Princess Kate Just Wore the Winter Outfit Editors Use to Look Expensive
Opting for a timeless Max & Co camel coat, Kate masterfully matched the rest of her outfit to it to create high-end finish. This, in the fashion industry, is called monochroming—wearing one shade top-to-toe—and is the very styling trick editors and influencers use when they want to look expensive and put together. Underneath it she wore a knitted midi, which just so happens to be our favourite dress style to wear at this time of year, which she then finished with pieces we’ve seen before—a handbag from DeMellier and heels from Ralph Lauren. New in this outfit mix, however, is a waist-belt from affordable Brit brand, Boden, but I have no doubt it won’t be the last we see of it now that it’s been inaugurated into Catherine’s wardrobe.

Kate Moss Certifies her Supermodel Status in a Sheer Backless Dress and Black Thong
Supermodel Kate Moss has dominated the fashion industry for decades thanks to her stellar modelling career and cool personal style, and her sartorial reign is showing no signs of slowing down. Attending the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards in New York on 2 Nov., Moss stepped out in an olive green sheer gown that left her black thong visible in a look reminiscent of her infamous ’90s naked slip dress. Moss’s statement style put the fashion icon firmly in the spotlight for the evening. The backless dress, which hails from Saint Laurent’s spring 2023 runway, included a ruched top with extra fabric to form a hood. With a triangle cutout at the torso, the green fabric turned sheer from the waist and fell to the floor. The model wore a black thong underneath that matched her black...
These Trends Used to Be “Dated,” But They’re Set to Be Big for 2023
Just when you think a trend may be gone for good, a buzzy designer or It girl will breathe new life into it. This statement stands strong as ever, as the current list of what’s cool in fashion pulls from the ’60s and the mid-2000s, and there’s no solid prediction of what could come next. Fashion is cyclical, and it’s only natural that things will come back in style. Even when I report on certain pieces being “out,” I always remind the reader that it’s up to them to decide what’s worth keeping or tossing. And while I’ve grown familiar with the pattern of trends coming and going, a few items that came down the 2023 runways still took me by surprise. In light of discussing 2023 fashion, I scoured the collectio...
I Thought I Was Over Uggs—These 5 Outfits Convinced Me Otherwise
Uggs are making a major comeback. Yes, you heard that right. There’s no denying that they have been bubbling up for a while now, and after spotting some of our favourite fashion influencers donning the cosy footwear, the whole Who What Wear team can’t stop talking about the brand’s resurgence. Ugg was founded by a young Aussie surfer in 1978 and made a name for itself by using only the softest sheepskin to create fluffy slippers and boots, which rose to fame in the 2000s thanks to It girls like Pairs Hilton, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan taking a shine to them. Fast forward to 2022 and after booming onto Instagram, the brand is back and is rebranding its styles as essential autumn/winter footwear. So what is it that we a...
I Put Together 5 Stylish Winter Outfits Entirely From & Other Stories
A big part of my job is spotting great outfits; there’s nothing I love more than stumbling across an impressive ensemble on Instagram and adding it to my Saved folders to share with you when the time is right. That is, except perhaps assembling the outfits for myself! I started my fashion career as a stylist, and while I wouldn’t trade my Who What Wear writing gig for the world, there is something undeniably satisfying about pulling together an outfit from scratch. Only now, instead of styling on a model, I get my creative fix by way of a curated outfit build. This week, I’ve focused my energy on & Other Stories. The brand’s winter collection has just landed on site, and there are so many excellent shopping options. I thought it would be fun to see how...
They Say This New Acne Scarring Treatment Works Wonders—I Put It To The Test
In the days after my treatments, my skin was pink, and I could see the track marks from where the needles had punctured my skin. It certainly looks more severe than it was, and I didn’t experience any pain whatsoever. This lasted up to four days, after which my skin settled and the bumps has disappeared. Naturally, my skin was more sensitive during this time, so I was given some aftercare tips to ensure my skin healed well. I only used gentle skincare for up to four days after each treatment, and mostly avoided stronger active ingredients such as retinoids and acids for the duration of my treatment course. Lynton has a cooling serum gel which is designed to be used post-procedure, which I used in the days after my treatment. I stayed out of the sun and wore an SPF each day, whic...
