The 2000s Fashion Trends Everyone Will Wear This Year
If you grew up in the 2000s, you’ll probably be surprised to hear that the decade’s fashion trends are once again popular. I was born in 1994, and if you ask me, the decade still feels like it happened just yesterday. I grew up watching Britney Spears music videos and vying to get my hands on basically everything Paris Hilton wore. For me, 2000s fashion trends are even more nostalgic than those of the ’80s or ’90s. Yes, I’m talking about the teeny-tiny handbags and even tinier strappy sandals that defined the decade’s aesthetic. I won’t lie, though. I’m thankful that not everything we wore in the 2000s is making it into the 2010s because, well, styles like ultra-low-rise jeans are best left in the past (in my opi...
This Hair Wand Gives Salon Worthy Waves – And It’s Only £35
What I love about this wand, and what sets it apart from others that I’ve tried, is that it gives a really long lasting curl to the hair. When I curl my hair with this, it gives me a tight curl (which initially gives prom in 2007 vibes, I’ll admit). But, once I’ve let the curls cool down –this bit is really important to make your style last for longer–I brush them out with a paddle brush or wide toothed comb, which I’ll spritz with hairspray, to soften the curls into loose waves. This process really helps to give the waves longevity, shine and that salon-worthy bounce. And for £35 for the handle and the wand, it’s seriously worth shouting about.

I’m a Fashion Editor—Here’s What to Wear on Every Type of Hen Do
As a fashion editor, unsurprisingly, I’m the go-to sources of information for my friends and family when it comes to anything style-related. Whether it’s a dress for a big date or simply the perfect white tee, I’ve addressed every question you could imagine. And today I’m going to provide a solution to the age-old conundrum—what to wear to a hen do. So, what do you wear to a hen do? The fact is that there’s not one simple sartorial solution. Every hen do comes with a myriad of scheduled activities, and each one lasts an entire day, if not a weekend or a few days. That means your outfit really needs to work hard to not only last from pancakes at breakfast to partying at night, but also be practical and comfortable enough to wear for a 12-hour period, minim...
Kate Moss Just Wore the #1 Dress-and-Shoe Pairing for 2022
Kate Moss sightings are certainly rarer than we’d like, but after clocking her latest low-key ensemble our editors are in agreement of one thing—they’re always worth the wait. Though she and lookalike daughter Lila Moss turned heads at the 2022 Met Gala extravaganza this week, the look we’re referring to is one she wore for a day spent in the city ahead of the glitzy event. As always, Kate Moss proved to be right on trend, as the super was seen out running errands before her turn on the red carpet. For he outing, Moss chose to don an elegant floral print maxi dress, the red buds popping against the classic black backdrop of her frock. If you’ve consulted our trend report, then you’ll already know that maxi hemlines are a key look for spring/summer 2022, so it’s little...
H&M’s Wide-Leg Trousers Have a Cult Following— I Tried the Best Pairs
When a high-street item starts garnering a certain amount of hype, it seriously piques our interest here at Who What Wear. That’s what happened recently, anyway, when word got around about how great H&M’s wide-leg trousers were. Last year, we sold over 1000 pairs through the site, and after delving deeper, we realised that most styles were consistently receiving incredible reviews online. So of course, we had to see how good they were for ourselves. I was tasked with trying on as many pairs as I could get my hands on (harder than it sounds when they fly out of stock as quickly as they do) to see whether they lived up to expectations and to figure out which styles, in particular, were worth spending money on. Turns out those reviewers weren’t wrong, and there w...
6 Elevated Staples That Will Make All Your Summer Outfits Look Polished
The list below consists of classic anti-trend items you’ll no doubt get endless wear out of— especially since these are items that either make an instant outfit or go with everything else you own. Think classic white sundresses, handwoven bags and beautifully made leather sandals. And whether you spend the summer in the city or are planning on jetting to far-off climes— they’ll see you through heat waves and beach days alike. This edit of core staples is anything but boring, and basically forms a mini summer capsule. Add them all to your wardrobe and you’re set for looking impeccably polished all season, or you could add just one or two to your existing collection and they would have just as much worth. Yes, there are some designer purchases in there, but there ar...
4 Viral Designer Pieces I Tried That Are Actually Worth the Investment
Iconic bags from Hermès, including the Birkin and Kelly, are in bigger demand than ever, but the brand’s viral fashion pieces don’t end there. Footwear from the French fashion house has been flying off the shelves as well. Styles including the Chypre sandals, Oran flats, and Calya clogs have been selling out everywhere, but there are more to know about. Its Enid sandals are the shoes to have on your radar. Making their debut on the S/S 22 runway, the Enid sandals instantly drove conversations. Finished with a flatform sole, an iconic H Diamant buckle, and Velcro straps, they tap into the sport-sandal styles that have been hugely popular among the fashion set. Here, I styled them with a minidress, and as we head into summer, I would wear them with e...
9 Items to Add to Your Suitcase, Wherever You’re Flying to This Summer
The oversized shirt is a timeless staple, and this summer, it comes in a plethora of shades, from bright blue to dulcet brown tones, for those of us averse to colour. As for shoes, it’s all about the platforms. If Versace’s 160-millimetre Triplatform heels are a little too wobbly for you on the cobbled streets of Europe, there are lots of amazing sturdy, chunky sandals that have taken my fancy. Then we come to the ultimate summer holiday piece: the sundress. Undoubtedly, every summer, it comes back around like clockwork, but this year, there is no shortage of shirred maxi and midi styles. Then we have my favourite: cut-out midi dresses. We all bore witness to the birth of Cult Gaia’s Serita dress in 2021, and this year, it’s an inspired take on the midi style, th...
These 21 Dresses Are All So Good I Almost Didn’t Want to Share Them With You
I’m a dress girl through and through. I’d say a hefty 70% of my wardrobe consists of them. I went through something of a fit-and-flare stage in my late teens, emulating the garms of Jackie Onassis and Audrey Hepburn after watching far too many reruns of My Fair Lady. Although the obsessive polka-dot era subsided, length and sweeping fabrics are something I’ve welcomed into my 30s uniform. When it comes to dresses, more is definitely more. By that, I mean more fabric, longer lengths and bigger sleeves. The aforementioned elements add to the allure of maxi dresses—not to mention they act as a blank canvas for creative styling, which is always welcome at this time of year when we don’t have as many layers to play with. Just some years ago, the style was reserved for formal occ...
12 Cool Nail Designs I’m Actually Going to Try This Summer

31 Joyful Zara Pieces That Make Getting Dressed Way More Fun
You mightn’t realise it, but what we choose to wear each day is indicative of our moods and can send out subliminal messages to those around us. Wearing all black, for example, might seem like an easy outfit solution—it’s chic, right?—but it tells a much richer story. It shows that you’re a classicist, that you like to look polished and pulled together but in an understated way. With the brighter days and easing of restrictions affecting our moods in a hugely positive way, it’s natural to find ourselves gravitating towards clothing and accessories that fill us with the same euphoric joy. And no brand seems to have understood this desire more acutely than Zara. Upon scrolling Zara’s new-in section this week, we had huge smiles on our faces. There’s j...
Every Breathtaking Red Carpet Look From the 2022 Met Gala
