The topic of fashion aesthetics is my favourite to cover here at Who What Wear, as it lets me dive into little style worlds that I may not take a look at regularly. It seems like a new term to describe one’s style pops up on the internet every month, and while the looks behind each aesthetic aren’t revolutionary, coining a term can help others navigate each and pinpoint what works best for their own personal style. Narrowing the looks down to individual pieces can be overwhelming for some, so seeing them stylized for particular lifestyles can make them more accessible, especially for people who have trouble putting outfits together. I made my share of predictions for the aesthetics that would rule in 2022, and to my excitement, almost ev...
Hailey Bieber’s taste in shoes is pretty impeccable. Her style is so widely followed that she’s capable of turning a shoe style into a trend and new shoes into It shoes practically overnight. I’d say the latter is the trend in this instance. While she was in New York last week, one of Bieber’s many great looks for her trip included a 16Arlington dress that she paired with heels from a brand she’s worn on repeat occasions: Gia Borghini. (This particular one is from the designer’s most recent collection with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.) The shoes are a pair of black high-heel mules made of linen, featuring an angular square toe and a single strap at the base of the toes. Given Gia Borghini shoes and their track record with cele...
There are few things I love more than scrolling through Instagram, spotting a chic outfit on a stylish woman and then realising the look is actually affordable. Whether it be high-street, vintage or from an independent brand, there’s something so satisfying about knowing an outfit looks luxe and expensive, yet is totally within reach. This phenomenon has happened to me a few times recently, only to discover the outfits in question were from Mango. From check blazers to leather trousers and of course, an abundance of sleek tailored coats, Mango truly excels in quality designs that look much more expensive than they are. And between Sylvie Mus, Marianne of Smyth Sisters and Yoyo Cao, so many of the chic women I follow also tend to agree. Whether you’re on th...
I don’t know about you, but I love the start of a new season, particularly the start of autumn/winter. As the leaves turn to fiery orange, and we swap our summer footwear for winter boots, I can’t help but get swept up in that back-to-school feeling, pulling out my trusted knitwear and adding some new A/W trends to my wardrobe. Same for you? If so, it’s only natural that we’re also keen to update our hair as the seasons shift. While in summer, we might opt for lighter, golden hair colour such as balayage, in autumn and winter, it can be fun to embrace those warmer auburn and brunette shades. Nothing gives that back-to-school feeling like a brand-new haircut, and a big chop is a fail-safe for riddi...
With cute short sleeves, light fabric and a sweetheart neckline, the dress’s magic lies in how versatile it is. Pair it with trainers and a leather jacket for a pub garden or strappy heeled sandals and take it to a wedding or summer occasion with ease. But it’s also designed to suit a range of body types. Curves or no curves, boobs or not, the dress flatters in all the right places. Unsurprisingly, it’s already one of the most popular dresses we’ve featured on Who What Wear this season, selling like hot cakes when we got a glimpse of the summer weather to come. So when I walked past the store on my way to the office this week, I couldn’t help popping in and trying it on to see if it was as good in real life as it looks online. (Spoiler: It was.) If you’re thinking...
I didn’t mean to become the unofficial lingerie correspondent for Who What Wear, but somehow I seem to write about boobs a lot. It’s not that I don’t love underwear, I do, just as much as the next person, but it’s more to do with how much my own lingerie needs have changed over the years, specifically when it comes to bras. From wedding prep to being a runner, as well as pre-pregnancy, pregnancy and post-pregnancy, my bra size has run the gamut. Not only have I spent a lot of time trying various bras on, but I’ve also spent a lot of time chatting with the experts on what makes a great bit of lingerie.

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. On the upper end of the market, meanwhile, is Gabriela Hearst’s striking crochet maxi dress, which could not be a better encapsulation of holiday style—even if it’s just for wearing in your local park. Oh to dream. Then there are the cult cotton dresses worn by Jessica Skye and India of The India Edit, which, remarkably, are still in stock. But whatever your chosen summer aesthetic, you can trust us to bring you the best of the best. Scroll down to see and shop the 32 warm-weather dresses we’re...
It was a dreary winter, followed by a chilly spring, meaning we’ve spent the majority of the past few months dressing for comfort rather than pleasure. Between the spells of rain and unpredictable drops in temperature, it’s been easier to layer up in cosy knits in preparation for the next big turn in the weather. But the good news is, like a break in the clouds, summer is coming, and it brings with it longer days, sunny skies, and a steadily filling social calendar that you’re going to have to dust off your party shoes for. In celebration of the new season comes a splash of rainbow tones. As we throw open our wardrobes and begin optimistically planning outfits for fabulous occasions, such as weddings, holidays and parties, we intend to ...
If effortless style were an Olympic sport, Sienna Miller would take gold every time. Stepping out at the French Open, Miller paired trending barrel leg jeans with fresh white boots from high street brand Charles & Keith. It’s not the first time that Sienna has shown her love for this high street shoe brand and often mixes high-end and high street to form her timeless looks. What makes Sienna’s style so appealing? It’s easy to recreate on any budget. Though sightings of her may be sporadic, each time Sienna Miller is spotted, we at Who What Wear are sure to be won over by her laid-back-yet-polished style. Combining jeans and boots is nothing new, but the cut and colour featured in her latest ensemble certainly feels fresh. Sienna shows she’s attuned to trends by her recent lov...
Although jeans aren’t typically deemed summer wear, there’s something about an English summer (or lack thereof) that heightens my appreciation of the jeans and top formula. Like a throw on crew neck t-shirt or compact umbrella, denim looks are stored in the back pocket of my fashion archive, within easy reach for the construction of a laid-back look within moments. Jeans and top combinations are resolute, regardless of the season. It’s one of a few dependable items that exist amongst more frivolous fashion counterparts. It never fails to astound me how the simplest of pieces can carry the weight of an ensemble, and even improve it. It may be the foundation of a simple aesthetic, but jeans are the building block for trend-forward and off-duty looks. Denim appreciation is on ...
The best starting point, when attempting to deal with hair loss, is to take a look at the shampoo you are using. If your hair loss is scalp-related, it’s likely that swapping your current shampoo out for a specialist product aimed at hair loss will make a difference. “The health of your scalp plays a vital role in hair growth. Everything from scalp inflammation and microbial imbalances to genetics and hormonal sensitivities can impact the health of your hair follicles, and the hairs that emerge from them. Use daily topical products to help stimulate and protect your scalp from both internal and external aggressors, ” says Consultant Trichologist Anabel Kingsley. With that in mind though, it’s important to know the limitations of to...
I’ve finally narrowed down my warmer-weather outfits to just nine pieces. It doesn’t seem like very much, but all of these items are perfect for mixing together and creating different looks. Not to mention, I’ve included plenty of accessories. Sunglasses, a pair of sandals that work with everything, and a proper basket bag will do brilliant things for your outfits. Below, you’ll see the nine items I recommend that should be in everyone’s summer capsule wardrobe. Note that there’s no mention of swimsuits, as this isn’t for going on holiday, even if plenty of these pieces work for that, too. Rather, it’s for your day-to-day looks during the summer. Read on.
