Kate Middleton Always Wears the Trend I’d Happily Ditch My Skinny Jeans For
Kate’s endlessly chic style has inspired plenty of outfits for us over the years, from casual outfits composed of much-loved & Other Stories jeans and Veja trainers, to elegant red carpet gowns. But its the in between of these two extremes of casual and dressed-up that really excites us. Kate’s appearances require the balance of smart and chic, and we’ve noticed that her signature tailored flares are the perfect combination of both. In a couple of styling moves that are now recognisably very HRH, Kate chose to go tonal (a move that makes any outfit simpler), to add in some classic pearl earrings and to ensure that her flared trousers were (probably) tailored just so, in order to sit neatly above her pointed-toe shoes and to only just scrape the gro...
This Is Exactly How Fashion People Will Style Their Leggings in 2023
Trends come and go, but some staples stay relevant with each passing year. And I can say with some confidence that leggings will be just as popular in 2023 as they have been for the past few decades. One thing has changed, though: Leggings are no longer restricted to lazy sofa days and low-impact workouts. Fashion people are becoming pretty adventurous with their styling, wearing simple black leggings with everything from structured blazers to slingback heels. We’ve seen office-appropriate looks, evening outfits and casual everyday ensembles, all centred around this basic item. And the best bit? You probably already own and love a great pair of leggings yourself. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So...
I’m a Stylist—5 Expensive-Looking Outfits I’m Living in This Winter
Unsurprisingly, there are some common threads that run through these outfits—all of which are styling tips I dish out to my clients regularly. Things like, keep it simple: If you want your outfits to look expensive, I always suggest sticking to a colour palette of classic neutrals, and if in doubt opt for tonal outfits in different shades of the same colour. In my opinion, minimalist designs always look the most expensive, even when shopped on the high street, but look out for elevated details like an oversized coat, interesting textures and premium materials—or a sleek pointed toe on a black boot. These kind of things will always add polish to a simple outfit. Knee high boots have been a particular saviour for me recently as you can add them to leggings and your favourite knit ...
I’ve Searched Everywhere—These Are the Most Expensive-Looking Crossbody Bags
Don’t you hate it when your handbag strap keeps slipping off your shoulder? Call me dramatic, but with the busy lives we’re all living, such annoyances can really steal our peace. That’s where cross-body bags come in. Functional and compact, this modern staple holds the power to totally transform your day. Going hands-free means you don’t have to worry about the awkward forearm impressions left by grab-handle designs, or constantly having to transfer your shoulder bag from one side to the other to avoid achy joints. There are so many chic cross-body options in the designer sphere, but if you’re on a budget, you might struggle to find ones free from cheap hardware and shiny faux leather. Luckily, we’ve scoured the intern...
This Classic, Super-Warm Coat Is a Best Seller Year After Year
When winter hits, it’s time to pull out the big guns when it comes to outerwear. Enter, Moncler. The performance brand is renown for its coats (and boots) that’ll protect you from the harshest of elements, and celebrities including Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Dua Lipa are among some of the French label’s most-loyal fans. Founded in 1952 in a little Alpine village in France (called Monestier-de-Clermont), the label started by creating mountaineering gear such as tents, sleeping bags and a hooded cape. Putting the technical warm-weather skills into practice, the brand later launched its first down-padded coat a couple of years later in 1954. And, well, the rest shall we say, is history. Now Moncler is easily one of the most-recognised brands worldwid...

I Asked 7 Influencers to Share What’s On Their 2023 Wish Lists
My first port-of-call when I’m blanking on outfit ideas? Instagram, of course. The sheer volume of fashion-savvy users regularly posting their #OOTDs means I’m guaranteed a wave of inspiration with one quick scroll. Minimum effort, maximum reward. But I don’t just use social media to find looks to recreate. It’s also a handy resource when I need guidance on what’s worth buying. Especially because, at this point, there are certain influencers I follow whose taste is top-notch every time, and I know I can trust their judgement. When I’m in a shopping rut but struggling with some serious gaps in my wardrobe, all I need to do is consult their feeds and suddenly my wish list has reached unruly lengths.

No Joke, Underwear-as-Trousers Is Taking Over Hollywood—4 Celebs Perfecting It
Celebrities are notorious for taking risks with fashion. Events such as the Met Gala or the VMAs offer the perfect excuse to test-drive an adventurous look, but lately, I’ve been noticing celebrities wearing one particularly daring trend with no red carpet in sight. Yep, I’m talking about the underwear-as-trousers look. Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Tessa Thompson, and Bella Hadid have all experimented with the trend and generated plenty of headlines while doing so. All four women have taken different approaches to styling the trend. Tessa Thompson, for instance, wore an oversize Loewe sweater with a trench coat, while Bella Hadid went casual in underwear and Ugg boots. Meanwhile, the sisters Jenner both added tights to their underwear-as-ou...
All Our Editors Rate This £59 Button-Down as the Best Shirt Ever Created
We don’t like to brag, but with years of experience hunting down wish list-worthy buys on the high street behind them, our editors have gotten pretty good at it. And when something really special comes along, it’s only fair to shout about it, right? There are certain criteria an item has to meet to earn the Who What Wear editor-recommended stamp. Generally, the Who What Wear team favours classic pieces, versatile pieces that you can wear year after year and in multiple ways. They should be high quality and fit well, but most importantly they should bring you joy. Think thick wool knitwear, hardwearing denim and real leather (or premium vegan leather) accessories. This time around, it’s a...
I’m a Fashion Expert, and This Is How I Wear Knitted Sets
I’m a magpie for warmth; give me a thick-knit jumper and a water bottle and I’m happy. But while I wait for someone to invent a wearable heated blanket, I’ve made it my mission to hunt down the cosiest combinations for this time of year. So, it isn’t surprising that when I discovered knitted sets, it felt like they had been created especially for me. But it seems the whole of the fashion world has recognised the benefits of these comfy co-ords, because I’ve been spotting them everywhere recently. Not only does double-knit keep you feeling snug (particularly if you opt for a premium material like cashmere), but your outfit will always match. That’s an added bonus for lazy dressers like me. You Deserve...
I’m a Stylist—These Are the Outfit Ideas I Plan on Copying in 2023
And truly, there’s no better time to do this than at the end of a year when we can all be left a little unsure of how to dress from January 1st. As we look ahead to 2023, it can help us relish in our wardrobes again, rediscovering what we already have and what might be good to invest in. I know how easy it is to let your once-exciting buys blend into the back of your wardrobe after a number of wears. But finding new ways to style them together or adding in just one fresh new item can breathe life into them and extend their use for at least another year. That’s the best part about these 17 looks—they probably involve pieces you already have. It’s really all about subtle styling tricks or an unexpected pairing that can instantly modernise your look. A lot of th...
The 19 Best Chunky Loafers and How to Style Them
With track-sole boots becoming virtually ubiquitous last winter, it was only a matter of time before the chunky-sole trend infiltrated other types of footwear. That’s why it hardly came as a surprise when we started seeing statement loafers launch across luxury and high-street brands. And now, it’s clear this trend is going nowhere for 2023. When it comes to designer brands, Prada has been one of the labels at the forefront of this trend. The Italian fashion house launched logo-embellished chunky loafers in 2020, garnering the attention of models and influencers including Elsa Hosk, Pernille Teisbæk and more. (The coveted style has since sold out across multiple platforms.) You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a datin...
