11 Street Style Trends From Paris We’re Shopping Right Now
The last stretch of fashion month is officially upon us. It all began in New York, where the fashion set took to the sidewalks in bright, bold shades, almost in celebration of the new season. London was a little different this year, but we were still graced with the typical eclecticism and slick tailoring that has become synonymous with the city. Next, Milan offered up the glamour and drama, alongside some exciting accessories trends. And now, we’re in Paris to round off the fashion-month circuit. As the final and longest stint in our tour of fashion cities, Paris remains the most anticipated of all. With the backdrop of renowned brands such as Louis Vuitton, Dior and Chanel presenting their S/S 23 collections, the fashion set bring their best...
One Perfect Arket Blazer Worn 5 Ways for Autumn
The blazer as a wardrobe staple has well and truly passed trend status and become a full-fledged capsule hero piece. I now have upwards of eight in my collection (how many is too many?), and I’d go so far as to say they are the hardest-working items in my closet, so much so that I can’t remember what I wore before blazers were a thing. Answers on a postcard, please. This specific Arket style comes in a few colourways from classics to bold brights, and more often than not, it’s sold out in a lot of them. I actually own both the camel and the black because I’m a big believer in investing when you find an item you love and wear time and time again. I probably wear mine most often with jeans and a white T-shirt, switching in heels, loafers or boots depending on the event. But to showcase ...
Birkin Bags Are More Valuable Than Ever—Here’s How to Get Your Hands on One
Indeed, it seems that a Birkin’s worth just keeps going up. Baghunter shared that between June 2016 and 2017, the value of Birkins on the resale market rose by 16%. Since then, Baghunter has conducted a new report, which found a growing gap between demand and supply of Birkin handbags, leading to a “mini Hermès drought” in the resale market. “With all indicators showing Hermès has not increased production of the Birkin bag, the value of the Birkin is set to spike soon,” said Evelyn Fox, co-founder of Baghunter. We’re no expert on investments, but we’d say the Birkin sounds like a pretty sure bet. This begs the question: Stock market or bag connoisseur? We’ll take the bags, thanks.

Hailey Bieber Just Settled the Debate on Which Shoe Style to Wear With Flares
Hailey Bieber was in Paris earlier this week which means one thing: lots of good autumn outfit inspiration. She definitely delivered this time, especially with an all-black look that touched on multiple trends. Bieber wore a leather Harrington-style jacket over a black turtleneck but it’s her bottom half that really inspired us to to share this look. Bieber paired the jacket and turtleneck with a special pair of skinny flare-cargo hybrid pants (that further prove that flares are back, in case you had any doubts). And if you find yourself conflicted about which shoe style to wear with them, just let Bieber’s feet be your guide. She wore a pair of pointy-toed boots (Balenciaga Cagole Boots, to be exact), displaying that they’re truly the perfect sho...
4 Basic Autumn Outfits Our Favourite Over-40 Celebrities Are Wearing
Many of us use autumn as a time for a wardrobe reset and to revisit the classics, such as a muted colour palette and back-to-school basics. In this way celebrities are just like us, as we’ve noticed many stars leaning on a classic capsule, wearing ankle boots, simple cashmere and blazers. Katie Holmes showed that basics can have a big impact when images of her wearing a knitted cardigan and bra set with jeans walking around New York went viral. Julianne Moore also wore the ultimate weekend outfit, pairing white relaxed trousers with Adidas trainers and a black T-Shirt. Even Victoria Beckham is keeping things simple this month, pairing a mossy green jumper with a leather pencil skirt. Keep scrolling to see and shop their basic autumn outfits.

