6 Spring Blazer-and-Legging Outfits That Are Perfect for Wearing Right Now
If you can’t, for the life of you, figure out what to wear right now— don’t worry, you’re not alone. I think I speak for all of us all when I say we’re feeling the same— especially when one minute spring is in full swing and the next it’s time to bring those wool coats out again. It’s during these awkward transitional times that us Who What Wear editors turn to our most reliable outfits. The ones we know, whatever the weather, will make us look effortless and feel our best. When in doubt, simple and effective is our motto and the look in particular I’ve been reaching for over and over again recently is the classic blazer-and-legging combo. It’s comfy thanks to the leggings, and it’s polished thanks to the blazer, which just so happens to also be the perfect spring jacket layer. So re...
This Jewellery Collection Has Made us Want to Book a Holiday ASAP
Hands up who’s ready for a holiday? With the freedom to roam the world once again, we can’t help but keep a list of top destinations to visit in our notes app. That feeling of having the warm air hit you in the face as you step off the plane at your chosen exotic destination is incomparable.

These Are the Only 16 Exfoliators That Actually Help Get Rid of My Blackheads
But the truth is, as with most things in life, the real sweet spot for our skin sits somewhere in the middle. Yes, we need to be protecting our skin barriers, but exfoliation is also key in keeping skin glowy and free from congestion. As someone with oily, congested skin, this is something I had to figure out the hard way. You see, I’ve grappled with blackheads my whole life. I genuinely can’t remember a time when my nose wasn’t covered in those pesky, pin-prick dots. Over the past couple of years, with beauty messaging telling me that I should prioritise the health of my skin barrier, I had become somewhat scared of exfoliation. As a result, my blackheads got a whole lot worse. I have since realised that exfoliation does have its place. It’s about taking things easy, choosing t...
15 Beauty Editors on the Affordable Products That Rival Expensive Buys
“Yes, the name sounds like it promises movie poster levels of mascara extra-ness that’s bound to disappoint, but this mascara actually delivers. The chunky brush (colossal, if you will) lengthens your lashes without any clumps, perfectly fanning out even the trickiest ones in the corners, and the formula is 100% smudge-free, which, for my tiny hooded eyelids is essential. No more socially awkward encounters with people staring at your mascara tears. And all for less than the price of a Pret lunch. Writing this has actually reminded me to go and buy one.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

10 Expensive-Looking Staples Every Wardrobe Would Benefit From
I admit it; I have expensive taste, and I’m also quite (read: very) picky. I always have been. When I was a teenager, knowledge of labels generally wasn’t as prevalent as now (we have the internet social media to thank for that). But, even then, I still found myself gravitating toward pieces of substance and brands of note over the quick and easy wardrobe updates that would tempt my friends. I dressed older than my years, which, at the time, sometimes meant I felt the opposite of “trendy“. Looking back, however, at photographs of my best friend’s 16th birthday party, to which I wore wide-leg tailored trousers and a silky camisole, I’m just grateful that such photographs don’t make me cringe today. Now, a full-fledged adult, I’m stil...

There’s a New Diamond of the Season: Meet Bridgerton Actress Charithra Chandran
Chandran’s road to Bridgerton was not without a plot twist worthy of a show itself, though. “Oh my God, it is a very complicated story. At the time, it was filled with lots of dread, but obviously, it’s worth it now and maybe worth it for the cool story,” she exhales, preparing to recount her lengthy audition process. “I first auditioned for the role of Kate back in November 2020 before the first season even came out [and] when the first trailer had literally just dropped. My agent was like, ‘I don’t know if you’ve seen this, but I have attached a trailer to this new show. Let me know what you think. They want you to audition.’ I saw it and was in love. I thought, ‘Oh my God, firstly, this is so fucking cool. Secondly, this is just going to be a megahit.’ So I auditioned in November, had a...
The Spring 2022 Shopping Guide: Where to Buy the 12 Biggest Trends of the Season
There’s something for everyone in the spring shopping line-up this year—from elevated denim separates to gravity-defying platforms—but I have to say that after minimalism’s dominance over the last few years, it’s been refreshing to see an abundance of colour and prints take over both the designer runways and high-street rails for spring/summer 2022. Perhaps it’s the fashion world’s attempt to manifest joy after a long lockdown or simply a craving to shake up the sartorial agenda, but whatever it is, we are here for it. Photo: The Style Stalker; Gucci S/S 22; Bottega Veneta S/S 22; Chloé S/S 22 As always, it’s our job to compile the ultimate shopping list for the new season—handpicking the key themes from the runways and condensing them into an edit that works for our busy and mu...
Victoria Beckham Talked Me Through Her Beauty Routine and the Products She Loves
Beckham’s fashion choices are well documented, and certain styling tricks—super-long trousers here, a pair of giant shades there—are instantly recognisable. But she has also crafted a signature makeup look over time. You may not have noticed because it’s subtle and timeless, but more often than not, Beckham will be seen with a classic smokey eye, a soft nude lip and strong, defined eyebrows. So what are the exact products in her makeup bag behind this trademark aesthetic? “Every day, I use my Smoky Eye Brick in Signature. I start by using the lightest shade as a primer, then the pink shade all over, then mid-tone brown to contour eyelids and use a dusting along lash line and under my eye for that smokey look,” she tells me. “Then, I take the darkest blue from Smoky Eye Brick in Royal, and ...
This Just In: 10 New Beauty Trends That Will Dominate All Year
Glowing skin has been on the makeup agenda for ages, but this season, a more natural approach to makeup is key. And no, it isn’t just applicable for those with smooth-as-butter complexions. The trend is moving far more towards skincare being fully entwined with makeup, rather than makeup being seen as a cover-up. “Skin is a key component in executing any makeup look. Skincare should feel low-maintenance, quick and uncomplicated. I always push skin as a makeup trend, but it’s not really a trend. It’s about loving the skin you’re in and creating a lit-from-within look. Beautiful skin really does start from within,” says Campbell Ritchie, celebrity makeup artist and Chantecaille ambassador. Getting a great base in 2022 is all about adopting the self-care rituals typical...
These Affordable Beauty Products Were Used At The Oscars – And They’re Under £15
Once again, the beauty looks at the Oscars 2022 did not disappoint. We’ve been glued to the red carpet looks, plotting which make-up and hair moments we’re going to try out ourselves. From Zendaya’s swept updo to Lupita Nyongo’s gilded eye look, the beauty was nothing short of chic. As much as we love finding out which luxury beauty brands are worth investing in, we also love a budget alterative that does the job. Whether it is cheap moisturisers that rival their luxury counterparts or the best budget-friendly concealers that give high end ones a run for their money, any beauty editor will tell you that it isn’t always necessary to spend a fortune to get brilliant products. And while you might expect the Oscar-goers to wear only the best of the best of premium brands, you’ll...
