7 Makeup Looks That Are Always Classy
There are endless ways to wear makeup, and that is all part of the joy of both applying it and wearing it. We’ve always got our eyes peeled on the trending makeup looks that crop up on TikTok, as well as the defining makeup trends of the year. Experimentation is half the fun, and trying a new makeup look can bring you out of a beauty rut and reinvigorate your makeup bag once more. However, as trends come and go, there are some classy makeup looks that stand the test of time. Think of the kind of beauty moments that you see time and time again on the red carpet. A red lipstick, for example, transcends every decade without looking dated, and there is hue and texture to suit just about everyone. Not only is this look a great option for the evening, but it also works ...
No Joke—This Is the Most Discussed Accessory Brand in Our Editors’ Group Chat
I’m not ashamed to admit it. When it comes to shoes and handbags, I’m a little bit obsessed. In fact, scratch “little bit.” I’ve actually run out of storage space with the number of heels, boots, sandals, handbags, clutches and totes I’ve amassed over the years. I’m a firm believer that no matter how casual the outfit, a good pair of shoes or a statement bag can elevate an entire look. With that in mind, shoes and handbags are the two things that I never scrimp on (you can find a good white T-shirt almost anywhere, but a bag you’ll use everyday is worth the investment), and I’ve often found shopping for elegant accessories on the high street to be a real challenge. Ask me to find a bag for un...
I Tried On M&S’s Best-Selling Jeans, and I’m Officially a Convert
After road-testing a number of styles in store and at home, I totally understand the hype. From the ultimate sculpting skinny jeans to stylish wide-legs, you might be surprised to know that M&S’s denim section basically does it all. Of course, we all have our own preference when it comes to the ol’ blues—so I’ve highlighted my two personal favourites below that suited my shape and style best (I’m 5’2 and a size 10, by the way.) For me, the Mom Jeans were the perfect throw-on and go everyday style, and the Wide-Leg Jeans felt a little smarter and more trend-led. I know I’ll wear these more into the office with a heeled boot, or out to dinner or a date night. The best thing about the entire M&S denim range, though, is that...
Every Fashion Person’s Favourite Blazer Will Be Just as Cool in 2023
Sometimes less is more. Even in fashion, where many can be easily drawn to ruffles, feathers, sequins and excess in general, at Who What Wear we always seem to go back to the same pared-back staples. It’s the true secret to a capsule wardrobe, I think, to have malleable elevated essentials that an be worn countless ways, to numerous occasions that look universally good when paired with pieces of all different proportions, fabrics and colours. If there’s one brand I always go back to for this, it’s The Frankie Shop. You’ll see from my instalment of our most recent Great Try-On that this isn’t a line, I love everything The Frankie Shop presents–from its cargo pants to its iconic quilted ripstop jacket. But the item I treasure most in my wardrobe? ...
The Experts Have Spoken—These 12 2023 Hair Trends Are the Only Ones That Matter
Blonde is back in a big way for 2023, but this time around, it’s high-maintenance, polished and expensive-looking. “When you think of glamour, you think Hollywood blonde,” says Zoë Irwin, creative director at John Frieda Salons. “We’ve grown up with Hollywood blonde, but now, the association of glamour has shifted. It’s now the ’90s yellow blonde,” she says, explaining that creamy yellow blondes are in big demand right now. “It’s uptown because it is a high-maintenance look, so after a couple of months, a root will appear, so it becomes an entire new type of colour look. To maintain this, you’ll need to be in the salon every three to four weeks,” she adds. Giuseppe Stelitano, creative director at Trevor Sorb...

Redeeming physical NFTs: Easier said than done?
Despite the crypto winter, nonfungible tokens (NFTs) continue to draw interest. This has become apparent as many brands and retailers have started to offer digital NFTs attached to physical products. Known as “phygitals,” these offerings allow real-world products to be tied to digital NFTs. For example, RTFKT — a digital fashion and collectible company — recently launched a project called Cryptokicks iRL. According to sources, RTFKT is creating digitally-designed sneakers backed by a physical product. RTFKT’s official Twitter account recently tweeted that Lace Engine NFT holders will be able to reserve a pair of Cryptokicks iRL, which can then be redeemed for its physical version starting May 1, 2023. 1/ We are allowing all Lace Engine holders to reserve their sneakers in the RTFKT I...
I’m a Low-Maintenance Beauty Editor–This Is How I Style My Bob Haircut
I have tried a lot of haircuts in my time and I can officially tell you I am walking into 2023 knowing which one I suit best—preferably towards an industrial sized fan for dramatic effect. To set the scene, let me fill you in on my hair type. I have fine hair but a lot of it, and I’ve always loved the idea of having Rapunzel-esque locks. But once mine gets past a certain length it starts to look thinner at the ends and generally lacks that enviable oomph. Last year, after painstakingly growing my hair past my shoulders for my wedding so I could have the up-do I wanted, I swiftly booked in for the chop. In preparation, I went back through old pictures and realised that the length my hair is at its absolute prime is when it’s cut into a bob. It looks thicker, it fra...
Is It Just Me, or Does Every Fashion Person Own This Bag?
There’s a simple way of knowing if something has truly attained It status within fashion circles: It’s everywhere. While Hermès Birkins and ’90s Prada Nylon bags continue to be enduring classics people love even decades later, there may be a new bag joining their ranks. Meet Bottega Veneta’s Jodie bag. When Creative Director Daniel Lee transformed the core aesthetic of Bottega Veneta in 2019, he also brought to the Italian house a new lineup of bold accessories. While several of them have gone on to be sellout hits (including those mesh heels and IG-famous clunky rubber rain boots), arguably the most in-demand piece has been the Jodie. Since its arrival in early 2020, the accessory has become a fixture in almost every paparaz...
The Sure-Fire Way to Make Your Winter Outfits Look More Expensive
Is there anything more luxurious looking than a winter white outfit? This neutral hue has the ability to make every ensemble look seriously expensive. It may be cold and dreary out, but your outfit says, “I’m not giving in just yet” and looks undeniably chic. Not only does a winter white outfit look luxe, but it can also be an instant mood lifter—a welcome change to the black and grey hues we’re so used to gravitating toward throughout the cold-weather season. So how do you pull off the look? Steer away from your summer whites when it’s cold out (e.g., lace and linen dresses or eyelet blouses), and instead mix and match plush and cozy cold-weather fabrics and textures such as ribbed knits, shearling, cashmere, and denim. Have fun playing with different shades of wh...
From J.Lo to Jennifer Aniston, These Are the ’90s Hairstyles We’ll Never Forget
Ah, the ’90s. An era defined by MTV, halter-neck tops, and more boy bands than we care to count. Some of our absolute favorite pop culture moments were born out of this decade, and when we think back on it, we can’t help but relish in the wonderfully wild ’90s hairstyles. And with the boom of the Y2K trend that we’ve seen over the last few months, it seems we’re not the only ones who are feeling a little nostalgic. From messy buns to a broad selection of fringes, and, of course, butterfly clips galore, there was something special about the hair trends from this time. The It girls of the era, such as Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, and Gwen Stefani, were serving up enough inspiration to carry us right into the following decade. If you’re as nostalgic ...
