I Think This Is the One Handbag That Genuinely Goes With Everything
Some of you know exactly which designer handbag you want to invest in. In fact, you might always reach for the same style, colour and brand each and every time, safe in the knowledge that you’ll get endless use out of it. But sometimes, The One can be a little different than you’d expect. Case in point? White handbags have become surprising sidekicks to so many editors in the Who What Wear London office. Bright-white handbags, like shoes, for a long time had a reputation for being tacky and cheap-looking. However, if you look at the bags from Gucci, Chloé and Prada, you’ll find that many of the most elegant styles are actually in an ivory hue. White handbags might seem like a summer accessory, but they look just as good with chunky knitwear, beige bla...
I’m a Lingerie Expert—Here’s How to Find the Best Wedding Underwear for You
We wear underwear each and every day, so it’s easy to understand that many brides feel as if they already know which lingerie is going to work for them. But, then again, you don’t wear a wedding dress every day, do you? Rigby’s advise? “Enlist some expert help. There are so many options that exist that a bride might not think or even know of! At The Pantry Underwear, we host bridal underwear fittings in person and virtually, which offer a range of solutions to form the foundations for an outfit.

I Hated Shopping for Beauty Online Until I Learned These 7 Tips
And while shopping for beauty has always been difficult, over the past few years, things became even trickier. The pandemic closed physical retailers (some for good) and online shopping now reigns supreme. The trouble with this is that the success of our beauty choices relies heavily on in-person interactions. Without physical stores, we can’t test products before we buy them and there’s no salesperson on hand to call on for advice. Instead, we blindly click add to basket and keep our fingers crossed until it arrives. I’ll be honest, I used to hate shopping for beauty online. Brands simply weren’t providing adequate resources to ensure we, the customer, were making the right decision and refused to be any more lenient when it came to refunds. On top of that, even as a beauty editor, I stru...
I Just Made the Ultimate May Capsule With These 13 Chic Items
It’s that in-between time of year again when it’s neither hot nor cold, but every ray of sun inspires creative styling. It’s an inspirational season. The blooms are burgeoning in their cotton-candy pinks, and colours are emerging in every shop window. The comfortable settling of seasons means we can now experiment with our outfit choices and show off the fanciful outfits that have been hidden in storage boxes for months on end. The mere sight of sunshine is excuse enough to dress up. My spring fashion switchover is well and truly underway, and I’m welcoming some of my most-loved pieces back into my wardrobe. I’m assessing my current collection, reintroducing older pieces and considering which items are lacking or need to be re-homed. We can finally pack away heavier coats for next autumn a...
& Other Stories, Arket and H&M Are Feeding My Linen Obsession—Here Are 30 Pieces
A few summers ago, in a desperate bid for inspiration, I looked to some of my favourite stylish people of all ages to figure out what it was they were all doing so right. Turns out linen was the common denominator in all of their outfits—from dresses to shirts and even tailoring. Of course, I went straight out and started building up my collection, and I’ve never looked back. The epitome of summer ease, linen, unlike certain recognisable prints or colour trends, is timeless, and the quality is long-lasting, so you can pull out the same classic pieces year after year. As soon as the temperatures rise, the light fabric works for relaxed weekends pottering around the house, it works for the office, and it even works as occasionwear. What’s not to like? Despite li...
All the Fashion People I Know Are Obsessed With These Controversial Spring Shoes
Turns out these simple shoes perfectly capture the low-key, laid-back mood everyone is embracing this season— think major Coastal Grandmother vibes. I, personally love that all you need to add to them is a ribbed vest and a good pair of jeans for the perfect spring 2022 look. Which is exactly how I’ve been wearing mine (with an added trenchcoat for now) pretty much every day since getting them. But they also go with dresses, wide-leg trousers, shorts and skirts and I can imagine them coming into their own during the great British summertime— on staycations, beach days, countryside wanderings or for running errands to the local farmers market. The taupe pair in particular are like fashion gold dust right now, and are sold out pretty much everywhere (Matches are due a restock...
The Shoes and Tops That Look the Best With Non-Skinny Jeans
Despite their polarizing nature, skinny jeans are basically a classic cut at this point. But in terms of the more forward silhouettes right now, relaxed straight-leg jeans reign supreme. These non-skinny jeans are a fashion-person favorite and bring a modern feel to any look. The style is also incredibly versatile. In reality, you could pair so many of your favorite pieces with this denim style. But after scrolling through the feeds of some of our favorite fashion follows, there are a few key shoes and tops style-setters are opting for. Below, we’re showcasing these items that look great with loose straight-leg jeans. You’ll notice everything from cool oversize shirting styles and sneakers to statement tops and sandals. Keep scrolling for more. Y...
Trust Me—These Are the Only Hairbrushes You Need for a Great At-Home Blow-Dry
So why GHD? “They offer a collection of four barrel sizes, depending on the kind of blow-dry you are hoping to achieve,” says Eaton. “The largest barrel, size 4, is great for perfecting a big bouncy blow-dry at home, and size 2 is perfectly sized for adding volume at the root on shorter hairstyles.” So you can kind of curate the set you need for you hair length and the style you want. One tip I do have is to make sure you always detangle your hair before your start. As stylists say, you need to do the foundation work first. For all hair types, this means combing through knots and tangles, but if you have curly or Afro-textured hair like I do, you’ll need to detangle and use a paddle brush to straighten first before then using these brushes to smooth and give the hair bounce. You won’t reap...
8 Essential Trends Zara Has Already Nailed For Summer
There may be other places we turn to for investment buys and extra special pieces, but for of-the-moment trends and instant wardrobe refreshes, it has to be Zara. Don’t ask us how, but they always seem to be ahead of the season’s biggest trends which is impressive and honestly unusual for a high street brand. It’s part of the reason we (and you) love it so much. Right now, there’s endless pieces on Zara we’ve got our eyes on (if you saw our basket, it would almost be embarrassing), but out of all of it there’s 7 trends we’ve noticed them doing *particularly* well. This should help us whittle down our shopping lists to the best of the best. And considering they’re also some of the biggest trends going into summer 2022, the list below can help prepare you...
Skincare Layering Ruined My Complexion—Now I Turn to These Products Instead
As my skin became gradually more troublesome and my acne began flaring up more regularly over the years, I started feeling increasingly more lost when it came to my skincare routine. As a beauty editor who knows the ins and outs of every skincare product and ingredient out there, even I couldn’t get my routine right–so how the hell was anybody else supposed to? When I reached out to skincare experts, their solution was always the same: reduce the amount of products I was using. But how can I? I thought. Surely my skin needs all of these vital ingredients? And the truth, I have learned, is that yes, my skin does benefit from all of the ingredients, just not in separate formulas. You see, I’m going to let you in on a very big secret: layering your skincare products isn’t nearl...
