11 Bright Colourful Eyeliner Looks You’ll Want Recreate This Summer
Gone are the days of—dare I say it—the classic black eyeliner looks. Well, at least for this season. Enter the era of the playful, colourful and bold eyeliner looks, where more is definitely more. Whether it’s down to the mask wearing from the past couple of years, or the hyper-focus on Euphoria eye makeup, which really put bold eye looks on the map or the summer vibes, we’re all about it. Just this year Google UK received half a million searches per month for eyeliner alone, an increase of +14% vs last year. The good thing is, you’ve already got the skills down. Apply the same techniques you would for your classic liner, to create an array of flicks and lines, let your creativity bloom. While the classic black liner is all about the technique and precision, the colour eyeliner l...

All Editors Agree the Wide-Leg Trousers From COS Are Even Better Than Designer
It all started back in spring when COS introduced a pair of beige wide-leg trousers that filled the gap in our wardrobes created by the phenomenon that was The Row’s 2021 pleat-front Phoebe pants. From Kendall Jenner to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, many über-minimalists couldn’t resist their pared-back, timeless charm. At a cool £1420, these exact trousers understandably didn’t make their way into the wardrobes of our editors or anyone we know. Although there is a huge difference between a well-cut pair of trousers and an ill-fitting pair (not to mention the fabrics and finishes used), the style itself—a simple, roomy leg with a high waist—wasn’t unusual or different and could be traced back easily to slacks from the ’90s, ’80s and even R...
4 Versatile Workwear Looks That Will Keep You Chic in a Heatwave
When it comes to summer workwear, the onus is on textiles. Workwear isn’t always associated with the most breathable of fabrics. Typically, power dressing alludes to heavily tailored mixes, single-breasted blazers and pinstripes. Growing up, I’d watch films like Baby Boom in awe. The female protagonists with their weighty padded shoulders and bulging briefcases symbolised the high-powered working woman. Although the attire was of that time, it’s what I considered typical workwear. School-uniform dressing didn’t help either. We’re conditioned into thinking that clothing should look and feel a certain way to be deemed smart. Although those items have their place, there’s an opportunity to make your workwear as fruitful as your off-duty looks. There’s no rule of thumb when it comes to wo...
All the Controversial Swimwear Trends That Are Definitely in Right Now
What makes a swim trend controversial? It can be anything from how much coverage it provides (or, of course, doesn’t provide) to the potential for bizarre tan lines to how much it resembles lingerie. That said, just because a swim trend is divisive doesn’t mean it’s not cool or that it’s off-limits. In fact, while I tend to err on the safer side when it comes to beachwear, I can’t help but feel like I just might want to try a handful of the aforementioned suits myself—and I have a feeling you will, too. From bra-style bikini tops every It brand is selling to the thong swimsuit movement that’s all the rage across the globe to the loincloth bottoms both celebrities and influencers are backing, today I’ve rounded up the five most controversial swim tren...
I’m 5’2″—Here Are All the Petite Summer Dresses I Can Genuinely Recommend
It’s not easy being petite. For all the money you spend on clothes, often you have to then fork out even more for alterations. Hemlines are too long, billowing sleeves have too much excess fabric, and don’t even get me started at waistlines that usually end up sitting somewhere around your hips. Thankfully though, there are currently several brands that are making things easier for those of us lacking a little bit of height. From Reformation to New Look, Boden to ASOS, dedicated petite ranges are becoming much easier to find if you just know where to look.

I’ve Been a Fashion Editor for 15 Years—Here’s What I Want to Buy Now
With 15 years of fashion experience behind me, I can spot a winning purchase from a mile off—and not just for my own wardrobe but for many friends, family members and Who What Wear readers too. Having lived through the rise of fast fashion, the impact of social media on product virality and the ever-increasing churn of runway collections, I’ve seen some pretty ridiculous trends come and go during my time in the industry, and by documenting them from afar (rather than always wearing them), I’ve become adept at sifting out the looks and items that have longevity. Certain pieces come back time and again, and many “trends” are actually quite classic. Stripes, basket bags and linen trousers for summer? Yep. Leopard-print coats, over-the-knee boots and dark...
If They’re Not Wearing Jeans, Fashion People in Paris Wear These 5 Items
There are a few wardrobe staples that every Paris-based fashion person I follow seems to wear on repeat. And yes, jeans are undoubtedly one of those essentials.

But when Parisians aren’t wearing jeans, it appears there are a few key items they opt for instead. The items in question all have the same ease and chicness as jeans but could be worthy options if you want to switch it up from your tried-and-true denim from time to time. Keep scrolling for visual inspiration from fashion people in Paris. There are loads of shopping recommendations coming your way as well.

FYI: 9 Genius Tips I Learned From Studying Hailey Bieber’s Beauty Routine
I’ve always been drawn to Hailey Bieber’s fashion and beauty (can you believe one of her favourite moisturisers is just £14?). I prefer minimalist looks just like she does, so you can imagine my interest when the model and now brand founder of Rhode (her skincare line which isn’t available in the UK just yet), made her second appearance on the series. Her first was four years ago, and you can watch that here. For her most recent installment, Bieber chose to showcase her date-night skincare and makeup routine. As she describes it in Vogue‘s video, it’s her go-to “glowy going-out makeup look.” Fun fact: A lot of her inspiration comes from ’90s supermodels, Pinterest, and TikTok. Of course, you can watch the video in its 12-minute...
Every Fashion Person Knows This Aussie Label has the Best Summer Sets
In the UK, there’s only a limited number of week we have to think about dressing for super warm-weather days, compared to knowing how to layer.

21 Summer Outfits We Love for All Kinds of Weather
I don’t know about you, but summer is always the highlight of my year. Sometimes, summer outfits need to be straightforward and simple to assemble, with just the flourish of a key accessory or subtle injection of a new styling move, and sometimes—because the UK’s climate is so unpredictable—the layering and construction will be more demanding. We’ve supplied the more advanced levels, of course. Remember that if the sandals don’t work due to rain, plenty of the below outfits work with boots. There are looks for all of your summer plans, from elegant parties to afternoons in beer gardens. So without further ado, let us introduce you to the summer outfit ideas we’re already wearing for 2022, provided by some standout looks and supported by the shopping piece...
I’m Obsessed With Dresses, and These Are the 9 I Adore
If there’s one thing I know, it’s dresses. My wardrobe is full of them, and I wear them 99.9% of the time. I’ve always struggled with casual dressing (long-time Who What Wear readers will have repeatedly read about my ongoing struggle with denim—sorry to be a bore!), so easy, good-looking frocks are my most-trusted fashion staple. I have affordable dresses that I wear each and every week. I have special, more expensive versions that come out for important occasions or big meetings. I have those in-between, mid-priced options that bridge the gap between casual and fancy days. I own styles that are ultra summery and best for heatwaves and holiday packing, but I’ve also got a fair number of clever, trans-seasonal styles that can work layered up and with tights in winte...
