These Are the Only Jacket Trends That Matter This Autumn
I’m afraid to say it, but the days of leaving the house without so much as a knitted layer are over. September has arrived, and with it, we know autumn isn’t too far behind. I, for one, welcome the impending seasonal shift with open arms. Why? The jackets, of course! I love jackets—in fact, I’d go as far as to say that jackets are one of my favourite things to shop for. Between blazers and bikers and some more unexpected iterations thrown in for good measure, nothing gives me the same satisfaction as investing in a jacket that will snatch all of my outfits. Now, you might be wondering which jackets feel the most current for 2022. I asked myself this very question last week, so I set about finding the answer. After hours of research (read: scrolling), I can discern that be...
I’m a Midi-Skirt Aficionado—Here Are All the Ways I’ll Wear Mine This Autumn
There are few pieces that are true wardrobe staples, but it is safe to say that the midi skirt is definitely one of them. No matter the season, its versatility and simplicity ensure it remains on the rail year-round. Plus, while minis and maxis haven been making a comeback, you can rest assured the humble midi skirt is still current, with many designers incorporating it into their autumn 2022 ready-to-wear collections. Chanel dished out retro plaid styles, Stella McCartney wowed with bright satin, and Balenciaga went down the pleated route. Whether you’re looking for a chic and polished date-night look or something more relaxed for the weekend, the midi skirt is the perfect foundation to many a stylish outfit, with the ability to be dressed up or down wit...
The Knitwear at COS Has Our Full Attention—These 24 Pieces Caught Our Eye
Anyone else ready to swaddle up in cosy jumpers? We’ve had a blast this summer and soaked up every minute of the sun, but there’s something about autumn clothes that has our heart. The trench coats, the leather boots and, of course, the knitwear. And if COS has anything to do with it, your knits will be your most-loved items this year more than ever. We all know the high-street favourite nails tailoring, creates the easiest throw-on dresses and has impressive accessories. But it’s the sweaters, cardigans, knitted vests and dresses that have our undivided attention in the new-in section right now. We’re talking a striped jumper that’s set to be the next It Instagram buy, a half-zip style you’ll layer over every roll-neck top, and tank...
Trust Me—These 15 Perfumes Do the Most Come Autumn
Don’t get me wrong. I am a summer baby through and through. I like the heat, I like floaty clothes, I like sun-kissed strands, I like freckled noses, and I really like the pared-backed beauty routine that so often comes with summer months. For the most part, I’m willing to say that I sort of loathe waving goodbye to summer. Except, that is, when it comes to my fragrance collection. It sounds like an odd thing to say, I know, but the one thing that gets me really excited for autumn is surrounding myself with the seasonal scents. I’m an inherently cosy (read: lazy) person, and something about being snuggled up warm inside, enveloped by creamy, spicy scents makes my typically sun-drenched heart feel a little bit giddy.

The 6 Affordable Trainer Styles Fashion Experts Always Wear
We bang on a lot about trainers here at Who What Wear, but we don’t need to justify that. No longer for simply working out, sporty footwear is now just as commonplace during fashion week as it is at the gym. The phenomenon for cult sneaker styles is perhaps at its peak, what with queues round the block for the newest Yeezy’s, and waiting lists longer than Hermès for the latest Aimé Leon Dore collab. But when it comes to styles fashion people actually wear on repeat year after year, there are some classic sneakers which a) you don’t have to know someone to get hold of, b) won’t cost the same as a museum-worthy art piece and c) will never date. There’s a reason, after all, why brands like Converse, and Adidas can now be considered iconic...
I’m a Candle Snob, But I’m Obsessed With These Marks and Spencer Candles
My name is Eleanor, and I’m an accidental candle snob. If you could take a peek into my home, you’d find Jo Malone candles mingling with Diptyque atop my fireplace, and Bella Freud and Boy Smells dotted around my flat. I’m lucky in my job as a beauty editor that I’ll often receive new candles to test. However, I’m aware I have developed very expensive taste. While I might occasionally buy an expensive candle every now and then (I’ll forever buy Diptyque’s Noisetier candle, and I practically ration my Byredo Bibliotheque one), if I weren’t in my line of work as a beauty journalist, I wouldn’t have the money to burn on the really expensive candles. So I decided to find the best high-street candles that won’t break the bank or c...

