Angelina Jolie Just Styled Puddle Pants With Autumn’s Top Coat Trend
If I were to see Angelina Jolie at the supermarket, I would want her to be wearing exactly what she was photographed in while leaving a grocery shop over the weekend. Her chic, minimal style can certainly be casual and comfortable, but it’s always put-together—even when she’s doing something as low-key as making a food-shop stop. Not only was Jolie’s outfit low-key, but it was also quite trendy. The trends she combined were puddle pants (baggy, wide-leg pants that are long enough to pool around the ankles), ’90s-style flatforms, and a maxi-length coat. Leave it to Jolie to make trendy pieces look oh so understated. She did so by choosing neutral colours and wearing minimal accessories, which will help you also achieve the trendy lo...
Sienna Miller Just Wore the Ultimate ’90s Trouser-and-Shoe Pairing
At this point, whenever Sienna Miller steps out in something new, we immediately rush to take notes. Not only has she already given us a fresh, new way to wear jeans and boots and created a viral dress trend this year, but her autumn wardrobe is a masterclass in how to dress for the season with only 5 key buys, making her one of our go-tos for new style inspo. She might come a long way from her boho roots, but it’s her latest throwback trend that just got everyone in the Who What Wear office talking. Just when we thought we’d seen the back of the Y2K renaissance, Sienna stepped out in a look that wouldn’t have felt entirely out of place on a 90s runway. The controversial trouser trend we predicted would be a success just hit the A...
Zara Really Wants You to Wear These 6 Trends This Winter
I’ve spent years carefully crafting my winter wardrobe. I’ve chosen classic coats, knitwear that doesn’t date, quality boots that go way beyond one season and tailoring I can dress up or down. Still, I sometimes wish my winter wares packed a bit more of a fashion hit. I’m all about timelessness, but there is something to be said for adding a bout of trend-led appeal to your wares, particularly in winter when you spend a significant amount of your time wrapped up in practical layers. So with the idea of making my winter ensembles feel more timely, I thought I’d head on over to Zara to see the timely pieces the brand is recommending for the season ahead. Zara is the first place I turn when I want something of the moment. The brand doesn’...
Angelina Jolie Just Wore Puddle Pants With ’90s Shoes and Autumn’s It Coat

I Tried Almost Every Perfume in Liberty, But These Ones Get the Most Compliments
There are a few places in this world where I’m in complete and utter bliss, and one of those is the perfume department at Liberty. Perhaps it is because I live outside of London without regular trips to the iconic department store, but I know that fellow beauty lovers will agree with me when I say that it’s one of the best places to shop and discover beauty, particularly perfume brands. Tucked away from the bustling Oxford Circus, the Liberty store (which is a Grade II–listed Tudor building built from old ships) is a tranquil haven from the throngs of crowds outside. It’s quieter than other department stores, and it has curated a brilliant edit of fragrances in its beauty hall. From the little-known niche fragrances to the perfumes worn by celebrities, it really...
Looking For a New Winter Coat? I Need You to See H&M’s Designer-Looking Drop
Buying a winter coat is like a rite of passage—something instilled in us as children growing up in the UK (for me, it was tradition my grandparents took me to buy mine each September). And as adults it’s a process we still partake in, albeit less frequently—perhaps every few years we’ll invest in a really good one that adds to our collection. Maybe this year you’re on the look out for a practical puffer coat (probably to wear inside as well), or a smart wool style to multi-task for you. Whichever style is on your radar for 2022, let me point you in the direction of H&M. The high street favourite has just dropped its yearly outerwear collection, and it’s full of expensive-looking designs that tick every trend—as well as all the classics. Of course, if you’re looking to make a seri...

These Statement Knitwear Buys Are Perfect for 2022’s Party Season
With less than two months until Christmas, it’s safe to talk about the festive season and all its style conundrums right? For me, when it come’s to party dressing I like to embrace a more polished version of my day-to-day look. I still want to look like myself, but just with some added sparkle. While I like a clean and classic look normally, the festive season is the time to add some glitz to my look, and as a self-confessed magpie, I often find drawn to silver gems, diamanté details and colourful sequins. I know I’m not the only one who falls into this category… Fortunately, this love of all things sparkly doesn’t mean I’m restricted to mini skirts, barely-there dresses and strappy tops. The most hardworking piece...
I Have Pigmentation and Swear By This New Serum for Even, Glowing Skin
The serum may only just have launched but it already has big fans within the beauty community. “Previously, I was dealing with breakouts and acne but now I’ve passed that, my next goal was reducing discolouration and just generally brightening my skin,” says celebrity makeup artist and skin expert Nikki DeRoest. “I love that the serum can treat my pigmentation but also means I’m not stripping my skin and that it is still hydrated and healing.” DeRoest saw a difference within a matter of weeks. “After a week I thought I was seeing things but as I kept using it I could see it was truly brightening those spots,” she says. “Now I use it every morning and night. I’m obsessed.” After trying out the serum for the first time myself, I understood the obsession straight away. The serum has...

11 Major Shoe Trends That Will Be Everywhere This Winter
Winter is my favourite time of year to invest in shoes. In the summer months, I tend to schlep about in the same sandals, day in, day out, but in winter, that’s when my footwear horizons broaden. Of course, there are boots to consider, and I’m always eager to see which pairs feel fresh for the season ahead. However, the colder months aren’t just about wrapping up as best you can; with them comes party season, and I delight in the fanciful shoes that dominate new-in sections around this time. Winter is also a prime time to revisit your loafers, which get put on stand-by from June to August. While classic leather horsebit loafers will always be a style mainstay, you can bet they’ll also be an overhauled helping of loafers to choose from, too. You ...
