50 of the Best New-In Pieces From Mango, COS, & Other Stories and Arket
COS’s star buys include the ultimate leather trench coat and a simple black tube dress that ticks off one of the season’s most popular trends and manages to feel grown-up and timeless. And their offering of perfectly tailored trousers only continues to grow and improve. Meanwhile, over at Arket, basics are the pieces to zone in on first—think elevated outerwear and classic knits, as well as some incredible footwear that could so easily pass for designer. Its arsenal exceeds basics, though, and you’ll also find the odd flash of silver (which is back for AW22) and pops of colour not to miss. Fabric is something I’m most intrigued by, and all of these brands continue to appease the more conscious shoppers among us, at least w...
Experts Share Their Top Migraine-Safe Perfumes Plus the Ones to Avoid
Both Pichon and Mastenbroek agree that lighter scents are best for migraine sufferers. “Fragrances that have been created with a calming effect in mind, or that are using principles of aromatherapy, are likely to be soothing to the nose and not stimulate the receptors,” explains Mastenbroek. “The most sensible advice I would give is to be stick to citrus (orange, lemon, grapefruit, lemongrass), herbs (lavender, chamomile, rosemary, thyme) and mint notes (peppermint and spearmint). Based on aromatherapy knowledge we have, we can safely say these will not have an adverse effect on the majority of people including migraine sufferers.” As a migraine sufferer I know that paying a visit to a fragrance counter can be overwhelming, time-consuming, and straight up risky. However I’ve spent enough y...
5 Colour Trends COS Is Backing This Winter
On my fortnightly mooch around my local COS store, I was pleasantly surprised. Not that I usually aren’t, as it’s definitely one of my most-loved high street stores, but I was pleased to see so much colour. After all, winter in renowned for favouring darker hues. As I walked around, I saw pops of purple that reminded me of ‘the purple one’ in a box of Quality Street (yes Xmas chocs are firmly on my mind), and then, I spotted a shade I really wasn’t expecting—lime green. Updating everything from cosy knitwear, midi dresses and bucket hats, I have to say, I’m quite the fan. And although I’ve fully embraced pink in all its glory this year, I glided right past these items in favour of the fresh new colours. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you ...
7 Affordable Classics to Make All Your Winter Outfits Better
There’s nothing like finding a really expensive-looking piece of clothing and discovering it’s actually affordable, is there? As editors, we do a lot of scrolling for research for our Who What Wear articles, and we’re used to seeing beautiful outfits from influencers and fashion people. But so often, they’re made up of high-end designer pieces that most of us would probably have to spend a long time saving up for. We’re all for investing in quality over quantity, but when we do come across a chic, timeless outfit that turns out to be from the high street, you can imagine our excitement. In fact, we Who What Wear editors actually have a dedicated Slack channel to discuss the best high street pieces we see, either on influencers or on ...
I’m Lazy But Want to Look Good—These 12 Party Outfits Are Perfect
In my head, my party season look is a cross between Liberace, Celine Dion and Diana Ross—iconic, entertainer, full-on extra ensembles that leave everyone else in the shade. In reality, that kind of vibe doesn’t work for the Christmas do in the canteen or down the pub with mates, so the outfits need to be dialled down accordingly. Yes, there will still be sparkle but it might come in the slightly more understated form of a sequined skirt with a grey cashmere knit or a pair of decorative earrings set against a simple, minimalistic bustier and jeans combination. As much as I dream of swooping in wearing a feather cape and bejewelled suit with sky-high heels, the truth is you’ll probably find me in a classic party dress with tights, modestly mid-height heels and a red lip...

I’m a Fashion Editor Based in NYC—I See These Winter Looks at Least Once a Day
Winter in New York is no walk in the park. I know this from experience, firstly because I grew up in Chicago and know what a brutal winter looks (and feels) like, and secondly because I’ve experienced my fair share in New York over the last five years. Really, the only way to get through it is to dress the part, which I’ve only been able to do because I study those around me who all seem to do it with ease. New York City is full of savvy dressers who always make looking good appear easy even in the worst weather situations, whether it’s 37ºC in August and the humidity reads 80% or a -5ºC one that, according to AccuWeather, feels like -15ºC. New Yorkers are simply built different, and it shows when you look ...

6 Accessory Trends That Are in for 2023
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; accessories are magical things. There’s no point in debating the subject; I won’t be told otherwise. What else has the power to elevate a basic jeans-and-t-shirt outfit like a piece of jewellery or, indeed, boasts the ability to make a dress work for day or night like a well-chosen shoe. Accessories unlock more outfit potential in a way clothes simply cannot and, in my book, that makes them magic. Assuming we’re in agreement, I thought it might be of interest to talk you through the biggest accessory trends 2023 has to offer, as seen on the spring/summer runways. The new designer collections are always the first place I look to for accessory inspiration for the year ahead and, there’s a distinct ...
