about logomania and Lil’ Kim’s purple pasty outfit from the VMAs in 1999 — but I didn’t understand how stylists Misa Hylton and Dapper Dan created a ’90s subculture now used by the likes of Kylie Jenner, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, and countless luxury brands to represent what is hot, young, and cool. The Remix: Hip Hop x Fashion introduces us to some of the women behind hip-hop’s most influential style moments. Historians, stylists, designers, publishers, and editors from the US, London, and Milan explore how the ’90s “ghetto fabulous” aesthetic continues to transform contemporary culture —...
The Untold Fashion Story of Lil’ Kim’s Purple Pastie Jumpsuit From the 1999 MTV VMAs
When Lil’ Kim walked onto the MTV Music Video Awards red carpet in 1999, she had no idea that her iconic purple jumpsuit would cause even Diana Ross to absolutely lose it. When the two divas announced the VMA for best hip-hop video alongside Mary J. Blige, Ross just couldn’t resist jiggling Kim’s exposed breast that was covered by a single lilac seashell-shaped pastie over her nipple. If you’ve ever wondered what went into creating one of the most era-defining fashion moments of the ’90s, we spoke with Lil’ Kim’s stylist, Misa Hylton, who shared all the details ahead. “I had no idea that Diana Ross was going to fondle her. That was a nerve-wracking moment,” said Hylton to POPSUGAR. Neither did Kim, who opened up about the incident in a ...
I Just Found the Best Autumn-Ready Buys From M&S, Topshop and H&M
With the end of August in sight, the high street’s autumn edits are dropping thick and fast. The weather might not have turned yet, but we’re already planning ahead and deciding which cold weather staples we’ll be unearthing from the depths of our wardrobes, which items we’ll donate and, finally, if there’s any holes that need to be filled for the season ahead. We have to say, this year’s edit is looking better than ever, and brands have really gone to town on premium-looking, elevated basics that will slide seamlessly into your autumn/winter capsule. All of the below can be mixed-and-matched according to your needs: For example, H&M’s ribbed knitted dress can be dressed-up with knee-high boots, or ...
4 Dress Trends You’re Going to See Everywhere This September
While I personally love to savour every last minute of summer, it has come time to accept that autumn is just around the corner. And although I am not particularly enthused about the idea of cooler weather, I have to admit I am quite excited by the prospect of trying all of the season’s new trends. When it comes to dresses there are a few themes we are already starting to see come through for autumn, whether it be thanks to the A/W20 runways or outfits we’ve spotted on social media. Statement collars and colourful checks are among two of the most popular looks we are already seeing, with brands including Ganni, Baum und Pferdgarten and Stine Goya partaking in the trends. Slim-fitting knitted dresses are also quite prominent this season, which can be traced back to Ja...
I Think This Dress Length Is the Easiest to Wear With Boots
I don’t have a fashion crystal ball, sadly, so I can’t tell you what the state of the world will be come a few weeks time. But, you know what I can tell you? In little under a month, we’re going to be in autumn and that, my friends, is what I like to call midi dress time. For starters, it’s the best length whatever your height. It’s also great for the slightly warmer autumn days, but also a great option for cooler months too. What I’m saying is, and there’s no fighting me on this, the midi dress reigns supreme. Hands down, it’s also the best frock to wear with boots. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

These Are The Product Swaps To Make for 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...
