Zoë Kravitz Wore the Shoe Trend That’s Overshadowing Flats
Zoë Kravitz is currently traveling the world promoting The Batman, and all I can say is that I wish she was out promoting something every day of the year. What can I say? I love daily Zoë Kravitz sightings. But the look I’m reporting on today is an off-duty one, worn earlier this month in New York. The all-black outfit I’m referring to is by The Row, a brand Kravitz has worn many times in the past. She completed the look with a trendy pair of shoes that serve as a reminder of how popular platform shoes are becoming as of late. In Kravitz’s case, the trend is represented via a pair of patent-leather platform ankle boots. But now that we’re transitioning into spring, influential brands such as Versace, Bottega Veneta, and Gucci are ...
7 Anti-Trend Outfits I’m Seeing Everyone Wear Right Now
Lately, I’ve noticed an uptick in the number of classic outfits landing on the fashion set. I attribute it to the impact the lockdowns have had on our wardrobes—fewer occasions to wear trendy items and a larger focus on buying great staples and investment pieces. But that isn’t to say that trendy fashion is fading away. Micro miniskirts, oversized leather jackets, Y2K style, high-impact colours and a fresh crop of micro-trends are in full force for spring. No matter where you land on the trend-adoption spectrum, though, it’s always a great idea to have an array of timeless looks on standby. With a small collection of wardrobe capsule pieces, you can create a number of polished, easy looks that work season after season. It all comes down to so...
I’ve Been a Stylist for 10 Years, and I Swear By H&M’s Affordable Cashmere
The luxurious fine wool is widely considered a wardrobe classic thanks to its high quality, warmth and super-soft texture, but it’s also most often associated with inaccessibly high prices. I’m here to prove that not all cashmere comes at designer price points, though. We’ve reported before on the joys of M&S and other high-street cashmere, but my favourite after a decade as a stylist has to be H&M’s. It does excellent classics like crew-neck jumpers, but it also thinks outside the box in terms of design, so you can find things like cashmere leggings, shorts and wide-leg trousers on offer. This is comfort but done in a seriously elevated way. And price-wise? Most cashmere pieces on H&M’s site fall into the premium edit, which me...
This Perfect Breton Top Is the Only New Thing I’ve Bought So Far This Year
I’m not much of a New Year’s resolution maker, but for 2022, I made the decision to try and buy less new clothing. Of course, I have to add the caveat that I am sent the odd fashion item as part of my job. However, within my personal spending allowance, I wanted to, where possible, look for items second-hand first before I took the plunge with a new purchase. So far this year, I have made one concession: a perfect Breton top from COS. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

And Now, the Controversial Trend Already Taking Over for Spring
The S/S 22 runways made one thing clear: Y2K fashion is back. For spring, brands ushered in so many takes on 2000s style that it cannot be ignored, and it is already continuing into the incoming A/W 22 collections, so I know it’s not a fleeting trend. This time around, though, brands have reimagined the OG pieces with modern twists that make them more wearable, in my opinion. Just look at the updated takes on low-rise pants, one of the most controversial trends of the season. While the trend might conjure images of Paris Hilton in tight jeans with a two-inch rise, low-rise pants have been rethought in 2022. Now, we’re seeing styles with wider, slouchier silhouettes, long inseams, and rises that sit underneath the waist. The updated proportions feel much more...
I Predict This Dress Trend Will Be Everywhere in 3 Months’ Time
Silky, stretchy, clingy and oh so chic—there’s a new breed of dress that is taking over this spring, and one that we predict will be everywhere in three months’ time. Acting as a counterpoint to the roomy throw-on frocks that have proliferated over the last few years, the second-skin dress was spotted in a variety of guises at the likes of Rejina Pyo, Jil Sander, Victoria Beckham and Loewe. Some manifested in dramatic, flowing jersey, while others opted for sultrier cut-out details, but every single one could not feel further from the tent dresses that carried us through the lockdown. This is, perhaps, no coincidence. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power. Ge...
We Spent Hours Trying On the Best of the High Street— Here’s What We Loved
Scrolling continuously through the new-in sections of the digital high street has been useful in getting an idea of what’s out there. There’s often a lot more choice online these days, and a lot more diverse options, too. But nothing really compares to seeing pieces in real life, feeling the fabrics and trying them on ourselves before we give you our verdicts and recommendations. That’s why over the past couple of weeks all of the Who What Wear UK editors have been popping into the biggest high street destinations— from H&M to M&S, Mango to Arket— and reporting back on what we’ve found. There’s been some real hits, and a few pieces we’ve admittedly left the shops with for ourselves. So, with March arriving and spring very much on the horizon, we thought it ...
Prediction: Everyone Will Be Wearing 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.

There Are Many Slip Dresses in the World, But These Are the Best
Often cut on the bias angle of cloth to ensure a body-hugging fit, the slip dress’s signature traits include spaghetti straps, a midi length, slinky fabric and a subtle V-front neckline. However, as its popularity continues to grow, we’re seeing different iterations begin to take shape—think thicker straps, neckline variations and more structured silhouettes. What’s more, they’ve transformed from being an after-dark item to a daytime staple, too. When worn over T-shirts and paired with a chunky cardigan and kicks, a slip dress becomes more versatile than you may have initially thought.

We Spent Hours Trying On the Best of the High Street— Here’s Our Verdict
Our aim on Who What Wear UK throughout February was to cut through the noise of the busy high street and really focus in on the coolest, most exciting buys that are truly worth your money for the new season ahead. Because let’s face it, there’s a lot out there to choose from. Between the high street, designer second-hand and independent brands popping up, it can be difficult to pinpoint what to get from where, and which pieces will make a difference to your current collection. If the last month of analysing the new spring drops from the trusty British high street has taught us anything, though, it’s that it is still worth your consideration. Especially if you’re looking for trend led options to dip your toe into before investing more heavily in, or more affordable options of classic ...
Kaia Gerber’s Perfect Spring Dress Is From Every Influencer’s Favourite Brand
Kaia Gerber might be one of the world’s most in-demand models, but when she’s not on the runway, jetting between shows or shooting her latest campaign, Gerber’s going on chill lunch dates with Austin Butler in Los Angeles. For one such outing, she turned to the dress brand just about every fashion person I know loves: Dôen. An export from the U.S., Dôen used to be notoriously difficult for us Brits to get our hands on. Now, however, the brand ships to the UK (though we advise checking the shipping and duty costs before you purchase), while a curated edit of its wares is available to shop on Net-a-Porter, too. The latter is something our homegrown influencers have been making the most of since it launched on NAP a couple of years ago, but...
I’m So Into Hailey Bieber’s Latest Jeans-and-Blazer Outfit
Of course, this is no ordinary jeans-and-blazer look; Bieber gave it her Midas touch by choosing oversized iterations of each garment to create a cool, louche silhouette—one that feels intrinsically ’90s. The jeans and blazer both come from celebrity-favourite brand Khaite, which specialises in creating clothes that are low-key but always elevated. The throwback, however, didn’t stop there. Bieber used Nike Air Force kicks, a black leather belt and a gold herringbone chain to complete her look—all pieces that populated the best ’90s wardrobes. Her dedication can only be applauded. If, like me, you’re pretty taken with Hailey Bieber’s laid-back Paris Fashion Week look, I’ve done the hard work for you by breaking it down into bitesized pieces. Scroll on to see the items you’ll ne...
