Sorry, Ankle Boots—This Is the Shoe Style Set to Take Over in 2023
For the longest time, I only had eyes for block-heel ankle boots; no other boot style got a look in. However, a few years ago, I invested in the first knee-high boots I’d had since my teens, and they were a game changer. Aside from jeans, I very rarely wear trousers. Nine times out of 10, you’ll catch me wearing a midi dress. And after years of enduring chilly calves and not-quite-right hemlines and boot heights, knee boots swooped in and made every outfit (read: dress) I wore so much chicer and more put-together. It’s almost 2023, and I currently have four pairs of knee-high boots in my footwear rotation: an on-trend chunky pair from M&S, which I bought as soon as I saw them on a colleague; a beige suede option from Sézane, which I invested in hopin...
I’ve Searched Everywhere to Find the 6 Best Blazer-and-Leggings Outfits
If you can’t figure out what to wear right now, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Many of us are feeling the same way, especially since winter is in full swing one minute (hello, snow!) and then the temperatures lift and it’s time to bring strip off the layers again. It’s during these times that I like to turn to my most reliable outfits, which help me look effortlessly chic and feel my best, no matter the weather. When in doubt, simple and effective is my motto, and recently, the look I’ve been reaching for over and over is a classic blazer-and-legging combo. It’s comfy thanks to the leggings and polished thanks to the blazer—a piece that just so happens to also be the perfect winter layer. So really, it’s a win-win, and the best part is that this pairing can be reima...
It’s Official—These Are the Best-Selling Beauty Products of 2022
When I think back on the past 12 months, I believe 2022 has been a year full of defining beauty products and moments. Undoubtedly, social media—and TikTok in particular—is one of the biggest influences on the beauty products that we decided to purchase. Whether it be expensive-smelling perfumes or celebrity-favourite moisturisers filling our For You Pages, 2022 has seen real mix of products, both new and old classics, which have taken pride positions in our makeup bags, dressing tables and bathrooms. After a couple of years of uncertainty during the pandemic, 2022 was the year that we finally had a sense of normality. As such, we made our way back to our beloved nail salons and hairdressers, however, we also became used to tending to our beauty routines and continuing ...

8 Skin Mistakes I’m Determined Not to Make in 2023
I don’t like to put too much stock on giving your skin type a label – there are far too many variables at play, and skin’s behaviour can change based on so many factors, including your lifestyle, location, environment, mediation, and diet. However, it is useful, especially if you are new to skincare, to have a rough idea of what your skin type is. Imagine a scale, with oily skin at one end and dry at the other. Everyone sits somewhere on that scale, and the closer you are to the middle, the more balanced and healthy your skin is. If your skin is more on the oily side, you’re probably quite prone to breakouts, you notice your skin looks shiny (especially in the T-zone) and you probably also have enlarged pores and blackheads. If your skin is more dry, then your symptoms will be things...
Marks & Spencer’s Sale Is So Good—21 Pieces I Have My Eye On
I’ll be honest, for a while I relied on Marks & Spencer for my bras and pyjamas without really taking the time to browse its fashion offering. But in recent years, M&S has impressed me in style department and, in turn, become one of my go-to shops for pretty much everything. And right now, their best pieces are on sale. Marks & Spencer has carved out a place within the high-street thanks to great quality, long-lasting staples pieces as well as on-trend standouts. Whether you’re on the hunt for designer-looking boots, affordable cashmere jumpers or even a sleek party dresses, M&S covers all bases. For me, standing at 5’2″, finding trousers that don’t need a hefty hemming can be a hard feat, but ...
I’m a Fashion Expert—Here Are 30 Elevated Pieces Worth Buying This Winter
Speaking of layers—they are, of course, the key to chic cold-weather dressing. And if you invest in good classic layering items like polo necks, blazers, jeans, coats and boots you’ll be able to rewear them in different ways year after year, and through other seasons separately as well. That’s why it’s often in winter that I end up investing the most in key buys because I have confidence I’ll get my wear out of them over the years. This year, I’m especially taken by all the gorgeous wool coats around (I told you I’m a woman obsessed), and it might be finally time for me to invest in Totême’s newly restocked fringed jacket before it sells out again. If it’s not that, then it will certainly be one of Raey’s oversized numbers, which I contin...

Honestly, I Cringe Every Time I See These Shoes at the Airport
I recently took a couple of warm-weather trips to Mexico and then Los Angeles, both of which offer a significant beach culture. But in my opinion, that doesn’t make it a good idea to consistently wear the controversial sandal style that I kept seeing on people’s feet during my travels. If you’re thinking flip-flops, we’re on the same page. What kills me is that there are so many shoe styles out there that are just as easy and comfortable as flip-flops but are significantly more protective of your feet. I wanted to know how flip-flops rank on the airport practicality spectrum, so I reached out to the experts themselves and chatted to TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein and Delta travel agent Stacey Townsend. Farbstein pointed out that while you c...
10 Timeless Items French Women Have in Their Winter Wardrobes
Upon looking at these snaps, I saw a pattern begin to emerge. I realised that almost all of the French women I follow own the same core capsule wardrobe of fashion essentials. Of course, I am all too aware that this uniform may not apply to everyone in a country, but the women I’m particularly interested in all subscribe to a look I love. “French women invest in timeless pieces over trends,” confirms Marissa Cox, a French style expert and friend of Who What Wear who now resides in Paris. “Wearability is integral to a French woman’s closet, as she doesn’t tend to overdress. She looks for pieces that can be dressed up or down.” So which French fashion essentials do the country’s best dressers rely upon to ensure they look chic at all ...
I Just Spent a Week in London—11 Items Everyone Was Wearing That I Now Need Too
One of my all-time favourite things to do living in New York City is people-watch. It’s for the interactions sometimes, but mostly, it’s for the outfits. There’s simply no better way to know which trends, brands, and specific items are making waves in a particular fashion city than to spy on the locals and note the sartorial moments you spot most. Knowing that, when I was in London for a week earlier this month, I spent the majority of the trip eyeing up the looks I passed on the street. From my perch at tiny bistro tables outside of Notting Hill cafés, on benches in Hyde Park, and atop pub stools in Shoreditch, I had the perfect view for discovering every last fashion item worn by London’s finest dressers. For my detaile...
Jeans, Flats and Great Coats—Katie Holmes’s Winter Capsule Is Perfection
It’s not like Katie Holmes didn’t look good before, but—and I won’t be the first one to say this—she has seriously turned her fashion game up in recent years. Whether it’s literally walking down the street in New York wearing a pair of skinny leather trousers and a cable knit jumper or ramping up the sass factor in a Saint Laurent minidress and polka-dot tights, she has wowed in the style stakes at every opportunity. And it was only recently she made a case for the dress over jeans Y2K look, and love it or hate it, Katie Holmes is definitely being experimental when it comes to her outfits. However, it’s not all bodycon dresses and skintight pants, she’s also stayed true to her classic style. One outfit she’s recently been spotted in was a pai...
