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

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 which you can choose from based on your skin’s needs.

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. If we’re honest, some of the most fashion-savvy people we’ve encountered in our lives have been the most cost-conscious, as having to be more careful with your budget can often result in greater creativity and originality.  Luckily, in the UK, we have a wide range of affordable offerings available to us, and brands are getting smarter about designing pieces that aren’t going to fall out of favour the following season.

Add to this the fact that the minimalist aesthetic has ruled over the past 12 mon...

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 ...

8 Practical Items I’ve Been Wearing for the Past 5 Months

Since the pandemic began we’ve seen our lives change in so many ways. This goes without saying. One of the more minor but still noteworthy ways in which it’s changed is what we wear on a day-to-day basis. Even though I’ve worked from home for several years now, I’ve seen a shift in my wardrobe over the past few months. Specifically, it’s become less trend-driven and more streamlined and comfort-focused (for the time being, at least). My basics are in constant rotation, and when I do shop these days, more often than not its for something I could feasibly wear out in the world and at home. Sometimes I miss carrying handbags to places besides quick runs to the supermarket, or putting on a new pair of heels, or even wearing 100% cotton jeans, but practicality is p...

Halle Berry Just Re-Created Her Iconic Orange Bikini Look 18 Years Later

Even though it was 18 years ago, it’s hard to forget Halle Berry’s turn as Bond girl Jinx in 2002’s Die Another Day (which happens to be the same year she won her Oscar for Monster’s Ball). And one of the most unforgettable scenes was the one in the orange bikini. You know the one—Berry walked down the beach in a string bikini and holster and everyone lost their minds. If “breaking the internet” was a thing back then, she would’ve.  So why are we bringing this up nearly two decades later? Well, Berry just graced our Instagram feeds with a very similar photo of her walking down the beach in a very similar belted orange bikini. And just like that, we want an orange bikini of our own. If that’s the case for you too, keep scrolling to shop our fa...

This Dress Brand Only Launched During Lockdown and Already Has a Royal Fan

Welcome to our newest editorial initiative, Who What Wear Spotlight, where we’ll be using our editorial platform, social following, and ad inventory to turn the spotlight on small businesses that need our support now more than ever. Each week, we’ll be highlighting a new fashion or beauty company. If you own a small brand and would like to be considered for the program, please apply here. This year has been challenging for the most established of fashion brands, and so small emerging labels have understandably taken a big hit, hence why we established our Spotlight series. The brands that launched during lockdown faced a situation they could have never imagined when planning for their launch, however, Tacita Brown decided to go ahead and open her clothing brand Cro-Che in the m...

Everyone’s Favourite Basic Sandals Have Just Been Given a Fashion Makeover

Similar to “dad” sandals, Birkenstocks and Crocs, flip-flops are one of the previously sidelined summer shoes that have experienced a high-fashion makeover over the last year. Long disregarded by fashion-lovers due to their old school aesthetic or casual appearance, one-by-one these sandal styles have been welcomed in by the world’s most stylish and in turn seen a dramatic rise to social-media fame. While they never had the overtly uncool associations of velcro sandals (oh, how times have changed), for a long time, flip-flops were not considered a shoe worthy of any context other than the beach. That is, until the likes of The Row had their say, creating an oh-so-elegant iteration in luxe leather. Of course, leather sandals are hardly a revelation, however, this 2020 tren...
