“As in 2021 and 2022, dopamine dressing looks like it’s here to stay”, says Downes.“After the Barbiecore trend sparked last year, the popularity of hot pink isn’t showing any signs of slowing down across all fashion sectors including underwear. In 2022, we launched a number of pink collections and these are proving to be some of our best-sellers. Our focus is on fit, premium materials and products that are built to last, so ensuring colours are seasonless is really important to us. We’ve added Burnt Orange, French Navy, Merlot, Olive and Storm Grey to our collections, all shades which we likely wouldn’t have seen a few years ago and we’ll continue to add more colour throughout 2023.” “In addition, we’re continuing to introduce elements of texture across our collections...
If we looked through your wardrobe on any given day what would we find? You would see automatically see a lot of coats, shirts, blazers and jeans. I love easy basics like neutrals and jersey as they make such a great foundation for all my outfits. But, I’m also slowly building my collection of statement and investment pieces to add points of interest. This year I’ve been much better at shopping smart with purchases, and some items are sat on my wish list for months before I buy them because any item I commit to, it’s because I genuinely love it and it works well with everything I already have in my wardrobe. At Who What Wear we’re big advocates of the hard-working capsule wardrobe too. So, if we go back to what inspires your look, who are t...
With the colder weather here (and sticking around), you’ve probably spent some time thinking about cosy outfit formulas over the last few weeks. You know, the looks that will keep us warm and looking chic? And one look we’ve learned to fall back on for this is dresses with tights and boots. The simple combination makes for an easy way to take your warm-weather pieces into a new season altogether. With the addition of tights and boots, even the floatiest slip can work under the right circumstances. So today, we’re highlighting a number of cool and fresh ways to wear your favourite dresses with tights and boots. Some work for seriously chilly temps while others are better reserved for slightly warmer wintery weather. Still, no mat...
If that weren’t impressive enough, the coat comes from Rachel Stevens’s fashion capsule with high-street hero, Oasis. While it’s real leather, which naturally commands a higher cost, it does have a lower price tag than other iterations currently on the market. Her trousers? They’re also genuine leather but come from another high-street favourite, Arket. In true Who What Wear fashion, Stevens can’t resist the temptation of investing in a cult designer piece to round off her look; cue The Row‘s zip-front boots that have been on my wish list for a solid 24 months. There’s something so elevated about this outfit, but when you break it down, it’s incredibly easy to emulate. Scroll on to shop Rachel Stevens’s exact pieces below, then continue...
It’s high time we talked about thighs. That is with regard to skirts with thigh-high slits, of course. This subtly sexy style was recently spotted on Victoria Beckham and Catherine Zeta-Jones, demonstrating that a miniskirt isn’t the only way to show off a great pair of legs. While Beckham wore a brown suede pencil skirt with chain details that matched her bag—both from the designer’s eponymous label—Zeta-Jones paired her vibrant red leather skirt by Hervé Léger with matching red shoes and a black cape. As demonstrated by these two outfits, a thigh-high slit on a skirt that hits below the knee can be a versatile wardrobe piece for women of all ages. But if you’re not into baring that much skin, the style also works perfectly well ...
Whether I’m dressing up for an event or pulling on a lazy weekend outfit, one thing I never compromise on is accessories, and in particular–bags. After all, a good bag can make even the most basic outfit feel a little more special (and it’s the one thing we’re guaranteed to use every day). But, when it comes to spotting the new bag trends to invest in, it can take a little bit of research. Unlike ready-to-wear, bag trends can come and go quickly, remember Jacquemus’s teeny, tiny Le Chiquito? Of course you do, but there chances are, there isn’t one hiding in the bag of your wardrobe. Or, perhaps the first pictures of Carrie Bradshaw’s JW Anderson Pigeon clutch? Maybe not a trend, but undoubtedly an important moment of discussion as to what ...
The British High Street is a treasure trove for everything from affordable leather handbags to stylish footwear and catwalk-inspired outerwear to statement dresses, all minus a designer price tag. And whilst shopping online may be the most hassle-free way to update your wardrobe, when it comes to finding those extra-special, premium-looking pieces, it’s much easier to head to the shops and search for these gems in the flesh. At this time of year, shopping IRL can feel like an assault course, especially as plenty of us make those last-minute Christmas gift dashes. So, not only have I done the legwork for you and tried on the best pieces from some of our go-to high-street brands, but I have also shared my top tips on what to look out for when yo...
The frosty mornings and bouts of snow can be a nuisance at times, but the upside to this is that we get to wrap ourselves up in fabulous knitwear for the foreseeable. Brits have long relied on M&S for its excellent knitwear selection and this year, it’s better than ever, with plenty of beautiful jumpers and cardigans to choose from. M&S is particularly known for its cashmere crew-necks and roll-necks, and it’s added some amazing colours to its classic arsenal, including bright tangerine, ombre styles and hot pink. When it comes to classic knitwear styles, you really can’t beat a chunky cable-knit jumper. Or, if you’re looking for a statement piece, something slightly festive or just a simple jumper you can rely on every day, we think there will be ...
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Yes it’s the holidays, but it’s also the annual sale season! Although I have no interest in promoting the frivolous purchasing of pieces you don’t need, shopping during sale time is as good as time as any, better in fact, to invest in your capsule wardrobe. Whether it’s a last minute party dress for New Year’s Eve, office-appropriate tailoring or a silk white shirt that can really be worn so many ways–I always look to this time of year as a period to invest in wardrobe essentials. One of my go-to brands for this has always been Reiss. Consistently offering expensive-looking items season upon season, you can always count on Reiss to provide everything from a working wardrobe or wedding g...
“Many of our clients are opting for colour for their engagement rings, which great to see, with some going for completely untraditional looks. We are finding customers are mixing and matching, seeking alternative options; choosing a mix of coloured gemstones and different cuts that work together in harmony within one ring which, perhaps, wouldn’t initially be your first thought for an engagement ring,” says Laura Kay, creative director of Tomfoolery London. “More than ever, clients are searching for something different to traditional engagement rings, with the brief being for a piece that will stand out from the crowd. Coloured stones do this perfectly. I have found that the main request from my clients is for vibrant coloured stones rather than diamonds,” enligh...
If you were to look through the Who What Wear group chat, there are a few things you would almost certainly see. In among the breakdown of celebrity looks, memes and White Lotus discussion, we also love to talk the brands that are particularly having “a moment”. Viral success can come from a few things, usually a runway hit, award nod, TikTok feature or street style approval, but manage to tick off at least one and you’ll inevitably wind up creating a stir that we can’t help but get excited about. It’s important to note though, that when we talk about “buzzy” brands it doesn’t mean names that are necessarily new, or the high-end designers with the financial backing to afford a big marketing campaign. O...