30 Cosy October Buys From H&M, & Other Stories and Arket
Fresh new season drops are arriving from both the high street and designers, which means a whole host of new inspo and ideas for how we want to dress for this time of the year. There are three high-street brands, in particular, though, that we on the Who What Wear UK team always turn to first when it comes to new season: Arket, & Other Stories and H&M. And needless to say, they have seriously impressed us for October. Key buys inevitably sell out further into the season, so now is the best time to snap them up, and there’s plenty here for you to choose from. We’re turning to the classics that can be easily layered up, such as blazers, knit dresses and jeans, as well as bookmarking the hero coats of the sea...
Trust Us—These 9 Autumn/Winter 2022 Hair Trends Are Everywhere Right Now
I don’t know about you, but I love the start of a new season, particularly the start of autumn/winter. As the leaves turn to fiery orange, and we swap our summer footwear for winter boots, I can’t help but get swept up in that back-to-school feeling, pulling out my trusted knitwear and adding some new A/W trends to my wardrobe. Same for you? If so, it’s only natural that we’re also keen to update our hair as the seasons shift. While in summer, we might opt for lighter, golden hair colour such as balayage, in autumn and winter, it can be fun to embrace those warmer auburn and brunette shades. Nothing gives that back-to-school feeling like a brand-new haircut, and a big chop is a fail-safe for riddi...
9 Rainy Day-Proof Outfits We’re All Going to Wear
Ahh, rain. It’s an inevitability if you live in the UK. Thankfully, we’ve hunted down plenty of rainy-day outfits that prove that it is possible to out-style a downpour. Many a time, have we walked out of the house on the way to the office or to meet friends without an umbrella, a decent jacket or even a bag that will save our outfits from the dreaded drowned-rat syndrome. But because we’ve done this so many times, we’re accustomed to knowing what to put on when the skies start to darken. From selecting the right jacket, be it trench coat or cagoule, to ensuring that our trousers are just slightly cropped (when they soak up puddles, it’s officially the worst) and that our trusty boots boast a wipe-clean surface, we have a host of ...
I’ve Worked It Out: This Is How French Women Always Style Blazers
As Who What Wear’s resident French style expert, I take the responsibility of showing you what Gallic girls are wearing very seriously. There are a lot of stereotypes surrounding French style, most of which are completely outdated, but there are some that actually hold true. I’m here to help you decipher all-things French style. Today’s curriculum? Blazers. Of course, the French aren’t the only people who wear blazers—they’re pretty integral to the British aesthetic, too, for example—but, in the 10+ years I’ve been analysing outfits from across the channel, it’s clear French women have a genuine appreciation for blazers. So, how to French women style blazers? I’ve found seven chic outfit examples which I think showcase t...
The Best Dressed People I Know All Wear This Autumn Trend
I might be in the minority when I say this but, after what felt like an uncharacteristically long, hot summer in the UK, I’m ready to embrace the crisp, cosiness of autumn with open arms. Although there is an ease that comes with summer dressing (strappy dresses, sandals and shirts + swimwear always makes a winning combo), autumn feels like an opportunity to experiment. There are new textures, trends and of course a whole new colour palette to explore, and the consensus among my fellow fashion editors is that it’s also the perfect time to wear our favourite wardrobe staple–tailoring. When once we used to hear “tailoring” and immediately think of office-ready pinstripes, it has steadily worked it’s way from its formally formal remit into our everyday...
5 Ways You Can Make Your Clothes Last Longer (and Save Money)
How to care for your clothes? It appears to be a concept that many of us still struggle to define, but all is not lost. Despite Marie Kondo helping us to spark joy, we still have a lot of stuff in our wardrobes—and stuff we rarely wear. In journalist Lauren Bravo’s book, How to Break Up With Fast Fashion, she revealed that in 2019 alone the UK spent an estimated £2.7 billion on clothes that only got worn once. That’s quite the sobering statistic. Adding to this, there’s nothing quite like a cost-of-living crisis to really make you double-down on sensible purchases and making what you already own go that little bit further. For those of us who love fashion, we know that it can, at times, make you feel overwhelming guilt and shame about the textile bounty you’ve amas...
