26 Joyful Dresses to Buy for Spring, and Love Forever
The relationship between a fashion person and their dress collection is one that shouldn’t be underestimated. Name an occasion, life event or even just a previous dinner plan and no doubt they’ll be able to tell you what they were wearing—and it’s usually always a dress that’s most memorable. There’s not a date in the diary that a dress can’t be worn, and this is why they deserve recognition. For spring, they’re basically an essential, and there are so many new dress brands we’re excited to wear. When it comes to the best designer dresses, though, we always know where to head to for certain styles. You can rely on the likes Christopher Esper, Jacquemus and Johanna Ortiz to tick off the cut-out trend, Aje and Faithfull The Brand to cover puff sleeves and Vic...

I Tried So Many Spring Dresses to Bring You the 10 Best on the High Street
The weather might be playing catch up but we’re always two steps ahead of the forecast, and the best spring dresses are available right now, even if the April snow has altered plans for when we’ll be able to wear them. There’s never anything wrong with being prepared, and the truth is that snoozing on the new-in spring dresses that are filtering onto the high street at the moment isn’t a wise idea if you’ve seen something you like—they are already selling out. Case in point: The incredible H&M fringed style I’ve tried on below is now like gold-dust and almost impossible to find in stores or online until a restock occurs. It’s a bit of an in-between period in the shops right now where you still have a mish-mash of wintery...
This Frankie Shop Quilted Jacket Is Perfect for Spring
It may be spring, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to pack jackets away. It is the UK, after all. It’s our job to keep on the cutting edge of all things trend-related for spring/summer, but we wanted to tell you about the jacket that has been going strong since winter. The Frankie Shop Quilted Ripstock Jacket has been spotted on every fashion editor and influencer for months, so naturally, the style sold out at record speed, but we are happy to report that it’s finally back in two new chic colourways. And now, there’s another Frankie Shop style to choose from: the Teddy, which features the same statement quilting and large pockets as the Ripstop but with upgrades including contrasting plackets. You Deserve to Make Money Even When yo...
8 Jeans Trends Fashion People Will Live In This Summer
While many of us consider jeans a year-round staple, it’s understandable if you’re a little tired of wearing them by the time summer rolls around. Personally, I live in jeans during winter and spring, switching out knitwear for milkmaid tops when the weather allows. So, by summer, often I find that jeans take a back seat to dresses and skirts. This, however, is something of an injustice. After all, which wardrobe item is as reliable as a pair of jeans? Whatever your sartorial dilemma may be, they’re there for you—all you need do is pull them on. So, with the intention of showing them the appreciation they deserve this summer, I’ve charted the trending styles that’ll make you fall in love with your jeans all over again. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Onl...
U.S. Beauty Editors Rave About These Products, So I’m Giving Them a Go
And while I know that a big chunk of the beauty products team U.S. wax lyrical about aren’t available on UK shores, it’s my job to know what’s trending in different corners of the world. Whenever a product crops up that I know isn’t available in the UK, I pop it into Google to see what it has to say for itself. I scroll through U.S. beauty sites to read reviews, check their retailers, and dissect their ingredients lists for any up-and-coming ingredients trends. But imagine my surprise when not once, not twice, but three times in the past month I have Googled a U.S.-adored beauty product to discover that actually it is available in the UK—I’ve just never heard of it. It got me thinking about all of the brilliant beauty product...
31 Mango Items Fashion Editors Have on Their Spring Wish Lists
If you were to ask any of the Who What Wear fashion team what’s on their spring/summer 2022 wish list, there would of course be a Toteme trench, Loewe bag (hello, new Luna style) and some of the new season Chanel sandals. While we hope these three wishes could be granted, often it’s the more affordable items on our lists we actually end up buying. And when it comes to expensive-looking pieces that won’t cost an arm and a leg, Mango is one of our all time favourites. We’re not the only ones, with the well-known hashtag #MangoGirls having 212,158 posts (last time we checked), the high street hero has loyal fans eager to show off their new buys. And among these, are the fashion influencers wearing Mango that made us hop straight into the ‘new in’ section to see what’s on offer....
All I Want to Wear in 2022 Are Trousers and Love These 7 Styling Ideas
I have to confess. I had planned to write this story about new styling ideas for 2022 from the spring/summer collections. After completing my research for the piece, I looked through my saved images and noticed that seven out of eight of the styling ideas that had stood out to me all involved a pair of trousers. So here we are. This is now a story about how to wear trousers in 2022 because they’re clearly all I am paying attention to right now. Our most-read stories of the month are pretty much all about wide-leg trousers, so I’m not alone in my trouser obsession. It seems like we’re all ready to get out of the leggings and comfortable trousers and return to more tailored styles. Designers such as Peter Do, Proenza Schouler and Victoria Beckham showed ...

If Your Skincare and Makeup Are Pilling, Here Are 6 Ways to Stop It
Silicone is a very popular ingredient in a number of skincare products. It helps to smooth the appearance of skin, leaving it feeling silky-soft. But while silicones certainly have their benefits in skincare, they also play a big part in pilling. “Watch out for using too much silicone,” warns Helen Cowan, senior skin therapist at Dr Nestor’s Medical Cosmetic Centre, Edinburgh. “Silicone doesn’t absorb into the skin. When you apply a serum or moisturiser followed by makeup products that contain silicones, the skin doesn’t absorb the products, causing them to pill.” Most commonly found in skin-smoothing primers, pre-makeup moisturisers and SPFs, silicones can hide in unlikely places. If a product feels particularly smoothing and silky, ther...
This French-Girl Shoe Trend Is All I Want to Wear This Spring
Their popularity is undoubtedly thanks, in part, to Chanel’s iconic iteration and the effortless French-girl-style connotations that come with them. But it’s also a result of how versatile ballet pumps can be. Dressed up or down, they add a polished finishing touch to any outfit— from a casual T-shirt and cropped jeans to a mini skirt— and I’ll happily claim that a more perfect spring shoe never existed. As boot season comes to an end but it’s not quite time to get your toes out in sandals— ballet flats provide the perfect transitional solution. As consistently timeless as they are, like any fashion piece ballet flats have seen their place as the industry’s most coveted spring shoe fluctuate season on season. The last few years, for example, loafers have pipped them to the top spot. ...
