These Flat Shoes Are So Pretty They Might Get You Out of Your Slippers
It’s official—flat shoes are cool, and I wear them around the clock. Not only are they more comfortable than any of the shoes I wore during my early twenties, but I also trip less. (Note: it’s imperative to pay attention when walking in five-inch stilettos and not get distracted looking at dogs.) And you know, I also feel much more stylish, too. Ballet, loafers, espadrilles, sandals, slingbacks—whatever your flavour of flat footwear is, I’ve found the chicest pairs out there. Scroll below to see the best flat shoes on offer right now.

21 Outfits I Have Really Loved This Week
While this certainly isn’t the way any of us expected spring 2020 to unfold, I take comfort in the fact that, together, we’re all making significant efforts to work from home where we are able to and remain indoors. But that doesn’t mean you need to succumb to wearing your pyjamas 24/7. I recommend you certainly make the most of it, but once you’re keen to start wearing proper clothes again, turn your attention back to this article. I’ve been keeping a close eye on what some of my favourite influencers have been wearing while in their homes over the last week, and they’re dressing with the same chic aplomb I’ve come to expect—albeit sans shoes much of the time. And the best part is you likely already own the items you need to r...
30 Celebs and Fashion Girls Who Are Making Me Want to Chop Off All My Hair
When it comes to my hair, I tend to fluctuate between two lengths: just above my shoulder or just above my boobs (both technical terms). Yet there always comes a time with both lengths when I start to feel like I want to either chop it all off and start again or indulge my inner Rapunzel and grow it out super long. Right about now, I’m at the chopping-it-all-off stage, mainly down to the fact that I’m seeing cool, short hairstyles pretty much everywhere I look and I know I can’t get it right now. Yes, short hair is definitely trending, and I want in. However, unless I’m actually prepared to cut it myself (I’m not), for now, I think it’s best I simply garner some expert advice on potential styles. “Short hairstyles are on-trend at the mome...
We Just Tried on the Bra That Claims to Be One-Size-Fits-All
A few weeks ago, I was kindly sent a newly released underwear set from Sloggi, a brand that, in all honesty, I hadn’t really come across before. What really made me sit up and pay attention, however, was the fact that the bra and pants were being branded as one-size-fits-all. Seriously. Coming in a range of colourways, the bra is a crop-top style with a deep-V and thick shoulder straps, while the underwear comes in two fits: high-waisted and hipster. Is it really possible to make something as important as underwear fit all body shapes? I was highly dubious and worried this might be a poorly judged brand message, so was keen to find out… You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Katie Holmes’s Stylist Gave Me a FaceTime Makeover
Celebrity stylist Allison Bornstein is someone I always look to for great fashion advice. Not only does she dress her clients, such as Katie Holmes, in seriously covetable outfits, but she also makes it a point to make cool style accessible to everyone. In my opinion, she is exactly the type of person we need in fashion right now. Her Instagram (@allisonbornstein6) is an amazing resource for fashion ideas, as she uses the platform to bring her expertise to everyone, not just her A-list clientele. There, she breaks down exactly how to wear wardrobe staples and trends at all price points. Right now, she’s offering FaceTime consultations that walk people through their personal styling questions, meaning face-to-face time with an industry expert to guide ...
This French Grandmother Just Landed the Coolest Modelling Gig in Fashion
The lockdown has provided endless challenges for businesses around the world, however, it has been amazing to see which brands have quickly innovated and thought of ways to carry on working while still closely following the restrictions. As photoshoots have now been cancelled, one of the main hurdles for fashion brands is how they can photograph their upcoming collections. Models are shooting campaigns by themselves on their sofas and photographers are transforming front rooms into makeshift studios. One of the best solutions I’ve seen is Jacquemus’ latest images, where the designer, Simon Porte Jacquemus, photographed his grandmother Liline among the spring blossom in France in his designs. It’s the perfect snapshot for summer 2020 when family is top of mind fo...
6 Epic Celebrity Throwback Outfits I’d Happily Wear Today
Given the state of the world right now, I have found myself longing for simpler times. Between watching reruns of old Friends episodes and perusing vintage celebrity images on Instagram, it seems I have a serious case of nineties nostalgia. Though my new obsession with all things old has not just become a way to pass the time, it’s also proven to be quite a fruitful exercise in outfit inspiration. Between the faded denim, clean tailoring and simple silhouettes, many of the chic celebrity looks I’ve come across from the decade would not feel out of place over 20 years later. In fact, several of the outfits feel so modern, I’d happy re-wear them today if I could. Jennifer Aniston sported a floral maxi to an event in 1997, which looks eerily similar to m...
The Best Face Masks for Every Single Skin Concern
If the last few weeks have taught us anything about beauty, it’s that a face mask really is the ultimate form of self-care. With a bit more free time on our hands, I think it’s safe to say we’re all masking more than ever. In fact, our Who What Wear editors’ instant chat has seen talk of masks increase tenfold. Where as previously we’d reach for a face mask once in a blue moon, when our skin was looking particular dismal, now we’ve found ourselves asking if there is such a thing as too much masking. And the answer is, kinda, sorta. You see, face masks shouldn’t be used flippantly. They contain some of the most hardworking and potent ingredients around, meaning they have the ability to make or break your complexion. If you ask me, it is all too often because of this blas...
17 Women Who Prove It’s Seriously Chic to Let Your Hair Go Grey Naturally
If you have spent the best part of your life worrying about the inevitable arrival of grey hairs, you’re not alone. In fact, since 2018, Pinterest searches for “going grey” have increased by 879%—and we totally get it. After all, going grey requires a whole bunch of hair decisions to be made. While full-colour transformations and highlights prove popular options for those going grey, the maintenance and upkeep can be very expensive. On top of the financial aspect of covering grey hairs comes the pressure to keep them hidden. For many years, there has been an element of shame that comes alongside going grey. So much so that grey hair is cited as the number one hair concern for women in the UK. At the moment, with salons still closed for the time being, it seems people far and wide are at a ...

9 Summer Microtrends That Will Spice Up Your Outfits
“Trend” has become a dirty word of late, as we all endeavour to slow down the cyclical nature of fashion and try to shop more mindfully, avoiding anything that will date quickly. It’s a much needed change that should be high on the agenda of every fashion office in the world and is certainly impacting how I approach my own work every day. As a fashion editor, I feel a sense of responsibility about how I choose to write about trends and shopping, and certainly don’t want to give the impression that you should reinvent your wardrobe or style every six months. I promise “over” and “ditch” are words you’ll never see in my stories, and I’ll only feature items or styling tricks I really believe are worth investing in. Th...
This Is Without a Doubt My Most Complimented Perfume Ever
However, it didn’t arrive. After just one spritz and one sniff, I was basically drowning myself in the stuff. Salty but sweet, light and fresh but musky and comforting all at the same time. Skin smells just as you’d expect a perfume named “Skin” to smell. Like just-bathed skin, spraying it is like enveloping yourself in freshly washed, crisp linen, without those all-too-common artificial notes reminiscent of laundry detergent and talc. And although it was love at first sniff, as I sprayed myself with it every morning, a few weeks into wearing it daily, I began to get used to how beautifully subtle it is. It wasn’t until the third person stopped me in the office to compliment my scent that I was reminded of its wonderfulness. “Why do you always so smell so fresh and clean?” a colleague...
