I Think Marks and Spencer Has Truly Amazing Shoes Right Now
Marks and Spencer can often be overlooked in fashion circles. However, in my opinion, you just can’t beat it when you’re looking for classic, quality pieces that will last in your wardrobe and don’t cost a fortune. There are certain areas that M&S really excels at—Percy Pigs, cashmere jumpers, bras and knickers and shoes. You might not think that the high-street giant would be known for its shoe department, but its flats and sandals always manage to be comfortable and stylish. This isn’t where I’d turn for statement shoes or a party heels, but it has an amazing collection of summer sandals and loafers. These are shoes to see you through long weekend plans and beach strolls. It has all the classics covered, such as elegant leather s...

Kate Middleton Got 2022’s Biggest New Blazer Trend for £50 at Zara
Two things Kate Middleton seems to love are blazers and Zara. (Same, Kate, same.) She wears both often. So I can’t say I was surprised to see her step out in a Zara blazer for a visit to a charitable organisation in London today. Middleton wore Zara’s Inverted Lapel Long Blazer, which is a mere £50. (Her white version is almost sold out, but it’s still available in a few other colours, so act fast.) She kept the rest of her look simple, opting for wide-leg trousers, a T-shirt, and court shoes. Sure, it’s always significant when Middleton wears affordable brands such as Zara, but my point in covering this look is the blazer trend she wore. We declared collarless blazers the blazer trend of 2022 way back in December, and lo and behold, we have Kate Middleton...

We Went Street Style–Spotting in London—12 Summer Looks We Really Rated
We’re firm believers that fashion can be a force for good. From charity auctions which have raised thousands of pounds for very worthy causes to empowering women to feel as confident as they can about themselves, clothes have the power to affect positive change in so many ways. This was evident when we took to the streets surrounding the #SheInspiresMe Car Boot Sale held in Selfridges’s car park in Central London. The event, organised by Women for Women International, sees sellers from throughout the fashion industry throw open their trunks to sell their pre-loved pieces to eager, fashion-hungry shoppers. This, however, is no ordinary car boot. With pieces donated from influencers, editors, industry experts, high-end brands, and even celebrities, we’d go as far as to say it was the chicest...
These 6 Swimwear Brands are the Only Ones Worth Investing in for 2022
Just when you think you’ve got to grips with spring/summer’s many trends, it’s time to start thinking about swimwear. And like jean shopping, we know this may not be the most enjoyable task seeing as it’s not always easy to find ‘the one’. Of course the high street is ticking off one-pieces, celeb-loved string bikinis and co-ordinating hats, sarongs and beach cover-ups. But when it comes to swimwear that’ll go the distance, we back designer brands. Worth the extra spend, the right swimwear can take your confidence up a few notches with minimal effort—if it’s the perfect fit, that is. And this is why we’ve taken it upon ourselves to highlight 6 swim labels we’re backing for 2022. Hunza G with its flattering stretchy designs are of course on the list, then there’s sustainable bran...
These 28 Expensive-Looking COS Items Could Easily Pass as Designer
There’s no denying that COS is thriving this season. It’s arguably the prime contender on the British high street for premium, designer-like pieces, making it a worthy brand to choose when parting with your hard-earned cash. You merely have to scroll through Instagram to see this year’s hero buy on influencers from London to Lisbon. The famed waistcoat-trouser pairing looks every bit as chic as its designer counterparts, and on close inspection, the quality surpasses all expectations. This year, the once-coined minimalist brand has taken the fashion world by storm with a fusion of saturated hues weft into its typically monochromatic stream. Even more impressive are COS’s many expensive-looking pieces. When it comes to well-considered designs, it’s all in the detail, and COS ...
15 Outfits That Define Each Summer Aesthetic—Coastal Grandma to Princesscore
The topic of fashion aesthetics is my favourite to cover here at Who What Wear, as it lets me dive into little style worlds that I may not take a look at regularly. It seems like a new term to describe one’s style pops up on the internet every month, and while the looks behind each aesthetic aren’t revolutionary, coining a term can help others navigate each and pinpoint what works best for their own personal style. Narrowing the looks down to individual pieces can be overwhelming for some, so seeing them stylized for particular lifestyles can make them more accessible, especially for people who have trouble putting outfits together. I made my share of predictions for the aesthetics that would rule in 2022, and to my excitement, almost ev...
Hailey Bieber Wore the New Heels You’re Going to See Everywhere This Summer
Hailey Bieber’s taste in shoes is pretty impeccable. Her style is so widely followed that she’s capable of turning a shoe style into a trend and new shoes into It shoes practically overnight. I’d say the latter is the trend in this instance. While she was in New York last week, one of Bieber’s many great looks for her trip included a 16Arlington dress that she paired with heels from a brand she’s worn on repeat occasions: Gia Borghini. (This particular one is from the designer’s most recent collection with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.) The shoes are a pair of black high-heel mules made of linen, featuring an angular square toe and a single strap at the base of the toes. Given Gia Borghini shoes and their track record with cele...
Celebs and Influencers Love This High Street Brand As Much As I Do
There are few things I love more than scrolling through Instagram, spotting a chic outfit on a stylish woman and then realising the look is actually affordable. Whether it be high-street, vintage or from an independent brand, there’s something so satisfying about knowing an outfit looks luxe and expensive, yet is totally within reach. This phenomenon has happened to me a few times recently, only to discover the outfits in question were from Mango. From check blazers to leather trousers and of course, an abundance of sleek tailored coats, Mango truly excels in quality designs that look much more expensive than they are. And between Sylvie Mus, Marianne of Smyth Sisters and Yoyo Cao, so many of the chic women I follow also tend to agree. Whether you’re on th...
Trust Us—These 9 Autumn/Winter 2022 Hair Trends Are Going to Be Everywhere
I don’t know about you, but I love the start of a new season, particularly the start of autumn/winter. As the leaves turn to fiery orange, and we swap our summer footwear for winter boots, I can’t help but get swept up in that back-to-school feeling, pulling out my trusted knitwear and adding some new A/W trends to my wardrobe. Same for you? If so, it’s only natural that we’re also keen to update our hair as the seasons shift. While in summer, we might opt for lighter, golden hair colour such as balayage, in autumn and winter, it can be fun to embrace those warmer auburn and brunette shades. Nothing gives that back-to-school feeling like a brand-new haircut, and a big chop is a fail-safe for riddi...
Run, Don’t Walk: & Other Stories Just Restocked Its Most Popular Dress
With cute short sleeves, light fabric and a sweetheart neckline, the dress’s magic lies in how versatile it is. Pair it with trainers and a leather jacket for a pub garden or strappy heeled sandals and take it to a wedding or summer occasion with ease. But it’s also designed to suit a range of body types. Curves or no curves, boobs or not, the dress flatters in all the right places. Unsurprisingly, it’s already one of the most popular dresses we’ve featured on Who What Wear this season, selling like hot cakes when we got a glimpse of the summer weather to come. So when I walked past the store on my way to the office this week, I couldn’t help popping in and trying it on to see if it was as good in real life as it looks online. (Spoiler: It was.) If you’re thinking...
