30 Feel-Good Summer Buys From & Other Stories, Mango and Arket
It’s so easy in autumn and winter to cosy up in simple knits and beige layers, isn’t it? But when the warmer months hit and the sun comes out, it’s the perfect excuse to embrace a brighter life. Even my own style—which I would characterise as classic minimalist most of the time—is starting to lean towards sunshine shades and Floridian prints right now. I blame the big summer energy that’s present on my social media feeds. Weddings are wild again, festivals are back in full swing and tropical far-off places are starting to feel closer to hand (if only through my iPhone screen for now). Although I’ll never be able to deny the dependable draw of a white or black summer dress, I’m so looking forward to experimenting with some smile-inducing pieces. Especially aft...
I’m A Fragrance Snob – But These High Street Fragrances Smell So Expensive
With brands such as Jo Loves (which was founded by fragrance royalty, Jo Malone) pairing with high street stores like Zara, high street fragrances has shed their sickly sweet reputation and have become seriously sophisticated. In fact, I think you can probably find a perfume dupe–or at least something very similar–for the most popular fragrances on the high street nowadays. So you don’t always have to break the budget to smell expensive. Whether you like clean smelling fragrances, fruity scents or want to find your signature perfume on a budget, high street brands H&M, Marks & Spencer, & Other Stories, The Body Shop and Zara are really leading the way for more affordable high street perfumes. To help you find your new high street fragrance, I’ve found the ...

J.Lo Wore the Trouser Trend That Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle Both Love
When a pop star, duchess, and fashion editor all agree on the same trend, you know it’s a good one. On Wednesday, Jennifer Lopez was photographed at the Avra Rockefeller Center for a party celebrating her new Netflix documentary, Halftime. She wore a pair of fabulously slouchy white trousers, which immediately made me think of looks from Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, and Emmannuelle Alt. Markle wore a similarly oversized white trouser suit to the Invictus Games reception back in April, while Kate Middleton wore her version of the baggy trouser trend on her royal tour of the Caribbean in March. To top it all off, my TikTok of two French fashion editors wearing coordinating billowing pants went positively viral with 2.3 million views and counting. With these chic w...
The 6 Expensive-Looking Trends I’m Buying at H&M This Summer
Here at Who What Wear UK we’re big fans of H&M at the best of times. This summer, however, the high street hero has outdone itself with a roster of chic trends and elevated wardrobe staples. From pretty throw-on dresses you’ll rely on all season long to linen basics that will be favourites in your collection way beyond 2022. H&M is proving tough to beat right now if you’re looking to keep your closet feeling fresh at an affordable price. Of course, just like with anything fast fashion, we suggest making high street buys just one small part of your wardrobe. It always pays to keep an eye out for resale or vintage items that could play the same role, as well as identifying the items you wear again and again and then investing more in them from...
33 Summer Dresses That Are Guaranteed to Make You Feel Good
At the top of our most-coveted list is & Other Stories’ puff-sleeve midi, which comes in cream, siren red and an exotic floral motif—the latter of which needs only heels and a clutch and it’s a perfect option for a statement-making wedding guest look.

Dakota Johnson Just Wore the Gucci Princess Shoes That Keep Selling Out
Anything that Johnson wears is something I ultimately want to wear, and seeing her in the Gucci crystal slingbacks cemented things for me. I need these in my life. And her sharp suit for that matter. If that wasn’t enough, Alexa Chung has also given the shoes her coveted seal of approval, styling them with a feather coat. Although I used to wear high heels a lot, post-lockdown, the idea of hobbling around in anything above 10 centimetres doesn’t appeal to me anymore. Instead, the low height on these fabulous Gucci shoes brings me joy. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

I’m Saying It—This Is the Only Nail Trend I’m Buying Into This Summer
Nothing says summer quite like a fresh set of nails. And while muted, clean-girl nails are all the rage right now, I can’t help but feel as though a change is in the air. And trust me, this is a bold statement for me to make. I haven’t changed up my nail colour in well over a year. I opt for a chic, barely-there shade every single time. But now that the sun is starting to shine through and the weather is hotting up, something is tempting me to go for something a little more daring, something bright. Whether it be an intricate nail art design or a simple, block-coloured polish, I don’t care what the design is—I just need it to be bright and out there. From hot pink and reds to neon yellow and greens, bright summer nails are all I want to see right now. In fa...
Katie Holmes Just Wore the Easy Uniform I Plan on Copying at Least Once a Week
Rarely does a celebrity have a hold on us sartorially in the same way that Katie Holmes does, especially in the last few years. Whatever she wears, whether it’s to stop into her local art shop or go out on a day date, we’ll pay attention to it. Usually, we’ll even copy it. Case in point: her latest look, which I personally have already bookmarked for plenty of future reference. For a summer day spent in NYC, the Dawson’s Creek alum paired our favourite trend for any season really, an oversize button-down shirt, with faded black loose-fitting jeans, retro trainers, and a Kate Spade tote bag that added just the right amount of colour to the low-key ensemble. Uncomplicated yet noteworthy, the look, like so many of the ones Holme...
The Key Swimwear for Summer Will Make You Want to Wear the Rainbow
If you’ve got a holiday on the cards, chances are you’re in full swing searching for the best swimsuits. With so many trends to get to grips with, from triangle string bikini tops to belted swimsuits and cut-outs, it can be a lot to get your head around. And then you have to find the swimwear brands that actually fit and flatter your shape. One thing’s for sure, though: No matter which style you go for, it’s all about bright, bold and joyful colours this year. Think every colour of the rainbow in block colours or prints, and you’ve nailed it. Some colours are of course proving to be more popular than others. But with influencer Emili Sindlev backing ocean blue, Karina Marriott going for soft lilac and stylist Nana Acheampong opting for a sartorial hit of vitamin D...
Trust Me, You’ll Want In On These Autumn/Winter 2022 Makeup Trends
As we head towards knitwear and boots season–my absolute favourite time of the year–we’ve really spotted a shift in makeup. Naturally, we usually transition our makeup with the changing seasons, but this time it’s not as literal as choosing an autumnal lipstick hue to pair with a roll neck, or packing away our bright eyeliners from the summer. Instead, the autumn/winter 2022 makeup trends this year lend themselves to more of a mood. After a long period of ‘clean girl’ makeup–i.e. no makeup-makeup– we’re now seeing a return to experimenting with lipstick, blusher and eye makeup again. Because makeup is about having fun, right? Bold beauty is back and we’re welcoming it with welcome arms. “I think after two years of masks we are all feeling...
28 Zara Pieces That Could Fool Anyone Into Thinking They’re Designer
Does anyone else see their online Zara basket as an extension to their daily social media scroll? Usually, I check Instagram, find myself in a TikTok hole and then head to Zara to dive into the ‘new in’ section and fill up my basket. And much like the other apps, I like to check back in regularly for any updates. Often, though, like trying to save an outfit you love on Insta before it refreshes, the Zara pieces do the same disappearing act. All the best bits have the innate power to sell out in record speed. So there’s no time to lose when you find the best bits. To save you all some time, I’ve spent hours (it’s my job, so let me off), searching for the most expensive-looking Zara items that are guaranteed to get the dreaded ‘out of stock’ sticker in no time. And with a high street price t...
