One thing that’s key to note when styling with a diffuser, is that I found that part air-drying to about 50% (so damp to touch) and then using a diffuser has given me the best results for twist-out and braid-out styles. If you are applying product to clump curls or have used the ‘denman brush method’ to define, make sure your curls are damp but not dripping when you reach for your diffuser for the best outcome. To avoid frizz and heat damage, no matter which diffuser you pick, make sure you stick to the lowest heat and power settings. Yes, it will take a little longer to dry but the outcome will be shinier and healthier in the long run. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Midi hemlines have dominated the skirt scene for years, but times are a-changing. Last year, as the world started to open up again, we saw a meteoric rise—no pun intended—in mini hemlines, as fashion devotees reclaimed glamour and reintroduced impracticality into their wardrobes. But what does the future hold for skirts this year? Well, if the spring/summer 2022 catwalks are anything to go by (spoiler: they are), then maxi hemlines are set to be all the rage. It’s been a while since maxi skirts were on the style agenda, but as Who What Wear UK‘s Editor in Chief Hannah Almassi noted in our bumper trend report, “key brands such as Louis Vuitton and Givenchy [are] backing the cut. There is a Y2K lilt to these hemlines descending, with simple tube styles that fit cl...
I know from my own experience that planning a wedding can take months. You spend endless hours deciding what your guests are going to eat, what booze they’re going to drink and even which napkins they’ll wipe their mouths on. While this is all important stuff, it doesn’t really compare to deciding on which outfit you’re going to wear. Of course, the last couple of years had different plans for those who had their weddings coming up, and plenty of nuptials had to be cancelled as a result of the pandemic. But there’s one silver lining I hope I can provide for you. If you’re planning on getting married at some point, then you have more time to decide what you’re going to wear. And if budgets are smaller tha...
Here in the UK we might be in coats and boots, but Los Angeles-based Kendall Jenner is able to start wearing her spring wardrobe in the dead of winter. That said, Jenner isn’t the type to bust out the pastels and floral prints. She instead this week went with a black-and-white look that’ll be perfect for the impending weather warm-up in March and April (fingers crossed). Jenner’s outfit is really quite simple, and it includes an affordable basic that we here at Who What Wear talk about every single year: a white ribbed tank top. In this case, she displayed the perfect way to wear it: with black jeans and an oversized black button-down shirt. It’s the ideal springtime layering piece and it’ll be great on its own during the summer when the word “...
When a fashion brand sees a spike in popularity (or, let’s be honest, goes big on its paid advertising), it’s usually quite obvious. It typically starts out on the feeds of industry heavy-hitters before trickling down the sartorial food chain, and before you know it, you can’t scroll through Instagram without seeing a *insert buzzy It-brand* buy. But, every now and then, a name comes along that manages to work its way into the wardrobes of the fashion elite without a song and dance. This season, it was all about Raey.

During my years working as a beauty editor it has become increasingly apparent that there’s one skincare product that people are obsessed with above all others—moisturiser. There’s no doubt that questions about which moisturisers are genuinely worth the money are some of my most frequently asked, and it’s really no surprise when there are so many on the market. However, skincare is deeply personal, and why most of us are becoming increasingly clued-up on our skin types there’s another major factor at play when it comes to sourcing a moisturiser that will work for you—your age. Before we get into it, let me be clear: I have no time for wild anti-ageing claims or products that promise to deliver line-free skin. Nothing is going to turn back the clock or eliminate wrinkles...
I don’t know about you, but post-lockdown, I simply cannot deal with being in uncomfortable clothes. Now, I know drawstring and elasticated-waist trousers can be divisive—I have friends who love them, and others won’t go near them—but in an on-trend faux-leather fabric, I think they look pretty chic. And you know what I’m going to say—they’re just as comfortable as joggers, too. I’ve had a pair in my wardrobe for a couple of years now, and they’ve become a piece I come back to time and time again—I really am so pleased I purchased them. While my original pair is no longer in stock, there are plenty of similar styles to choose from at the moment. My pick? The below option from Mango. Though, I have seen some equally impressive options from M&S and River Is...
For my birthday last year, instead of shopping for a new dress, I decided to dig deep into the archives of my own wardrobe. If you haven’t done this recently, I highly recommend as I found hidden gems that deserve to be taken notice of. One being the H&M knitted midi dress I first wore six years ago at London Fashion Week. I remember styling it with a pair of striped mules and gold hoops, and if it isn’t broke why fix it? So I wore this exact same outfit for my birthday dinner, and I love it as much now as I did back then. I’ve also realised I now own five knitted dresses, all of which I wear on heavy rotation across all seasons. So versatile, there’s something about the timeless knit fabric that makes any dress style–from long sleeved to racer back and cut-out–effortlessly ...
Here at Who What Wear UK, we’ve dedicated huge amounts of time to digging out the best cuts, colours, styles and products—from hair-thickening shampoos to volume-boosting powders—to enable thin hair types to get thicker-looking strands fast. However, while I often get lots of questions about quick fixes to fake bigger hair, I’m here for those of you who already have naturally thick locks too. After all, people with plentiful strands have their own set of hair challenges—styling it can take a long time, tangles are par for the course, and finding a genuinely low-maintenance cut can be tricky. As someone with thicker hair myself, I always have a folder full of hair inspiration ready to go for my next cut at the...
It’s easy to get caught up in the world of social media, but looking through a filtered lens doesn’t give you the most accurate depiction of what’s happening around you. I find this to be acutely true when it comes to fashion—temperatures can be in the minus and the rain thundering down, but the outfits you see on Instagram or TikTok would have you believe it’s a pleasant 15ºC and sunny outside as content creators take to their feeds sans coats and umbrellas. Sure, this sort of escapism can be enjoyable and good for my Saved folders of outfits to bookmark for the future, but I always like to pull my focus back to what people are really wearing to inform my current choices. So when the Who What Wear team asked me if I’d take to the streets of Edinburgh, the place I now c...
Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to the maxi-skirt trend. In fact, just a couple of weeks ago, we pointed out that she swapped the more common midi skirt out for a long one while out shopping with her daughter. And this week, for a night out with Ben Affleck, she did it again. But this time, her maxi-skirt outfit was a little—shall we say—sultrier? Lopez went with a long tartan check skirt, and to make it date night–appropriate, she wore it with a bra top (which appears to be a sheer bodysuit), an oversize black blazer, and high-heel ankle boots. Since the skirt is quite covered up, it makes sense that she would want to expose a little skin (in true J.Lo fashion) with the glimpse of the bra top beneath her blazer. All in all, this seems like a fresh way to w...
For a while now, we’ve been witness to Spanish heritage brand Loewe’s growing influence in the fashion world. Since Brit Jonathan Anderson’s appointment as creative director in 2013, the whole line has become more and more covetable but especially the bags (oh, the bags!). He’s been credited for the revival of this luxury brand, which was originally founded in 1846 (yes, you read that right) and has been favoured by the likes of Sophia Loren and Marlene Dietrich over the years. Iconic, right? But it’s Anderson’s modern twists on classics that we’ve come to love. After all, his raffia logo totes are basically responsible for the basket-bag phenomenon that has been all over Instagram the past few summers.
