The YSL Scents That Are Worth Your Money, Ranked by Me
I rarely recommend that you shop for beauty products based on a brand name. In fact, I’d say it’s almost impossible to find a brand that gets everything right all the time. For example, while I own countless Chanel lipsticks, I haven’t yet turned to their skincare, and despite the fact I burn Byredo candles non-stop, I keep an edited selection of its perfumes. Having said that, there is one brand that seems to get fragrance right launch after launch—and that’s Yves Saint Laurent. In fact, YSL perfumes have been considered cult staples amongst beauty lovers for decades. While the brand’s iconic Opium was easily one of the most popular scents of the ’80s, the latest addition to YSL’s fragrance librar...
I’m a Dress Snob—These 38 Are Pretty Enough to Pass My Test
Saying that I like to dress up would be the understatement of the year. Most days, I’m fully dressed (even when working from home, which I do most days) in heels and a dress, not to mention jewellery and accessories, by 9 in the morning if not earlier. Because of that, my standards for dresses have become quite high, with comfort, style, versatility, and more all factoring into my buying decisions in the dress department. Of late, though, I’ve started to get bored of the dresses in my current rotation, leading me to look elsewhere for new styles to add to my repertoire. Many hours and what felt like 10,000 dresses later, I narrowed my search down to just 38 options. Keep scrolling to shop the summer dresses that have my extremely hard to ...
I’m An Editor— These 9 Summer Items From The Row Are Truly Worth the Investment
If you’re a regular reader of Who What Wear UK, you’ll know we’re big believers in curating a more sustainable capsule wardrobe, full of pieces you truly love. Buying less better items means you’ll more confidently be able to pull items out of your closet season after season, and some classics even remain wearable all year round. That’s not to say everything needs to be a luxury investment, you’ll also know we love to hunt down expensive-looking items on the high street that do the same job. But when it comes to those hero pieces you wear to death— the perfect white shirt or pair of black tailored trousers, for example— prioritising quality over quantity will ensure the longevity you’re looking for. When you are choosing to invest in those items, it’s understandable th...
Ana de Armas Means Business as She Stuns in a Three-Piece Suit at “The Gray Man” Screening
Ana de Armas is fast becoming our style crush. The actor stepped out for “The Gray Man” screening at Zoo Palast cinema in Berlin on 18 July in a three-piece co-ord that oozed sophistication. Wearing a Louis Vuitton navy suit, de Armas took business attire up a gear as she walked the red carpet looking effortlessly glamorous. The longline blazer with wide lapels gave an androgynous feel that was expertly offset with slim-fit trousers. With guidance from her stylist, Samantha McMilen, she completed the three-piece ensemble by wearing a matching waistcoat underneath. De Armas finished the look with simple barely there silver heels, diamond necklace, diamond drop earrings, and a statement sapphire ring. Wearing her hair in a low ponytail with waves pulled out at the front to frame ...
12 Easy Editor Outfits You Can Re-Create With Minimal Effort
One of my favourite pastimes is ogling street style looks. For a few seasons in a row, the pandemic stunted the sidewalk runway of attendees flitting in and out of fashion shows, but this month’s Paris Haute Couture schedule finally appeased my proclivities. In the absence of fashion events, we were granted our fair share of exuberance with Regency-inspired costumes (thanks to Bridgerton), but bearing witness to fabulous real-life outfits cannot be beaten. Among the front-row ensembles and abundance of tulle, there were many easy-to-replicate outfits to be found. Relaxed looks involving timeless jackets or easy, throw-on dresses were aplenty thanks to chic editors, celebrities and influencers who didn’t feel the need for outrageous t...
I Live in Bra Tops: Here Are the 25 Most Comfortable I’ve Found
Let’s be honest, traditional underwired bras aren’t the most comfortable thing to wear. After a long day, the first thing most of us do after getting home is whip off our bra—it signals the start of relaxation time and feels like genuine relief. And with crazy-hot days upon us, wearing one of your typical bras can seem even less inviting than normal. Thankfully, bra tops offer the support of a bra without the constricting feel, and since the pandemic (when comfort became the #1 priority above all other fashion matters) the options have really open up. So much so that I’ve found plenty of styles that look genuinely cute, feel great on and don’t seem like a lazy or less considered alternative to a regular bra. There are various of br...
25 Ultra-Pretty Nail Art Ideas We Are Obsessed With
Let’s be honest, sunny days and alfresco evenings often get us excited about the prettier side of beauty. Suddenly, even those of us that are classic nail fans through and through are thinking about opting for a hint of colour and maximalists are embracing the prettiest standout hues. While I have been a natural manicure girl for years now, every summer I have at least one YOLO moment when I get the urge to go bold. This month I did an all-over lime green, and I loved it and definitely got a lot of compliments when I go for something out of the box rather than super simple Ballet Slippers vibes. I think because of this, I have been saving more pretty nail art designs lately. I think I’m ready to take the next step towards covetable nails by bringing these insp...

& Other Stories’ Cult Blazer Is Back, and It’s Perfect for Late Summer
Thankfully, my forthcoming wardrobe began to preoccupy my mind, and soon, my blazer despair was a distant memory. At least, it was, until just recently. Upon scrolling through & Other Stories’ new-in section, I found it: the cult blazer. Of course, I snapped it up. I already envisage myself wearing it with light knitwear, jeans and midi dresses come autumn. There’s never a bad time to buy a classic staple item, so if you also want to secure the & Other Stories wool blazer before it inevitably sells out again, I suggest you do, pronto. Keep scrolling to see how my favourite influencers wear their & Other Stories wool blazer, and then shop it.

I’m a Fashion Editor, These Are the 27 Items I Have Saved In My Notes for Summer
Does anyone else use iPhone notes as a diary? There’s everything from my life goals to my weekly food shop, all stored in separate checklists. And of course there’s one for clothes. I still have wish lists scattered across every site (I only recently found out on H&M these can get full, whoops), but sometimes I find it better to have all the items I want from different brands in one spot. So I store them all with a brief description (e.g. pink & Other Stories shoes) with the link in my notes instead. I also find this is way to be more mindful with what I buy. instead of items going straight to my basket, I have time to think and decide if I really need/want each piece.

Every Fashion Person Knows This Aussie Label Has the Best Shorts Sets
In the UK, there’s only a limited number of weeks we have to think about dressing for super warm-weather. Layering we have down, and naturally we find it hard to let go of our jackets even if the forecast is predicting a heatwave, because “you never know”. This is why, often, it’s best to look to countries who are more accustomed to dressing for high summer for inspiration—and of course, Australia is one of them. With the likes of Zimmerman, Aje and Alémais all coming from down under, you can always find some summery outfit ideas when browsing Aussie brands. And there’s one that’s proving particularly popular among fashion people this summer. Enter: Deiji Studios. Founded in 2016, the conscious lifestyle brand focuses on luxe linen bedding a...
I’m a Plus-Size Fashion Expert and These Are the Best Summer Co-Ords
You wake up, you’re running late and you need to look put together, quickly. I would advise in these moments that you always reach for a co-ord. This is the quickest way to create an instant outfit in two easy steps. From pyjama suits to crochet twin sets, there’s something about pairing up a matching look that just looks chic and considered. The flexible fit possibilities of co-ords make them perfect for plus size bodies. Weight distribution differs for everyone, but as we grow, the bigger these differences get. You might find that your weight is held predominantly in your bum, or your stomach, or maybe you have a bigger bust or broad back. Which ever way your body is proportioned the fact that a co-ord is split into two but gives you one whole look is perfect. You can easily buy a b...