Influencers Always Wear This Autumn Wardrobe Staple—23 Our Editors Rate
Here at Who What Wear, we love to talk about wardrobe classics. Knits, denim, amazing boots…there are some items that are just born to be part of a capsule wardrobe. But on my recent Instagram scroll I discovered that there was one such item that doesn’t get nearly as much air time, and that’s sweatshirts. From slogan emblazoned to embroidered logos and vintage washed out vibes to hoodies and cropped silhouettes, it’s true that the best sweatshirts come in all shapes and sizes. There’s something about a slogan sweatshirt that just instantly pulls a cosy autumn look together. Whether it’s the iconic image of Diana running errands around town in her oversized number or the myriad of influencers we’ve spotted on instagram in slogan styles, the ob...
Not All Boots and Trousers Go Together, But These Combinations Always Work
As we steadily approach the start of winter, it’s easy to feel like you’ve tried every single outfit combination in your wardrobe. With a reliable rotation of the same jeans and trousers being worn with various pairs of boots throughout the last few months, day-to-day dressing can seem like a repetitive task all to often. Thankfully, with fashion weeks in Copenhagen, New York and Paris all having taken place in the last couple of months, we’ve got plenty of new autumn/winter style inspiration, and we won’t let a little bit of inclement weather stop us from having fun with our outfits. From innovative new formulas to tried-and-tested classic combinations, some of our favourite influencers, fashion editors and street s...
5 Pieces Worth Owning If You’re Going to Wear Leggings in 2022
Chic leggings. Yes, those two words that can go together. Leggings previously fell into the loungewear or gym kit categories exclusively, worn only for errand running in or for weekends hibernating at home, but I’m here to tell you that these hardworking heroes deserve a new lease of life this season. I’ll admit, they’re pretty much my favourite wardrobe staple right now, thanks to the myriad ways to dress them up or down. Plus, we all know how comfy they are! Wear them everywhere from a night out (see Camille and Marilyn for inspo) with heels or knee high boots and a sensational jacket. Or, use them as the base for the perfect weekend look, with cosy layers, chunky footwear and a coat. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking f...
Can You Wear Black to a Wedding? These 17 Dresses Could Work
“I definitely think it’s appropriate to wear black to a wedding, especially if the attire is black-tie. I also think it depends on the location/aesthetic of the wedding,” says Who What Wear U.S.’s Lauren Eggertsen. “For example, I attended a black-tie wedding where the reception took place in a gorgeous ballroom, so a black dress seemed more than appropriate. If I were attending a summertime outdoor wedding, black might seem out of place.” On the other hand, her colleague Erin Fitzpatrick would steer clear of turning to the dark side. “I definitely don’t think it’s a universal rule anymore, but I personally prefer to skip black dresses for weddings,” she says. “Since every wedding I’ve been to has been in the summ...
Trousers Are Out, Underwear Is In—6 Risqué Runway Looks That Prove It
In addition to simple, pared-down looks on the spring 2023 runways, the latest fashion season also offered up its fair share of more risqué ensembles, one of which involves ditching trousers entirely and wearing underwear—only. Even more surprising, though, was how alluring the trend turned out to be. Rather than over-the-top or showy, designers like Matthieu Blazy at Bottega Veneta and Victoria Beckham showcased the trouserless look in the most high-brow of manners. What levelled up the concept was the way in which it was styled on the runways, which I suggest you take note of for when you test out the trend IRL. At both of the aforementioned presentations, models ditched trousers and wore just tights instead, paired with classic heels and either a simple kni...
I Stalked French Girls on Insta, and They All Own These 7 Non-Basic Things
French women are known for the classics. A good pair of jeans plus a cable-knit jumper plus timeless accessories make up one of the many outfits that I think of when imagining what one would wear to galavant around Paris. One thing the items listed above have in common is that we call them basics. Since French women are very well known for artfully styling wardrobe essentials, that tends to be what we associate them with. If you take a closer look, however, you’ll notice that they also champion a lot of non-boring items. Taking a break from exploring French basics led me to notice themes like funky stripes, menswear staples, unique tailoring, and more. There are a lot of micro-trends to be found in Paris, but some of them pop up more often than othe...
