No matter the time of year, if there’s one piece in your wardrobe that you can consistently rely on to deliver, it’s a blazer. As trends come and go, and that impulse purchase waits at the back of your wardrobe for it’s moment in the sun, the blazer is a timeless buy that never goes out of style, and manages to be one of the few things I actively collect, knowing it’s a sound investment. I’m going to go ahead and say it–there is no outfit that can’t be immeasurably improved by a blazer. A big statement, yes, but I’m confident I’ve got the proof to back it up. A case in point are celebrity blazer fans Ashley Olsen and Hailey Bieber. When both paired an oversized blazer with a simple tee and jeans, it caught our attention. After all, ...
If there’s one brand I love shopping for autumn, it’s ARKET. While other affordable destinations can easily pander to of-the-moment trends when the new season arrives, ARKET always stays true to what it’s good at and leans into the classics—and I’d argue that there’s no better season to invest in those than autumn. Think tailored blazers over jeans and loafers, chic trench coats paired with crisp white shirts and wide-leg trousers, and midi dresses with knee high boots. That perfect not-too-hot, not-too-cold weather of autumn lends itself perfectly to a lightly layered outfit, which, after a summer of navigating a lot of skin on show, feels wholly fresh in itself. And certainly anything but boring. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined ...
When it comes to a designer purchase’s financial value, there are a few brands whose resale price can nearly match the original cost. (And in many cases, vintage finds can be worth even more.) So before you part with your money, it’s always a good idea to find the piece you love and think of its long-term wearability. Is it a trend-led statement piece, or is it versatile enough to work with your existing wardrobe? Do you trust the quality of the fabrication, and is it made to last? Finally, does the cost per wear justify the price? One brand that always manages to tick the right boxes is Prada and its meticulous craftsmanship and timeless tailoring (and the occasional eccentric twist). There are three particular Prada styles that we believe have true staying power and are worth...
Let’s be honest, sometimes it can be tricky shopping on the high street. For every well-priced hidden gem, there is a sale-shopping horror story, and whether you know exactly what you’re looking for or you’re just popping in for a quick browse, the sheer number of options in store can be overwhelming (and if you’ve got great crowds to contend with, it’s not always the most stress-free process). As I know your time is at a precious commodity and not best used queuing in the returns line, I popped into Mango this week to see what was new. From the last bits of high summer for those still heading abroad, to the first signs of the autumn/winter collection, there’s an awful lot to see, so I tried on as much as the staff would allow, and hand-pi...
David Beckham is known for his dapper dress sense, and now it looks as though his son Romeo will be raiding his wardrobe to adopt his dad’s style. The pair, who were holidaying on a yacht in Miami, both posted hilarious snaps of them dressed in bandana-print shirts and matching shorts from Dior that were the same, but different. David chose the black colourway, while Romeo opted for a dusty-rose hue. Initially, David posted a photo of himself on Instagram on 4 Aug wearing the silk shirt and sunglasses while relaxing in the sun, yet his caption hinted at the familial fashion wars. “Just relaxing in @dbeyewear 🌞 thanks @mrkimjones @dior for my 👕 I love it but Romeo already has his eye on it 😂 @romeobeckham it’s mine 💙” Lo and behold, a ...
Some people consider fashion’s never-ending cycle of microtrends to encourage wasteful shopping habits and to be unsustainable. Whilst that is absolutely a possibility, I think the issue really lies in how, not what, we decide to add to our wardrobes: It’s essential that whatever the item in question—microtrend or ultra-basic—needs to speak to you and your deepest personal style desires, and the purchase must be considered rather than induced by stress or pressure. If a TikTok aesthetic isn’t for you, feel free to move along. If a supposed wardrobe staple isn’t your jam, don’t feel obliged for it to be in your closet just because. The team at Who What Wear UK has long left behind the concept of items bein...
Even after five years, The Pouch is still top of fashion’s most-wanted list (proving just how smart an investment Bottega bags are). That said, some of Bottega Veneta’s other bags are nipping at its heels. Take The Jodie, for instance— no stylish wardrobe is truly complete without this woven sidekick these days. And, like the Pouch, it’s now gone way beyond cult It bag into the realms of a luxury classic. As such, we decided it was time to bring you a definitive edit of the best Bottega Veneta bags for your consideration— should you be in lucky position to have a few thousand to spare! From The Pouch to the Cassette, with a foray into the Arco along the way, keep scrolling to see and shop the best Bottega Veneta bags that have not only stood the test o...
If your pilgrimage to M&S to pick up Percy Pigs is a regular occurrence, you’re not alone. Next time you head in store, though, make sure you stop by the womenswear section because we’re here to tell you it’s not to be missed. Better still, sit pretty and let us introduce you to all the best bits online, instead. We’ve already told you about the versatile staples we always buy from the high street hero, and the linen buys we’re living in at the moment. But now it’s time to rave about the skirt section. A midi and maxi skirt haven, it’s their own brand styles that are gaining our attention. And we predict so many of them will be key pieces all the way into autumn. We’re talking luxe leather-look iterations to styl...
Perhaps this understanding of just how in-demand tailoring is right now made me double-take when I saw a chic waistcoat-and-trouser section in Net-a-Porter’s new arrivals section. Clicking through, I realised the waistcoat, in the sleekest shade of olive green and with a distinctive asymmetric fastening, was from Frankie Shop, a brand our regular readers will know that Who What Wear has a soft spot for. With its pared-back designs and minimalist silhouettes, French label Frankie Shop has become our go-to for elevated basics. It’s also a brand I wear as much as my bank balance affords me to. With a track record of its pieces selling out at lightning speed, I knew this waistcoat wouldn’t hang around for long. Adding to my Net-a-Porter wish list, I went to add the matc...

As a fashion editor, I get such a thrill discovering fresh trends. That said, when it comes to my personal wardrobe, my offering tends to skew on the simple side with a hefty assortment of basics. When I do go for it a bit more, it’s usually in the form of statement accessories. With all that in mind, I thought I’d bring you a curation of the specific staples I think could be true sartorial heroes in a wardrobe. If I’m being totally honest, I’d probably skip every new trendy item coming out in honor of the pieces coming your way. I just couldn’t give them up and truly think they are the backbone of a modern wardrobe. They’re all extremely versatile and could be styled in so many different ways.
