This Frankie Shop Quilted Jacket Is Back and Looking As Good As Ever
It may be still officially be summer, but that doesn’t mean our fashion minds haven’t moved on. It is September and the UK, after all. It’s our job to keep on the cutting edge of all things trend-related for autumn/winter, but we wanted to tell you about the jacket that has been going strong since spring. The Frankie Shop Quilted Ripstock Jacket was spotted on every fashion editor and influencer last year, so naturally, the style sold out at record speed, but we are happy to report that it’s finally back in two new chic colourways. And now, there’s another Frankie Shop style to choose from: the Teddy, which features the same statement quilting and large pockets as the Ripstop but with upgrades including contrasting plackets. Y...
7 Affordable Autumn Trends the High Street Can’t Seem to Keep in Stock
It’s a bit of a running joke among my friends and family that I have expensive taste. Whenever I’m shopping with my mum or browsing the rails with my best friend, they always chuckle whenever I pick something up, only to place it coyly back down after reading its price tag. Still, I consider this innate attraction to premium-looking pieces to be a gift, not a curse, as it also helps me hunt down the most expensive-looking pieces on the high street, which, in my experience, are always the first to sell out. Excuse the humble brag, but I can go into any affordable store and find items that look like luxury. How? It’s taken over a decade of analysing, but the main factors that come into play are colour, fabrication and silhouette across both trend-led and timeless buys....
These 34 New Mango Pieces Have Really Impressed Me

Whether the newfound obsession over pink or the revival of bomber jackets has inspired you, you’re probably on the prowl for affordable yet on-trend pieces.

We’ve identified a handful of trends that Mango is embracing big time. From saturated styling to glitzy partywear, current and classic, our edit no doubt includes a few looks you’ve already had your eye on. Scroll on and join me in struggling to resist...
Black Ankle Boots Are Non-Negotiables in an Autumn Wardrobe—Here Are the Best
Our obsession with black ankle boots, you see, is that they pretty much work with everything you already own. Jeans? Yes. Skirts? Of course. Dresses? The perfect accompaniment. It’s worth considering how you can choose the style that best suits your aesthetic, regardless of what the trends of the time might be. Me? I know that I’ll always rely upon a pair of neat, mid-heeled ankle boots in the simplest of silhouettes and with the least-fussy finish. But I have also delved into the world of chunky, lug-soled boots since I needed a more practical option for dashing about in the winter months with a toddler. So it’s no surprise that we take investing in a pair of black ankle boots very seriously, and I would always recommend that you consider quality over quantity...
Arket’s Most-Coveted Jumper Is Finally Back in Stock
I don’t want to sound like a fashion cliché, but I think I’ve fallen in love with a jumper. To be fair, the pullover in question has all the attributes I’m looking for: It’s striped, loose-fitting and, crucially, looks way more expensive than it is. The piece I’m referring to comes from Arket and costs £69. The brand has reissued this jumper after similar versions sold out last year, and I (along with the rest of the Who What Wear team) have been waiting for this new drop ever since. It’s not really surprising that we’re all falling over ourselves for this high-street item considering it is very similar to the incredibly expensive Celine version, so this feels like a real bargain. This time, there are three versi...

There’s nothing like that satisfying (and I’ll admit, smug) feeling of putting together an outfit that looks expensive but actually isn’t.

Emma Corrin Wears High-Cut Bodysuit at “My Policeman” Premiere With Harry Styles
We’re only just getting over the glamour of the Venice Film Festival, but all eyes are already on the red carpet overseas. Emma Corrin stepped out at the Toronto Film Festival on 11 Sept. wearing a showstopping look as they promoted their upcoming film “My Policeman” alongside costar Harry Styles. The British actor wore a black high-cut bodysuit, custom made by Miu Miu, with cold shoulder detailing, blouson sleeves, and a dramatic train. They teamed the bodysuit with sheer black tights and black patent court shoes. Corrin, who also has a close connection to the royal family after playing Princess Diana in series four of “The Crown“, undoubtedly turned heads in the bodysuit as their streamlined outfit was chic and edgy in equal measure. Their sheer tights also ...
This Is How We Actually Find Expensive-Looking Fashion on Amazon
If I told you I knew fashion editors that shopped for clothes on Amazon, I wouldn’t blame you for not believing me. But, honestly, I do (myself included)— you just have to know where to look for the best pieces. The secret? Type The Drop collection into the search bar. The Drop is Amazon’s edit of trend-led pieces, with regular limited collections designed in collaboration with the most stylish influencers— from the likes of Kellie B and We Are Twinset. Between these exclusive launches (which usually sell out in days), there’s also The Drop Staples—a selection of evergreen items that make up a collection of wardrobe classics. The perfect strappy heels you’ve been searching for, or a trench coat perhaps—all at an extremely affordable price poi...
If You’re Not Using This Type of Brush, You’re Making Your Fine Hair Flatter
Fine-hair types know that they want to avoid anything that weighs down their hair or makes it seem flat. “Fine hair gets tangled quickly and easily, and that is where a lot of breakage happens,” says Laura Polko, T3 brand ambassador and celebrity stylist. “It is a bit more fragile since it is a thinner strand, and it cannot withstand the same heat, chemicals, and environmental factors as thicker hair.” That means you want to be using the right products and tools to care for your delicate strands. And when it comes to the latter, you especially want to make sure you have a brush on hand that is gentle enough on the hair but also able to detangle and style. It might seem like a tall order, but I asked some hairstylists for their tips, which they shared below...
I’m Sad These Accessory Trends No Longer Feel Fresh—These 5, However, Are It
Everyone has that one accessory they adore. Be it handbags, scarves or jewellery, it’s easy to fall for the finishing touches that make up an outfit. As with clothes, accessory trends come and go. The truly brilliant styles stand the test of time, making the most of their cost per wear, but just like the revival of maxi skirts, baggy jeans and zebra print, trends form within accessories, making some feel fresher than others. If you’re looking to revitalise your looks without completely overhauling your wardrobe, adding in fresh or trending accessories to the mix can breath fresh life into your looks. And as everything in fashion is cyclical, you know that even when these trends are “out,” it’s only a matter of time before you’ll be reachin...
9 Classic Autumn Outfit Ideas, Courtesy of French Girls
I can’t think of many things that are more quintessentially “fall” than autumn in Paris. It’s cozy and crisp and the typical classic style that’s so popular among the French is perfectly suited for the fall season. Striped sweaters, blazers, trench coats, and pleated trousers are staples of a French girl’s wardrobe, and all of these pieces are the building blocks of a great fall wardrobe. Autumn is a historically busy time of year, so having a backlog of classic (and easy) outfit ideas is paramount. I took a scroll through the feeds of some of the most stylish French women on Instagram, and found nine outfits that are making me very excited for fall (after all, it’s the best outfit season of the year). If you’re ready to kickstart y...
Everything You Need for a Complete Autumn Wardrobe, According to Your Style Type
One thing that has become apparent to me since I started working in fashion is that I don’t subscribe to a particular aesthetic. What I wear tends to depend on my mood. Some days it might be a T-shirt and trainers; other days I’m a dresses-and-heels kind of girl. But it’s becoming clear that I might be in the minority. Fashion lovers can’t help but form groups—not necessarily cliques, but more style by association—and you most definitely know the ones. There are the ultra-cool minimalist dressers who manage to look like off-duty models in the simplest of ensembles, the all-out partiers who are always adorned in sparkles and feathers and suited and booted power dressers who are always business first. We naturally beco...
