Every Fashion Girl’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? ...
39 Zara, H&M and Mango Items That Are Classic, Chic and Premium Looking
And just like that, it’s winter. Gone are the days when I could quickly nip out of the house without a jacket or a considerable amount of knitwear, and it’s time my puffer coat was taken out of storage to be put back into work. The tights are on, the layers are piling up, and I’m 100% here for it all. And while I’m not one to endlessly buy new items every time the weather changes, I do enjoy looking at new-in winter items—a lot. It takes a great deal of research to find the best coat or chicest cold-weather dress. There are so many different jumpers out there that it’s actually overwhelming to know where to begin, and that’s where my time spent scrolling will benefit you. There are a few affordable stores that are embracing all t...
The 11 Key Shoe Trends to Know for 2023
If you ask me, there’s no easier way to dip your toe into a trend than with a pair of shoes (I promise that pun was a happy accident). After all, what else can completely change the tone of your outfit quite like well-chosen footwear? Therein lies their appeal. Jeans can be made fancier, cocktail dresses scaled back, winter wares made summer-worthy, and vice versa. As such, it not only makes sense to stay ahead of the shoe trends for 2023, but if you’re the fashion enthusiast I expect you are, I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of reading about them, too. So, without further ado, scroll on to see the seven shoe trends for 2023 that are destined to take over. How do I know this? From the runways, of course! You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking f...
Makeup Artists Say These 6 Trends Will Be Huge in 2023
While the New Year comes with a bevy of trend forecasts, I’m always most excited to learn about makeup trends. As a true makeup girl through and through, I’m always going to be the first person to try the latest trend, no matter what it is. There’s no doubt that 2022 was a fantastic year for all things makeup. After all, it was the first year we began to shed our masks and reenter society, and with that came many, many makeup looks. People were ready to put products on their faces! We saw the emergence of face gems, ultra-glossy lips, siren eyes, and more. Next year, expect the makeup trends to get even better. The ’90s are back with glamorous goth looks, supermodel-inspired makeup, and extra-lined lips. To get insider intel on this y...
Trust Me—Every Beauty Expert Is Hyped Up About These 16 Perfumes
“My 2023 signature scent will be Jean Paul Gaultier Le Belle Le Parfum eau de Parfum Intense. I believe perfume should be alluring, mysterious, and bewitching. This perfume does just that,” begins Irene Wainman, TikTok fragrance influencer. “This spellbinding perfume smells of amber, vanilla, tonka, and jasmine. It’s long lasting and the initial blast of sweetness muddles down to a lingering heavenly scent. This perfume falls into the same category as my signature scents like Tom Ford’s Rose Prick, Lancome’s La Nuit Tresor, and Tom Ford’s Noir Pour Femme. All of which have spicy, syurpy, incense-like notes. If you’re looking for an office friendly, non offensive perfume, this is not your category, but I would recommend this perfume to anyone wh...
Vivienne Westwood’s Most Memorable Looks on Musicians
Beloved British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood died on Thursday (Dec. 29). She was 81 years old. The style icon’s fashion house shared the news via Twitter, revealing that Westwood died “peacefully and surrounded by her family, in Clapham, South London.” The statement added, “The world needs people like Vivienne to make a change for the better.” The designer rose to prominence in the fashion world in the 1970s, thanks to her anti-establishment punk styles and controversial, androgynous designs. The new wave style icon was also a passionate activist, and frequently channeled issues like climate change into her runway looks. Over the years, Westwood has been the go-to designer for a number of stars, who have turned to her funky, daring collections for their red carpet appearances, m...
I’ve Fallen For These Elevated Basics From H&M, COS and Mango
Working in fashion is both a blessing and a curse. On the plus side, I get to sift through beautiful clothes every day and hunt down the very best buys. But as I’m sure you can imagine, this means that my wish list grows by the hour. It’s more of a fantasy wish list at this point, because I know that in reality I’ll barely make a dent in it. This is why I’m always so keen to share my findings. Even if I can’t have everything, someone out there can enjoy the fruits of my labour. And let’s face it: if navigating those chocked-full new-in pages isn’t a part of your job, the process can be a little overwhelming. With high-street brands in particular, there’s (arguably) too much choice and it can take&n...
These Headline 2023 Fashion Trends Are Already Being Worn By the Coolest Girls
But let’s take it back a step and talk about the trends. Fashion Month told a tale of opposing halves; on the one hand, designers like Christopher Kane and Jil Sander adopted a no-holds-barred approach, adorning their garments with sequins and embellishment, fashioning maximalist silhouettes from high-shine fabrics and generally inviting us to partake in year-round party dressing. But alongside these fun-filled collections, other labels including The Row and Bottega Veneta focused on wardrobe fundamentals. ’90s minimalism is still at play, this time executed in muted tones and with a healthy splash of noughties flair. Think low-slung waistlines and tube tops. Most importantly, the catwalks taught us that we don’t have to pick a side. Even...
This Anti-Legging Trend Is Officially Going Nowhere
There’s no doubt about it: Sweatpants were one of the defining mainstays of 2021. Yep, sweatpant outfits are practically eclipsing other wardrobe basics among the fashion set. They are equal parts comfortable and cool, so it’s easy to see why they’re sticking around in our day-to-day lives. Much like the suiting trends that have emerged recently—where bigger proportions and looser silhouettes have been winning out over body-skimming shapes—athleisure has been growing more relaxed and pajama-like with jogger silhouettes replacing formfitting leggings. So what are the best ways to wear sweatpant outfits? Taking some notes from fashion insiders, there are plenty of chic ways to style them whether worn with structured blazers and s...
9 Things We Regret Wearing to the Airport
Collectively, as a team of editors, we’ve travelled a ton since the start of 2022. Some of us even hop on more than 30 flights in the span of a year, and others have travelled to over 30 countries. All these in-flight hours have amounted to our team perfecting the art of packing (hello, ever heard of the 54321 trick for packing light?) and the art of the airport outfit—trust us, airport style is a thing. But we couldn’t have gained all our expertise without first practising some good old trial and error. Speaking of error, don’t forget to check out the three items that travellers pack but never wear. Take it from us. There is a definitive list of items we’ve deemed as the worst airport clothing. As much as we would love to file those cringe-worthy memories...
I’m a Skin Expert, and These Are the Tweakments That Are Worth Knowing About
Fillers are probably one of the most well-known cosmetic treatments. They’ve been around for decades but have spiked in popularity in the last few years thanks to celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Chrissy Teigen speaking candidly about their experiences with filler. “Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected into the skin to help plump, smooth lines, enhance facial features, restore lost volume, and rejuvenate” explains cosmetic dentist and advanced facial aesthetician Tara Francis. “They can effectively give a fresher appearance to the face, mask bumps in the nose, define jaw lines, plump lips, or give defined cheekbones, amongst other things.” As opposed to cosmetic surgery, filler is a more flexible alternative since its results won’t last forever, and it can easily be re...
From Wide-Leg Styles to Cargos, These Are the Trouser Trends H&M Is Backing
Finding well-fitting trousers at an affordable price feels like an eternal struggle. Personally, I’ve found that if something fits snug around my waist, more often than not it’ll be too tight on my hips. And sizing up means having an awkward gap around my waist. For a long time, I swore them off and stuck to dresses and skirts. But with all the tempting trouser trends that have ignited over the past few seasons, I’ve been forced to reconsider. From puddle pants to low-slung cargos, it feels like there are no rules in the trouser department. And according to trend forecasts, this refreshed wardrobe staple will be just as popular in 2023. This doesn’t scare me, because luckily, my trouser woes are in the...
