How to Up Your Party-Dressing Game With Just 4 Expensive-Looking Buys
With summer a distant memory and a crisp autumn giving way to a chilly winter, the only thing we’re thinking about more than what to add to our Christmas list is what we’re going to wear to the host of events steadily filling our calendars. Between all of the dinners, drinks, parties and events, there are plenty of opportunities to dress up and head out in the next few months, and nothing beats the winter blues like an exciting new outfit inspired by all of the sparkle and celebration of the festive period. When it comes to party dressing, there are always the fail-safe options (like the little black dress or the camisole top), but making occasionwear feel fresh and new is a different challenge in itself. So if, like us, you’re tired of the same old tropes (and yes, we do...
PSA:The Perfect Zara Coat We’ve Been Thinking About All Year Is Back In Stock
I already know what you’re thinking, and yes, this winter is shaping up to be a particularly cold one. I happen to love dressing for cold weather (nothing beats hunkering down and hibernating in cosy layers of cashmere and wool), but when you do inevitably have to leave the house, it can be tricky finding “the one”, that elusive winter coat that looks good and stays warm. Well, that is until now. Zara have got a track record for designing some of the most covetable and expensive-looking pieces on the high street, and although sought after pieces can sell out as quickly as they land, fortunately for us the bestsellers can often be reinstated the following year, and one of the biggest hits from last winter is back–the double faced short jacket, aka...
Florence Pugh Oozes Elegance in a See-Through White Dress with Wet-Look Hair
Florence Pugh’s love of naked dresses is not waning, as she demonstrated at the Academy’s 13th Governors Awards on 19 Nov. Wearing a stunning Victoria Beckham white gown with strategically placed panels, the “Don’t Worry Darling” star proved her style credentials yet again. Styled by Rebecca Corbin Murray, the actor wowed in the look straight from Beckham’s spring/summer 2023 collection. Featuring a cowl neck with two cream panels across the chest and the hips that were joined by see-through sections covered in metallic polka dots, the bias cut gown draped effortlessly to the floor finishing in a bridal-like train. Gold chain fringing at the back added extra detail that perfectly complimented the Tiffany & Co statement gold tassel necklace she added....
5 Popular Shoe Trends the Fashion Crowd Is Wearing With Dresses
As a shoe lover, I happen to think that shoes are what really make a dress. Anyone can just throw on a cute dress but how you style it is what really makes or breaks it. We’re in a bit of an anything-goes place in fashion, but that doesn’t mean that certain shoes don’t just look cooler than others with dresses, and the fashion crowd is very much aware of this. I combed through Instagram for some great examples of the shoes I’ve been seeing the fashion crowd wear over and over with all types of dresses this season, and there are some fun ones. You might already own most of these trends but just in case, I found some excellent options for you to shop and pair with your own dresses. (And if you want to shop for expensive-looking dresses as well, Emily Dawes h...
Anyone With Big Boobs Needs to Shop These 10 Perfect Brands
Being blessed with a large bust isn’t a problem. In fact, it can be brilliant. That is, however, until you go shopping. As someone with a D-cup (so the smaller end of the full-chested spectrum), trying to find tops, dresses and coats that fit around my upper half can be a bit of a nightmare, especially as I’m also a size 10.

I Live in Dresses, and These Are the 5 Trends I’ll Wear Well Into 2023
You only need to have a quick scan of a tube platform or any shopping centre to see that midi dresses have become an easy uniform for British women. They are a reliable outfit in one and make you feel polished, even on those mornings when you only have five minutes to get ready. In winter, they can be a little trickier to style, however, because you have to think about the length of your coat, whether it goes with a couple of layers of knitwear and what boots you can wear with said dress. There are five dress trends this winter that make all these styling questions a little easier, and you’re going to see a lot of this month and beyond. If comfort is what you are into, then look no further than the jumper dress, which now comes in so many stylish iterations, dispelling the ...
