I’m Going to 3 Weddings This Year—I Tried on 21 Dresses and Loved These 10
I have never been so excited about wedding season. Emotionally speaking, I’m overjoyed that many of my friends who have had to postpone their weddings for almost two years are now getting to enjoy their big day. Sartorially speaking, it gives me the opportunity to finally put on a fancy frock and enjoy the love, fun, elegance and festivities that wedding season brings. To get prepared for the upcoming ceremonies I’ll be attending this year (one is a black-tie affair, and the others are cocktail and semiformal), I tried on a plethora of pretty dresses—21 to be exact—to find the three that speak to me the most. Today, I wanted to share the styles that particularly stood out to me and would be ideal for a variety of weddings or special summer soirées. Take a pe...

6 Festival-Ready Outfits You’ll Actually Want to Wear After the Event
Festival season is upon us, and whether you dabbled in a few last year or you’re back in the game for 2022, we could all do with some inspiration, right? Dressing for a certain occasion always seems trickier. For a wedding guest look, a dress is typically the fail-safe option. And for the races, you can most likely rewear said guest look. But knowing what to wear for festivals can be harder, as literally anything goes. This is why we’ve relied on some of the most stylish women on Instagram to see which looks could be worn for festivals. And the best part about each item is that you’ll style them throughout the rest of summer, too. So whether you choose a crochet co-ord teamed with a bikini you could also wear to the beach as India did or you go for a suede tassel jacket like...

If You Buy Anything This Summer, Make It This Chic 2-Part Outfit
If the warm weather has been distracting you from your Who What Wear reading lately, this one sentence should bring you up to speed: The fashion world is losing it over linen this summer. From breezy dresses to chic trousers, linen fabrications are cropping up in every product category. However, if there’s a piece that’s proving incredibly popular, hands down, it’s the linen shorts set. A move-on from traditional suiting, linen shorts sets are summer’s answer to co-ords. Breathable and versatile, they’re a dab hand in a heatwave but also bring polish to your seasonal outfit rotation. I’m especially loving how my favourite influencers are styling theirs, whether over swimwear or jersey basics and paired with trainers or sandals. Fashion types are don...

Even I Wouldn’t Guess These Expensive-Looking Handbags Are From the High Street
Ask any fashion-loving person what they have on their dream shopping wish list, and they’ll likely mention at least one handbag. What can we say? We’re suckers for beautiful accessories. A few years ago, you could probably guarantee that the bags at the top of our lists would come from one of the biggest designers—something like Loewe, Gucci or Chloé. And, sure, those super-high-end bags still hold a place on our vision boards for special occasions and major milestones. But recently, with designer bag prices rising higher and higher, there is now a space for premium-looking styles that sit at the more affordable end of the scale, and they’ve been wooing us in just the same way. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Date...
The Matches Sale Just Started, and It’s So Good
That’s why my heart started to beat a little faster when I saw MATCHESFASHION.COM had kicked off its summer sale this week with up to 50% off. At first glance, I knew this was going to be good—my fellow editors and I even exchanged very excitable Slack messages in disbelief at some of the pieces included. Now that I’ve scrolled through all 31 pages (yep), I can tell you with confidence this is Matches’s best sale yet. And it couldn’t have come at a better time. Just as the sun comes out and we’re heading into a “normal” summer full of events and holidays once again, this edit full of beautiful and versatile dresses, classic sandals and wardrobe staples is very, very welcome indeed. Sales can sometimes be overflowing with o...
This One Detail Makes Any Summer Handbag Look More Expensive
As a self-confessed handbag lover, I spend a lot of time looking through new season pieces. I trawl through fashion sites each day for work (and pleasure), and have noticed one particular theme emerging when it comes to handbags. Whether it’s crochet, weaving or macrame, it’s all about beautiful texture and intricate detailing. The best part? Textured bags are a trend that will truly stand the test of time. When adding a new handbag to my collection I need to know that the piece will work with my wardrobe for years to come. I’ve pulled together the best textured bags to match any look. Woven handbags that will complete your tailored office outfit, crocheted creations that are calling for summer dresses, and intricate macrame pieces t...
Sienna Miller Just Wore the Perfect Flat-Shoes-and-Jeans Combo
If effortless style were an Olympic sport, Sienna Miller would take gold every time. Stepping out at the French Open, Miller paired classic jeans with trusty flat shoes that marry timeless style and comfort with an ease that we are definitely ready to re-create. 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. Pairing baggy jeans with two-tone loafers, this look ticks off two major trends. With every appearance, Miller proves that a great look doesn’t have to be contrived, and best of all, it’s easy enough to emulate. We always say that a great wardrobe starts with great basics, and Miller’s style proves that there are plenty of ways ...
