I Just Tried On M&S’s Best-Selling Jeans, and I’m Officially a Convert
Okay, I admit it. When it comes to buying denim these days, I’m a bit of a snob. I spent my early 20s trying every high-street style I could find, going through God knows how many pairs of Topshop Jonis and Jamies. Once I hit my 30s, I gave up and started investing in fewer, more considered (read: expensive) pairs, hoping this was the solution to finding the holy grail of perfect jeans. I’ve definitely found a few really great go-tos, but like all of us, I’m still constantly on the lookout for a better pair. And while I presumed my high-street denim days were behind me, it was a recent Who What Wear team Slack discussion around everyone’s favourite jeans that had me reluctantly reconsidering. The verdict was that Marks and Spencer jeans are ...
From Midi Skirts to Blazers: 11 Elevated Basics We’ve Tried and Loved
“My mum threw away a lot of her best ’70s clothes, and it’s still a sensitive subject for me. However, she did hold on to a very swish grey leather blazer which I’ve loved wearing over the years. It’s incredibly neat and form-fitting, though, and doesn’t really fit me anymore (at least, not with anything bulkier than a silk shirt underneath). That silhouette feels like it’s loosened up a lot over the past few seasons, so I was interested to try out a new variation on a classic item: a leather blazer that’s a little boxier in shape and in an equally unusual colour. “There are lots of black leather jackets out there (this Arket one, is particularly, popular), but with spring incoming, I’m all about upping the joy through colour...
This Is The Super Effective Facial I Get Before Any Big Event
I’m not great with facials. Massages, yes, adore, cupping? Sign me up, but facials weren’t something I regularly book in for. Well, I never used to. And then I tried a Facegym workout. FaceGym is based on the concept of working out but for your face; sculpting and depuffing with a warm-up, vigorous exercise and a cool down. It’s not at all relaxing but effective, hell yes. It was after my first visit to FaceGym’s Selfridges branch that I realised what I didn’t like about a lot of other facials I have had, they tend to feel like nice massages, this one I could actually see and feel a difference. As an intro to the Facegym menu, I got their Signature Sculpt and it’s what got me hooked. I’m lucky enough to get to try a variety of treatments for my job and road test them before recommend...
I’m a Picky Shopper, But I Can’t Believe How Premium These Zara Buys Look
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that, as a shopping editor, I can be pretty damn picky when it comes to clothes. While it’s not a prerequisite of the job, there is something about having an overview of the many collections and brands, both high-street and designer, that are available at any given moment that really focuses the brain on finding only the best possible pieces. Case in point: Zara is known for its generous online offering, which, while great for choice, is not always so good for concise edits. That’s where I come in.

From Alexa Chung to Kate Middleton, Almost Every British It Girl Has This Jacket
What makes British fashion so special is its heritage; our past is a rich (incredibly chic) tapestry of skilled makers and designers, with brands born long ago proving to be just as popular today. And one of those brands is Barbour. Though founded in 1845, Barbour has been creating the timeless wax jackets and outwear for which it is known since 1910, and honestly, very little about the design has changed, which is a good thing. Of course, modern updates have been made, but at their heart, their aesthetic and, as such, appeal ring true. But what is it that makes the Barbour jacket—a jacket designed for fishing in, no less—so iconic? Perhaps it’s its illustrious fan base. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what ...

I’m a Cynical Beauty Editor, and I Thought I’d Hate These Skincare Products
But I figured the good cleanser and great reviews from peers were enough reasons for me to give the brand the benefit of the doubt, so I logged on to Zoom to have a conversation with the co-founders and cousins, Greg Gonzalez and Joe Cloyes. And I’ll admit I spent the next half an hour getting one hell of a reality check. Turns out Youth to the People isn’t just another natural skincare brand out of California. In fact, it’s not a natural skincare brand at all and is, instead, rooted in science and philanthropy. “Our grandmother started a professional skincare line in 1979. She was a true pioneer in the space and actually advocated for and helped write the first curriculum for an aesthetician license. Her whole passion and vision was built on the power of plants and science that was h...

13 Amazing Plus-Size Fashion Brands I’m Genuinely So Excited By
As a plus-size woman, feeling like a part of the fashion industry, the industry I work in, can sometimes be challenging. But I’m excited to say that, over the last year, I’ve seen some exciting moments of progress towards better size inclusivity. In this round-up of my current favourite places to shop, there are three newcomers—Olivia Rubin, Lucy & Yak and Ganni—all of which have evolved their brands over the last 12 months to include a wider range of sizes. Before we get going, I want to quickly say that I hope this is just the start to the size increases we need, as a few of the brands listed below only go up to a size 24. As a size 24 myself, I am lucky that this progress has been enough to include me, but brands need to be looking to expand their size ranges well past t...
