I Just Know These H&M, Mango and Arket Boots Will Sell Out First
With the heat-wave breaking, and cooler days upon us, its clear that boot season is just around the corner. And lucky for us, high street stores haven’t held back in offering up their best boots just in time for the changing temperatures. When it comes to our autumn capsule pieces, alongside our trench coats and knitwear are reliable boots that we’ll wear from now through to spring. As much as we enjoyed sandal weather and will continue to wear our Birkenstocks around the house (and probably when popping to the shops), the move to autumn days calls for trusty boots, in whatever form you prefer. Classic flat boots will forever be a wardrobe staple, but other occasions allow for more freedom when it comes to footwear. For evenings, a heeled pair will elevate ...
This It Top Has Had an Autumn Makeover, and Everyone Is Wearing It
The weather may be indecisive, but we’ve made the decision to start incorporating a bit of autumn into our looks. Be it cowboy boots teamed with a linen dress, a trench with our miniskirt look or the most recent hero item: a knit tank top. The basic has been the most loyal item in our wardrobes for a few seasons, and this autumn, we’re not letting go. Instead of cooler cotton iterations, we’ll be opting for fine knit tanks, vests and cami tops to go with all our new-season trousers and skirts. We know it’s hard to think about knitwear while the weather is muggy, but this is the easy way to dip a toe into autumn without going full-on cashmere (just yet). You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagi...
I’m a Beauty Editor, and These Are the Only 10 Amazon Products I’d Actually Buy
There are a few things that I’ve come to rely on Amazon for: books (along with an intense feeling of immediate guilt that I should have purchased directly from a bookshop instead), emergency gifts for basically everyone before Christmas and weird household things like light bulbs and batteries that I always forget to buy when I’m at the supermarket. Beauty products? Never. While I might be something of a beauty purist—preferring to shop for my cosmetics IRL where I can swatch and smell or via knowledgable beauty web spaces like Cult Beauty, Space NK (and Who What Wear of course)—there’s no doubt that the popularity of Amazon in the beauty and cosmetics arena is ever-growing. In fact, in the U.S., Amazon is the fifth most popular destination for beauty purchases. You Deser...
These ’80s Hairstyles Are Having A Major Comeback
Trends come and go, but one thing that is for sure is that the fashion and beauty industries will forever look back to past decades for inspiration. Seventies and nineties hairstyles made a huge comeback recently, with curtain bangs and bouncy ’90s supermodel blowouts becoming more and more popular. However, when you think of trending hairstyles, the ’80s might not be the first decade that springs to mind. After all, it created a bad rap for perms, and it’s not a decade that the fashion and beauty industry typically looks back on fondly. Some trends like bold blusher and giant shoulder-pads are unlikely to hit the mainstream as they once did. However, the ’80s were a pioneering decade for haircuts and hairstyles. It is often know as the era for big hair, and wh...
These Colour Trends Are Going to Dominate the Rest of 2022
If you pay attention to social media or have familiarised yourself with our autumn/winter 2022 trend report, you’ll already know that pink will be one of the season’s hottest hues. And not just blush pink—instead, picture the brightest iteration you can imagine. There you go. But the fun doesn’t stop there! There’s also a shade of incredibly striking blue that I know fashion people will flirt with over the next six months, as well as a sleek update on summer’s obsession with bright yellow. However, sitting alongside them are some incredibly chic and versatile tones that, when you wear them, no word of a lie, will make you look rich. Like, old money rich. I don’t know about you, but that’s always my goal. Then finally, we’ll look at ...
Harry Styles Fans: Here’s How to Buy the Limited-Edition Pleasing Beach Bag
Image Source: Pleasing Stylers, get ready. At 5pm on Tuesday, 16 Aug, the sold-out Harry Styles Pleasing Beach Bag is back. Due to popular demand, a brand-new colourway of the super-roomy tote is being released following the huge success of the blue version. And Styles has already been spotted using it, so you can bet that dedicated fans will have their alarms set for the release to ensure they own this very crucial piece of Styles memorabilia. Consider this your official reminder to do the same. The 28-year-old One Direction alum famously loves a sturdy tote bag and was spotted back in March carrying one that caught the attention of eagle-eyed fans. Walking alongside girlfriend Olivia Wilde in London’s Soho, the “Harry’s House” singer was sporting a very stylish to...
