I’m A Style Expert— These Are the Only 8 Pieces On My Autumn Wish List
Going into the new season, I wanted all the goss on which pieces she has her eyes on for autumn—knowing full well I’d probably add them straight onto my own wish list too, as well as her top tips for creating the most hard-working autumn/winter wardrobe. “My go-to must-haves are a trench coat, black penny loafers and a sturdy umbrella!” She told me. “I try to be more sustainable by mostly wearing what I already own, but there are a few new AW22 trends I’ve got my eye on, like the return of corduroy and velvet in more sophisticated forms—think waistcoats and wide-leg trousers. I’ll also be trying out XL silhouettes which I always think is an easy way to make classics look fresh.” As for outfit ideas to wear right now, Bathgate says, “I fi...
Not All Skirt-and-Boot Pairings Work, But These 5 Definitely Do
At this time of year, skirts are a hard-and-fast staple. Whether you lean towards the knitted, silky or mini variety, there’s no doubting that this chic choice of bottoms is endlessly versatile and cold-weather appropriate—particularly when worn with thick black tights. Ankle boots sit right up there with skirts on the top tier of autumn essentials. So it makes sense that we would style these two hero items together. Certain outfit formulas work every time, but landing on the right combinations is often a process of trial and error. Luckily, we’ve consulted the It girls of Instagram to teach us a few lessons in pairing ankle boots with skirts so you can skip ahead to the good part: wearing your winning look. Scroll on...
Here’s Why Everyone Is So Obsessed With TikTok’s Latest Botox Trend
I’ll be totally honest. Even though I’m a beauty editor and love a good TikTok trend, I don’t actually get or recommend getting Botox, sorry. Obviously, it’s everyone’s own personal choice what they would like to do, but I think it’s also important to talk about the risks and potential side effects that come with getting a treatment like this. When it comes to Botox, they aren’t great—that’s why I’m not a huge advocate for it. Plunkett says, “Baby Botox may be less risky than Botox, but there is still a risk of undesirable side effects, as there is with any cosmetic procedure.” “Common side effects include swelling or bruising at the injection site, headache or flu-like symptoms, muscle weakness, dry mouth, and droppin...
Trust Me–These 15 Co-Ords Make for the Easiest Transitional Outfits
Even the quickest of glances at Instagram will tell you that co-ords continue to be big news in fashion circles. During the pandemic, knitted pairings came to the fore and have stayed strong ever since. Over this summer we saw an influx of linen two-pieces and now that autumn has hit, I’m pleased to say that co-ords—of every variety—are going nowhere. The reason they’re so enduringly popular? An easy yet chic all-in-one, a co-ord requires minimum effort while offering maximum style points. Along with their ever-growing popularity amongst influencers, co-ords are also firm favourites on the runway, with matching separates being spotted in Stella McCartney’s, Zadig & Voltaire’s and Ralph Lauren’s autumn/winter 22 ready-to-w...

H&M’s First Knits of the Season Are Here—These 35 Are Sure to Sell Out
Ask any fashion editor and they’ll reluctantly share that their secret to buying expensive-looking knitwear for fall is H&M. From oversize cardigans and turtlenecks to cashmere sets and rib-knit dresses, the Swedish retailer never misses when it comes to cozy, soft things that bring us comfort during the first chilly day of the season. Despite the fact that, in most places, it’s still far from sweater weather, fall is fast approaching. Knowing that, H&M did us a solid by dropping its first crop of comfy sweaters, dresses, and sets this week, offering 30+ covetable options for us to choose from. Ahead, shop the ones that I’m most excited about ahead of the forthcoming drop in temperature. And don’t ...
These 27 Autumn Wedding Guest Dresses Are Very Chic—You’ll Love Them
Is it just me or does it feel like you receive another wedding invitation in the mail every week? Thankfully, I love weddings, but they involve a bit of planning. How will I get there? Where will I stay? What will I get the happy couple as a gift? And, my favourite thing; what will I wear? Over the years, I’ve assembled quite the collection of wedding guest dresses, however, upon raking my rails for a dress for a wedding I have in late October, I soon realised that my current wedding guest-dress selection very summery. I’ve been to two autumn weddings in my time, but I was a bridesmaid with a dress provided to me at both, so I’ve never had to find myself a seasonally-appropriate outfit for an autumn wedding.

Autumn’s Biggest Hair Trends Are Here, But I’d Only Try These 10
More than any other season, there’s something about fall that makes me immediately want to experiment with hair trends. Whether that means picking up the scissors or changing shades, I’m never content with my fall hair unless I try something new. Luckily, it seems like everyone else agrees with me, as fall hairstyles are always the most enticing trends to try. This year, fall hair trends are taking major inspiration from the ’70s—think shag cuts, eye-sweeping bangs, and tons of long, bouncy layers. For hair colour, expect rich, luxe-looking shades that give depth to hair. I spoke with top hairstylists in the industry to get insider info on all the best hair trends that are coming at us this fall. Trust me—you won’t be disappointed. Before you book a s...
Celebrity Nail Techs Are Calling This Trend the Next Big Thing
We’ve seen a number of nail trends this year. From nail art to blue nails and the micro nail trends that are starting to trickle in as we enter a new season, we’ve always got our eyes out for the next biggest nail trend. As a beauty editor, I keep tabs on the best nail salons and nail technicians to see what trends might be the next big thing. We all saw how Hailey Bieber’s shimmering “glazed donut” manicure went viral on Instagram and TikTok, and while the trend is still going strong, I’m already anticipating the next nail trends that we’ll all be running to our local salons to book in for. After scrolling for a while, there is one trend that I’m starting to see everywhere. I can bet that it is set to make a hug...
The 5 Lesser-Known Byredo Scents That Are Guaranteed Compliment-Generators
If there’s one thing we love at Who What Wear, it’s discovering a new fragrance. Whether it’s finding our signature scent or finding out the fragrances that celebrities wear, nothing gets the office talking more than when a new perfume is spritzed. Fragrance is so personal to everyone. Some of my all-time-favourite fragrances are warm, woody or musky. I love Narciso Rodriguez For Her, Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka and Byredo Bibliothèque. They’re bold fragrances with an impressive sillage, so they tend to lend themselves more to the autumn and winter months. So as the colder months draw in, I have a seasonal pang of excitement at digging my favourite fragrances back out again. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

I Restyled 7 Summer Pieces to Work Perfectly for Autumn—Here’s How
Hands up if you’ve been both inconceivably hot and caught in the rain this week? Yes, the Great British weather has been treating us to a game of two halves for the last couple of weeks, putting us in a very tricky position when it comes to getting ready in the morning. A quick scan of the Who What Wear office on an overcast day last week showed a mix of corduroy, knits, summer dresses and sandals, and if that isn’t a sign that we’re stuck in fashion limbo, I don’t know what is. The one thing we can all agree on, however, is that we’re desperate to be in throes of a consistent, crisp autumn. (We just know where we stand with cosy layering.) So there’s only one thing for it. For as long as this unpredictable weather prevails, this season is...
