This Arket Miniskirt Just Wowed All the Fashion People I Know
That is exactly what happened earlier this week when I first spotted Arket’s pink satin miniskirt in the new-in section. Bright, bold but still somehow incredibly elevated and chic, it was clearly a winner. Unsurprisingly, throughout the next couple of days, I saw links to it popping up on my fellow editors’ and influencers’ IG feeds, all waxing lyrical about how great the skirt was—especially for an affordable find. Like most people (I assume), I didn’t think I needed a pink satin miniskirt in my life, but now I’m almost certain I do. It also comes in black for the colour-averse out there—but I’m convinced either shade would end up being a really versatile wardrobe piece. The skirt is perfect for dressing up for evenings out thanks to the satin material or down with ballet flat...
7 Street Style Trends Dominating Copenhagen Fashion Week
Copenhagen Fashion Week may not be one of the big four but season after season it proves its importance to the industry. Buzzy new labels, cult brands and of course, heaps of street-style inspiration are promised when the Nordic brands hit the runway. Over the past few years, Scandinavian style has carved out its own sartorial identity and iconic brands have become internationally appreciated—think Ganni, Saks Potts, Stine Goya and Remain, to name just a few. Aside from watching what the coolest brands are bringing for spring/summer 2023, the fashion set look to the streets of Copenhagen for their inspiring outfits and clever styling. Attendees are just as influential as the shows themselves, and we’ve noticed a few trends in what the stylish S...
Millie Bobby Brown Reminds Us the Little Black Dress Is a Classic For a Reason
It’s been hailed as a must have for any capsule wardrobe, and “Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown has yet again showcased the simplistic sophistication of the little black dress. Looking effortlessly chic as she attended the Samsung Galaxy Creators Lounge Event in New York City on 10 Aug., she stepped out in a lace-trimmed Louis Vuitton minidress straight from the spring/summer 22 catwalk. The 18-year-old gave the timeless look a modern twist. The double spaghetti straps and V neckline were designed with a bubble hem peplum at the waist as the silk fabric skirt was finished with a lace trim. She paired the loose fit dress with chunky black patent Mary Jane platform heels that perfectly offset the floaty frock, accessorising with a simple gold chain necklace, hoop ea...
22 Pictures That Prove the French Bob Is the Chicest Haircut to Have Right Now
If you’re thinking of changing your hair and going for the chop, you might be considering a number of haircuts. We’re here to help you find some inspiration, and where better to start than the bob? If you haven’t already succumbed to this shorter style in the last few years, you’re a stronger person than we are— at least half of the Who What Wear UK team had gone for the snip. Long bobs and blunt bobs have all had their moments but the most recent cool-girl hair trend? The French bob. If you’re after something drastically different but still guaranteed to be chic, this is the style for you. But what defines a French bob, we hear you ask? Well, the original is sharply cut somewhere between the cheekbone and the chin—think Amélie— but more modern takes can fall any...
Whenever My Skin Needs a Glow Boost, This Is the One Product I Turn To
You can ask anyone I know—anyone, even my dad, who I’m certain still thinks cold creams are the height of skincare and who uses three-in-one hair, face and bodywash—what my favourite skincare ingredient is, and they will say vitamin C. It’s the game-changer ingredient that has helped me get the skin of my dreams. I struggle with hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, and adding vitamin C into your skincare routine is one of the best ways to tackle both. And the easiest way to add it into your routine without needing to add more steps? A vitamin C moisturiser. “Vitamin C is a fantastic ingredient to add to your skincare routine,” agrees Bianca Estelle, skin specialist and medical aesthetician. “In fact, it’s one of my favourites. It’s a powerful antioxidant with a multitude of be...
French Haircuts London Girls Are Asking for Right Now
In my job as a beauty editor, I speak to hairstylists on the daily to find out what hair trends are big news. And hairdressers and salons always deliver the best insights. Whether it be autumn/winter hair colour trends that we need to know about, to the trending haircuts the the fashion set are booking in for. While we might see hair trends crop up on social channels like Instagram and TikTok, it might not always be reflective of what hairstyles are really trending. Busy salons, however, see first-hand the haircuts and hair colours that people are booking in for, and these really are the beating heart for hair trends. What’s more, choosing a new haircut can be an overwhelming task. You might want something low maintenance, or maybe you’re looking for some sh...
7 Items Our Editors Would Never Buy From H&M
I don’t want to speak on behalf of my colleagues, but I think it’s safe to say that H&M is one of our favourite high-street brands, and we know the same goes for you. It’s one of the most-clicked stores we feature, so we’ve made a conscious effort to cater to your H&M appetite with our expensive-looking edits and is-it-worth-it roundups. Today, however, we thought we’d approach the subject of H&M a little differently. No brand is perfect, and certain stores do specific pieces better than others. We’ve already chronicled such thoughts on Zara, but now, we’ve decided to reveal which items we avoid buying from H&M in favour of other shopping outlets.

5 Haircuts That Don’t Do Thin Hair Any Favours—and 5 That Absolutely Do
If you have fine or thin hair, you might be thinking about what haircuts are best suited to your hair type. With so many haircut ideas online and on social media, it can be tricky to know where to start. All hair types and textures come with their own challenges, but for thin or fine hair, it can be difficult to create lasting volume and shape. That is why choosing the best haircut for fine hair is essential. It lays the groundwork to maximise your hair to its full potential. With the right haircut also comes less styling time and hair that looks perfectly suited to you and your lifestyle. And who doesn’t want that?

If You’re Petite, May I Recommend These 21 Amazing Wedding Guest Dresses?
Being 5’4″, I’m (nearly) considered as petite when it comes to shopping. With the specialist category created for people 5’3″, and shorter, it’s ideal if you need items such as jeans and dresses to be not as long as mainline sections. Although I can of course still shop the non-petite sections, often midis can reach into maxi territory, and well, maxis become a trip-hazard. A tip if you’re perusing dresses online is to look at the description for the model’s height. This way, you’ll be able to see where the hemline lands on them and work out where it would roughly be on your frame. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

I Asked Over 2000 Women Where to Buy the Best White Shirts—They Rate These 16

It’s so easy to wear on the weekend and while working from home. It’s perfect for a night out (when we have them) but also a night in watching Netflix. It’s the ultimate classic to have in one’s arsenal, and whether it’s oversized or fitted, linen or poplin, there are endless ways this classic piece appeals and can be rendered.

TikTokers Say This Sandal Style Is Out—Here’s What I Wear Instead
Not to sound like a belligerent old bore, but I’m getting a bit tired of social media movements that decree something in fashion or beauty to be “over” or “out.” It strikes me as ironic that the democratisation of fashion can lead to less individuality rather than more. In the latest installment of things TikTokers don’t like is an unassuming and really quite practical pair of sandals that I’m sure 95% of you will own. I have some. Most of my friends have a pair. Pretty sure my mum does too. And perhaps that’s the problem. A simple pair of two-strap sandals (you know the kind with a block heel, a front strap and an ankle strap) are supposedly naff and—worst burn of all—cheugy. There’s no denying that the simple shoes—popularis...
