The Entire Who What Wear Team Loves This Secret Zara-Owned Brand
Uterqüe is hardly a new label. Inditex, which owns Zara, created the sister brand and launched it back in 2008. It’s a firm UK fashion-editor favourite (even though it remains a relatively “insider” brand). Like Zara, Uterqüe creates trend-led pieces that look like they belong in a street style gallery. The label was initially focused on accessories, and while this is one of our favourite destinations for beautiful shoes and Instagram-worthy earrings, it’s so much more than that. The leather products are always beautifully designed and cut—they’re the sort of pieces you’ll keep forever. Jackets are also another big win from this brand, with blazers and cropped versions in chic colours that are ideal for work. The most recen...

These Moisturisers Are So Glowy, You Won’t Even Need Any Highlight
Trying to nail the perfect, natural-looking glow is certainly no mean feat. Trust me, I’ve been trying to suss it out for years. It seems some people are just born with a radiant complexion that oozes luminosity and health. In a bid to replicate this glow, I have tried virtually every single highlighting makeup product under the sun, and I am yet to find a formula that doesn’t give the game away somehow. Whether it’s chunky bits of glitter or my lack of ability to apply it to the most natural-looking places, I have been forced to admit defeat when it comes to highlight. So, with highlighters out of the question, I have had to think outside of the box when it comes to upping my glow game. From primers to serums and cleansers to foundations, I have searched high and low f...
The 5 Skincare Changes Experts Say Every 50-Something Should Make
First of all, we want to highlight that by no means are we advocating the concept that anyone has to spend money on new skincare with every birthday. The reality is, although beauty brands would love to have us think that we need a new skincare arsenal every time we hit a new milestone, our skin’s wants and needs remain more or less constant throughout most of our adult lives (with a few tweaks here and there). The issue lies in the fact that all too often, in our younger years, we neglect our skin, leaving us having to deal with the repercussions later on. And sadly, as with most things in life, the best way to deal with skin issues is through prevention. Don’t get us wrong, skin ageing is one of life’s natural processes, but that’s not to say that lifestyle choices don’t have the power t...
This “Boring” Lingerie Style Has Increased in Popularity by 143%
Lingerie trends come and go (trust us—we’ve written about plenty of them), but lingerie staples never die. One of those staple styles, in particular, clearly shows no signs of fading. According to fashion and retail technology company Edited, shapewear is exponentially rising in popularity. Compared to other lingerie styles, it might be considered “boring,” but the number of new shapewear arrivals on the market increased by 143% in 2018, compared to 2017. That’s a lot, folks. Edited noted, “Favoured styles are high-waisted pants [knickers], control slips, and pullovers with long sleeves.” And Drapers reported earlier this year that shapewear is becoming more popular in the UK market, thanks to the Kim Kardashian ef...
I’m a Model Living in Paris—These Are the 15 Items I’m Wearing Throughout Summer
If you’re a regular scroller of the ‘gram, then I’d hazard a guess you have an Insta-crush (or two)—a person whom you just love to “like,” perhaps for their witty humour, irresistibly beautiful pictures, or impeccable personal style. My Insta-crush is the Parisian model Hanna Lhoumeau. I discovered her on Instagram over a year ago when working on a French-girl story and I’ve been smitten over her style (and smile!) ever since. She exudes that insouciant, effortlessly-cool French-girl style yet adheres to no rules—she dresses for herself and adds a dose of colour, fun, and cool to every ensemble. Whether she’s zooming down the streets of Paris on her motorbike in a graphic tee and Levi’s or walking by the River Seine in a puff-sleeve...
Fashion Girls Agree—This Is the Chicest Nail Trend of the Summer
Since salons began to reopen their doors, we’ve seen countless people sporting foil nails; particularly that of the golden variety. The reason we think the trend has become so popular is down to its versatility—you can use the foil to adorn your nails with a thin French tip, or you can go all-out and cover your entire nail in a sheet of molten goodness. The options are endless and can be tailored to suit you, whatever your style may be. To inspire you, we’ve compiled an edit of our favourite foil nails for you to peruse and to show your nail technician at your next appointment. Feel like giving it a go yourself? We’ve also curated a five-piece kit of everything you need re-create the look at home. Scroll below for all-things foil nails. You Deserve to Make Money Even When...
