What Sienna Miller Wears Instead of Jeans and a Nice Top
Where many might have chosen a pretty, sparkly dress, for the occasion, Miller kept things low-key and inherently cool, opting for a pair of wide-leg leather trousers and a cute bouclé cropped cardigan—a very sleek alternative to the jeans-and-a-nice top outfit combination we all know and love, wouldn’t you agree. To finish the look, Miller added a short gold necklace, chandelier earrings, black strappy sandals and, naturally, a Chanel Hannah. In fact, her cardigan and trousers also came courtesy of Chanel but, thankfully, it is incredibly easy to re-create the pairing. And we fully intend on doing so. Whatever your budget, Scroll on to shop the pieces you need to mimic Sienna Miller’s stylish black leather trousers and crop top look. You Deserve to Mak...

The 94th Academy Awards are here, and they’re poised to be a dazzling, star-studded affair. To celebrate 2021’s absolute best films, all of our favorite celebrities are gathering in Los Angeles. While we always drool over the glamorous gowns and glittering jewelry, we’re really looking forward to seeing some impressive beauty looks.

From Hepburn to Aniston: 49 Oscars Red Carpet Looks We’ll Never Get Over
Photo: Rick Rowell via Getty Images Awards season is back, and the jewel in its crown—the Oscars—is upon us. Sure, most of us night spend our days in sweatpants and jeans, but we’re looking forward to the sartorial escapism that the Oscars red carpet will bring this year. Since 1929, the Academy Awards has maintained firm footing in the zeitgeist not only by being a point of contention and conversation but also for history-making moments, including some of the best red carpet looks of all time. While some years are more memorable than others, we prefer to focus on the standout moments that made us smile. Sequins, satin, and sleeveless dresses may be timeless, but the best Oscars looks of all time aren’t always the safest bet—they’re daring, bold, and sometimes deemed “...
15 Perfumes That Leave You Smelling Freshly-Showered All Day Long
There are few fragrance trends that I can’t get on board with. I like strong, deep and woody perfumes, I like lightly floral perfumes and I can’t get enough of warm, citrus scents, too. In fact, I don’t believe in sticking to one fragrance family at all. The truth is certain notes smell entirely different at different concentrations and when blended with others. My fragrance mantra is to choose your perfumes with your nose, not your knowledge. This makes my job hard. But that’s why, when writing about fragrance, I try my very best to ignore talk of notes completely and instead attempt (often poorly) to describe the perfumes as a whole and the feeling that comes with them. Personally, I don’t find myself leaning towards any one note and instead gravitate towards what I ...
48 Beauty Products Editors Love Enough to Spend Their Own Money On
Full disclosure: As editors, we get to try products for free sometimes. (And if you’re a beauty editor, that turns out to be all the time.) It’s certainly a perk, but it would also be quite hard to write beauty stories without actually trying the items being discussed. Even though we try new products often and may not necessarily need another sunscreen, for example, sometimes, we get so hooked on something that we feel inclined to go out and buy it. Other times, we’ll buy something simply based on word of mouth or reviews. Below, a handful of Who What Wear beauty and fashion editors divulged to me the products they use that are worthy of buying for themselves. I also included the ones I’m always replenishing myself and don’t know what ...
Fashion People Can’t Stop Wearing This Very Specific Colour Right Now
Thanks to Bottega Veneta, the colour Kelly green became something of a micro-trend last year. Aside from making the luxury brand’s shoes and bags instantly recognisable, it didn’t take long for this vibrant shade of green to start cropping up in the collections of various designers and stores. Now, fast-forward to spring 2022, the hue has transcended from fashion footnote to style headliner. Everywhere I look, be it in the new-in sections I scour daily to my Instagram feed, I see Kelly green. Bottega Veneta might have put it on the style map, but Kelly green has long been noteworthy on the colour spectrum. An intense green that can be found in-between the blue and yellow on the colour wheel, the name Kelly comes from the traditional Irish family name as the colour is commonly associated wi...
I’m a Polished Dresser on a Budget— Here’s Where I Buy My Spring Tailoring
Okay, I admit it— I have expensive taste. When it comes to building my closet as a fashion editor in my thirties, I tend to err on the side of minimalist tailoring and elevated basics which tend to look better in beautiful, expensive fabrics. Often I think to myself I could do with an extra few zeros on the end of my bank balance to be able to indulge my fantasy of owning a capsule wardrobe filled with brands like The Row and Totême. But in reality, that’s far from a priority— and after almost a decade of working in the industry I’ve had to get resourceful with my shopping habits in order to find the most expensive-looking pieces for more affordable prices. Not to toot my own horn, but I’ve gotten pretty good at it— and I now know which stores are best for which pieces, and...
If Bridgerton Characters Were Perfumes, These Are the Scents They’d Be
At Who What Wear, we’re major Bridgerton and fragrance fans. And as season two arrives (anyone else binged it already?) the office soon got chatting about the leading ladies of Bridgerton and what fragrance they would be. With the arrival of spring, we are already switching up our winter perfumes for these classic spring fragrances, and we know the scents that will bag you the most compliments so, it was only natural that we cast our noses to what the Bridgerton characters might wear as they navigate the soirees and scandals of the 1800s. With that in mind, you are cordially invited to read on to find out what fragrances the ladies of the ton might spritz… You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

I’ve Been Looking for the Perfect Spring Trousers, and COS Has Just Delivered
When you’re searching for the perfect version of a certain wardrobe basic, it can come down to the smallest of details: the curve of a neckline, the exact shade of blue or the way a hemline grazes your calf just so. Well, this has definitely been the case in my recent search for the perfect pair of spring trousers. Despite being a confident dresser, I find that I struggle during the warmer months, and it doesn’t exactly help that I don’t wear many dresses. My thinking was that I’d just live in loose beige trousers, white T-shirts and chunky sandals for most of the summer. However, this meant finding a pair of beige trousers that didn’t look like I had just stepped out of a university sports club social. You Deserve to Ma...
I Have Acne Scarring, and These Are the Only Products That Help
For most of my life, I have been blessed with pretty clear and even skin. While many of my friends battled with acne at school and throughout their teenage years, my skin stayed clear and blemish-free. That was until I hit my late 20s and I started to develop adult acne. Since then, I struggle to name a time that my face hasn’t had some sort of breakout or blemish. It is as though every time a spot started to heal, another would crop up. And so, I have been in a three-year cycle of breakouts, healing and scarring. However, since seeking professional help from a dermatologist last year, things have been looking up. I haven’t had a notable breakout in four months (which is almost miraculous), and in terms of active spots, my skin is probably the clearest it has been in years. ...
Blame Bridgerton—Here Are 11 Ways I’d Style a Corset Top This Century
I’m always here for a period drama, mostly for the outfits, and the Bridgerton costume department hasn’t disappointed with its fashionable take on bustles and empire gowns. Perhaps, however, the corset top is the most malleable Bridgerton-inspired piece you can add to your wardrobe. If you doubt the show’s influence on our outfits, let me enlighten you. Intel from Depop shows that corset tops are currently number three on the most-searched-for items on the fashion resale platform. Furthermore, in the last three months, there has been a 155% increase in searches for the term “Regency core,” also on Depop. I feel seen. So whether you’re fully subscribing to the Regency-core aesthetic or are looking for a subtler way to b...
