I Handpicked the Coolest Chunky Boots to Invest in This Autumn
However, thanks to Bottega Veneta, the chunky boot has been flourishing over the last 12 months, and it’s gone from being a niche shoe offering to something that is available in a variety of iterations from both high street and designer brands. There’s so much to choose from: You’ve got the ‘extra’ Chelsea boot, which typically comes with dramatic calf-grazing height, classic lace-ups for those craving a ’80s punk vibe, and of course, there’s the don’t-mess-with-me XXL variety, inspired by Prada’s viral Beatle boots. These statement-making (yet no less practical) styles are your cold weather answer to 2020’s velcro sandal: i.e. they’re an easy way to...

No Matter The Year, These Will Always Be the Most Popular Autumn Colours
I’m not sure if this is a universal feeling, but for me, autumn will always be epitomized by the colourful shades of fallen leaves. From earthy natural tones of orange, brown and yellow, there’s something about seeing those colours that immediately makes me think of the season. The same applies to clothes. From a tailored beige coat to navy jeans or a cream button-down shirt, there are certain items of clothing and certain sartorial colour palettes that just exemplify autumn. And Patone, the authority on all things colour, tends to agree. As per their list of important colours for Autumn/Winter 2020, the brand has listed shades of off-white, caramel beige, deep blue and slate gray amongst their top classic colours. Add into that the ever-present shade of burnt o...

Zara Just Dropped the “Coat of Dreams” According to Instagram
“The coat of dreams” is quite the comment to see as you’re scrolling through Instagram in the morning, but that’s one of the first things I spotted as I was doing my initial scroll of the day. The comment in question was referring to an item from, you guessed it, Zara—oversized, double-breasted pastel blue coat. The high-street store has just dropped a new autumnal collection of coats and jackets and there’s no escaping the fact that they’ve once again done a great job of it. I personally own a checked blazer that I’ve had for nearly four years and I still wear it now, so if you’re concerned about longevity, I can tell you these pieces aren’t flash-in-the-pan.

Sorry, Skinny Jeans—This Denim Trend Is Going to be Huge This Autumn
Before we dive in, let’s just remember that in reality, skinny jeans could basically be considered a classic at this point. Sure, people may have varying views on the cut, but they’re more or less timeless. That said, a style on the other end of the denim spectrum continues to increase in popularity—and definitely will thrive come fall. Yep, we’re talking about those loose, straight-leg jeans. More specifically, the silhouettes that are especially relaxed. In fact, we recently highlighted this trending fall 2020 denim cut as showcased on the runways. Well today, we thought we’d dive in a bit deeper with some visual inspiration on how fashion people are wearing loose-fitting jeans. With that in mind, keep scrolling for a range of outfit ideas featuring this top-notch denim silhoue...
The One Place I’m Going For Luxe Autumn Outfits Ideas This Year
As anyone who is an avid Who What Wear reader will know, when it comes to looking for outfit inspiration, one of my top tips is to head to those brands that know what they’re doing when it comes to e-commerce styling. It can be tricky to hunt them down, but when you have a list of your favourites, they’re sure to become a go-to when you’re feeling lost for ideas. Joseph is one of my personal highlights, thanks to its luxe approach to basics and elegant pairings, and I have to say that the brand’s autumn/winter looks are the best I’ve seen in a while. From slouchy jumpers paired with silken colour-match trousers and layered cosy co-ords, to white tees tucked into leather trousers and kn...
One of These Cult Eyeshadow Palettes Is Sold Every 7 Seconds
Urban Decay’s eyeshadow palettes are the stuff of legend. For a brand that was largely known for its rich rainbow of colour (one super-fan even had their car sprayed to match the vibrant hue of her favourite Urban Decay nail polish, the now retired Asphyxia), its 2010 debut of Naked, a 12-shade nude eyeshadow palette, was a gamble; one that certainly paid off. It might have started out as an office brainstorm, but the Naked palette became one the most iconic beauty products of the last decade. Since then, the success of the original palette has spawned an array of iterations; Naked2 (retired), Naked3, Naked Smoky (retired), Naked Basics (retired), Naked2 Basics (my beloved six-shade palette, which I’m buying in bulk incase it also gets retired), Naked Heat, Naked ...
22 Marks and Spencer Basics That Will Carry You Through Autumn and Beyond

Fashion-wise, August is always a tricky time of year, with temperatures remaining balmy, but the cool winds of autumn not far off.

M&S has the solution—its online store is packed-full of trans-seasonal gems that will blend seamlessly into your capsule wardrobe and adapt to your ever-changing fashion needs.

I’m French and Fall Is My Favourite Season for Fashion—Here Are My Picks
We’re constantly inspired by Aïda Sané and her French-girl style account @basicstouch. In fact, she recently shared with us some of the specific basics she wears on repeat to create her signature pared-down vibe. Well, given that she has a breadth of sartorial knowledge, we thought we’d tap her to share some of the autumn items she’s looking forward to wearing. On that note, we thought this would be particularly entertaining given that fall just so happens to be Sané’s favorite season. On a recent IG post this summer, she stated, “The weather looks like fall at the moment, but I’m not complaining since I’m already waiting for coat season.” Curious about the simple autumn pieces she’ll be adding into her rotation ...
I Swear by These Multi-Tasking Makeup Products for a Quick 5-Minute Face
I really do love playing with makeup, but 99% of the time, when it comes to my beauty routine, I want things to be quick and fuss-free. It is because of this desire that my love for products that do it all is ever-growing. If I could have it my way, my morning makeup routine would consist of no more than three products that I can scribble over my face and blend out in seconds. And it seems I’m not alone. According to recent insights from Bobbi Brown, 47% of consumers are currently looking for multi-purpose claims with all beauty searches.