I Scrolled Through 4000 New-In Items From ASOS, and These Are the Best Bits
When it comes to shopping online, the sheer number of options can be seriously overwhelming. Without the ability to browse in-store and narrow down your options, you have to be ready to commit a lot of time to scrolling, and if you’re looking for a quick lunchtime fix or an easy browse, that can be a big ask. As one of my favourite compliments has always been “You found that where?” I’m known for my patience when it comes to rooting through the virtual rails of the online shopping world. Unearthing gems has become somewhat of a full-time hobby, and I want to put it to good use—helping you find some of the best pieces that the internet has to offer, all at the click of a button. And the first shopping destination on my list is affordabl...
I’m a Fashion Editor in my 30s—These are The 6 Autumn Trends I’ll Actually Wear
Although I love summer for the weather, I prefer autumn outfits. It’s more fun to play with layers, and I’m not afraid to admit that new boots are my weakness. With autumn/winter 22 trends trickling in, I’ve got my wishlist at the ready. But considering I stick to what suits my style, rather than just having to wear the latest trend, I’m very specific about the ones I choose to update my wardrobe. While I’ll be swiping left for anything bohemian— as spotted at the likes of Altuzarra and Hermés— I’ll be saying a firm yes to Valentino hot pink, leopard print and, surprisingly, rhinestones. (I’m not usually a sparkly kinda person, but this one has got me hook, line and sinker.) And as someone in my early 30s, I’ll be steering away from som...
19 Chic Medium-Length Hairstyles That Just Make Sense for Women Over 45
As we get older, it’s only natural that we lean towards hair changes. If you’ve sported a long, straight look for most of your adult life, it’s totally normal to want to chop it all off into a shorter style as you start to creep towards your 50s. This is normal not just because tastes and fashions change but also because, much like our skin, our hair ages too. “At the scalp, we may find dryness, sensitivity and slackness, and in the hair, we may see dullness, brittleness and thinning,” says Nicky Lazou, Kérastase expert and celebrity hairstylist. For these reasons, switching up your signature hairstyle with age is a very common, and often necessary, change to make. The problem is that when hair is going through this transition, it can...
6 Classic Autumn Outfits I Reach For Every Year
I love autumn. As summer comes to a close, the mere mention of browning leaves and creamy hot cocoa is enough to send me rummaging through my wardrobe to rediscover all my cosy cold-weather clothes. Goodbye, cotton dresses and strappy sandals. While I’m always careful not to unnecessarily add to my ridiculous mountain of knitwear, I can’t help but take a peek at which fresh trends are emerging this time of year and how my favourite designers are interpreting them. No doubt about it: This year’s trends are good. So good I’ve composed a fantasy wish list that would likely cost the value of a small house to fulfil. But as someone who describes their style as classic when asked, I’m forever on the hunt for investment pieces that I know I’ll get endl...
There’s a New Dress Trend in Town, and It’s What I’ll Be Wearing for Autumn
If there is one thing we will always remember about summer 2022 (the prominence of Crocs aside), it will be the return of the mini. As one Miu Miu micro skirt kicked off a wave of teeny-weeny miniskirts that the street style set took to with great enthusiasm, it wasn’t exactly the most wearable trend to make its way off the runway. If you’re like me, the mini wasn’t top of your wish list in summer, and I have good news for you. There’s another hero hemline this autumn, and it’s the antidote to the micro mini. The modest maxi may look simple and elegant, but it is anything but boring. From ACNE Studios to Alaïa, Chanel to Givenchy, sweeping black maxi dresses dominated the autumn collections, and unlike the other great season...
