10 Styling Ideas We Have Saved on Instagram to Copy This Summer
Every day, with just one click of a button and a quick scroll, we can find a healthy dose of fashion inspiration and new outfit ideas to give our wardrobe a new lease of life. Instagram has become a smorgasbord of stylishly clad people documenting their latest styling tricks, and it’s the perfect resource if we’re ever lacking in style inspiration. There’s no denying that this year’s trends have been unapologetically bold. Between the micro mini, the Y2K revival, stitched knits and perforated silk, there is most definitely an explorative play on cuts and fabrics. As much as they’re adored, they’re not the easiest styles for day-to-day wear. Thankfully, our favourite influencers are showcasing myriad ways to style the runway’s best-loved trends this season. Take the mic...
Prince Louis Just Stole the Show Wearing Prince William’s Outfit From 1985
The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee has whipped London into a royal fervor and I’m reveling in all the amazing images coming in. While the Duchess of Cambridge typically attracts the most fashion attention, today it was Prince Louis who stole the show thanks to his adorable hand-me-down outfit. He wore a sailor-inspired top on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during the Trooping the Colour parade—the very same one that his father, Prince William, wore to the same event back in 1985. How cute is that? Oh, and his funny faces certainly caught the eye of the photographers as well. Meanwhile, Kate Middleton re-wore a white Alexander McQueen coat dress along with sapphire earrings and a necklace from Princess Diana’s jewelry collection. She finished the look with a st...
I’ve Finally Bought Summer’s Designer It Bag, and I Don’t Regret it
I’ve always loved the look of a basket bag, but as a small (often micro) bag fan, I just didn’t think I would wear it that much. I was wrong. They go with absolutely every outfit, I can carry so much in it without having to bring a grubby canvas tote wherever I go, and a straw bag just feels like summer. Sure, the designer styles are an investment, but considering you’ll wear them with every outfit, each summer, for the rest of time, I can vouch for the fact they’re worthy of the splurge. So, keep scrolling to see the other designer basket bags that are firmly on my wish list. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

I Can’t Believe How Expensive These Under-£100 Summer Buys Look
As we’re heading into warmer days and those balmy evenings,, it’s finally time to start considering our summer wardrobes with some actuality. So, while scrolling through all the new-in sections of my favourite affordable brands recently, I’ve started to pull together an edit of the best items that come in under £100 (i.e. my summer wish list). Whether you’re jetting off on holiday, maybe for the first time in a few years, or looking forward to a great British summer full of Pimms and park dates— there’s something here for every occasion. And just because they’re affordable, doesn’t mean they’re any less classic either. I’ve thought long and hard about which pieces are truly worth your money, as well as those which make your money work hardest. Particularly those transformative items w...
5 Bank Holiday–Ready Outfits We Want to Wear Now That Summer Is Here
Good news, everyone! It looks like this bank holiday is finally going to usher in the start of summer. I mean, it’s about time, too. In true British style, it’s going to hover around 19ºC or 20ºC, which means it’ll be pretty warm in the sunshine but cooler in the evenings. That’s tricky outfit-wise but not impossible. The key is to be savvy with your layers and smart with accessories, something we happen to be very adept at. Also, it always helps that all our favourite influencers have been wearing chic yet versatile get-ups over the last few weeks, so the inspiration is not in short supply. My number one bank holiday–ready look has to be Nicole Ocran’s fabulous printed co-ord, which is not only super easy to style but ...

Chanel Bags Are Super Valuable—Why Experts Think Now Is the Time to Buy One
Of course, most would probably say they’d like to buy the classic Chanel 2.55 flap bag. The iconic piece was first created by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel herself when she got fed up of carrying her bag in her arms. To free herself up, she decided to borrow the idea of having straps, which she’d seen on a soldier’s bag. As per everything else Chanel created, it was a revolutionary take on the item, as up until that point, women carried their handbags. The 2.55 bag was launched in 1955, hence the name. However, it wasn’t until the ’80s, when Karl Lagerfeld took the helm, that the double-C locks were introduced. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Maisie Williams Channels Her Inner Punk for the “Pistols” Press Tour
Maisie Williams certainly understood the assignment when it came to dressing for the “Pistols” press tour. The 25-year-old, who stars as Pamela “Jordan” Rooke in Danny Boyle’s six-part series about the turbulent years of British band The Sex Pistols, has been promoting the show wearing a number of looks that the punks would be proud of, and we are here for it. Fresh from the Met Gala, Williams attended the UK premiere last week wearing a gothic lace gown complete with intricate beading. Her iconic bleach-blonde hair was swept into a bun with rebellious spikes sprayed to stick out in order to keep her look from being too safe. With bold black eyeliner and those bleached eyebrows, Williams was the epitome of rockstar glam. And her punk-inspired wardrobe didnR...
I Usually Wear Minimal Jewellery, But I’m Swayed by This Retro Trend
While I mix up my outfits depending on my plans (read: if I’m actually leaving the house), when it comes to jewellery, I tend not to deviate from my six rings, two chain necklaces and small hoop earrings. Some may say boring; I say classic. Jewellery has the power to become a part of you, and I don’t feel like I’m fully dressed until I put on my usual suspects. If I’m going to a wedding or have evening plans, sometimes I’ll go totally wild and switch my hoop earrings to a bigger pair, but that’s as adventurous as I usually get. Of course, I’m always willing to try out new trends, though, and my wardrobe will consist of prints, colour and even miniskirts this season. And while sticking to my minimal jewellery feels comfortable, some recent Instagram posts have made me want to bran...
I Have Stressed Skin–But This Is The Skincare Brand I Always Come Back To
One brand that always delivers is ELEMIS. It is highly regarded for its cult Pro-Collagen Marine Cream and Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm (there isn’t a member of the Who What Wear Team who won’t sing this cleanser’s praises). ELEMIS’ moisturisers are probably my favourite, though, as I find the formulas really nourish my skin and leave it feeling strengthened and soothed. I was already a fan of the Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix which leaves skin bouncy and soothed as I wake up, so when I heard that I daytime version was launching, I was very excited indeed.
