7 Easy and Simple Makeup Looks I’m Copying Right Now
Make-up needn’t be complicated, and sometimes, it’s the simple makeup looks that work the hardest. Streamlining your make-up look not only saves time as you’re rushing out of the door, but as a result, it can also look more refined and understated. It’s the equivalent of removing an accessory when your outfit is looking a little OTT, right? Having badgered make-up artists backstage at a number of fashion weeks and photoshoots, one thing I’ve always noticed is that they’ll often highlight one feature on the face, with everything else pared-back. It might be immaculately groomed eyebrows, a French-girl red lip with minimal eye-makeup, or perfectly glowing skin that takes centre-stage (ie, some no makeup-makeup trickery at work). These are the principles that keep...
You Won’t Believe These 30 Hard-Working Spring Dresses Are All Under £100
The best thing about dresses, though, might just be that you can bag yourself a really great one without having to dig too deep into your purse. Across the high street, second-hand and independent brands, you can find so many beautiful styles for under £100. Which couldn’t be better for this time of year when your wardrobe (and your mindset) may feel like it needs a refresh after a long winter, but you’re still trying to stick to a budget at the beginning of the season.

We’re Beauty Experts, and We Adore This Perfect-Finish, Skin-Loving Foundation
“This foundation reminded me why liquid foundations are so great. I was blown away by how great my makeup looked after a full day. Oh, and my pigmentation totally disappeared under the full coverage. I didn’t even have to put more concealer on than usual. I got the matte finish that I try to go for, too. “Most of all, I was impressed with the staying power. I was really blown away by how it lasted. I was out in the sun for the whole day, and it stayed on so well. I didn’t reapply at all. I applied it at 8 a.m., and when I took it off 12 hours later, it still looked exactly as it did in the morning, which is totally unheard of. I also like that the shade range is super extensive! “It really is the definition of your skin but better. It still looks like my skin, just much more even. It’s als...
9 Summer Microtrends That Are Going to Last—I Promise
There are some microtrends that have are so clickbait-y, so purposefully created for the internet and social media feeds, that they die out before they’ve even had much of a chance to reach a wider audience. It’s probably for the best, as many of Instagram or TikTok’s most “liked” items can be hugely unrealistic for day-to-day wear. These contributing factors explain why the term microtrend has become a dirty one among fashion lovers who like to consume more consciously, and so we use it carefully. The way we think of microtrends is more about the subtler pieces, prints, colours, outfit combinations and accessories that are on the rise, destined for fashion fame but with the chance to actually work both IRL and for the long run. This is all...
It Can Take Time to Find the Perfect Trench Coat—We’ve Just Found 31
The best trench coat is a lifelong keeper. It’s the kind of trusty wardrobe staple you know is ready and waiting whenever you need it, but it doesn’t vie for your attention at all times (or get upset when you shove it to the back of the rail for a few months). It took me a long time to find my holy grail of outerwear. My perfect trench coat arrived early in 2015 when Finery launched, and I scooped up the double-face crêpe trench the brand continues to riff on today. I still dig it out every spring, and it’s already made a 2022 appearance or two. It’s made of a weighty fabric in a flattering fit with a slight ‘70s vibe and an overall finish that looks way beyond its high-street price tag. You Deserve to Make Money Ev...

Sienna Miller Just Wore the Sandal Trend That’s All Over ASOS and Zara
I am struggling to think of an occasion when I didn’t appreciate (and directly want to copy) an outfit of Sienna Miller’s. Her success rate for influencing myself, or any member of the Who What Wear team, must sit around the 99.9 per cent mark. From casual get-ups that feel effortlessly thrown on to bohemian eveningwear options, her ensembles never feel contrived. Miller’s choices can echo trends but are never slavish to them, and her latest look is yet another masterclass in how to cherry pick the latest items and looks that work for your personal style. Arriving for an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Sienna stepped out onto the streets of NYC in a stunning white, ruched dress that could have easily felt bridal, but with her clever make-under techniques s...
25 High-Street Trench Coats to Make You Look Rich and Unbothered
Turn up to any fashion event in April, and I can guarantee you at least 50% of us will be wearing a trench, so you know it comes well and truly fashion expert approved. It helps that they work thrown over dresses, jeans, skirts, tailoring and just about any outfit you can think of. Dressed up or down, for a wedding or weekend, they always make you look polished. And the best part? You don’t need to spend thousands on a designer style to get that look. Yes, a Burberry or Totême style is a fantastic investment—one you’ll likely wear forever, so the cost per wear makes it worth it. But with so many amazing classic (and trend-led) versions on the high street these days, you can easily spend a lot less on a seriously impressive style. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you...

As we look ahead to spring/summer 2022, it can help us relish in our wardrobes again, rediscovering what we already have and what might be good to invest in.

Skin Tints Are Trending Right Now—These 13 Are the Best
It’s official: 2022 is the year that skin reigns supreme. With the warmer months on the horizon, we’ve ready to ditch our full-coverage foundations and show off our skin in all its natural glory. Of course, that doesn’t mean we’re waving goodbye to makeup entirely. This summer is all about embracing colour. From pastel eye shadows to bright lipsticks, expect to see people taking to the streets in a riot of kaleidoscopic pigment. But as for our complexions? There’s a new product in town encouraging us to embrace a more pared-back approach to coverage: skin tints. And I’m into them. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

I Snuck In to H&M on My Lunch Break—These 16 Trendy Pieces Came Home With Me
I shop online a lot. It’s part of the job as Who What Wear U.S.’s fashion market editor. Every day, I scour the internet to unearth the best new-season fashion finds that are trendy, cool and worthy of your money. While most of my days are spent finding shopping picks on the computer, personally, I still love going into a physical store to browse, feel and try on clothes firsthand. Luckily for me, I live just five minutes away from many of the big brands and retailers, so this week—with a burning desire to stock up on some fresh spring finds—I decided to sneak into H&M on my lunch break and see what trendy new-season pieces were calling my name. I was specifically searching for items that look luxe and feel on-trend this season. ...
10 Under-the-Radar Dress Brands Our Editors Wish They Could Keep a Secret
Unearthing lesser-known dress brands is something we relish in the challenge of. Of course, that doesn’t mean we completely turn our backs on the labels we already love and have served us well in the past—think Rixo, Self-Portrait, Reformation, and Ghost, to name a few. But when it comes to dress shopping, it often pays to think outside the box, broaden your horizons, and find something that you’re less likely to see everyone else wearing—be it at weddings or on the beach.
