6 Outfit Ideas That Require Only 2 to 3 Pieces to Create
There is certainly a time and place for those more high-concept outfits featuring lots of layers and accouterments. On the flip side, pared-down ensembles featuring just a few pieces can also be appealing—especially if you’re looking to keep it easy. We’re going to focus on these outfits today. Yep, below, you’ll find a range of spring outfit ideas that require only two to three pieces (accessories and shoes aside). Remember, a simple outfit doesn’t correlate to “boring.” You can actually have quite the forward vibe even with just two to three items. And that’s what the ensembles coming your way will showcase. Keep scrolling for a range of inspiration, including outfits with jackets if it’s chillier where you live, along with other options. There are also product recom...
Meghan Markle Just Made Low-Rise Jeans Look Chic With This Classic Item
After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the Prince Harry-founded Invictus Games kicked off this weekend in the Netherlands, and of course, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were in attendance. And for one of the more casual events of the weekend, Markle went for the winning combination of jeans and flats (Chanel ballet flats, to be exact). And instead of her usual skinny jeans, this time Markle went for a more current denim trend: low-rise jeans. Yep, you heard right. Instead of a midriff-baring crop top, which is a popular pairing with low-rise jeans this season, Markle wore a white T-shirt and an item than added instant polish to the casual jeans: a black tweed jacket. Hers is by Celine (as is her bag), but it’s a classic piece that you can also find for far less money. Scro...
I Test-Drove the Latest Reformation Drop—10 Pieces I’d Buy Immediately
It’s my job to edit the best shopping items online, but even as someone who spends so much time studying all of the latest drops and coolest new trends that have arrived on the internet, nothing replaces trying things on in person. With so many great spring Reformation items landing on the market, I’ve been excited to test-drive some of them for myself. So I did just that so I can weigh in about which pieces are worth adding to your basket. I ordered a mix of dresses, skirts, matching sets, and easy layering staples, and while not everything I tried was exactly right for my wardrobe, the 10 pieces ahead are ones I would highly recommend. They tick all the boxes of what I look for in new buys: on-trend, a great fit, and versatility that will last into th...
I’m a Dress Person, and These Are the 8 New Dresses I Adore
If there’s one thing I know, it’s dresses. My wardrobe is full of them, and I wear them 99.9% of the time. I’ve always struggled with casual dressing (long-time Who What Wear readers will have repeatedly read about my ongoing struggle with denim—sorry to be a bore!), so easy, good-looking frocks are my most trusted fashion staple. I have affordable dresses that I wear each and every week. I have special, more expensive versions that come out for important occasions or big meetings. I have those in-between, mid-priced options that bridge the gap between casual and fancy days. I own styles that are ultra summery and best for heatwaves and holiday packing, but I’ve also got a fair number of clever, trans-seasonal styles that can work layered up and with tights in winte...
From Lip Flips to Baby Botox, This Is Your 101 Guide to Aesthetic Treatments
Profhilo is another treatment that you are likely to have stumbled across before on social media. “Profhilo is a glow-giving injectable moisturiser that hydrates the skin. It utilises a high concentration of 100% pure hyaluronic acid and is a completely natural injectable,” says Dr Demosthenous. It works to deliver hydrating, plumping moisture under the surface of the skin to boost radiance and plumpness, with results lasting up to 6 months. Again, in terms of pain, you can expect to feel a sting at the injection site, but the pain soon passes. However, it’s worth noting that Prohilo isn’t for everybody. “Although it is a natural and safe product, some patients should avoid it, especially if you have bleeding disorders or a severely compromised immune system. Also avoid if you are al...
I’m a Fashion Editor, and Here’s Everything I Have Saved in my Notes for Summer
Sounds obvious, but impulse buys are so easy to make. And after years of having items with tags left on in my wardrobe, I now make a conscious effort to think about what I need and will get the wear out of. This doesn’t mean I don’t buy into trends, I do, but I just buy the ones I know I’ll wear. It’s so important to remember we don’t have to wear all the new trends each and every season. As part of my effort to not shop for the sake of it, I keep a handy list in my notes with links to everything I’ve seen that I want at the time. And if I’m still thinking about it weeks, or months, later and I feel like I’ll wear it often, I’ll buy it. So, seeing as sharing is caring, here’s a look into my notes app on my iPhone with everything I love for summer. From Free People’s waistcoat an...

H&M’s Luxe Basics Are Popping Off Right Now—Here’s What I Tried
I’m going to be honest here—until a few months ago, I didn’t own many wardrobe basics. When I started going back into the office and getting dressed more often, I realized that I had fallen victim to the speedy trend cycle and was racing through different pieces that quickly caught my eye, instead of investing in pieces that would stay in my closet for the long haul. I thought minimalistic pieces would be boring, but in fact, those were the pieces I was missing to get the most out of my wardrobe. To my surprise, H&M has recently upgraded its basics and was my first go-to for finding elevated pieces on a budget. I only added a few new pieces to my closet, but those few pieces have helped me think of outfits I never would’ve thought of before. I’m ...
This Low-Maintenance Haircut Is Set to Be Huge in 2022
So what haircut should we book in for during out next salon visit? Well, most experts we have spoken to advise that 2022 could be time to embrace a hair change. However, unlike big hair trends of yesteryear (blunt bob, we’re looking at you), the It style for 2022 is set to be a whole lot easier to deal with. At a time when we’re all looking for a hairstyle that’s fuss-free, easy to manage, and versatile, it’s no surprise that the iconic ’70s shag is making a comeback. Revlon Professional global artistic ambassador Mark Leeson says, “The shag is the ultimate undone statement haircut. It’s choppy and full of texture and makes for a refreshing change to long, one-length hair. On a daily basis, you don’t need to do much to a well-cut shag style, as the texture and shape are alr...
5 Designer Shoes I Have on My Summer Wish List, and They’re all Under £400
I’m a shoe person. Granted, I also have a penchant for bags, sunglasses and necklaces, too, but when it comes to accessories, shoes are my kryptonite. I’m a sucker for new styles, I look forward to doing the seasonal switch, and for me, summer sandals are the most exciting part of my beloved collection. Although I’m more than willing to try out new trends, I do tend to stick to my favourites. So much so, I bought Arket’s toe sandals each year for three years from 2019-2021 after I wore them into the ground each season. While I rate the likes of Arket and & Other Stories for shoes on the high street, designer styles often win. And when it comes to picking which pairs to invest in, this is an area of my wardrobe I’m always to spend money on because a) quality wins over quality in this de...
Meghan Markle Just Wore Fashion’s Favourite Baggy-Pant Trend
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are back in action. After recently laying low, they’ve both traveled to the Netherlands for Prince Harry’s signature Invictus Games, a sporting event for injured and sick service members. The competition officially beings on Saturday, April 16, and runs through Friday, April 22. Today, the couple attended a pre-event reception at Zuiderpark in The Hague. Markle wore the trend that’s been taking over fashion lately: baggy wide-leg trousers. She wore Valentino pieces—a blazer, trousers, and a bag—along with Aquazzura shoes and Cartier jewelry. How chic does she look? Kate Middleton, Elle Fanning, and Kaia Gerber are among the celebrities also endorsing the baggy-trouser trend, and I’m here for it. Scroll dow...
