So Long Jeans—I’m Now Wearing These Casual Trousers Instead
Part sportswear and part utility with a healthy dash of All Saints energy (the girl group, not the brand), this laidback style is one of the more surprising pieces to have reappeared in my Instagram feed lately, but as with any trend that champions comfort first, I’m here for it. With styles ranging from classic khaki to tonal tan, a wealth of cargo trousers have appeared on the high street almost overnight, but the brand to truly give cargo trousers the luxe makeover they so desperately needed is none other than The Frankie Shop. As soon as the now sold-out Jenna Cargo Pants dropped a couple of months ago, they were considered an influencer must-have. And for those a little sceptical about the ubiquitous shade of milkshake pink, the brand also has nine styles of cargo trouser curren...
I’m a Stylist— Here Are 26 Expensive-Looking Classics I’d Recommend From Arket
A good wardrobe is nothing without a solid base of classic capsule pieces. You know the ones—the items you pull out and incorporate into your outfits most days. The simple yet far-from-boring staples you’d be lost without. It could be the perfect white T-shirt, a pair of jeans or your favourite blazer that goes with everything. As a stylist, I’ve spent the best part of a decade searching for the perfect versions of these items to use in photo shoots or to recommend to all of my clients as well as to fill my own collection with. And surprisingly enough, the one place I always turn to isn’t the most expensive designer; it’s actually on the high street. In my opinion, Arket classics win every time, and I constantly find myself suggesting the brand when people as...

This Zara Leather Jacket Is Just Like Laura Harrier’s But Costs £3500 Less
If I’ve learned anything in this year, it’s to trust that whatever Laura Harrier wears will become a viral sensation, be it a leopard-print bikini or a Saint Laurent baseball cap. And while the end of the year is fast approaching, her reign as one of Hollywood’s best dressed celebrities appears to just be getting started, with her latest look being among her best outfits yet. Earlier this week, the Mike star was seen leaving lunch at the hyper-exclusive San Vicente Bungalows in West Hollywood, where she wore the shearling-trimmed leather bomber jacket from Khaite that every fashion person—or at least, everyone I know—is doing everything in their power to get their hands on. With her covetable outerwear, Harrier added a sl...

These 5 Key Coat Trends Will Dominate Your 2023 Wardrobe
In the UK, a coat is basically an essential for say, 80% of the year. And this is why it’s important to find ‘the one’. You know, the style that you actually won’t mind covering up your carefully considered outfits with. So, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to decipher the coat trends worth wearing for the new year and beyond.

30 H&M, Arket and & Other Stories Winter Buys That Are Actually Worth Your Money
I’m finally prepared to admit it now–I’m actually really enjoying winter. After being dragged kicking and screaming out of summer, and tolerating the “too warm, too cold” transitional period that was autumn, I’ve actually come around to wrapping up in cosy layers and heading out into the bracing cold. Despite it being generally quite dark and a brief flirtation with snow, British winters tend to be quite consistent, and the key to mastering winter dressing is all in the preparation (I have a coat for rain, a couple of coats for icy winds and a totally impractical coat for dressier events). But assembling the perfect cold-weather wardrobe doesn’t have to cost the earth, and in fact the high street is one of the best places to stock up...
6 Winter Outfits That Are Guaranteed to Make You Look Rich
Here at Who What Wear, we love to hunt down those special, expensive-looking pieces that no one would guess are actually from the high street. And we’re pretty good at it, if we do say so ourselves. Our editors are highly skilled at finding these noteworthy gems, and spend plenty of time searching the new-in pages of some of our favourite brands to bring you the very best edit of said pieces. When it comes to spotting a high-street piece that looks and feels premium, there are a few pointers we swear by. Yes, the fabric composition is important: Natural fibres like wool and cotton will always stand the test of time, look more polished and are better for the planet when they are responsibly sourced and processed. But taking care of your cl...
Celebs Are Obsessed With Birkin Bangs—Here’s How to Get (and Style) Them
There are only a few things I know to be undeniably true. First, the best hair days tend to happen when you have no plans and you’re not going to be leaving the house (naturally). Second, a breakout is sure to appear on the eve of a big event, like a birthday, job interview, graduation, or wedding (it’s just the way it is). Third, French-girl beauty will never go out of style (this is an absolute). The latter has been proven time and time again. Whether it’s the popularity of French beauty brands or trending French skincare secrets, everyone knows there’s a classic and timeless aspect to it. And that’s certainly true when it comes to French hairstyles, like Birkin bangs. Popularised by French icon Jane Birkin in the ’60s, these...
It’s Official—These Were H&M’s 13 Most Popular Items in 2022
When it comes to shopping on the high street, H&M is arguably one of the most reliable retailers to turn to. Yes, there’s still a long way to go to making the brand a more sustainable, responsible place to shop (as with all fast fashion brands). But if you’re out there looking for stylish basics and design-led pieces with an affordable price tag to wear on repeat, it’s tough to beat. In fact, H&M is one of the best-selling brands on Who What Wear UK. No doubt because, like us, you love an expensive-looking high street find. But also because you appreciate a wardrobe staple as much as us—and that’s what H&M does best. This much became clear when we did a little digging into H&M’s best-selling items of 2022 and we discovered that thousands (literally thousands) of you in...
A Leather Blazer Is One of the Chicest Things You Can Own in 2023
I may have been born at the tail end of the ’80s, but I still consider myself to be a ’90s child. I wore floral leggings with oversize T-shirts, tied my hair with a rainbow of scrunchies, and donned my light-up trainers with pride. Of course, perhaps with the exception of the scrunchie, I would never wear such items now, but it seems there are a plethora of cool ’90s trends I missed out on because of my age. And the most notable has to be the leather blazer. Practically the uniform of the ’90s A-list elite—think Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston and Cindy Crawford—the leather blazer was easily the coolest cover-up of the decade. Most commonly worn with slip dresses, vintage denim, or a pair of tiny rectangle sunglasses, it now appears the throw-on is making a comeba...
I’m a Shopping Specialist—These Are the 10 Pairs of It Boots On My Radar
Totême’s mid-heel elasticated ankle boots are also a favourite, becoming one of this season’s worthy investment buys for those looking for a smarter everyday ankle boot that can be worn with trousers and dresses alike. First released in black leather and suede, due to their continued popularity they are now available in a tan suede and brown leather moc-croc, all of which you can shop below. Across the high street COS, Massimo Dutti and Mango have been the go-tos for premium leather footwear at a reasonable price. As always, COS doesn’t disappoint when it comes to modern yet classic styles in neutral hues and Mango has plenty of timeless pairs in its repertoire this winter. Meanwhile, LK Bennett’s gold croc-effect knee-highs were fina...
