These 7 Cardigan Outfits Are Super Easy to Style
Long gone are the days when cardigans were solely associated with mature styles of dressing. Now they’re a hero piece of their own accord and one of the foundations of a capsule wardrobe. With the likes of Khaite honouring this understated item, the humble knit has now well and truly conquered the high street and designer brands. Now the value of a chunky or lighter knit cardigan is apparent. They can be worn several ways, whether that’s thrown over the top of a look, or cleverly integrated as the star feature. They’re easy to build outfits around and make for cosy, transitional add-ons. Springtime cardigans are investments. They can build an outfit entirely or accessorise a look. The same goes for diluting formal dressing. They act as a barometer for taking an outfit in any direction–day,...
I’m Calling It—These Will Be the 9 Biggest Bikini Trends of the Summer
Unlike our contemporaries who live in warmer climates year-round, our window for bikini wearing is significantly smaller—usually two weeks in the height of summer when we jet off somewhere. Still, that doesn’t mean we can’t (and don’t) make the most of this opportunity when it presents itself. Arguably, we Brits might give our swimwear even more consideration, as our time in them is significantly shorter but, my, so sweet. Putting one-pieces to the side for a second, let’s concentrate on bikinis—specially the bikini trends 2022 has to offer. There can be a drastic shift between bikini trends year on year; for example, last year’s obsession with the ’90s high-leg silhouette seems to have quietened somewhat. So which bikini styles feel fresh for summer 2022? Th...
I Just Found 25 Expensive-Looking Summer Pieces From Warehouse
As a fashion editor, I’m always on the look out for those special pieces that truly make your wardrobe work harder. You know, those easy to wear classics you can turn to on any given morning and feel 100% confident in. Usually the sweet spot is somewhere between making you feel polished but still comfortable, like the perfect wide-leg trouser for example, or a chic knit dress. Sometimes, these items require a bit more of an investment, especially when you want guaranteed quality that will last for many seasons to come. Brands like Frankie Shop, Totême, or even The Row are overflowing with these kinds of wardrobe heroes. But realistically, we can’t all afford to fill our entire wardrobes with investment pieces, and so a huge part of my day to day job here at Who What Wear is focused on pinp...
I’m a Millennial, But I’m Totally Trying Out These 5 Gen Z Makeup Trends
Each generation has its defining beauty moments. Being born in 1994, I grew up during the era when thin eyebrows were the look du jour, and as we approached the 2010s, I witnessed—and experienced—the browscape morph into HD brows (which, let’s be honest, wasn’t great either) before we finally settled on a happy medium of growing back our eyebrows, putting down the brow pomade and leaving our brows well alone (thanks, Glossier Boy Brow, for the support). Now, with TikTok beauty booming and Gen Z celebrities such as Olivia Rodrigo, Zendaya and Charithra Chandran stepping on the scene, it’s safe to say we’re entering a new era of beauty. Gen Z makeup trends are big news right now. But rather than trends being set in stone, this time around...
This Rosie HW– and Zendaya-Approved Hairstyle Is Easier to Do Than You’d Think
And the truth is that we’re not entirely sure why. The trend works across all hair types, it’s relatively low maintenance and most importantly, it’s seriously chic. Whether you want to give off fresh, just-showered vibes, make a bold power move or look like you’ve just stepped off the beach, the wet-hair look is calling out to be adopted. We can only assume that the main reason this trend has never hit the mainstream is because it looks hard to pull off—but that doesn’t mean that it is. In reality, the chicest wet-look hairstyles might just be the ultimate no-fuss way to disguise grease on the run-up to wash day, or perhaps they even give your hair a deep-conditioning treatment. A wet-hair look doesn’t have to mean liquidy, flowing lengths. “You ca...
