Black Boots Never Go Out of Style—24 Pairs You’ll Want to Wear Forever
I currently have five pairs of black boots in my rotation; a knee-high pair, three ankle boots with varying heel heights, and some hiker-style lace-ups that have become incredibly useful during the latest cold snap. Typically, boots cost more than other shoe styles as they require considerably more fabric than, say, a pair of slingbacks or loafers, so I always view them as an investment. However, it’s one with no real risk—versatile and incredibly sleek, black boots are the cornerstone of every good outfit I see on Instagram right now. From knee-high to ankle, flat to heeled, it seems fashion people are forgoing the more statement boot trends of the season for failsafe black, just as I have always done. The big question is, with so many pairs out there, which black boots are the...
Dua Lipa Named Met Gala 2023 Co-Chair
Glitter in her eyes, glitter in the sky, Dua Lipa will be shining just the way she likes at this year’s Met Gala. As announced by Vogue on Wednesday (Jan. 18), the 27-year-old pop star has signed on to be one of four 2023 co-chairs for the A-list fashion event that comes around every first Monday in May. Joining the pop star as fellow co-chairs are Penélope Cruz, Michaela Coel and Roger Federer, a lineup that spans “every realm of popular culture,” according to Vogue. The four of them will assist Anna Wintour in planning a night based around this year’s theme — Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty — which pays tribute to the late German fashion designer. The “Levitating” singer posted the news on her Instagram account, writing, “Excited to announce that I am one of the #MetGala 2023 Co-Chairs…...
6 Minimalists Just Shared Their Trend-Proof Wish Lists With Me
If you’re a regular Who What Wear reader then you’ll know that, every month, we invite a selection of our favourite influencers to share their current wish lists with us. You could absolutely accuse me of being biased, but this is always one of my favourite stories to edit; gaining an exclusive insight into the pieces that social media tastemakers are excited about, and informing my own wish list at the same time. That, I believe, is what they call a win-win. And, for January, I decided to switch things up a bit. You’ll have noticed we’re embarking on a great deal of trend analysis, as we do at the start of any new season, breaking down the key looks from the spring/summer 2023 runways, all the way to pinpointing the shoes, jeans and dresses...
I Just Assembled 6 Expensive Looking Ways to Wear Spring’s Biggest Coat Trend
If there is any wardrobe essential capable of effortlessly navigating the trans-seasonal in-between, it has to be the trench coat. Just like the fine knits, jeans and loafers we automatically reach for when its too cold for spring dresses and too mild for faux fur, the trench is one of the easiest items to cleverly layer up (or strip down) when needs be. And yes, I agree, there isn’t necessarily anything new about a classic trench, but don’t be quick to write off this staple–it is anything but boring. Glossy or matte, camel or coloured, even longline or cropped, the trench coat is still as relevant as ever, and the key to its universal appeal and sheer timelessness is its versatility. (Ask any fashion editor, and I promise you, they’ll say the same). ...
Whether You’re a Novice or a Pro, I’ve Compiled the Perfect Ski Capsule for You
I’ve only been skiing a handful of times but, as I have a legitimate fear of being cold, it didn’t take me long to work out exactly what to wear skiing. After my first slope foray, I realised I’d dressed inadequately. Of course, I came prepared with gloves and a bobble hat, waterproof and cosy trousers, but as any first-time skier will tell you, you’re likely to get wet pretty quickly. Even the most experienced skier will have a fall or two and, without the proper attire, you’ll find yourself feeling soggy and miserable before long.

6 Trend-Defying Jeans-and-Shirt Outfits I’ll Never Tire of
Dressing adventurously comes more naturally to some people than others; the print-clashing, colour-blocking, accessory-embracing style gurus on Instagram certainly make it look easy. And while the skill involved in building a bold, busy and inventive look is admirable, I believe the enduring relevance of certain outfit formulas is just as impressive. A select few fail-safe combinations have made it into my weekly roster—that’s right, they’re so good I can’t go seven days without reaching for them. And lately, the reigning outfit among these old reliables has been jeans and a shirt. Yep, just a classic button-down and worn-in blue denim: It’s as simple as that.

8 Surprisingly Ineffective Skincare Products You’ve Been Wasting Your Money On
With thousands of skincare products to choose from (and more and more launching every day), it can become surprisingly easy to loose track of what your skin really needs as you get sucked into buying the latest trending ingredient or viral product. Of course, testing and trying new products is part of the fun of beauty, and at the end of the day what works for you works for you, regardless of what other people think of it. But there comes a point when experimenting with skincare can become overwhelming, especially if you’re the type of person who wants to address their skin concerns and goals as quickly and effectively as possible. In recent years we’ve seen the skincare industry boom. Fuelled by social media trends, it’s been hard to ignore the influx of new products, ingredient...
French Girls Swear By These 13 Brands for Amazing Skin
There’s an undeniable allure about the beauty and style choices of French women, from their chic trademark fringes to their classic wardrobe basics. For me, though, there’s one specific area that I feel they’ve consistently excelled in more than most: skincare. Yes, French girls have seriously amazing skin, and it’s down to the array of hard-working skincare brands that they have access to. Over the years, I’ve lost count of the number of industry-approved makeup removers and celebrity-beloved face oils that have been exported from France. Trust me—if it’s cult skincare products that you’re looking for, then French pharmacy brands are the best place to start. Luckily, many of these historic bra...
