The Under-£100 High-Street Buys Bringing Us Joy This May
Here at Who What Wear UK, we firmly believe that you don’t need to part with serious cash to get your hands on that perfect mood-lifting look, and with the high street offering up plenty of winning spring buys right now (thank you, Arket, Mango, H&M et al), giving your wardrobe a refresh just got a little bit easier.

Case in point: On our wish lists this month is everything from COS’ chic cami top and H&M’s puff-sleeve dress to Mango’s versatile linen trousers & ASOS’ very ’90s maxi dre...
This Affordable New French Skincare Brand Is Seriously Chic (and Seriously Good)
Comprising seven ranges and a whole host of products within them (from cleansing bars and moisturisers to haircare and fragrance), Typology’s offering might be extensive, but its formulas are pared-back and simple. For example, the Raw range is made up of single-ingredient products that can be used alone or layered, the Ten range consists of products blended with 10 ingredients or fewer to champion only the essentials, and the Woman range is an easy-to-follow, four-serum regimen designed to cater to the skin’s needs at every stage of the menstrual cycle. On a personal note, I can safely say that I’m loving every minute of using Typology. Since adopting a Typology regimen, my skin has been clear, glowing and generally healthy-looking. I haven’t found the products to be overly...

As you have likely heard countless times over the last few weeks, we are living in unprecedented times. Though that does not mean we should cease to seek joy in the small things, like say, for example, an exceptionally beautiful pair of shoes. In times like these, Who What Wear UK seeks to provide some light relief, and if Carrie Bradshaw taught us anything, it is certainly that shoes can spark joy.

Of course, many of the designers below stressed the importance of inves...
Instagram’s Colourful Patchwork Fashion Trend Is a Cool Alternative to Ubiquitous Tie-Dye
Tie-dye is one of the first big fashion trends of summer 2020. And while we love the bold, colourful Links”>DIY style, it’s become so ubiquitous that people social distancing have added tie-dyeing to the at-home activity list — right up there with bread baking, Dalgona coffees, and impossible-to-solve puzzles. If you fancy taking this colourful summer fashion trend in a more alternative direction, then get inspiration from the fresh patchwork pieces taking over Instagram. Patchwork isn’t new to the world of style. Many of us have fond memories of a homemade patchwork blanket or jumper gifted from our nan, and even if you don’t, we all seem to be familiar with this comforting childhood memory.

The Chic Coffee Table Books I’m Adding to My Basket Right Now
I must admit that over the last couple of months, my spending habits have drastically changed. Whereas this time of the year would usually see me buying last-minute flights for a summer holiday, a new swimwear wardrobe and likely every SPF product under the sun, this year I’m rethinking my priorities. The truth is, before I spend money on anything that can’t be deemed a necessity, I mull the potential purchase over for hours, weighing up whether or not, given the current situation, my expenditure is worth it. With international travel, festivals and trips to the lido off the cards for a little while longer, I have found myself reinvesting my annual budget for such things elsewhere. Most specifically, in coffee table books. It sounds a little extravagant and niche, but hear me out...
Scared of Prints? Here’s the Masterclass on How to Wear Them
When it comes to Instagram, I am a repeat offender. I know what I like and tend to stick to the accounts I love the most.

Well, she’s fearless when it comes to trying out new combinations of silhouettes or colours. But where she really shines is her ability to clash prints with bright colours like no one else.

Via government orders, anyone who is able to is being asked to work from home right now, and for many of us, it is a completely new experience.
