Trust Us: Everyone Will Be Carrying These 8 Handbag Trends This Summer
Regardless of the date, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that summer is no longer imminent—it’s full-blown here. Sure, summer might not officially start until 21 June, but the blue skies and rising temperatures are good enough for me. Of course, there will inevitably be some odd chilly days, but that’s what makes this particular article so pertinent. No matter the forecast, there’s one piece you can use to make your outfits feel more summery even when you’re covered up in jeans and a trench coat. And that piece is a handbag. No matter how many dresses, shoes, or other stylish finds we serve up, slinging a fresh bag over your shoulder is still one of the quickest ways to level up your look and overhaul your aesthetic for a new season. So which are the summ...
I Found the 24 Most Expensive-Looking Items at Zara
So what do I consider Zara’s most expensive-looking items? It differs with each drop. Now, I find myself drawn to its palette of neutrals—beiges, bright whites, earthy hues, and of course, the most expensive-looking shade of them all: black. Fabrications are also a key component in Zara’s more premium aesthetic. I think it creates the strongest broderie pieces—an embroidery technique that always looks high-end and a bit French—on the high street. You’ll notice that my edit is almost entirely devoid of prints. Although this wasn’t deliberate, I don’t think Zara’s 2022 print offering looks the most expensive. (Although it does make a statement.) So instead, I’ve embraced crochet and different weave techniques, which break up the streak of block colours below but don’t take away from the whol...
I’ve Been Trying to Grow My Nails for Years, But These Tips Actually Helped
“Weak, brittle nails can be an indicator that something internally needs targeted attention, as what’s going on internally manifests externally and usually affects how our nails, hair and skin look, feel and behave,” explains Shand. “The great news is you can naturally support the health of your nails by nourishing your body with an abundance of nutrient-dense whole foods, eating protein with each meal and not underestimating the importance of good fats in your diet,” she adds. “Weak nails are usually associated with a deficiency in B vitamins, iron, calcium and fatty acids, so ensuring you regularly include plenty of rich sources such as oily fish including wild salmon, eggs and (especially fermented) dairy in your diet is a great place to start. Supple...
Every Fashion Person I Know Gets Their Elevated Basics From This French Brand
But it’s not just these cult sellout items that The Frankie Shop does well—everything from its basic T-shirts to its perfect shirts and tailoring have proven popular with fashion insiders, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a stylish wardrobe that didn’t contain something from the brand these days. The key, in my opinion, is that The Frankie Shop consistently nails those easy basics that slip effortlessly into your current wardrobe, but there’s always a cool twist to them that elevates everything you pair its pieces with. That, plus the relatively affordable price point that still allows for the great quality you want from your classics but won’t break the bank, and you’ve got yourself a winning fashion fo...
9 Easy Outfit Ideas That Will Make You Feel Your Best on a First Date
When it comes to dressing for a first date, there’s a general rule of thumb I think always works. First is the art of subtle elevation. Much like the no-makeup makeup look, there are little details that’ll quietly elevate a look, like jewellery, a plush bag or tailoring with strappy heels. Second is comfort. If you’re not a heel wearer, opt for something you feel relaxed in. Slip-on flats are equally chic. Dressing for all eventualities is a form of empowerment. Of course, the type of date has a bearing on your outfit choice, as you’re less likely to turn up to a picnic in 10-inch stilettos. (Although, if that’s what you fancy, wear them with pride!) There’s an evident playfulness with this season’s most famed pieces—cut-outs, minis and ankle-strap heels—so there are va...

I Just Found 25 Of the Most Expensive-Looking Summer Pieces From Warehouse
As a fashion editor, I’m always on the look out for those special pieces that truly make your wardrobe work harder. You know, those easy to wear classics you can turn to on any given morning and feel 100% confident in. Usually the sweet spot is somewhere between making you feel polished but still comfortable, like the perfect wide-leg trouser for example, or a chic knit dress. Sometimes, these items require a bit more of an investment, especially when you want guaranteed quality that will last for many seasons to come. Brands like Frankie Shop, Totême, or even The Row are overflowing with these kinds of wardrobe heroes. But realistically, we can’t all afford to fill our entire wardrobes with investment pieces, and so a huge part of my day to day job here at Who What Wear is focused on pinp...
Prepare to See These Joyful Summer Shoes All Over Instagram
In our eyes, the old adage that shoes make the outfit has never been up for debate—it’s a plain and simple truth. But fabulous footwear doesn’t have to mean crippling high heels that look better on a shelf than on some unhappy feet. Since our lifestyles dramatically shifted a couple of years ago and comfort became the number-one driving factor in many of our purchases, designers and brands are finally starting to combine the fun with the practical. Now, you’ll find cool and interesting touches on practical, infinitely wearable pieces, and our wardrobes are pleased about it. One particular shoe brand that has run with this concept of joyful, ergonomically friendly shoes is FitFlop—did you know that each style is biomechanically engineered to complement your body’s st...
9 Easy Outfit Ideas Which Will Make You Feel Your Best On A First Date
When it comes to dressing for a first date there’s a general rule of thumb I think always works. Firstly, the art of subtle elevation. Much like the no-makeup, makeup look there are little details that’ll quietly elevate a look – like jewellery, a plush bag, or tailoring with strappy heels. Secondly, comfort. If you’re not a heels wearer, switch footwear for something you feel relaxed in. Slip-on flats are equally chic. Dressing for all eventualities is a form of empowerment. Of course, the type of date has a bearing on your outfit choice, as you’re less likely to turn up to a picnic in 10-inch stilettos (although if that’s what you fancy wear them with pride!).

33 Epic Pieces To Wear On Your Hen Do—Whatever Plans You Have In Store
It’s wedding season, which also means that it’s hen do season, as brides-to-be take a moment to celebrate their upcoming nuptials with their closest friends. From BBQs in the garden to whirlwind trips to Ibiza, people can approach hen dos in wildly different ways. However whatever level you want to go to with your hen do, we’ve found the perfect outfit so you don’t have to spend hours trawling for ‘the one’.

We here at Who What Wear don’t follow or dictate rules when it comes to outfit ideas, so we’ve also included some inspiration ...
Fluffy Supermodel Hair Is Having a Moment—Here’s How to Create It
You only have to open Instagram or TikTok to notice that one particular hair trend is totally taking off right now. Fluffy hair is making a major comeback, and we’re here for it. But what exactly is fluffy hair? Clueless‘s Alicia Silvertone is perhaps one of the most well-known poster girls for the trend, and we’re also looking back to ’90s supermodels such as Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer for their bouncy runway blowouts. It is characterised by lots of rounded layers, volume, flicked-under ends and lengths that have a springy bounce. The finish is less glossy than Hollywood waves yet more “done” than beach waves. Think more of a focus on texture and volume. And with influencers such as Matilda Djerf taking on the trend and ...