I Love Zara, But These 6 Other Stores Are Just as Good
When shopping on a high-street budget, it’s all too easy to fall for the trend-smashing charms and regular arrivals at Zara. After all, we’re only human. The Spanish superbrand works fast and efficiently and never appears to miss a beat when it comes to the items we want in our wardrobes at any given moment. In many instances, Zara can be credited with setting retail trends that other affordable stores follow. (Remember when every brand scrambled to produce a loose-fitting polka-dot midi when that dress took off a couple of summers ago?) Right now, the store’s printed pieces look strong, and the autumn trends are giving many of us the feels. But there are other shops that provide the same level of inspiration and excitement. If you ...
I’ve Just Come Back From Copenhagen Fashion Week—These Trends Stood Out
It’s been a long, long time since I last attended Copenhagen Fashion Week and during that period the city’s fashion landscape has changed immeasurably. When I came many moons ago, influencers were barely a twinkle in the industry’s eye, the Scandi look still centered around a darkly-hued minimalism, and even Ganni was still relatively under-the-radar: Things have really changed and the schedule here is now as hyped as can be. Brands that don’t even originate from Denmark now fly their teams and collections in to capture the attentions of the new fashion capital’s coolest: Rixo and Rejina Pyo were just a few of the London-based brands in attendance, and it was a pleasure to see them in a different setting. The caché of Scandi-girl approval is now firmly up there with any...
9 Classic Items Fashion Experts Wear With Jeans to Make Them Look Polished
There’s no doubt that jeans are a wardrobe staple most of us would be lost without. They provide the backbone to so many outfits, and they’re especially perfect for throwing on during this strange time when we’re in-between seasons. As we near the end of summer but haven’t quite launched into autumn yet, I personally find myself repeatedly reaching for denim— to pair with strappy tops now while there’s still the chance of a sunny afternoon, and then I’ll add layers as time goes on. Versatile is an understatement when it comes to jeans, and in theory as well as being perfect for dressing down on relaxed weekends, they can easily be made to look really polished too. Whether you’re looking to dress them up for a date night or important business meeting, or you just like y...
This £50 H&M Blazer Is the Key to Looking Rich This Autumn
The blazer in question is a particular highlight, since it’s perfect for those slightly cooler days coming, thrown over your trusty T-shirt and jeans or favourite wide-leg trousers before you start to need a real coat. The best part is that it instantly elevates even the most casual outfit. Made using a smart boucle tweed-style fabric that is usually linked to high end luxury pieces, and with contrasting gold buttons, it’s bound to make you look rich whatever your salary. It comes in classic black and creamy white, but both are truly classic and will no doubt be fielding compliments and exclamations of disbelief for many years to come when you reveal its high street origins. The whole WWWUK team are obsessed, and currently the debate is raging as to which colour everyone plans o...
These 9 Nail Colour Trends Will Be the Most Popular in 2022
I don’t know about you, but I never get nail fatigue. In fact, as much as I love buying new makeup, switching up my skincare routine or trying something different with my hair, shifting my nail MO reigns supreme. Painting my nails has become my happy place, and while I absolutely love the boost a shiny new colour gives my mood and confidence, the actual process of painting my nails—or even going to the salon—is one of my favourite ways to wind down and turn the world off for a second. You know what I mean? I don’t typically buy into trends when it comes to my mani of choice (I’ll paint my nails any hue I damn well please, thank you very much), but that doesn’t mean I’m not interested in finding out which nail colours will pop more than others in...
This £35 Dress Has Thousands of Views on TikTok—Here’s Why It’s Going Viral
As it turns out, we owe a lot to the influence TikTok has had on our lives over the last couple of years. Like many others, I was quick to write it off as the home of dubious hacks and dance challenges, but it and its users have proven their ability to uncover hidden gems and turn unexpected pieces into overnight successes. We’ve had a particularly good spell of affordable dresses popping up on the app lately (Who could forget that Abercrombie smash hit?), and the latest piece doing the rounds on TikTok and Instagram comes from a very unexpected source: Amazon Fashion. And it’s proving to be an across-the-board hit with all of the editors in the Who What Wear office. The R.Vivimos puff-sleeved polka-dot dress has been gaining attention for its flattering fit...