I’m a Dress Expert—These Are the 9 Best New-In Styles
If there’s one thing I know, it’s dresses. My wardrobe is full of them, and I wear them 99.9% of the time. I’ve always struggled with casual dressing (long-time Who What Wear readers will have repeatedly read about my ongoing struggle with denim—sorry to be a bore!), so easy, good-looking frocks are my most-trusted fashion staple. I have affordable dresses that I wear each and every week. I have special, more expensive versions that come out for important occasions or big meetings. I have those in-between, mid-priced options that bridge the gap between casual and fancy days. I own styles that are ultra summery and best for heatwaves and holiday packing, but I’ve also got a fair number of clever, trans-seasonal styles that can work layered up and with tights in winte...
23 Winter Fragrances That Everyone Will Compliment You on
If (like me) you’re the type of person who considers a fragrance wardrobe switch-up just as essential as a regular wardrobe switch-up, now’s the time when you’ll most likely be putting aside summer’s bright, zesty florals in favour of deeper, cosier winter perfumes. Cold winter days call for warm, rich scents such as Maison Margiela’s By the Fireplace or & Other Stories’ Midnight Encore, which lend themselves to the season of glamorous parties, brisk walks and cosy dinners. I naturally gravitate to warm, woody notes like cedarwood, musk, pepper and amber all year round, so it will come as no surprise to anyone that winter is my favourite season to experiment with scent, and I will literally not leave home without it. In my mind, finishing off my outfit choice with a spritz of ...
If You Love Neutrals, You’re Going to Want to See These 32 Winter Pieces
You know those pieces in your closet that you can always rely on? The ones that you wear over and over again that act as the building blocks to countless outfits? For me, those pieces are almost exclusively neutrals—items in various shades of grey, cream, camel, and brown that can be mixed and matched with virtually anything. This rings especially true for winter items when you’re layering different fabrics and textures and want to ensure your look feels cohesive. They also always look luxe (regardless of the price tag) so I just feel more polished. All that to say that I’m a true believer in investing in neutral shades of everything—from bags to sweaters to boots to coats. Pieces in this colour palette are equal parts versatile and...
I’ve Assembled 6 Expensive-Looking Party Outfits Entirely From M&S
We’re nearing the end of 2022, which means our calendars are filling up with Christmas bashes, candlelit get-togethers and festive dinner parties. Pass the mulled wine, please. I don’t know about you, but I consider partywear to be one of the most exciting sartorial categories. It’s always nice to depart from one’s everyday uniform (for me, it’s jeans and a jumper) to get a little more dressed up. That being said, I’m reluctant to spend a lot of money on going-out attire; I prefer to invest in items I’ll wear regularly, and I always keep to a strict budget on the partywear front to ensure I don’t overspend or waste money. This is what led me to Marks and Spencer‘s website, where I was pleasantly surprise...
Rosie HW’s Winter Capsule Consists of These 8 Easy Basics
That’s not to say, however, that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley only ever wears well-known, high-end designers. Through her Instagram feed, I discovered brands I didn’t previously know. Marcéla London, for one, has become one of my favourites. She’s also a fan of Bec & Bridge, the Australian label I’ve bought a couple of my most-worn dresses from. She’s known to find the chicest-looking pieces from Zara, too. So, naturally, when looking for inspiration for my winter wardrobe, I head straight to Huntington-Whiteley’s social media and begin saving down my favourite looks. During this process, I’ve quickly identified the key pieces that make up her autumn/winter capsule wardrobe. Because I try to be a nice person, I’ve decided to share them with you below. Scroll on to see...
These Tops Go Perfectly With Jeans for Those “What Should I Wear?” Days
A special top can pull looks together and elevate a pair of jeans to new heights. When I envisage nice tops, my mind goes straight to contemporary designer Christopher Esber. His sophisticated designs have taken the fashion world by storm. I was in awe of his summer designs and as we transition into winter dressing his slinky styles continue to dominate. There’s been an influx of sultry tops just in time for the party season – whether that’s corsets, asymmetric styles or knitted variations with exposed necklines. These are especially great for those of us who prefer jeans and nice top outfits to dresses. Evenings are also an opportunity to wear lighter textiles and silks that are soft to the touch. I also consider classics part of my nice-top repertoire. Although high-neck ...
