You Heard It Here First—This ’90s Trend Has Finally Returned
We’re fresh out of show season, and I spent the entirety of February with my eyes glued to the fashion shows to find out what trends I should expect to blow up next. As I watched the models sashay down the runway this season, there was one common theme that I hadn’t seen in a while that I felt had an overwhelming presence—the choker. Around 2016, I remember ’90s fashion being at its peak, and everyone had a velvet choker around their neck at every social gathering I attended as a college student. Afterward, the trend disappeared for a while, but it’s back and better than ever in 2022. Fashion designers have moved on from the velvet approach and are now using bold metals, pearls, and embellishments to create chokers that feel v...

20 Chic Pieces to Buy If You Want to Dress Like Sienna in Anatomy of a Scandal
If you haven’t started Anatomy of a Scandal on Netflix yet, please listen to me and do it. The plot is gripping, yes, but it was the interior and Sienna Miller’s wardrobe which really had me compelled. Miller plays Sophie Whitehouse, the wife of politician James who becomes the centre of a cheating scandal which ends up in a trial. “Actors say this all the time, but I really do feel that there’s a story you’re telling through what you wear,” Miller explained to Harper’s Bazaar. “Like when she was power dressing, I made the decision to only wear coats on my shoulder. Weird things that you do as character choices.” Sophie’s wardrobe is an important part of the show, as costume director Sam Perry carefully assembled a capsule o...
I Think Every Shoe Style Goes With This Sharp Spring Trend
Los Angeles–based influencer Janet Gunn is known for her effortlessly chic style. For her life in California, she prefers trends that are forward and highly versatile. In fact, there’s one key trend she’s wearing on repeat this season that fits this aesthetic. Yep, we’re talking about the relaxed-suiting look. “When it comes to dressing up for day or night, I prefer to put on a suit—not only is it a welcome alternative to the evening dress, but it’s also timeless and versatile,” she said. “I find wearing a suit lends itself to beauty, sharpness, and elegance.” Gunn also enjoys wearing a relaxed suit right now because just about every shoe silhouette can pair flawlessly with it, as it’s so easy and versatile.

These 7 New Beauty Brands Truly Deserve All the Hype
I love trying new beauty products. What a surprise, right? But after nearly a decade testing pretty much every new launch, I do sometimes get a bit disillusioned by newness. When you receive information about a “never before seen” product range every week, you truly wonder how much newness could possibly exist under the sun, but every now and again, I’m wowed by a delivery enough to rave about it to anyone who’ll listen. This year, there are already a few launches that have caught my eye across the beauty spectrum, from bodycare to makeup and hair care, and the price spectrum, too.

Biker Jackets Are Back and This Is Precisely How to Wear Them Now
You may or may not have heard, but biker jackets are a huge trend for spring/summer 2022. Last time around, we saw the likes of Alexa Chung, Jameela Jamil and Peaches Geldof rocking theirs with minidresses and fedora hats—it was a simpler time. This time around, however, we’re seeing designers like Prada and Acne Studios showcase styles that are slightly more unique and rough around the edges—a bit like me. My go-to at the moment is a vintage mens biker I found in a charity shop last summer. I’d highly recommend checking your local charity shops, eBay, Depop, or anywhere else you can shop preloved to find your own unique piece. I’ve found a great alternative below, but I can guarantee there are thousands of preloved biker jackets just waiting to be scooped up! You Deserve t...

I’m Tall, She’s Short and We Just Tried the Best Summer Dresses for Both of Us
I am a spring/summer girl through-and-through. It’s that magical time when we get to rip off the restrictive opaque tights that have been glued to our legs for the last 6 months and finally get to wear our favourite lightweight dresses that have been collecting dust in our wardrobe through what felt like a never-ending winter. Most dresses will work with a pair of tights but its always my favourites (usually lighter boho dresses or more vibrant pieces) that just don’t sit well. From BBQs to weddings there always seems to be buzz and excitement for the months ahead and, of course, more than enough reasons to showcase some of the hottest new-in dresses around. Both myself and Hannah Almassi, Who What Wear UK’s Editor-In-Chief are dress fanatics,...
Every Beauty Editor I Know Carries This Cult Lip Product in Their Bag
One thing you should know about beauty editors is that, somewhat surprisingly, we don’t tend to shout about the golden oldie products that we use day in, day out. You see, some products are just so good that they become totally ingrained in our routines. When we’re asked for recommendations, our brains go into overdrive and, all too often, our failsafe classics get forgotten about. One product in particular that always springs to mind whenever I consider this odd beauty-editor phenomenon is Dior Addict Lip Glow. The truth is, I can’t think of a single beauty editor pal that doesn’t rely on the cult tinted lip balm as a handbag staple. Lip trends come and go, but Dior Addict Lip Glow is forever. Because while pigmented matte lipstick looks great and plumping glosses deliver t...

Chunky Sandals Can Be Tricky to Style, But These 9 Outfits Make It Easy
So-called “ugly” trends have been reigning supreme for the last couple of years. Dad trainers, knitted tank tops, tie-dye prints and quilted coats are just some of the trends that may have initially raised eyebrows but are now adored by fashion types. This is also the case when it comes to spring/summer 2022’s most prolific shoes. Chunky sandals started making tracks two years ago when Teva’s double-strap sandals flooded our feeds. Chanel also brought out its own pair of chunky sandals, which, although emblazoned with the iconic double-Cs and finished in bouclé, still fell under the “ugly”-but-somehow-chic category. Last year, Dune treated us to its pair of best-selling Lockstockk sandals, just as The Row’s Ginza platform-sole f...
