6 Common Thin Hair Mistakes Hairstylists Want You To Avoid
Thin hair can be difficult. And the thing is, much like how one skincare product might work for your friend, but won’t agree with your skin, the same goes for hair products and hair thickening advice. Different hair tips and tricks will have varying success among hair types and textures. For instance, I’ve watched friends create tumbling, voluminous waves using a hair straightener on their hair, but when I try to replicate it on my own hair, the curls will never hold (I personally find a hair wand or tong will give me long-lasting curls). Therefore, if you’re looking for ways to make fine hair look fuller, it can pay to experiment with different techniques to see what works for your unique hair. However, there are some thin hair principles th...
Spirituality, Sanditon and Style—Rose Williams Is a Woman of Many Facets
Williams’s track record and the way she presents today certainly speaks to her confidence, but when I ask about self-assuredness, she’s quick to qualify that, like many of us, there are often two mental streams at play. “There are my thoughts which are not confident and are very insecure and are very like ‘you’re shit’ or the classic ego mind of ‘you’re not good enough,’” she says. On the other hand, she feels herself pulling the steering wheel consciously in the opposite direction. She references an old proverb about two wolves and choosing which one you feed and says she practices daily to be conscious of which wolf is getting all the attention. A butterfly tattoo on her wrist was a lockdown investment and is a constant reminder of how the last few years have prompted deep transfor...
These 15 Items Are the Definition of “Cult Buys” This Summer
A Who What Wear Summer Issue wouldn’t be complete without a bumper shopping guide, so before we had even decided who our cover star would be or what trends our team would be trying IRL, we knew we’d be bringing you a primer on the cult items for 2022. Gone are the days when It items are solely dictated by a celebrity endorsement or a moment at fashion week. Now, these pieces appear to emerge from almost nowhere thanks to a brand suddenly gaining traction on Instagram or TikTok. This list includes the big-player luxury fashion brands you might expect, such as Loewe, Chanel, Prada and Hermès. But it was, as always, very important to us that we also featured those small-but-mighty brands that are getting support from some of the biggest editors, buyers and influence...
I Own So Many Blazers, and This Is How I’ll Be Styling Them for Summer
Chances are you own at least one blazer. Right? The last time I checked, I had over 10 colours, prints, shapes and styles. While I stick to heavier wool versions (like that & Other Stories style) for cooler months, when it comes to summer, I’m all about oversized or linen iterations. And I’m in good company, seeing as so many of my favourite fashion influencers have also been championing these warm weather–appropriate styles. As a cool cover-up that won’t make you overheat, it’s the perfect “Should I pack a jacket?” item to wear as a layer during unpredictable summer weather. So to help me, and you, feel inspired with ways to wear the blazers in our wardrobes, I’ve rounded up nine outfits I’ve seen on Instagram recently that are super easy to imitate. Whether it’s stylis...

Simone Ashley, Jorja Smith, and Lila Moss Attend Out-of-This-World Jacquemus Show
When French fashion label Jacquemus puts on a show, the world sits up and takes notice. And all eyes were on the autumn 2022 show that took place on 27 June in Camargue Park in the South of France. Guests, including Simone Ashley and Jorja Smith, descended upon the otherworldly location to get a first glimpse at the new Le Papier collection. Founder Simon Porte Jacquemus’s show was a sea of neutrals, creams, and whites as models walked the crystal-salted runway. With a space-age vibe the looks were made up of deconstructed jackets, loose-fitting cargo pants, and cutout shirts. Lila Moss, 19, made her debut for the brand, and it’s clear to see her following in her mum Kate Moss’s footsteps. Plus, she flew straight to the South of France after a wild weekend at Glastonbury ...
We Went Outfit-Hunting in the South of France—These 16 Looks Wowed Us
One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is overseeing our monthly street style photo shoots. For over a year, we’ve closely documented the stylish goings-on of people around the country. From the inherently cool ensembles styled out on the cobbles of Brick Lane in London to the layered-up looks captured in the narrow, winding streets of Edinburgh’s Old Town, spotlighting what people are really wearing in real time has become a passion of mine, one that gives me significantly more satisfaction than scrolling on social media. That might come with its fair share of entertainment value, but there’s only so much that I can take away from the outfits snapped through a filtered lens. If I want to adopt a look for myself or add something similar to my wardrobe, I like to take...
Well Done, H&M—I Want Everything From Your Summer Drop
I love a good bit of minimalism in the summer. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not averse to bright colours, but there’s something so chic about wearing muted tones in the heat. This year, as I won’t be heading overseas, I want to pretend I’ll be on the beaches of Ibiza or the Cote d’Azur, and H&M’s latest summer collection is going to help me do just that. The sun seems to be hanging around (I’m just as surprised as anyone) so light layers and floaty dresses are needed to fill the gaps in my summer wardrobe. Of course, I’ve found a selection of pieces that can be worn all year round if you layer them right, and some great staple pieces that you’ll find me in whatever the weather.

