I’m a Fashion Expert—5 Ways I’m Wearing One Of This Year’s Biggest Coat Trends
With the temperatures dropping and the big c-word (Christmas!) floating in the air, it’s safe to say that there’s only been one thing on my mind this week: coats. As a self-declared coat fanatic, I pride myself on being able to make most styles, colours, fits and shapes work in my wardrobe, from a puffer at the weekend to a satin trench on a night out, a classic wool coat for work to a cropped jacket for special occasions. However, there is one style that I am yet to invest in but that has most certainly caught my eye this season and that’s a camel coat. Elegant, timeless and endlessly versatile, the camel coat is largely considered to be one of the hardest working pieces in one’s wardrobe, so with that in mind I’ve decided that 2022 is the year I take the plunge and...
Sex and the City’s Reboot Is Back, and Carrie’s Outfits Need to Be See
It was back in July 2021 that the reboot of everyone’s favourite fashion-centric show, Sex and the City, officially began filming in New York City before And Just Like That launched in December the very same year, and it’s safe to say that the series got the whole Who What Wear team talking. There was plenty of newness on the cards in season one, but thankfully one remained thing the same: the fashion. That’s right, Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte were back in action and wearing some very on-brand outfits for each of their characters. (Sadly, Samantha was not part of the new spin-off, and her sassy ensembles and witty one-liners will continue to be sorely missed.) Season one didn’t disappoint when it came to standout fashion moments, with highlights including a s...
9 New-In Totême Pieces Set to Reach Cult Status This Autumn
When it comes to investing in truly special pieces for your wardrobe that will last way beyond the current season and elevate all your outfits for years to come, there’s one brand, in particular, that springs to mind: Totême. As an editor, I often get asked where to turn for pieces with these credentials, and it’s always the first brand I suggest. This is not only because the Swedish label’s collections are beautiful and have the editor-and-influencer stamp of approval a hundred times over but also because the designs manage to be both unique and classic, adding something exciting to your capsule basics while remaining timeless.

5 Trends That Will Still Be Relevant in 6 Months, a Year and 5 Years
I realise that in many ways the concept of trends also being considered classic enough to look good in a few years’ time is something of an oxymoron. After all, trends are fleeting, right? Well, in some ways yes. But in another sense, trends can diverge into a more reliable zone for two different reasons. Sometimes, trends just go on and on for so long that they become a staple part of the fashion lexicon—it’s almost like we can’t get dressed anymore without them, and it’s strange to think that outfits existed beforehand. Imagine a world without skinny jeans or ballet pumps—sure, they may ebb and flow in popularity at times, but they never really die out even if you personally aren’t a fan. Then there’s the fact that trends revol...
I Spotted This Controversial Skirt Trend All Over Fashion Month
One of our main takes from fashion month? Pleated miniskirts are back. This leg-baring silhouette might spark school-day nostalgia in some of us and fear in midi skirt loyalists, but the street style set has rebranded it as a seriously covetable item. It’s a daunting piece to style—not only because it necessitates your entire leg being on show, but also because it feels intrinsically costumey and reminiscent of Britney Spears in her “…Baby One More Time” era. With Halloween on the horizon, that’s not a risk we want to take (as much as we love Britney). While I tend to veer toward effortless dressing, I can recognise the satisfaction in conquering a tricky piece of clothing and getting it to work in your wardrobe, especia...

Topshop Has Relaunched: 16 Pieces That Remind Me of Its Heyday
This, the nostalgia and deep roots of the brand made it seem almost unreal when it was announced it was going into administration. Of course, this was a move every fashion editor had seen coming for a while, but the followthrough of seeing a Great British fashion institution close its doors was a sad day for the high street. But, a ray of hope: Topshop had been acquired by ASOS, another shopping stalwart. Perhaps the magic of Topshop would be reimagined into a new digital concept. It’s been a moment, but that time is now.Topshop has officially relaunched, and after a few edits that didn’t quite live up to its former glory, that Topshop magic has been recaptured, and just in time for it to make a positive impact on our autumn wardrobes. It’s clear to me that the design tea...
Halsey Steps Out in a Totally Sheer Skirt and Black Thong at Beyoncé’s Paris Fashion Week Party
You might want to take a moment after seeing Halsey‘s sensational outfit at Paris Fashion Week. The singer stepped out in the French capital on 4 Oct. to attend Beyoncé’s Tiffany & Co. closing party at the Palais de Tokio wearing black underwear under a totally sheer maxi skirt. The “Gasoline” singer rocked the show-stopping ensemble to the A-list event and proved that underwear as outerwear is a trend that is going nowhere. Sporting a black crop top with asymmetric neckline and thin straps with matching low-slung v-front thong knickers, they slipped a completely sheer maxi skirt over the top. The skirt offered minimal coverage of their thong and flowed elegantly to the ground where they added a pair of patent pointed stilettos to finish off the femme fatale aes...
Beyoncé Wears a Thong Cutout Dress and Link Necklace For New Tiffany & Co. Ads
Following the release of her critically acclaimed “Renaissance” album, Beyoncé is back in the spotlight with a new campaign for Tiffany & Co. Celebrating individuality and self-acceptance, the “Lose Yourself in Love” ads find Beyoncé modelling the brand’s most iconic pieces, including a Tiffany HardWear necklace, created specifically for the shoot, that took over 40 hours to assemble and boasts 18k gold links. Photographed by Mason Poole and styled by Marni Senofonte and Patti Wilson, Beyoncé wears standout pieces like a black gown with thong-shaped hip cutouts, as well as a plunging black corset with matching pants. “I am honored to continue the partnership with Tiffany and Co. and to explore even deeper how beautiful our connections are, when we tr...

Celebs, Influencers and Fashion People All Buy Their Conscious Cashmere Here
My personal favourite from the new collection is the chocolate brown crew neck knit (I have a few of this style in different colours and take them everywhere with me during spring, autumn and winter— throwing them around my shoulders and chucking them in handbags whenever I’m not 100% sure what the weather will do). But if you’re looking for knitwear with a little more personality, there’s also styles like the beautiful off-the-shoulder Natalia jumper or the embellished-sleeve Emanuele. As well as plenty of cute cardigans, co-ord sets and extended sizing options too. Celebrities, influencers and fashion people (myself included) already seem to have cotton on to Reformation’s greatness, and if you needed any more excuses to join the fan club, this new cashmere collection might just be it.&n...
The Good Hair Report 2022
There is no doubt that hair bond builders’ have been gaining momentum in recent years, which became popular through in-salon treatments such as Olaplex. Now, there are many at-home options available that promise to transform hair breakage and colour-damaged lengths. “As hair grows further from the scalp, it suffers accumulating lifestyle damage and the internal structure breaks down, the cuticle lifts and the hair shaft thins down towards the ends,” explains hairdresser Michael Van Clarke. “Bond builders seek to repair some of the molecular connections like the disulphide bonds, and fill voids that have opened up.” But not all bond builders are created equal. “Since the market niche was created, it has ballooned with hundreds of competing produ...
