What to Wear to Brunch: 9 Stylish Women and Their Weekend Winners
What to wear for brunch? Well, over the years, we’ve enjoyed our fair share of lazy, late breakfasts with friends and have learnt a few things. First, you can never make too much of an effort. There’s something truly enjoyable about shaking off your work clothes and debuting something new or different for the weekend. Second, you must be sensible. Super-tight dresses are not your friend, particularly when you find yourself in a bottomless situation. Give yourself some breathing space, and opt for looser fits that are comfortable to eat and sit down for a good few hours of gossip. Finally, think about your footwear choice. Unless you’re a hardcore high-heel lover who can last all day long on a regular basis, it’s best to opt for flats or comfortable block h...
Bride or Guest, These Are the Heels You Can Wear All Day and Night
Herein lies the key to why Loeffler Randall’s shoes have already stood the test of time: They’re just so comfortable. And, of course, they look good with everything from a wedding dress to a pair of jeans. The cylindrical block heel is easy to walk in and, crucially, doesn’t sink into grass or get stuck in crevices, and the plissé material moulds to your feet without stretching or coming out of shape over time, which means that after years of wear, these heels still look as good as new—exactly what you need from shoes you’re bound to wear again and again. If you haven’t already invested in a pair of Loeffler Randall’s pleated-bow shoes, let’s just say it’s a purchase you’ll never regret.

Mango Has Up to 50% Off So Many Good Summer Pieces Right Now
I know they say it’s sensible, but I’m not normally one for buying pieces at the very beginning of the season. I usually wait a few weeks until the weather starts to change change, and I can really get a feel for what I actually want to be wearing right now. Which is why I’d been considering my basket of spring/summer Mango items for a while. This week we’re finally seeing evidence of the warmer season being here to stay, so I went to push the button on some timeless pieces to refresh my wardrobe when I discovered my favourite high street brand (and the favourite of celebs and editors everywhere) had just started an up-to-50%-off spring sale. I’ll admit sometimes I’m put off by a sale, especially high street, as they can be full of trend-led items you’re likely to regr...
I’m Calling It—These Are the Only Trousers Everyone Will Be Wearing for Summer
The wardrobe switch is in full swing, and our summer favourites are making their way to the forefront of our wardrobes once again. With weeks of endless sunny days in mind (here’s hoping), of course, linen dresses, short suits and strappy tops are a firm favourite. But if you’re not one to opt for rising hemlines at the first glimpse of sunshine, or you just prefer trousers in general, we have news for you. Wide-leg trousers will be your best friend all summer, and beyond. The loose-fit, often tailored, style is renowned for looking effortless with minimal effort needed. And when temperatures rise, minimal effort is exactly what we all rely on. For daytime, wide-leg trousers look particularly good with a vest top, chunky sandals and a sleek fuss-free bag. For after-da...
I Didn’t Think A SPF Powder Would Work For Me Until I Tried This One
I have a confession, despite hearing from other beauty experts continuously to wear sunscreen every single day, until 2020, I didn’t. It seemed unnecessary, especially in the UK, the land of sporadic sun. With dark skin and low climates, I just didn’t understand the need. But after learning about the way that UVA and UVB rays affect skin–from pigmentation problems to skin cancer–I have been diligent with applying SPF every day, even if I don’t leave my house. When it comes to actually venturing out into the sun though, it’s important that you not only apply SPF before you head out, but you also top up throughout the day too. This is where I come a bit unstuck. Although I rarely do a full face of makeup anymore, I do wear a light base or concealer along with bronzer or blush ...
The “Uncool” Perfume Trend You Might Want to Consider
I’m not here to knock the very sweet fragrances of the early aughts. One whiff of a fruity perfume can send anyone down a nostalgic trip. And listen, those things really did smell good. But in the years since, as I’ve gone from my teens to 20s to now my 30s, I’ve noticed a trend toward more complex scents that can still be sweet but not exactly saccharine. When choosing fragrances for myself, I gravitate more toward fresh floral scents than anything remotely fruity. If fruity was cool when I was a teen, how can it possibly still be cool in my 30s? And how would I even pull it off? But recently, I’ve given fruity perfumes a second thought, mostly because they are so different from those early aughts fragrances. Some of them blend fruits with more groun...
This Body Shape Calculator Will Guide You to Some Excellent Clothes
Personal style is just that: personal. And no one person or rule can really tell you what suits you. If you’re lucky, you just get a feeling and can run with it. But we all have those moments of uncertainty and a guiding factor towards a reliable clothing choice can lie in the question we sometimes find ourselves pondering, “What body shape am I?” Forget size—this isn’t about that and never should be. Instead, there is a nifty little way to understand your body shape, and it’s thanks to our brilliant co-founder Hillary Kerr, who let us know that we can find which pieces show off our figures best by simply understanding our body shapes a little better, and dressing accordingly (be safe in the knowledge this still leaves you with so many options). Instead of pan...

I Spent Hours Shopping At & Other Stories—Here Is What I Loved
I was one of the many eagle-eyed millennials swept in by Wendy McColm’s cinematography when And Other Stories first opened its doors back in the spring of 2013. ‘Rendez-vous’, an idiosyncratic fashion film, featuring the stylish Jeanne Damas, alluded to a narrative that set the tone of what was to follow. The subtext was the age-old fashion conundrum—having too many clothes, yet nothing to wear. To which its prospective customers answered with a resounding yes! From that moment onwards, I knew And Other Stories was a brand worth staying close to. Call me a slave to good marketing if you will, but ambiguity heightened the anticipation of its launch. It was also simultaneous with my foray into attainable wardrobe investments. Including staples, like jeans and t-shirts. Since then, ...
15 Cult Buys You’re About to See Everywhere This Summer
Here at Who What Wear, we constantly have our eyes out and ears pricked for the emergence of a cult item. Sometimes a piece will explode onto the scene, on a catwalk or even just via the latest high street drop— and within what seems like minutes so many of the stylish women on our feeds are sporting that exact hero piece. Sometimes it’s a slower build, spotted once, twice, three times— perhaps over the beginning of a season, or it could even form its cult status over a number of years. Either way, our editor Slack channels are usually filled with discussion over these exact pieces— which ones have won us over, which are worth investing in and which will truly stand the test of time. And since spring is well underway, holidays are booked, and on top of that it feels like we’re about ...
Katie Holmes Went Shopping at Mango and Found These 4 Expensive-Looking Items
Katie Holmes appears to have a thing for Mango and we can’t blame her. The Spanish store has been improving season upon season over the past few years, producing timeless staples that look far beyond their price-tags as well as more cheerful, trend-hitting pieces that speak to their Mediterranean heritage and really come to life in the summer months. Only recently was Holmes part of the cult Mango coat club which also included Sienna Miller, Alexa Chung and Gigi Hadid. It was a seemingly simple beige crombie but such was its premium quality and great fit that it persuaded these A-listers out of their usual designer farms. And for anyone else who managed to get hold of this style, well done—you have a classic item that will look good for many winters to come, celeb approval ...
