5 Trending Colours & Other Stories Is Backing Right Now
It feels like getting up in the morning is just that bit harder in January. The grey mornings and bouts of rain don’t lend themselves to an enthusiastic jump out of bed, or the feeling of being ready for the day. But we think there’s something to be said about dressing for the days you want, not the days you have. As much as we love a black, white and grey uniform, perhaps our clothes can help brighten up these gloomy mornings. And clearly, & Other Stories agrees. While scrolling through their new-in section, as I do pretty much every day, I noticed that & Other Stories has an array of exciting colours that are destined to inject joy into even the rainiest days. It might feel daunting for anyone who sticks to a minimalist regime when dress...
I’m a 49-Year-Old Fashion Expert—13 New Pieces I’m Adding to My Capsule Wardrobe
I’ve worked in fashion for over two decades, and despite a constant flurry of new trends and styles, when it comes to truly dressing for your own wants and needs, what I come back to again and again is a collection of staples that help bring my capsule wardrobe together. Each season, I like to invest in a few considered pieces that will stand the test of time as well as top up my selection of good-quality basics. This January, I’ve crafted an edit of pieces, just for you, made up of items I either already own and love or that I want to invest in this season. From a timeless trench coat to the perfect white tee, these pieces will be my go-to as we transition from winter to spring. You Deserve to Make Mone...
7 Classic and Interesting French Outfits I Can’t Wait to Re-Create
While there are many who still love the traditional, pared-back aesthetic, Instagram proves that it is no longer representative of the average fashion-loving Parisienne, with influencers such as Camille Charrière and Ellie Delphine from Slip Into Style bringing a more experimental approach to the table while still managing to be chic at all times, of course. “We love a statement shoe, an extravagant piece of costume jewellery, a flashy print or one piece that will make heads turn,” says Ellie. To get a better sense of what classic French style looks like in 2023, we scoured the feeds of our favourite Gallic girls to see the outfit formulas they wear on repeat. From cool co-ords to trainers with everything, scroll down to see what it takes to perf...
Compelling Reviews: People Swear These Products Transform Their Flat, Thin Hair
Similar to many people, I wasn’t born with thick and voluminous hair—it’s pretty fine and thin, to say the least. While I love my natural hair, I’m always on the hunt for the best volumizing hair products to give my strands more height and dimension. Now, I’m not trying to look like a popular reality television personality (you know who I’m talking about), but I want my hair to have some lift and simply zhuzh it up just a bit. And similar to most of my shopping needs, I turn to popular retailers like Amazon, Target, and Ulta to look for products that may fit the bill, especially when it comes to haircare. However, not every product lives up to its advertised standards, which is why looking at the reviews is critical to making an informed purchase. To help you find the best...
I Spent 4 Days in Paris—Here’s Everything I Packed and Wore
Most of our plans meant that once we left our hotel in the morning, we wouldn’t be back until it was time to go to bed. As such, my outfits had to work for almost every eventuality: gallery touring, metro hopping and crêpe eating all the way through to cocktail sipping. Though I stuck to flat shoes, my outfits felt elevated enough to continue wearing after dark, which meant I didn’t feel the need or want to pack two looks for each day. Now, with Paris city break bookings at record highs, I thought it might be useful to show you what I packed for my own Channel-hop. Below, I’ve outlined in outfit-build form the looks I chose for my trip, which should give you an idea of how I mixed and matched certain pieces and re-wore others. While my attire might be best suited to warm weather, I’m...
I Tried On This Year’s Biggest Colour Trends—These Are the Ones You Need to See
There’s something about winter dressing that makes us immediately want to retreat to the sanctuary of neutral colours. Black, white and beige are failsafes after all (and anything that saves us time getting ready in the morning means more time in a cosy bed), but there is also a strong case for beating the January blues by refreshing your wardrobe with some colourful brights. I have always loved experimenting with colour, and although I don’t own a little black dress, I do have a red one, a silver one, a yellow one and a camel one that I find just as versatile. I find mood-boosting hues can really put the fun back into dressing up. This season, it would appear designers agree, as along with the frills and florals we e...

8 Simple ’90s Outfits That I’d Still Happily Wear Today
As a child of the ’90s, I’ll admit that there are many trends of that decade that I’d rather leave behind (pencil-thin eyebrows and towering Spice Girls–esque platform sneakers among them). And while I did dabble in some of the era’s more questionable looks—including butterfly clips and plastic chokers—I’m convinced the decade is far chicer than we give it credit for. You only have to look as far as celebrity throwbacks featuring Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Campbell or Jennifer Aniston to see that the most standout looks from the ’90s were often the simplest. From knit dresses to chic silk slips, the outfits that can be categorised as easy and effortless are also the most prominent looks that have stood the test of time. With ...

6 Nail Colours You’re Going to See Everywhere This January
With the New Year and winter now in full swing, you might be feeling like you want to refresh your look. I know I am. But before you go and purchase a new outfit or book an appointment at the hairdresser, why not consider a little boost via a new nail colour? Let me explain. For me, the feeling of sifting through a wide array of nail polish colours, be it at my local nail salon or at a high street drugstore, although fun, can often feel overwhelming. There are endless questions that run through my head in the run-up to a new nail choice from ‘is this nail length laptop friendly?’ to ‘should stick with a trusty hue or go bold?’ And I know I’m not alone. Nevertheless, once the decision-making is done, I realise that really, a new nail colour offers an instantaneous way to lean into sel...

I Test Beauty Products For A Living, But These Are The Ones I Actually Finish
I get sent a lot of products to test for my role, but the truth is, not all of them get a permanent spot in my bathroom or dressing table. New launches are filed away for testing, but if I don’t love it, I’ll soon return to my tried and tested favourites. The ones that do make it into my favourite line-up, however, are so good that I’ll finish them up completely. Ever ounce is squeezed out of the tube or scooped out of a tub. These are the ones I love so much, that I’ll happily part with my own cash and recommend on Who What Wear UK—no gatekeeping here. Once, finished, I usually pop the empty packaging into a box to refer back to and draw upon these great products when I’m writing beauty content. Ahead, I’m digging out the said box of beauty empties to s...
