I’m Not One for Copying Outfits, But These 9 Instagram Looks Are Perfection
I’m not sure if it’s the fact I haven’t treated myself to anything new in a while or that we’re currently navigating that awkward period between seasons where the weather can’t seem to make up its mind, but lately, I’ve been feeling stuck in a style rut. However, with autumn rapidly approaching, I think it’s high time I pull myself out of my self-induced fashion funk and allow myself to get excited about cosy knits, luxurious layers and, yes, a pumpkin spice latte or two. Instead of buying a host of new pieces, I first want to shop my own wardrobe. I’ve been living in floaty dresses and linen shirting for months, so I know digging out my autumnal pieces will help my style feel fresher in a flash. But how to style them? I’ve been saving ...

Suddenly, Everyone’s Carrying Handbags in These Trending Colours
There are plenty of things to get excited about when a new season rolls around: updated routines, changing environments and, most thrillingly, fresh trends to sandwich into your existing—or in my case, overflowing—wardrobe. It seems to be widely acknowledged that autumn is a carnival for fashion enthusiasts. Perhaps it’s that it is simply *impossible* to dislike knitwear, or maybe something in our physiological makeup draws us to the deep browns and warm red tones that traditionally make up the autumn palette. This latter (completely unscientific) theory may be put to the test this year. Though classic hues are still welcomed, designers have gone all-out in the colour department for A/W 2022. From Valentino’...
Fairchild Photo Exhibit Features Vintage Shots of Musical Luminaries, From Grace Jones to Debbie Harry
On Friday (Sept. 9), the morning of the first official day of New York Fashion Week, which runs through Sept. 14, the Fairchild Fashion Museum launched its first New York City exhibition, curated by Women’s Wear Daily, Footwear News and Beauty Inc. (Billboard shares a parent company, Penske Media Corporation, with those brands.) Entitled “A Matter of Style,” the exhibition is a two-day pop-up event taking place Sept. 9-10 at AG Studios on 52 Walker Street. Among the dozens of photographs from the Fairchild archives on display are pictures spotlighting several musical luminaries who helped shape and define New York fashion over the decades. There’s a fantastic candid shot of Liza Minnelli speaking with Bianca Jagger during an event at the legendary Studio 54 hosted by fashion trend-setter H...
19 Cult Pieces I’ve Bookmarked for Autumn 2022
At Who What Wear, we’re constantly on the lookout for new cult items—especially those with staying power. Whether they’ve taken centre stage on the runway, been spotted on our favourite street style stars or popped up again and again on our Instagram feed, there are some pieces that we know have that special something to hit the big time. And with a new season come myriad new possibilities of what these cult items may look like. So what’s the criteria? It goes without saying that these pieces need to be as timeless as possible despite their trending nature. They might’ve exploded onto the scene fervently, but they’re certainly not the type of thing you’ll only wear once. They’re exciting, but not too trend-driven. Wearable, but not boring. Most importantly, they...

I Promise I’ve Done the Research– These Are the Best Products for Thick Hair
Having thick hair is always seen as such a blessing in the beauty world. ‘You’re so lucky, you have such thick hair!’ is the statement I always hear. It’s true, it’s something that I wouldn’t change about my texture but it’s definitely not all smooth sailing. No matter the texture or how you tend to style it, thick hair can become uncontrollable and can err on the frizzy side with the wrong products and care, so I’m always looking for the best products to style my thick hair. Another thing that often affects thicker hair is humidity. If you have thick hair that also has high porosity (this is when the cuticles of your hair let moisture in easily causing) frizz and lack of definition can be a huge problem plus, often this can mean that styles will drop out more easily. Before I got int...
I’m a Stylist— 7 Basics I Always Buy At This Time of Year
At the beginning of the season especially, you won’t often find me shopping for loud or statement pieces. I usually take this opportunity to take stock of what I already have, and what might be the most useful pieces to update or invest in to make my existing wardrobe work as hard as possible throughout the coming months. In autumn, that mostly involves topping up on layering items, refreshing crisp white shirts, and surveying which key coat or boot style I might be missing. Although these items might not be the most exciting purchases, in the past I’ve found that even just a few simple buys like this can really make the rest of your wardrobe feel much less tired as well. Keep scrolling, then, and you’ll find a helpful edit of the basic autumn pieces a fashion editor actually buys at...
These 20 Classics Are So Good You Won’t Need to Shop Again This Year
As we come to terms with retiring our summer dresses for another year, it’s time to make the most of the season ahead. Sure, autumn might not be the warmest, but with the change in temperature comes an exciting new prospect: the new-season collections. And trust us—there’s a lot to look forward to. Between knit dresses, leather blazers, miniskirts and maxi coats, this autumn is already shaping up to be a good one. But refreshing your entire wardrobe each season to keep up with trends can be time consuming and costly. So in a bid to help you shop wisely, we scoured the stores in search of the best place to head for affordable classics that you’ll wear time and time again. We found what we were looking for in Karen Millen. Always reliable for expertly tailored, quality piec...
I Just Found the Most Expensive-Looking French-Girl Shoes for £35 at M&S
Of course, as soon as I saw these shoes drop online, I snapped them up in both colours and then proceeded to see how many ways I could style them up. Inspired by the understated ways French girls always wear their favourite ballet flats, I loved them best with cropped jeans and tailored shorts. But they’d also look cute with miniskirts, skinny jeans, cropped tailored trousers and shirt dresses, to name a few. They’re the perfect workwear and weekend accessory. Scroll down to find links to shop Marks and Spencer’s new ballet flats. And if you love them as much as I do, be sure to add them to your cart sharpish, since we know from experience that M&S winners sell out in lightning speed. I’ve also shopped out my outfits and added some more of my favourite ballet flats below… You Des...
Honestly, These Boot Trends Feel a Little Dated—4 That Are So Much Fresher
Is there anything as gratifying as treating yourself to a new pair of boots come autumn? Opening up the box, pulling out the stuffing and getting a whiff of that fresh-boot smell? Just me? Moving swiftly on… Still, there’s no denying that boots form a pretty integral part of our aesthetics in the colder months. Over the past few years, I’ve made a point of making sound boot investments, choosing styles that prioritise timelessness over anything too trendy. However, that doesn’t mean that some boots don’t start to feel dated after a time—even pairs I know are pretty classic can lose their appeal after a couple of years in the midst of a flurry of new styles to choose from. This got me thinking—I know which boot trends I think are a little dated, but which boot t...
These Trending Autumn Haircuts Will Be the Most-Requested in Salons This Season
There’s something about this time of year that always makes me want to book into the salon for a hair change. Whether it’s choosing a new autumn hair colour trend or opting for a brand-new haircut, the possibilities are endless at the hands of a hairdresser. I’ve always worn my hair long, but I’m really feeling a hairstyle change this season. My appointment for balayage is booked, and I’m also considering some face-framing bottleneck bangs to switch things up a little. It’s fair to say that my Instagram Saved folder and Pinterest boards are filled with autumnal balayage and timeless bob haircuts. While I might not be brave enough to take the plunge just yet, I’m still totally obsessed with those shorter styles. However, if, like me, you&#...
