I’ve Just Assembled 5 Expensive-Looking Spring Outfits Entirely From H&M
Although we’re usually big believers at Who What Wear in a diverse wardrobe that includes secondhand pieces, independent labels, designer investments and high street winners— there’s something time efficient about finding a whole new outfit all in one place, isn’t there? Plus, it’s guaranteed to look seamlessly pulled together since all the pieces have one brand’s aesthetic. It’s a bit of a hack that I wouldn’t encourage all the time, but it works for me when I need an easy, instant wardrobe boost I can count on. There are a few high street stalwarts I always rely on for this exercise, but H&M in particular never lets me down— especially when I’m on the hunt for really polished pieces at affordable prices. My taste is very classic— the older I get the more timeless I li...
7 Spring Trends Our Editors Are Skipping—and 7 They’re Wearing Instead
To say that we’re excited about spring would be a gargantuan understatement. With weddings back on the agenda (the sort that bears a striking resemblance to those held prior to 2020), holidays on the horizon, and the general enthusiasm that comes with brighter, warmer days, spring is all we can talk about right now. And with it, a large portion of our conversations centre around what we’ll be wearing this spring. Like anyone else, each of our editors has their own unique aesthetic, honed by the things which they, of course, like, but also defined by the things they don’t. What you choose not to wear says just as much about you as the things you do, and our editors are no exception to this rule. Curious to find out what they’ll actuall...
Honestly, These 9 Subtle Fragrances Make Me Smell So Rich
Don’t get me wrong. I love a heady, strong perfume more than anyone. Perfume is the perfect way to make a lasting impression. But here’s a totally counterintuitive notion: Subtle perfumes make the biggest impressions. I rotate perfumes pretty much every day, and I’ve found that when I wear a subtle, inconspicuous scent, people are always the most intrigued. I think it’s because subtle scents inherently have a bit more mystery to them. They’re not in your face, but they definitely still make a quiet statement. That’s what makes them so appealing. A subtle scent will leave someone thinking about how good you smell, and it won’t seem like you tried too hard to smell good. Below, I’ve rounded up my favourite subtle scents, which are guaranteed to get you at least one “you smell so good” commen...
Prediction: Everyone Will Want to Wear This Designer Bag in 2022
As far as we’re concerned, no designer handbag collection is complete without the addition of a Saint Laurent bag. We believe them to be just as classic as Chanel, Hermès, Celine and Dior, and we think they deserve just as much consideration if you’re fortunate enough to be contemplating a new designer-handbag purchase. Founded in 1961, the French fashion house designed pieces that tapped into the utilitarianism that many designers at the time embraced by way of tailoring and heavier fabrications. Although bags were never brand founder Yves Saint Laurent’s primary focus, he approached the category with the same utilitarian goal to create items of quality, practicality and longevity.

21 Items That Are Reaching Cult Status This Month
Fashion month has understandably been very subdued over the past two years. However, this season, more designers showed their collections in person. More events meant more guests and in turn more street style images for us to pore over. It is still such a treat to see people having fun with their clothes again, experimenting with innovative styling moves and dressing up. What buyers, editors and industry insiders wear outside the shows now has almost as much impact on how people dress as the runways do. Instead of a preview of what will be coming in six months’ time, these are styling ideas that can be copied and items that can be purchased right now. Every season, we create this Shop the Street story, which is a wish list inspired by the items we see over fashion month. We’ve ...

When it comes to shopping edits, I always feel like less is more (which is why I stick to 9 items in my weekly new-in update). It can be all too easy to feel overwhelmed by the hundreds of items on offer online, whether it’s designer, high-street or even vintage retailers.

I Don’t Trust Anything I See on TikTok, But This Concealer Really Is Magic
I would also like to caveat here that not only is TikTok-recommended beauty not my thing, but neither is KVD Beauty as a brand. I like chic, luxe, svelte makeup, the sort that sparks the same kind of joy as a luxury handbag. KVD Beauty is none of that. It’s clearly aimed at a slightly younger audience and champions an almost gimmicky aesthetic. I have used some of the products before and liked the results but they’ve never stuck around in my routine. When I first tried Good Apple Concealer, I already had some understanding of what the results would look like thanks to the countless TikToks I had seen—creamy, easy to blend and seriously full coverage. As someone with quite incessant acne scarring and in-your-face dark circles, I feel somewhat qualified to say that I really do know qui...
I Just Tried On So Many High Street Leather Trousers— These 12 Were the Best
They’re undeniably versatile and a year-round staple. Okay, maybe you wouldn’t choose them on the hottest day in August, but they’re perfect for spring when all you need to wear with them is a crisp white shirt or T-shirt and a trench or light spring jacket. Come autumn just add knits and in winter they become the perfect party pants. They may be an investment but once you find the perfect style, at least you can be sure you’ll get your money’s worth out of them. These days leather trousers come in all shapes and sizes— from straight-leg to wide-leg, plus size and petite. And not just black leather either, there’s also creamy beiges and shades of green for spring. Most high street retailers (and a lot of designers) have at ...
I Have Type 4 Hair, and I’m Never Without These Products
Caring for my hair hasn’t been an easy feat, type hair 4 comes with its own set of delicate requirements. I’ve been on a long quest to figure out the best products and practices for my hair. Nnene, however, has transformed her daughter’s hair and helped many women on their natural hair journey. Her top three tips for caring for type 4 hair include: “always detangle before washing” to reduce breakage, “oiling ends, to prevent hair strands getting caught in drying fabrics like necks of sweaters, caps, cotton pillowcases, synthetic braids’’, and most importantly, “wash your scalp thoroughly” as product build-up can lead to a host of problems. Knowing my hair type and curl pattern has significantly improved my haircare routine. However, this is not the only factor at play...
Kate Middleton Wore the Pretty Colour That’s Trending at Zara and COS
Apologies in advance for the royal pun here, but Kate Middleton is undoubtedly the queen of colour. We can probably assume that she’s following in the footsteps of Queen Elizabeth, who always wears bright colours so that she can be spotted in a crowd. Or maybe Middleton just likes her brights (and has brushed up on her spring/summer 2022 fashion trends via our bumper report). Either way, she’s been known to wear trendy colours right as they’re gaining steam, and that was certainly the case today at the annual Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey. This time, the buzzy colour trend we’re referring to (which happens to be quite pretty and flattering on everyone) is cobalt blue. It’s a hue we spotted all o...
