I’m a Shopping Expert—Here’s Everything on My March Wish List
You’re only human if you find these seasonal changes in wardrobe mindset a little tricky, though. Even I struggle remembering how to dress for warmer climes after months of hiding under chunky puffers, and I’ve been a stylist for almost 10 years. Like I said, you’ll probably own a lot of what you love wearing in spring already, and then it’s just a case of adding in a few fresh items to bring everything up to date and, let’s be honest, get you excited about wearing all your outfits again. There’s a lot of choice out there when it comes to new spring buys, though, and so I thought it might be helpful to put together a shopping guide of all the pieces I’m particularly loving this March to provide some inspiration for the season ahead. After all, as a Who What Wear editor...
The 7 Colours Everyone Will Be Wearing in 2022, According to Pantone
Spring is finally just around the corner, and sartorially speaking, there is plenty to look forward to. Today, we’ll be honing in on one of our favourite subjects, colours, and which hues are going to bring us the most excitement for the season ahead. While we already did our own report according to what we saw in the S/S 22 collections, this time, we looked to the colour experts at Pantone for even further insight. The Pantone Color Institute could be deemed as the colour-trend authority, so when it released its fashion week colour report, we had to share. A majority of the shades for 2022 are eye-catching and saturated, while there are a few understated options in the mix like Orchid Bloom and Humus. Below, find seven Pant...
4 Spring-Ready Co-Ord Sets That Are Genuinely Worth Buying
The wonderful thing about coordinating sets is that you barely have to think about getting dressed in the morning. If your hair remains unbrushed and you have remnants of last night’s mascara dragged across your eyelids—do not fear. That matching set makes you look effortless. Plus, if you know how to shop for one that looks expensive, no one will notice anything else but the outfit. These are the four more sustainably minded co-ords that I think are worth the price, and yes, I’ve checked them out in real life. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

30 High-Street Bridesmaid Dresses I’d Genuinely Love to Wear
I’m one of those people who loves being a bridesmaid. Making wedding favours, writing invitations, painting cake toppers, tablescaping and even floral arranging—I’ve done it all, and get this—I actually enjoy it. While duties tend to vary for each wedding, one bridesmaid task I’m always bestowed with is finding the perfect, affordable bridesmaid dresses for myself and the rest of the group to wear on the big day. My job as a fashion editor means I have intrinsic knowledge of the dresses currently on offer, and as such, I can make quick work of finding styles I think the bride should consider. With most brides choosing to have more than one bridesmaid, investing in dresses for the entire group can prove costly. Even if you’re a bridesmaid and intend on purchasing your o...
There’s No Doubt About It—These Jewellery Gifts Will Never Fail to Impress
If you look inside your jewellery box, it will without a doubt be filled with pieces tied to memories, whether that’s a grandparent’s ring handed down through generations, a necklace your loved one bought you for your birthday, or even just jewellery you wear each and every day. The jewels you choose to complete your outfits become part of your signature look, and for this reason, they’re always going to be special. And when it comes to pieces that can be cherished for a lifetime, Thomas Sabo never fails. Each design is made from 925 sterling silver, and the attention to detail on each hand-finished piece is what makes them a cut above the rest. With Mother’s Day fast approaching, you can’t go wrong with a gorgeous new chain, a sparkly ring or a jewel-adorned bracelet to put a smile o...
9 New-In Totême Pieces Set to Reach Cult Status This Spring
The past few seasons from the brand have been so good, all featuring sellout cult hits with fans from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to Monikh, including the ubiquitous striped knit, classic trench and cosy scarf-jacket, to name a few. The brand refreshingly keeps its trans-seasonal heroes like these in rotation (further proving how classic they are), but we can’t help getting excited each time the brand launches a new collection and adds to its repertoire. This spring seems like it will be no exception, with fresh pieces starting to drop in the last couple of weeks that are getting us seriously excited for new-season dressing. There are nine items I’ve already bookmarked as having cult potential, including the new striped pieces, the perfect light&...
The Perfect Shirt Does Exist, and You’ll Find It at H&M for Under £20
Turns out I was looking too far afield, and the dream shirt was under my nose at H&M the whole time. When I noticed recently the brand’s oversized cotton shirt was one of our all-time best sellers on Who What Wear, I had to try for myself and see what all the fuss was about. Turns out 1149 (and counting) of you weren’t wrong, and this simple piece is just what I was searching for—just in time for spring. It comes in a variety of options: with pockets and without, shorter and longer lengths, and plus-size options, too. And there are so many colours to choose from. My favourites are the classic blue, white and pinstriped. I might even consider dipping my toe into the bold brights after reading this article. Either way, it’s likely there’ll be one that...

French Women Are After This One Style of Jeans Right Now
If there’s one thing we know to be true about French women and fashion, it’s that they love to keep an unfussy wardrobe. Key pieces they always have on standby include a perfect white shirt, a well-tailored black blazer and classic black heels. They also love their jeans. But we’re not talking about any old denim style. Our columnist Marissa Cox told us back in September last year that since she moved to Paris, she discovered that French girls love straight-leg jeans. And while we’re sure no Parisian woman is going to ditch those anytime soon, we’ve got new intel that says French girls are now loving another style. According to data from Lyst, the global fashion search platform, high-rise wide-leg jeans are the exact style French women—in particular, Pari...

Twenty twenty-one was undoubtedly the year of joyful dressing. After lockdown, we wore the hope in our hearts quite literally on our sleeves. Colour palettes were punchy, prints were standout, and a whole lot of fun was had assembling outfits. And you know what? It looks like the sartorial party is set to continue into 2022.
