The Key Autumn Pieces You Can Buy Now, Whatever Your Budget
It’s finally here! Our bumper 2020 autumn shopping special, featuring all the styles and silhouettes that you can expect to see hitting the streets (socially distanced of course) in the coming months. If you’ve read our autumn/winter trend report, you’ll know that as an industry, we’re moving toward a more seasonless and timeless approach to design, which transcends traditional notions of trends. “We are certainly seeing designers choosing to showcase a selection of really wearable pieces, more so than other recent seasons,” says Elizabeth von der Goltz, global buying director at Net-a-Porter. “This reflects the customer’s desire to make more considered purchases with sustainability in mind by investing now and wearing fo...
8 Trends That Are the Talk of Copenhagen This August
There is a question mark over fashion weeks for 2020 and whether they will go ahead digitally or in a physical format. Copenhagen Fashion Week took place this week with several small, intimate presentations and shows, which brought with it the return of street style. Each year, Copenhagen Fashion Week is becoming more recognised on the international fashion stage thanks to its leading sustainable initiatives and designers, such as Ganni and Cecilie Bahnsen, who are celebrated for their distinctive aesthetics. The street style scene is also highly influential, as there is a long list of trends that have originated from the Danish capital. Think colourful midi dresses paired with flip-flops and bright, colourful prints worn together. You won’t see editors and buyers wearing an al...
8 Fashion Editors Reveal the Top Items on Their Summer Wish Lists
There are few people who spend as much time contemplating clothes as fashion editors do. After all, it’s packed right there into the job title that a healthy obsession with all things style should, at the very least, be a prerequisite. With a few weeks of summer still left to enjoy, I thought I’d tap into the knowledge of eight fashion experts in order to find out what is still on their wish lists for the remainder of the season. Whether they’re planning ahead by shopping trans-seasonal items that will see them into autumn or living in the moment by investing in key summer necessities, you can guarantee these lists are thoroughly researched and only contain the best. From sandals to sunglasses, one key thread throug...
These Multi-Use Pigment Paints Have Totally Changed the Way I Do My Makeup
Anyone who knows me knows that my makeup skills are seriously lacking. Being a beauty editor means that my knowledge of makeup is astounding. I know about formulas, textures, trends and can talk you through a how-to in no time at all. My own artistic ability, though, is lacking. I couldn’t execute a cut-crease if I tried, and the likes of contouring, baking and colour-correcting are totally lost on me. I like quick, easy-to-use products that are totally foolproof. It’s understandable, therefore, that when I heard about the game-changing new makeup brand Depixym, which offers up a range of pure makeup pigments, I was totally uninterested. They’re designed to be mixed in palettes and used however and wherever one might please, so, frankly, I found the very...
These Are the Summer Sandals Alexa Chung and Sienna Miller Agree On
As a brand, Birkenstock is no stranger to designer collaborations. Over the years, the footwear label has partnered with the likes of Valentino, Rick Owens and more, to create special edition iterations of its instantly-recognizable sandals. Of course, this summer is no different as Birkenstock recently launched a collaboration collection in partnership with buzzy, New York-based brand Proenza Schouler. Taking Birkenstocks’ signature two-strap silhouette, the designers added contrast top-stitching to the sandals and released the footwear in a range of colours including black, white, silver and yellow. Unsurprisingly, the item has already caught the attention of celebrities and influencers worldwide, as the shoe has been worn by Alexa Chung, Sienna Miller an...
I Do All My Skincare at Home But Leave Facials to the Pros—Here’s Why
Well, pretty much whatever you want them to be. Facials are, as the word implies, treatments carried out on your face. Underneath this umbrella comes a host of treatment styles that you can choose from based on your skin’s needs. To fill you in on some of the different types of facials around, I looked to some of my go-to’s. At SknDoctor, a Super Glow Facial (£220) includes a resurfacing treatment, oxygen therapy and microcurrent, aka everything you need to walk out looking more lifted and radiant. Meanwhile, at West Room Aesthetics, The Reset Facial Treatment (£225) is bespoke, but the medical-grade session typically includes a deep cleanse, light peel, masks and serums best suited for your skin. Also on the facial spectrum is Face Gym with ...

Why Facials Are The One Thing My Skincare Routine Is Missing

We’ve Done the Research, and These Are the 36 Sexiest Dresses Elizabeth Hurley’s Ever Worn
When it comes to looking sexy, Links”>Elizabeth Hurley knows how to pull out the big guns: classic smoky eyes, a bouncy blowout, and a fabulous, figure-hugging dress. She’s come a long way since that Versace dress that put her firmly in the public eye, but the sultry look quickly became her trademark, and she’s worn plenty more Versace showstoppers since. It doesn’t matter if it’s long or short, Liz has the perfect figure for a slinky dress, and she is not afraid to show it off (she rocks a bikini like a pro, too). She knows her colours: sometimes she’ll pull out a monochrome classic, but she almost always goes for jewel colours and her trademark hot pink. She knows what she likes, and she knocks it out of the park every single time. Don’t belie...
11 Affordable Items That Will Help Elevate Your Favourite Basics
Here at Who What Wear, we are firm believers that good style shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg.

Crochet Is Quickly Becoming Our Favourite Thing to Wear This Summer
Cast your mind back to the beginning of summer and you might remember the pop-culture phenomenon that was Harry Styles’ Watermelon Sugar video. The clip featured Styles amongst a group of revellers on the beach eating fruit while clad in an array of brightly coloured, vintage-printed swim and resort wear. The video also featured an extensive collection of crochet, much of which was worn by Harry himself. Now, whether or not you like to believe in the power of ‘The Harry Styles Effect’ it seems the popularity of crochet has risen this exponentially this summer following the on-trend video. In fact, according to fashion search engine, Lyst, searches from crochet clothing have risen by 85% since July. While specific searches for crochet dresses and shorts have also seen an ...
