Meghan Markle’s Date-Night Dress Isn’t Just Beautiful—It’s Loaded With Meaning
It would, however, be remiss of me not to mention that this is the first red carpet appearance the couple have made since the trailer of their new Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan, was released, and with that comes the understanding that all eyes would be on them even more so than usual. We all know that Meghan Markle dresses with purpose; that every item she chooses to wear tells a unique story, so why would this night be any different? While the colour white features regularly Markle’s wardrobe—she’s a classicist at heart—choosing to wear it now could be symbolic. We all know the impact that colours can have on our moods and well-being; individual people will gravitate towards specific shades when, say, they want to feel empowered in a work meeting. In chromo...
41 Perfect Winter Hits From Zara, COS and & Other Stories
At Who What Wear, we firmly believe that every item you buy should be viewed as an investment. It should be something that you love and that excites you, that you return to time and again because of the joy it brings. We also firmly believe that that statement doesn’t just apply to designer pieces. Thanks to the high street, there are plenty of elevated (and affordable) staples out there that are worthy of a place in your wardrobe. There are some hight-street brands that continue to impress us season after season—& Other Stories, COS and Zara, to name a few—and each serve a different purpose. Zara is all about the trend-led pieces mixed with sleek, tailored separates as well as an ample offering of great coats, shoes and earrings. COS is my go-to for when I ne...
I’ve Done The Research—These Are The PJs You Can Wear All Day This Christmas
Ah, Christmas. Is there any other time of year when spending all day in your PJs is socially acceptable? It’s the most wonderful time of the year, after all. If that sounds like something you’re very much planning on doing, then you know your PJs need to be a bit special. I’m not saying you need to have a drawer full of neatly folded, starch-pressed matching pyjama tops and bottoms, but a decent pair that’ll last you all winter is a good idea. Now, there is a range of different prices and some people are more than happy to spend a couple of hundred on this item of clothing. However, for those who are looking for something more budget-friendly, there are chic options on the high street too. In terms of style, right now, classic shirts and matching trousers are everyw...
I’ve Found 38 Unique Gifts From the Coolest Independent Brands
Cathleen Nicol, founder of handbag brand C.Nicol, said last year to Who What Wear, “If people in the UK are considering making a purchase for themselves or for a gift for someone and prefer not to visit stores, I would encourage them to seek out UK independent brands that sell online and can deliver directly to them. More established brands are already acting fast and upping their digital strategies and budgets to reach customers, but for some smaller brands without teams and moveable budgets, it isn’t always possible to do this quickly.” Luckily, if you’re unable to head to a shop before Christmas, you can shop plenty of small brands online via sites like Wolf & Badger and Trouva, which stock hundreds of under-the-radar labels and boutiques. If you want to shop ...

All of Our Editors Would Like a Pair of These Classic Boots for Christmas
I’m a self-confessed footwear fanatic—nothing makes me happier than unboxing a fresh pair. I don’t discriminate, either. Everything from fancy party heels to the most sensible of stompy boots is welcome in my wardrobe. In fact, the latter is becoming an increasingly important category in my footwear repertoire, and no one does it better than Dr. Martens. The brand is never far from the hearts and minds of the style conscious as its heritage styles are nothing short of iconic, and with both fresh iterations and old favourites coming to the fore, the brand has been enjoying something of an ongoing renaissance over the past few years. The collective desire for comfortable, long-lasting, easy pieces to throw on every day of the week—shoes included—puts it ahead of the competition. ...

The Only 8 Jewellery Trends That Matter for 2023
It never fails to surprise me just how much of an impact jewellery can have on your outfits and, indeed, your sense of style. Where jeans and T-shirts and blazers and jumpers might form the staples upon which your ensembles are built, it’s pieces such as shoes and bags and hats and a plethora of other accessories that add personality to your wares. None more so than jewellery. Many of us choose our jewellery carefully and with the utmost consideration, especially when items of the fine variety come into play. Because of this, I think it’s always beneficial to keep abreast of the goings-on in the bijoux world. Won’t you join me as I break down the top jewellery trends of 2023?

These 9 Things Will Always Make You Look Richer Than You Are
You might assume that to look expensive, you need to buy eye-wateringly expensive things, but looking rich isn’t just about flashy logos and jewellery so valuable it must be stored in a safe.

Selena Gomez Just Wore the Classic Totême Dress Every Fashion Person Wants
More often than not these days, dressing for a red carpet event is all about the spectacle, even more so than the quality of the outfit. Mostly made up of over-the-top looks crafted to become viral moments, the practice of understated elegance has become something of a lost art at major events. Luckily, we can always count on Selena Gomez and her stylist Kate Young to err on the side of better, not bigger. Nowhere was this proven more than at Variety‘s 2022 Hitmakers brunch, which took place this weekend in Los Angeles. For the event, which Dua Lipa and H.E.R. also attended, the Only Murders in the Building star chose a midi-length little black dress made of extremely seasonally appropriate velvet and formalised with a sculptural, ruffled hem. Desig...
A French Perfumer Just Told Me How To Smell Luxurious—And 9 Mistakes To Avoid
Who doesn’t love being complimented on their fragrance? It’s a nice feeling, but when you’re choosing a scent, it should be because you like it—even if no one else does. “This installation was originally meant to be called tainted aura,” explains Laurent. “When you receive compliments when you wear a perfume, it’s not really about the scent, it’s your aura,” she says. In other words, it’s about how you wear the scent, not the scent wearing you. “An aura is what you are radiating, the perfume and yourself,” she says. “If you wear a perfume that you really love and brings you joy, then you feel really exceptional and confident it changes how you radiate, it changes your aura. This is what perfume can bring, it’s tota...
