Try as she might, no amount of Zara jumpers and Accessorize earrings could make Kate Middleton actually seem relatable—no offense, duchess. It’s just that a royal-sized budget, jewel-encrusted tiaras, and worldwide fame is a tad out of reach for the average person. That said, you certainly don’t need to spend big bucks to recreate many of the Duchess of Cambridge’s outfits, including her most recent one. Middleton was photographed with Prince William at an event for Church on the Street, a charity that aims to lift people out of poverty. For the occasion, she wore a Massimo Dutti coat, Iris & Ink jumper, and skirt, and Missoma earrings. Her camel coat, in particular, stood out because it’s such an expensive-looki...
From royals to celebrities, influencers to editors, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone (fashion fanatic or otherwise) who doesn’t have an item of clothing from Zara in their wardrobe. The Spanish retailer has developed a reputation for itself over the years for creating affordable, trend-led pieces and contemporary basics which can act as the cornerstone of any closet. Though, Zara’s mass-market appeal doesn’t just end at clothing. The brand’s footwear is equally as coveted, and this winter in particular, we’ve spotted quite a number of expensive-looking boots among its collection, many of which, we predict, will sell out in no time. (Sadly, these styles don’t often hang around for long.) You Deserve to Make Money ...
As we approach the end of January (where did that month go?), the sales may be a distant memory. You may believe the best bits are long gone, but this is where you’re mistaken. Sure, the most eager of shoppers will have had their baskets full of bargains weeks ago, but some of the best designer sales are still going, including Ralph Lauren. The iconic brand has been dressing the fashion elite since the ’60s, and there’s no doubt you know someone who owns a polo shirt, logo knitwear, a heritage check blazer or that instantly recognisable sportswear. The label has been going the distance for decades, so there’s true staying power in its pieces, and this is what sets this sale apart from the rest. Whether you’re shopping for last-minute winter warmers and wanting to swaddle up in a cosy knit ...
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, how great is H&M right now? The brand has always been one of the biggest high-street hitters, but over the past few seasons, it has surpassed even itself. What makes H&M stand out from other affordable fashion retailers is that it doesn’t merely follow the trends laid out on the runways—it starts them. It’s this constant ability to surprise and delight us that keeps us coming back to H&M in times where some sartorial inspiration is required. And that’s precisely what we find ourselves in need of at the moment as we enter the winter lull. With the novelty of layering starting to wear thin, but the ease of dressing and comfortable warmth of spring still a long way off, it’s easy to lose your way in terms of style. But H&M has the ...
Winter is often considered the most difficult season to dress for. In summer you can throw any old dress on and look put-together, but in winter there’s a lot more to think about: which layers work without looking too bulky, will this dress go with tights, and exactly how washed out does this grey coat make me look? Like many of us, I seem to always resort to a dependable combination of denim, boots and knits. But if you’re not a jeans or trousers person, figuring out what to wear each morning when it’s cold outside can be even more of a chore. If that sounds like you, don’t fret. I’m here to tell you you can still take advantage of the ever-flattering midi skirt in the depths of winter. Dresses are slightly more complicated— unless they’re made from a particularly thick ma...
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 (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 ones that I wear each and every week. I have special, more expensive ones that come out for important occasions or big meetings. I have those in-between, mid-priced options that bridge the gap between casual days and fancy ones. 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 ...
Some people can play piano beautifully or make a mean Victoria sponge, while others are amazing at any sport they put their hand to. But me? I can pick an expensive-looking fashion item from a line-up of high-street pieces. I know, with great power comes great responsibility, right? Ok, but seriously, it’s turned out to be quite a useful skill in my role as Shopping Editor, as I honestly believe that when you look carefully enough, there are plenty of time-tested gems to be found on the high-street.

The world of Instagram is a funny place – one minute we’re liking a picture of a puppy, the next we’re delving into someone’s living room interiors and in quick succession, we’re shopping. We have everything at our fingertips, and something we will always appreciate (as well as cute pets) is the ability to find outfit inspiration in a flash. Whether it’s how to dress like a French girl or the latest colour combinations to try out, there’s no shortage of ways to click refresh on your wardrobe. And let’s face it, during winter, this is more necessary than ever. So, what if we were to tell you an item you most likely already own is the key to winter dressing? Or if you don’t, then you can get it for the same price as a large glass of vino in a London bar? Well, the humble blac...
Knowing how prevalent they were on-site and, subsequently, how many others would have also seen them, I knew it would be a race against time to get them when they did land. I began checking in daily (okay, sometimes twice daily) to make sure I hadn’t missed them, when one morning, there they were! I clicked through excitedly, only to be left disappointed when I discovered my size had already sold out. Still, miracles do happen, and, thankfully, Mango has granted us all a second chance at getting our hands on (and feet into) its must-have Mary-Janes. I saw they came back in stock at the tail end of last week, snapped them up with next-day shipping, and low and behold, they’re even better in real life (even if my photographs make that hard to believe).

Listen, I know most of us have been in throw-on-and-go mode for the past few years, and that doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon. Although some might miss getting dolled up on the daily, I know there’s a select few of us who are actually living our best lives wearing little to no makeup every day—sue us. Doing a full face all the time can be exhausting, so it’s actually nice to know that there are brands out there who keep us minimalists top of mind. Dare I say, minimalist makeup might be full-on trending this year, and it’s a movement I’m happy to embrace. If you find yourself nodding in agreement and would like to keep it clean and simple these days, find all the best makeup brands any true minimalist needs in their arsenal...
Muaddi has been on the fashion scene for a while, but she only went solo with her shoe brand last year. Growing up in Italy was always an inspiration for Muaddi to want to design shoes, but she first sought out a career working at magazines—an invaluable network for any fledgeling designer. She attended the European Institute of Design and worked as a stylist at L’Uomo Vogue and GQ, ensuring she understood the world of fashion before completely fulfilling her dream. In pursuit of following in the legendary footsteps of footwear designers like Manolo Blahnik, Muaddi travelled to Italy’s famous shoe-making district, Riviera del Brenta, to learn the trade and co-founded her first brand, Oscar Tiye. Following that, Muaddi then moved to Paris, where she collaborated with French couturier Alexan...
Spotting a single trending buy can sometimes be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it’ll take weeks of running through Instagram with a fine-tooth comb to stumble across a noteworthy style. Other times, however, you need merely glance over your feed to see that a product is really popping off. Well, this has certainly been the case with a certain A/W 21 Totême jacket, and we’ve honestly lost count of the number of times we’ve seen it on social.
