This Is How Fashion Experts Look After Their Cashmere Jumpers
I have a reputation for being obsessed with looking after my clothes. Everything has the right hanger, box or covering. Some items are best folded up in a drawer with a more than substantial amount of moth repellent; important shoes are kept in their original boxes; and I separate my tights from my neatly matched, rolled-up socks. I like to make things last, and enjoy fussing over my precious items, new and old. One thing I still don’t really know how to look after, though, is cashmere. How does one wash cashmere at home? Is that a fashion crime? Should your cashmere sweaters go in the freezer or something? Are there especially evil moths that will just come for my cosiest knits at a certain time of the year? How long can I wear a cashmere sweater for and expect it to last or look passable...
I Just Tried On So Many Chic Whistles Pieces—Here’s What I Really Rate
Welcome to The Great Try-On. With autumn well and truly in the air, we seized the opportunity to try on some of the best new-in pieces from some of your favourite brands, documenting the process along the way. We believe that the best way to shop online is to see an item IRL and to read candid reviews, so we hope that this leads you to your most successful purchases of the year. I’ve never had a hard time admitting when I’m wrong. In fact, I believe that owning up to your mistakes is one of the most important things you can do. And I’ve made a mistake I’d like to own up to and set right: I’ve been overlooking Whistles for far, far too long. But before we get into that, let’s begin with the reason we’re here. One of the biggest perks of my job is getting to try on the latest collection...
Jimmy Choo’s New Season Accessories are Here–and They’re Kendall Jenner-Approved
We’re not ashamed to admit that the whole Who What Wear team excitedly awaits Jimmy Choo’s new seasonal launches with bated breath. Between its pool-ready sandals and chunky winter boots, the brand always delivers in the style stakes and sets the tone for what to expect from the season ahead. And this year is no exception. While we’ve already been treated to the perfect spring shoe collection (as fronted by Hailey Bieber), and the release of the year’s latest It sneakers, there’s still more to come from the brand, and the latest Time to Dare collection takes iconic Jimmy Choo signatures, and dials up the drama, and this season comes Kendall Jenner approved. “Energetic, dynamic, free—the idea for autumn was to explore silhouettes and shapes, pro...
Bella Hadid Just Wore the Perfect Skirt-and-Boot Outfit I’ll Copy This Autumn
Bella Hadid is one of the most talked about celebs in the Who What Wear office. As a supermodel, philanthropist and all round IT-girl, she’s never far from our thoughts, whether that’s because she’s closed a major show at fashion week or has been spotted in an enviable outfit on the streets of New York. This season alone she’s sparkled in sequins at Tom Ford, gone minimal (complete with umbrella) at Jil Sander and transformed into a gothic purple-adorned bride at Versace. However, its not just her runway fits that are causing a stir; her off-duty looks have also been catching our eye recently. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power...
I Searched Through 100s of High Street Trench Coats—These 23 Are the Very Best
As the leaves start to brown and sun gives way to rain, it’s that time of year again when we get out the most useful of outerwear from our wardrobes: the trench coat. The weather has definitely turned, as I sit at my desk with the rain pouring down, it’s got me thinking about to how to look chic but still warm when the temperamental British weather isn’t on our side. If you’re thinking the same, don’t fear, as the answer lies in a staple you probably already have in your wardrobe. Easy to throw on, functional yet stylish and an instant way to pull your look together, the trench coat is the chic cover up we all need in our lives. Influencers like Marianne of @smythsisters and...
16 Seamless Bras That Are So Comfy You’ll Forget You’re Wearing Them
When most people put on a bra each day, they do so reluctantly. All of us bra-wearers have had to go through a teething stage where we eliminate options that just don’t work. Do underwired lacy styles, though pretty, fill you with dread every time you reach for your underwear drawer? Every body is unique, and finding the right shape, cup size and fabrication is largely a process of trial and error. There’s one key quality you should be aiming for when choosing your everyday bra type: invisibility. Not literal invisibility, obviously, but the right bra should look and feel like it doesn’t exist once you’re finished getting dressed. Ideally, it’ll be forgotten about within seconds of hooking its clasp or slipping it o...
