Alexa Chung Just Wore the Flat Sandals We’re Still Obsessing Over
Fashion collaborations come in a variety of guises. Some result in an exciting fusion of design aesthetics while other designers probably should’ve just stuck to what they do best. Proenza Schouler and Birkenstock might not have been the most obvious of fashion bedfellows, but when these two brands dropped their first sandal collaboration in 2020, the fashion crowd couldn’t get enough—and neither could I. And, as it turns out, the now bestselling style isn’t just a fashion editor fave, but a celebrity one too. As designer/presenter/all-round-style icon Alexa Chung just wore them on holiday, firmly cementing the fashionable collab as an It shoe for the ages.

It’s the Year of the Mini, so Here Are 6 Ways to Style the Skirt for Summer
Like it or not, mini skirts are a trend this season. While Miu Miu’s belt-style micro iterations can be slightly (read: completely) terrifying for us mere mortals, they can actually be more wearable than the catwalk leads us all to believe. As a midi skirt fan, I’m surprised by how swayed I’ve been by the revival of the mini, and I haven’t stopped wearing them all summer. For me, though, I find it easier to wear with a baggier top half: a shirt, a fine knit if it’s cooler or an oversized blazer. When it comes to fit, I always size up with mini skirts to make sure they’re not super tight, or rise up too high (but of course this is down to preference.) For late summer outfit inspiration, below I’ve found some of the best mini skirt looks that are easy to copy. From Abisola’s...
The 4 Essential Items You Need to Pack for a Mediterranean Getaway

We can always rely on & Other Stories to bring the feel-good factor to our wardrobe, and its latest drop is a holiday-ready collection of summer ...
These 29 High-Street Tops Could Easily Pass As Designer
I’m a dress girl through and through, preferring to wear them throughout the seasons, so admittedly the tops section of my wardrobe is a little lacklustre. That plight is common consensus, as ‘jeans and a nice top’ is the elusive fashion pairing we’re all searching for. We’re shortly entering the period for transitional dressing and this season I’ve witnessed some beautiful pieces at sensible price points. Retailers are refining their top and blouse selections and weaving in billowy-shaped garments, that can be worn with skirts, trousers, and jeans. I’ve spotted the prettiest of tops featuring gauzy open weaves, embroidered detailing, and romantic adornments—whether it be a ruffled collar or broderie anglaise fabric. There’s a certain method I adhere to ...
13 Lesser-Known High-Street Brands We’re Championing This Year
Although the big-name high-street brands (H&M, Mango, etc.) will always have a special place in my heart, there’s something exciting about coming across a lesser-known label. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with buying into the latest trending item. However, as all true fashion lovers will know, it can be easy to become disillusioned by the identikit ensembles that can come from sticking to the well-trodden path. My solution? Take some time every few months to dig around online and discover some new brands. This will ensure that your wardrobe is kept fresh, diverse and individual, and it helps you avoid the awkward outfit-clash moment. To save you time, I’ve scoured the internet and interrogated the Who What Wear team to find our top lesser-known affordable...

I Just Found the Most Expensive-Looking French-Girl Shoe For £35 at M&S
Of course, as soon as I saw them drop online I snapped them up in both colours, and then proceeded to see how many ways I could style them up. Inspired by the understated ways French girls always wear their favourite ballet flats, I loved them best with cropped jeans and tailored shorts. But they’d also look cute with mini skirts, skinny jeans, cropped tailored trousers and shirtdresses to name a few— making them the perfect workwear and weekend accessory. Scroll down and you’ll find links to shop Marks and Spencer’s new ballet flats. And if you love them as much as I do be sure to add them to cart sharpish, since we know from experience these M&S winners sell out in lightening speed. I’ve also shopped out my outfits and added some more of my favourite ballet flats below… Yo...
I Went to Italy and Greece for Two Weeks—These Were My Best Looks
The last time I went on a “real” holiday—the type where you completely unplug and don’t look at a screen even once—was about two years ago, so it was a long time coming. This is why I jumped on the first decently priced flight to Italy I caught before I even had time to second-guess myself. Through some finessing, I was also able to fit in a mini getaway to Santorini and Copenhagen while in Italy. Before I knew it, a two-week vacation was born. This was my most extended trip to date, and while great, a two-week trip also means a whole lot of outfits. You have to pack strategically. Thankfully, I live for holiday prep, so I carefully charted out my outfits weeks in advance. Keeping in line with the romantic Italian landscape and architec...
Good News—These 12 SPFs Allow You to Totally Streamline Your Skincare Routine
But before we go any further, I want you to listen very carefully: Using a moisturiser or a foundation that merely lists SPF as an ingredient does not tick that ‘protection’ box. In order to protect your skin from damaging UV rays, it is imperative that you apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen. This means the product protects skin against skin-ageing UVA rays (this is typically illustrated by a ‘PA+++’ or star rating, for example) and burn-inducing UVB rays (illustrated by an SPF rating). The reason for this serious caveat is that in order to truly give your skin the protection it requires, a product has to contain a hefty amount of those all-important UV-blocking ingredients. Dermatologists recommend applying a half-teaspoon of SPF to the ...

I Know Good Bras—These 23 Plunge Styles Are Game-Changing
Being a fashion editor, I’m usually the first person my friends come to with their style dilemmas, and right now, the question that keeps cropping up is, “Which bra would look good with this outfit?” With occasion season in full swing, many of us are now faced with working out which underwear (if any!) works with the outfit we have planned. I’ve been quietly observing the trends coming through, and with lots of backless, strapless and plunging pieces on offer, there’s more emphasis on getting your underwear right than ever before. I myself spent inordinate amounts of time trying to find a backless bra to suit 1) the dress I had in mind and 2) my 32G cup size. It was an effort, but the reward of being comfortable enough to wear a dress style I previously never thought I’d be able to wa...
