The Pre-Loved Homeware Buys That Will Up Your Interiors Game
Last week we published a story about the hugely exciting and innovative world of online vintage shopping. The response from our readers was amazing, and we were so encouraged to see that there is clearly an appetite for exploring new, and more sustainable, ways of consuming fashion. As a life-long vintage fan, this was particularly exciting for me, and I intend to take the opportunity as Who What Wear’s Shopping Editor to spread the message as widely as I can. This week, I wanted to focus on vintage homeware. Just like second-hand fashion, there is a thriving pre-loved market operating online, thanks to independent sellers adapting to digital demands and online re-sale sites such as Etsy. With many of us spending more time at home, i...
5 Haircuts That Will Trick People Into Thinking You Have 3 Times More Hair
Ever since I became aware of my hair back in middle school when I finally retired my beloved slick soccer ponytail, I’ve lamented my fine, thin locks. And after becoming a beauty editor, it’s become my mission to find out which haircuts are best for feigning the look of fuller, thicker hair. Here’s what I’ve learned: it’s all about the optical illusions your stylist creates in addition to how you care for and maintain your cut at home. “If you have fine or thin hair, the haircut you choose is super important,” explains celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson. “In general, blunter lines are always better, and if you do opt for layers, keep them minimal. Bobs, lobs, long hair that’s roughly one length, and pixies are great for this type of ...

This Australian Brand Has Gained A Very Fashionable Following
I love Australian brands. As an Aussie Fashion Editor, that much basically comes with the territory. Though, if you’re after my professional opinion, resort wear and summer staples are where our designers really shine. As a country with a warm climate, Australians spend much of their time in summer attire, so by default we know what we’re talking about when it comes to summer fashion. I’m always particularly proud when I see our brands garner worldwide attention, and whether it be an influencer in France or Denmark, it’s always great to see an Aussie brand gaining a fashionable following internationally. Lately, I’ve noticed influencers dotted across the globe, sporting Sydney-based label Posse. The brand specialises in summer-ready staples crafted ...
I Think This Is the Coolest Brand of 2020—and It Has High-Street Prices
With a brand name like House of Sunny, it’s perhaps no surprise that the aesthetic is joyful and perfect for holidays and heatwaves. The London-based brand isn’t actually that new—it was founded back in 2011—however over the past two years it has really found its groove. This summer there are two items in particular that are transitioning the label from an industry secret into more of a household name—the Daybreak cardi and the Hockney dress. Like any cult items, they are currently sold out, with much anticipation surround another release. This week Kendall Jenner, an already known fan of the brand, shared a picture of her wearing the Hockney—a green knitted slip dress with lilypad swirls inspired by the artwork of David Hockney. This isn’t the only item in...
This is Officially My Favourite Way To Wear a Dress
I know it’s not really fair to write-off a whole fashion category, but I’ve never really been much of a dress person. I have a fair selection in my wardrobe, so I’m not totally averse, however I know some people who live in them and love nothing more than the swishy feel of a flowing skirt. Yet, I have recently identified the importance of shoe pairings when it comes to wearing a dress, and there is one particular combination I’ve fallen for in 2020 that may just see me in dresses for the rest of the year (although let’s not get ahead of ourselves). I recently purchased the most beautiful pair of cowboy boots from Depop, in no small part inspired by a smock-dress-and-boot combo Harriet Stewart re...
This Cult Lipstick Has Been a Best-Seller Since 1971
At some point though, I forgot about Black Honey, likely moving on to the matte formulations that began to dominate the lipstick market. I think I wore MAC’s Ruby Woo for four years straight. Fast-forward to May of this year, however, when, in an attempt to keep myself busy while being housebound, I took to cleaning out my beauty archives—products I’d packaged up during my 2019 move from London to Edinburgh that hadn’t seen the light of day since. After sorting through two plastic boxes, I finally reached the base of the third where nestled in the lip edge surrounding the base, was a long, silver wand; a forgotten tube of Black Honey. Instantly overcome with overwhelming nostalgia, I immediately slicked it across my lips. Of course, this wasn’t the exact B...
The Instagram Outfits That Are Inspiring Our August Wardrobes
It’s hard to believe August is almost here. It seems like just yesterday we were enjoying those first few picnics in the park as the weather started to warm up. Though with the final summer month’s imminent arrival, it’s time to kick back and enjoy the last vestiges of the season (sorry, but this is England, after all) and embrace everything that your warm-weather wardrobe has to offer. Clad yourself in gingham, forgo jackets for as long as possible, wear your favourite floral dresses on rotation and accessorise yourself in all the basket bags and slingback shoes you can get your hands on. You might be bored of them now, but we promise come October, you’ll be dreaming of these balmy heatwave days. If you’re in need of some inspiration for the coming ...
7 Easy Wedding Guest Outfit Ideas That Will Work Every Time
At the beginning of the year, we were all planning our wedding guest outfits for various upcoming nuptials. Of course, things have changed quite dramatically since then, with the global pandemic putting a stop to many people’s weddings. While plenty of couples have postponed until 2021, from August 1 small weddings, with dinner for no more than 30 people, are allowed to take place. Which means that the wedding guest outfit is back on. To help you in your quest to be the coolest guest, push aside the stereotypical ideas about wedding attire and instead think about the below wedding outfit suggestions. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with falling back on a midi dress (particularly if you pair it with metallic shoes), but you can also opt for a spring-ready suit or a polka-d...
Gigi Hadid’s Hair Stylist Just Told Me How She Creates Her Beachy Waves
I go on about this a lot, but nothing gets me down more than the fact that my hair is lifeless and lacking texture. I can spend up to two hours tonging it and misting it with several different sprays and still not manage to achieve the effortlessly tousled look I so crave. At the end of the whole ordeal I’m left with one of two hair looks: matted, flat and greasy as a result of the excess product in there, or a Dolly Parton-esque bouffant. If you ask me, achieving beachy lengths that look effortless is one of my hardest beauty feats. And, while I’m still eagerly anticipating my post-lockdown hair cut, it’s safe to say that I am looking for all of the tips to style out my rather ridiculously long hair right now. Luckily for me, I recently got the chance to sit...
Rihanna Just Launched Fenty Skin—Here’s Everything You Need to Know
The singer’s expansion into skincare may not come as a huge surprise to some hardcore fans out there. Rumours have been circulating since Rihanna applied for a trademark early last year which gave us the first clues as to what might be involved. The application cited “medicated and non-medicated skincare, soap, body care and personal care products…. and related accessories such as kits, tools and applicators”. But now the wait is finally over. Rihanna said in a post to the brand’s Instagram page, “I’ve been working on @fentyskin for over two years, perfecting formulas and creating packaging that is kind to our planet!! Formulas that work, and work well with makeup!!! Everything starts with the foundation that is your skin and we all know how obsessed I am with beautiful, healthy skin- so ...