6 Easy Pieces That Fashion People Style With Throw-On Dresses
We all experience days when we just don’t have the time or the mental capacity to think about our outfits. Don’t worry—it happens to the best of us. This is where the throw-on dress comes in. Now, what sets a dress apart from a throw-on dress? It’s quite simple. Where some dresses might feel tight and restricting, throw-on dresses are the opposite. Often loose or stretchy, they’re comfortable to wear and don’t require too much effort, particularly when selecting which underwear to wear underneath them. (I like to look for a dress that I don’t have to wear with a strapless bra.) Throw-on dresses should be easy, but that doesn’t negate the need for some styling. As lovely as it would be to put on a dress and require nothing else, there are still, at the very least, shoes to consider. So what...
Trust Us: Everyone Will Be Carrying These 8 Handbag Trends This Summer
Regardless of the date, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that summer is no longer imminent—it’s full-blown here. Sure, summer might not officially start until 21 June, but the blue skies and rising temperatures are good enough for me. Of course, there will inevitably be some odd chilly days, but that’s what makes this particular article so pertinent. No matter the forecast, there’s one piece you can use to make your outfits feel more summery even when you’re covered up in jeans and a trench coat. And that piece is a handbag. No matter how many dresses, shoes, or other stylish finds we serve up, slinging a fresh bag over your shoulder is still one of the quickest ways to level up your look and overhaul your aesthetic for a new season. So which are the summ...
I Found the 24 Most Expensive-Looking Items at Zara
So what do I consider Zara’s most expensive-looking items? It differs with each drop. Now, I find myself drawn to its palette of neutrals—beiges, bright whites, earthy hues, and of course, the most expensive-looking shade of them all: black. Fabrications are also a key component in Zara’s more premium aesthetic. I think it creates the strongest broderie pieces—an embroidery technique that always looks high-end and a bit French—on the high street. You’ll notice that my edit is almost entirely devoid of prints. Although this wasn’t deliberate, I don’t think Zara’s 2022 print offering looks the most expensive. (Although it does make a statement.) So instead, I’ve embraced crochet and different weave techniques, which break up the streak of block colours below but don’t take away from the whol...
I’ve Been Trying to Grow My Nails for Years, But These Tips Actually Helped
“Weak, brittle nails can be an indicator that something internally needs targeted attention, as what’s going on internally manifests externally and usually affects how our nails, hair and skin look, feel and behave,” explains Shand. “The great news is you can naturally support the health of your nails by nourishing your body with an abundance of nutrient-dense whole foods, eating protein with each meal and not underestimating the importance of good fats in your diet,” she adds. “Weak nails are usually associated with a deficiency in B vitamins, iron, calcium and fatty acids, so ensuring you regularly include plenty of rich sources such as oily fish including wild salmon, eggs and (especially fermented) dairy in your diet is a great place to start. Supple...
Every Fashion Person I Know Gets Their Elevated Basics From This French Brand
But it’s not just these cult sellout items that The Frankie Shop does well—everything from its basic T-shirts to its perfect shirts and tailoring have proven popular with fashion insiders, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a stylish wardrobe that didn’t contain something from the brand these days. The key, in my opinion, is that The Frankie Shop consistently nails those easy basics that slip effortlessly into your current wardrobe, but there’s always a cool twist to them that elevates everything you pair its pieces with. That, plus the relatively affordable price point that still allows for the great quality you want from your classics but won’t break the bank, and you’ve got yourself a winning fashion fo...
9 Easy Outfit Ideas That Will Make You Feel Your Best on a First Date
When it comes to dressing for a first date, there’s a general rule of thumb I think always works. First is the art of subtle elevation. Much like the no-makeup makeup look, there are little details that’ll quietly elevate a look, like jewellery, a plush bag or tailoring with strappy heels. Second is comfort. If you’re not a heel wearer, opt for something you feel relaxed in. Slip-on flats are equally chic. Dressing for all eventualities is a form of empowerment. Of course, the type of date has a bearing on your outfit choice, as you’re less likely to turn up to a picnic in 10-inch stilettos. (Although, if that’s what you fancy, wear them with pride!) There’s an evident playfulness with this season’s most famed pieces—cut-outs, minis and ankle-strap heels—so there are va...
