Listen. It goes without saying that Zara can be your shopping destination for all things in any season. Whether it’s casual wear, formal frocks, swimsuits, dresses, jackets, or handbags, the brand has got you covered no matter what you’re looking for. But every once in a while, a quick perusal of the site will show that one or more categories are thriving well beyond the rest—exceeding the usual greatness and achieving excellence. Right now, that’s undoubtedly its shoes. From high heels to flats to in-between sandals, Zara’s footwear game for summer can only be described as next-level. That might be why my attempt to provide you with a tight edit of my absolute favourites resulted in nothing less than a whopping 28 ...
The sorry fact is that we just can’t rely on sunshine and soaring temperatures during the British summertime. We just can’t. That is why we thought it might be useful to bring these outfits to your attention. Though it’s far too early to talk about autumn, we’re applying the same principles for dressing for that season to see us through the cooler days we’ll inevitably experience over the next few months. Like autumn, off days in the summertime may require quite a bit of planning. Jacket or no jacket? How many layers are too many layers? Although it might seem pessimistic of us (we’re still holding out for a glorious summer), this is actually the perfect moment to take a pause and really think about what you’ll wear when the weather turns. The below outfits include several classics that yo...
Right now, my regular shopping haunts are full to the brim with fabulous summer pieces—so much so that it’s almost overwhelming. To get my thoughts (and my shopping list) in order, I decided to pull together my favourite summer buys from each brand, as I thought seeing them side by side would make it easier to whittle down the pieces I actually want to invest in. How wrong I was. Ultimately, there’s a huge amount of incredible fashion to be had on the high street right now. From heavyweights including & Other Stories and Arket to Who What Wear UK’s very own sustainable, made-on-order collection, Drop 01, the latest pieces are a feast for the eyes and a tempting shopping prospect for anyone who wants to unlock their full sartorial potential this sum...
We all know that person. You know, the one who looks like they’re 20, but they’re actually 40 or 50. The person who looks youthfully preserved in time and doesn’t really seem to have changed in the years that you’ve known them. They probably get asked for ID all the time. And all you want to ask them is for their exact beauty-and-skincare routine—and also maybe what kind of witchcraft and sorcery they’ve been doing. Listen, I know getting older is just a part of life. There’s no stopping it, but there’s also no shame in ageing, either. I always like to think of it as getting wiser and more comfortable with myself each year. But I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting to protect your skin from sun damag...

Us Who What Wear UK editors have quite a few things in common— and one is our shared love of Marks and Spencer. Of course, we all have our own different personal styles, but we’re 100% united on how great M&S’s wardrobe staples are. They’re the kind of pieces you know you’re going to wear over and over again for years to come so the fact that you can rely on the quality as well as the design is key, with an affordable price tag to boot. From cashmere to pretty lingerie, and all the classics in between, each of us has at least one favourite thing we turn to M&S for, and I think I may have just found my newest crush. I’d heard about how great the high street hero’s linen pieces were on the grapevine, but in order to report back in earnest I wanted to try them out fo...
Take note dress fans and tailoring aficionados, as we have a feeling you’ll be seeing even more of Esber’s brand of relaxed elegance this summer, as his brand of sweeping maxis and floaty shirts can easily be imagined at sunsets parties, dinners and weddings in sunnier climes.

It’s a little-known fact that most people who work in fashion are hoarders. This is because we know that fashion is cyclical, and many of us have learned the hard way never to get rid of the items we once loved to wear. Not only will they most likely come back into style, but you never know when you might happen across a more current way to wear them. Still, the nature of fashion is that trends ebb and flow in popularity, and when something has been around for a long time, its initial appeal is sure to wear off at some point. That’s when some might label these pieces as being “dated.” With a new season in our midst, our editors have taken a moment to think about the trends that have had more than their fair share of time in the style spotlight and which fresh looks ...
We’re pretty well versed in both It items and incredible dresses, so you bet your new raffia tote we can spot a killer It dress from about 50 paces away. Here it is: the £65 wear-it-to-everything midi our wardrobes have all been waiting for. And it has a great pedigree, coming from our very own newly-launched sustainable and affordable fashion collection, Drop 01 by Who What Wear UK. This dress is flattering and easy to wear thanks to its softly elasticated waist and shoulders and flowing linen-blend fabric—we haven’t yet met a person it doesn’t suit. But for all of its practical details, it’s still incredibly “wow” thanks to the intricately designed four-in-one neckline-and-sleeve concept: You can wear this as a criss-cross halter or...
Accessories are potent. They have the power to take what is otherwise a pretty standard outfit and make it more exciting and unique to you. I find accessories particularly handy in summer, for instance, when a basket bag is all I need to make my fail-safe jeans-and-white-T-shirt outfit combination feel more seasonally appropriate. On the subject of basket bags, I also like mine because it makes me feel like a French girl when I carry one. And anyone who reads my features will tell you that’s precisely the aesthetic I want to emulate. There are many clichés surrounding French style—too many to get into here—but one thing we can all agree on is that our Gallic friends know how to put an outfit together. Whether they prefer wardrobe classics or bold statement pieces, the way t...
The official start of summer is June 21, and while I’ll still be working most of the season, it’s safe to say I’ve already filled up my Google Cal with plenty of weekend plans, from coastal getaways to beach days with friends, alfresco brunches, and barbecues. I’ll most definitely be taking full advantage of the long, hot summer days right up until the first day of fall! As a fashion editor, it’s practically in my blood to already be thinking about, planning, and conjuring up outfits I’ll be wearing as we approach the new season. To get inspired, I’m sharing some of my favorite casual summer weekend looks that will undoubtedly garner plenty of compliments. Below, you’ll find a cool and of-the-moment outfit for every weekend thr...
Although I’ve always been a brunette, as soon as the sun makes an appearance and the temperature soars, I’m always tempted to go lighter. I usually opt for balayage or highlights to give my summer hair colour some dimension, but each summer I feel a jolt of excitement of going just a little bit blonder. In fact, hairdressers and hair colourists often tell me that once you dabble with blonde, you never look back. However, choosing the right shade of blonde can be an overwhelming decision. So, we enlisted the help of Jordanna Cobella, Creative Director of Cobella Salon and Wella Professionals Craft Expert, to talk us through blonde hair–and I’ve saved the best blonde hair colours that I’ve found to provide some salon inspiration. “When choosing the rig...
