Finding a fashion editor whose brain isn’t an encyclopedia of Kate Moss looks from the ’90s is about as rare as a Vivienne Westwood corset that costs less than £1,000 secondhand. It’s practically a bullet point in our job descriptions. So when I saw the supermodel’s graphite-coloured, vintage “naked” dress from Turner Vintage that she wore on Wednesday night to celebrate her appointment as creative director of Diet Coke (iconic), my mind went straight to another, albeit slightly tamer, silhouette she wore nearly 30 years prior. Yes, I’m talking about Moss’s completely sheer, silver slip that she wore in September of 1993 to an Elite Model Agency party in London. Often included in any evolution of the&nb...
If there’s anything I love most about fashion, it’s putting together a seasonal wardrobe edits. As soon as the weather starts to shift, I begin a closet clear-out that involves the timely process of shifting the last few months’ clothes into storage and taking stock of what can come with me into the next, and if this routine has taught me anything, it’s the value of long-wearing, investment purchases. In all honesty, the term “wardrobe staple” gets bandied around so much that it’s almost become retailer speak for “buy this now,” but in truth, a wardrobe staple should be a timeless piece so good you’ll wear it for years to come, and finding the right one can elevate almost everything else you already own (...
There are a lot of jumpers out there to choose from when shopping for your winter wardrobe this year, especially if you’re looking for knits on the high street. Some, however, are better than others, and there’s one particular knit that the whole Who What Wear team (and the fashion world in general) has been hoping would come back in stock for 2022. Arket’s cable-knit wool jumper first launched last year and sold out within just days of it landing online, probably thanks to the fact that an army of influential fashion people jumped on it so quickly and then proceeded to share it all over the internet. We missed out last year, and since it’s such a timeless knit, it’s no surprise we’ve seen it worn repeatedly by the lucky people who managed to get their hands on one ev...
This year, that store is Flannels.com. It’s offering a £100 voucher for every £500 you spend (with a maximum voucher of £200), which is a great opportunity to consider investing in those forever items on your wish list. And if you’re wondering what’s on mine, well, let me tell you! Like many, I’ve long lusted after the iconic Jimmy Choo Bing 100 patent-leather heels. The perfect party heel with a mule silhouette, they’re suitable all year round (which certainly makes them more tempting for me). Whilst we’re on the topic of partywear, it would be a sin not to mention the party dresses of the year, which come courtesy of 16 Arlington. The selection at Flannels.com is second to none, with an array of feathered, sequined numbers in bold and neutral hues. Wha...

At this point, I’d been experiencing cystic acne for years, and my skin was getting worse and really getting me down (not to mention the acne scarring aftermath of each breakout). I’d had a hunch for a long time that no matter what I put on my skin, it wouldn’t work, as there was something going on internally. I’d lost count of how many times I had visited the GP. Exasperated, I returned to my doctor again, who was sympathetic towards skin conditions, and she referred me to see a dermatologist through the NHS. Getting this dermatologist appointment was a real breakthrough, as I felt I was finally being understood. At the time of my appointment, I was experiencing an eczema flare too, but she reassured me that we could address my hormonal acne at the same time ...
As a beauty editor, I live for product recommendations and makeup tips. The good news is that I never have to look very far to find them because celebrities are rife with them. It only makes sense. After all, they spend a lot of time on set and in the makeup chair learning from the best makeup artists in the business. If there’s one celebrity I can always count on for some good old makeup inspo, it’s Hailey Bieber. She’s constantly posting on social media, sharing new product recommendations and inside looks on her personal makeup routine with her millions of followers. In one of her latest YouTube videos, the multi-hyphenate model, influencer, and brand founder took us through her autumn/winter makeup routine with the help o...
While New Yorkers tend to dress well all year round, their winter style is where it really gets good, IMHO. As soon as the weather cools, you can spot NYC girls breaking out chic new outerwear looks, test-driving the latest denim trends, and playing around with some creative layering ideas. The same is true about their taste in shoes. Despite being in a city in which practicality comes first, New Yorkers are often the first people I see to test out the coolest shoe trends of the moment, and this season is certainly no different. In fact, taking a stroll around the city on any given day this month, I spotted a few key themes in the footwear choices of my fellow city dwellers. It turns out that they’re all favouring the below five ...
It felt like autumn happened almost overnight. One minute we were soaking up the heat in sundresses and sandals and the next, a fresh wind had set in heralding the official end of bare-legged season. But don’t get us wrong, this isn’t a lament to the end of summer, it’s actually a welcome to the next best thing. Autumn is the best time for dressing up and the official start to party season, and while you might be missing the heatwaves that dominated July and August, the new few months are about to be your best-dressed and cosiest yet. We love dressing up and heading out, and as our social calendars are steadily filling ahead of birthdays, dinners, Christmas and New Year, the first thing on the agenda is finding something to wear that will look go...

They’re always the hardest-working item in our wardrobes come autumn, so it’s little wonder all we can think about right now is boots. However, with a plethora new styles out there—think buckle boots, cowboy and the It pair favoured by British women, to name a few—there are almost too many options to choose from. So instead, we’re cancelling out the noise (just for a second) to focus our energy on a time-honoured classic: Chelsea boots. Chelsea boots have morphed into a perennial fallback. Dating back to the Victorian era when, much like today, they were worn by men and women alike, they traditionally featured flat soles, rounded toes and sat just above the ankles. In recent years, however, the style has evolved into various iterations, from pointed-toe iterations and tal...