This Autumn Jacket Is Definitely Going to Be the Next Cult Frankie Shop Piece
Maybe it’s because the brand tends to focus on perfecting a few hero items that are made to last rather than releasing extensive short-term collections, or it could be because the brand seems to be able to read into what we all truly want to wear. Either way, the latest capsule wardrobe piece the brand has put its perfectly oversized stamp on is the humble bomber jacket, and of course, it doesn’t disappoint. Released in four colours (for now), the Astra Shell Jacket is the modern twist on a classic we didn’t even know we needed. And since the bomber is set to be huge news again for autumn/winter 2022 and beyond, we’re predicting a sell-out soon enough. Of course, it didn’t take long for fashion’s coolest people to jump on it, and we’ve already seen...
6 Fashion Influencers Just Share Their Autumn Wish Lists With Me
Instagram is one of my favourite destinations for a daily dose of fashion inspiration. Each season I love poring over our trend guide and street style stories, but there’s something to be said for seeing those whose style—and wardrobe—you enjoy try new-season pieces, test out trends and rework wardrobe staples in ways you could never imagine. They sometimes do the hard work, so we don’t have to. So, when I thought about what I wanted to invest in ahead of the new season, I knew I needed to go straight to my usual source. And, of course, then share it with you! With that in mind I asked six fashion influencers to share their autumn wish lists with me, revealing what pieces they’ve got their eye on and what they’re planning on wearing...
Yes, Your Skin Will Change During Menopause—Here’s Everything You Should Know
This drop in oestrogen levels is the main cause for skin changes from the offset of perimenopause (the time at which periods begin to become irregular). “Collagen levels start to decline more quickly as oestrogen levels drop, meaning that skin can start to feel less firm and wrinkles can deepen. The biggest changes are arguably to the top layers of the skin though, including to the skin barrier. Changes here will have a bigger impact on skin’s resilience, radiance and how healthy the skin looks and feels. We know from our scientific research that declining oestrogen levels reduce the amount of lipids in the skin barrier for example, which play a role in keeping skin supple, nourished and the skin barrier strong,” adds Dr Bradley. In essence, this means that throughout the...
Cold Girls, Assemble: These 8 Knitwear Trends Will Dominate 2022
Autumn is absolutely my favourite season to dress for. Between knee-high boots, woollen coats, and leather separates, there’s nothing I love more the curating outfits with layers, textures, and silhouettes in mind. And it goes without saying that an integral part of my autumn wardrobe centres around knitwear. As someone who spends much of their time complaining about how cold they are, over the years I’ve developed quite the extensive knitwear collection. Cable knits are my weak spot, though lately, I’ve found myself gravitating towards lots of striped styles (more on that in a moment). However, I’m always open to the idea of trying something new, which is where 2022’s freshest knitwear trends come in. I’ve scoured Instagram to discover which knitwear tr...
How Often Should You Wash Your Coat? An Expert Just Told Me the Answer
How often should you wash your coat? In short, you’re looking at once at the end of the season according to intel from the on-demand, sustainable laundry service Oxwash. But surely there are nuances to this dry-cleaning schedule, right? What about how much you wear said coat? The fabric it’s made from? How long you’ve owned it? And how you store it? Well, to dig into the idea a little bit further in time for coat season, I reached out to Oxwash to get some further clarification and their founder, Dr Kyle Grant, duly responded with some incredibly helpful tips and tricks to keeping your outerwear looking in mint condition, lasting much longer and, well, not smelling like you’ve lived in it for the past few winters even if you have. Jacket and coat weather is fas...
Elsa Hosk Wore the New Ugg Boots That Are Destined for “It Item” Status
Every year, around this time, the inevitable happens: Very stylish celebrities start wearing Ugg boots in very chic ways. One of the first to do so this year is Elsa Hosk, who donned a newly released style at New York Fashion Week last week, and it follows a major 2022 shoe trend: platforms. If you’re a fan of Ugg shoes, you’re probably aware of the Classic Ultra Mini Boots, the wildly popular style that was released in 2020 and is still going strong. And now, two years later, Ugg had the smart idea to reinvent the Classic Ultra Mini Boots with a platform. Given everyone’s obsession with platforms currently, it makes the popular style feel even fresher. Hosk, always the styling genius, paired hers with a long cardigan and midi skirt from her new Revolve clothing line, alo...