This Unknown Knitwear Brand Has Just Created My Dream Jumper
“Most jumpers that come in are usually in need of some sort of repair. It may be holes that need stitching up or the replacement of a worn collar, so every knit starts with this slow process. Choosing the colour scheme for each jumper is the best bit, I use colours that I think will truly enhance the traditional patterns. Depending on the jumper it takes up to 30 hours to carefully embroider the coloured yarn into the knit. The long process is worth it to see the garment transform.” I was very tempted to opt for the brand’s custom-made service, which allows you pick a particular jumper style and colour scheme, before it’s handmade with your specifications, however I ended up falling for a pre-made multi-coloured knit in shades of blue, red and orange, and ...
I Just Found So Many Expensive-Looking Pieces In Mango’s New Drop
Beloved by editors, influencers and celebrities (hello, Sienna Miller!) alike, Mango will always have a place in our wardrobes, as the high-street brand that creates expensive-looking basics. From button-down shirts to blazers and tailored trousers the Spanish retailer excels in clean lines, crisp tailoring and on-trend wardrobe additions. Given this, we were hardly surprised to learn the brand’s latest collection is full of the affordable yet elevated items we’ve come to expect from Mango. This season the brand has certainly stepped up its outwear offering, with a street style-worthy leather blazer we predict will be a hit amongst the fashion set, as well as a collection of linen blazers that are the perfect transitional item to see you through the e...
7 Sandal Trends We’re Championing This August
Seasons are becoming obsolete in fashion. Call it a response to the climate crisis or the fact that people don’t want to overhaul their wardrobes every six (or even three) months, but on the S/S 20 runways, we saw plenty of coats and items normally reserved for cooler weather. In response to this, Who What Wear’s editor Emma Spedding commented that “throwaway trends are becoming increasingly passé, and we are all looking for clothes that will have a lasting impact.” So where does that leave us with sandal trends for this year, I hear you ask? Well, instead of a dramatic change from the previous year, we’re seeing a continuation of trends that worked for us throughout the whole of spring and summer 2019. Yes, we’re talking “dad” sandals, strap...
This Iconic French Perfume Was Made to Smell Like ‘Solid Gold’—and We Love It
Described as being “what solid gold would smell like if it had a scent”, J’adore is the epitome of opulence; a golden liquid that bestows the skin with a matte gleam and a hedonistic aroma. To create J’adore, Dior enlisted the talents of French master perfumer, Calice Becker; the nose behind some of the industry’s most-loved fragrances. Think Tommy Hilfiger’s Tommy Girl, Marc Jacobs’s Lola, Vera Wang’s Rock Princess, and Calvin Klein’s Secret Obsession. J’adore, however, is perhaps the finest example of her work. What Becker crafted is a scent that is sweet but balmy; floral with an edge. Those with a keen sense of smell will identify fresh mandarin and ylang-ylang in the top; jasmine, orchid, plum, and rose in the heart; and...
We Predict This Unlikely Knit Will Be Autumn’s Biggest Jumper Trend
If you lived through the ’90s the concept of a knitted vest might conjure up images of Chandler Bing sitting at Central Perk cafe drinking an oversized coffee and making sarcastic comments amongst his friends. Though fast-forward almost 30 years and the once-stuffy clothing item now carries some very different connotations. As the cool-girl item of choice for editors and influencers, knitted vests have been given a decidedly fashionable makeover of late. The item was seen on the runways of Dior, Prada and Lacoste during the Autumn/Winter 2020 runway shows, and has appeared in collections by buzzy brands including Ganni. From over-size cable knit styles to patterned iterations with contrast colour trim, these are certainly not the same sweater vests you might remember ...