I’m a Fashion Expert—Here Are 30 Elevated Pieces Worth Buying This Summer
I’ve worked in the fashion industry as a stylist and editor for close to a decade, so I’d say by now I’m pretty confident in spotting a great wardrobe buy when I see one. Over the years, I’ve seen trends and cult items come and go, experimenting with some along the way. No doubt they were fun while they lasted, but these days, I’m much more about investing in elevated pieces that I know will stand the test of time, whether that means pinpointing the most expensive-looking high-street finds or saving up for luxury pieces I truly love. It can be so easy in summer to get carried away with the influx of cheap prints and playful designs that pop up, but taking a step back and considering what might have a seasonal sell-by date is so important if we’re going to cu...
8 Trending Summer Beauty Looks Our Editors Are Obsessed With
If you ask me, summer is the ideal time to switch up your beauty routine and experiment. This year, I believe this to be particularly true. After two summers of restrictions, summer soirées, festivals and holidays are firmly back on the agenda, and there’s a celebratory mood in the air. As such, we’re seeing this reflected in beauty trends. Models at MSGM’s and Versace’s S/S 22 shows were sent down the runway with vivid green eyeliner, which feels so right for festival season, and colourful hair accessories have made a major comeback amongst the fashion set this season, as seen on the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy and on the runway at Max Mara. In nail salons, everyone is opting for colourful nail art right now, and rightfully so. Who doesn’t want a dopamine hit on their fingertips? “With...
I’m on the Hunt for Anti-Trend Sandals—Here Are 25 I’ve Seen and Loved
This summer, though, I’m making a conscious effort to really think through any purchases I make. I’ve recently done a spring clean of my wardrobe and realised the pieces I love most and turn to year after year are the anti-trend classics. Especially since entering my 30s, I’m really leaning towards those more grown-up, timeless pieces—you know, the kind that chic 50-year-old French women have been wearing for years. And so, when it came to picking which sandal tribe to join this year, I decided to go against the grain and back to basics. I’ve been searching for a pair of minimalist leather sandals with no chunky buckles, padding or flatform soles, just a classic style I’ll feel confident pulling out year after year.

The Chicest Celebrity Outfits We’ve Spotted Courtside at Wimbledon
Whether you’re a fan of tennis or not, there’s no denying that Wimbledon is one of the most exciting, and not to mention most stylish, moments in the British social calendar. The tournament will see the sport’s top athletes descend upon SW19 and consistently makes for some thrilling summer viewing in the process—something made all the more enjoyable with a glass of fizz and some strawberries and cream to hand. The appeal of Wimbledon is so great that many top-tier celebrities will flock to take in the matches—and wearing an impressive outfit is part of that. Unlike Ascot or other traditional events, there’s no Wimbledon dress code that spectators have to adhere to; the only guidance is to dress smartly. This means we get to see celebrities wearing outfits they genuinely want to wear a...
