Ralph Lauren x Morehouse & Spelman Collection Draws Cheers & Jeers
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nadine Ijewere / Polo Ralph Lauren On Tuesday, March 15, Ralph Lauren announced an upcoming capsule collection titled A Portrait of the American Dream, that blends the brand’s classic Americana stylings with the sartorial heritage of Atlanta-based HBCUs Morehouse College and Spelman College. The announcement was a true exercise of craft, featuring a combination of visually striking photos from Nadine Ijewere and an equally stunning video—both felt more like a time capsule than a lookbook. In the imagery, we see Black people of all pigments dressed to the nines in gear inspired by styles seen in Morehouse and Spelman yearbooks between 1920 and 1950. To call the campaign beautiful is an understatement. Here, we see a sartorial excellence in lockstep with th...
It’s Official—These Are the Best Flat Shoes to Wear With Midi Dresses
Hands up who owns a midi dress? The likelihood of everyone owning one is pretty high considering they are one of the most reliable (note: never boring) items around. In fact, they deserve a place in any capsule wardrobe as much as any trench coat, good quality white T-shirt and blazer does. Sure, there are tonnes of new spring dress trends out there, but when the midi works across all seasons, for any occasion and is universally flattering, it’s no surprise we choose this style again and again. While we’ve been pairing said dress with anything from knee-high Western boots and any form of ankle boot –from heeled to stomper –for the cooler months, it’s time to think about what to wear them with for spring. Enter: flat shoes. Be brave, ankles are about to be bared, and we are...
I’m Calling It: These Loafers Are the Most Stylish Shoes of 2022
Bridging the gap between scruffy winter boots and toe-baring summer sandals, the loafer is the sleek way to slip into spring. And when style queen Pernille Teisbaek wears the particular pair in question with leather trousers and a knit vest, naturally we’ll all want to re-create this perfect pairing. But for now, loafers with socks also get the seal of approval from fashion editors and influencers everywhere. This clever combo is also a way to wear them in, as we all know a new pair of slip-on shoes needs to soften up to be comfy. However you choose to wear loafers, we’re here to tempt you into trying out the loafer trend with Saint Laurent’s style, along with so many more from the likes of Ganni, Gucci, Tod’s and Prada.

The Airwrap Is Good, but These Volumising Hair Tools Give It a Run for Its Money
And with the Airwrap currently out of stock everywhere (might Dyson be up to something?), I have never had more people come to me for advice. In fact, ‘Is the Airwrap worth the money?’ is potentially my most-asked beauty question of 2022 so far. And my answer is always the same. Hype aside, if your hair doesn’t hold an in-salon blow-dry particularly well, the Airwrap isn’t for you. In fact, as a rule, I’d go as far to so that a blow-dry with an Airwrap holds for approximately half the time of a salon one (which, granted, uses strand-damaging levels of heat). Look, £450 is an eye-watering amount of money to spend on a hair tool. If you get regular blow-dries, then yes, the Airwrap is probably worth it. However, if like me you have hair that struggles to old volume, you’re far better off sav...
I Tried On the Best Spring Buys From Warehouse—Here’s What Wowed Me
In my opinion, if there’s a high street brand you should be exploring right now, it’s Warehouse. The British-born brand has developed a knack for creating a variety of pieces that are unique and still work for the everyday. Statement prints ate an integral part of the brand’s DNA and are some of the best I’ve seen on the high street. From statement swirls to trending checkerboard, there’s sure to be a print to suit your aesthetic. Don’t worry, however, if stand-out motifs aren’t your thing—Warehouse is also an excellent stop for elevated wardrobe essentials, so you get truly the best of both worlds. I’ve also been impressed by the quality of its clothing—I’m confident that I’ll be able to wear a lot of what I own from the bra...
5 Easy Ways To Pull Off Double Denim This Spring
Whenever I wear a double denim outfit there’s almost always someone who comments on how ‘brave’ I am for wearing such a bold look. Okay, so I understand the reservations some people might have around the ‘Canadian tuxedo’—most of which relate to a certain Justin and Britney look c.2001 or, alternatively, the memory of a questionable teenage outfit they’d rather forget—but I find that double denim is one of the coolest, and easiest, looks you can wear for spring.

I’ve Just Assembled 5 Expensive-Looking Spring Outfits Entirely From H&M
Although we’re usually big believers at Who What Wear in a diverse wardrobe that includes secondhand pieces, independent labels, designer investments and high street winners— there’s something time efficient about finding a whole new outfit all in one place, isn’t there? Plus, it’s guaranteed to look seamlessly pulled together since all the pieces have one brand’s aesthetic. It’s a bit of a hack that I wouldn’t encourage all the time, but it works for me when I need an easy, instant wardrobe boost I can count on. There are a few high street stalwarts I always rely on for this exercise, but H&M in particular never lets me down— especially when I’m on the hunt for really polished pieces at affordable prices. My taste is very classic— the older I get the more timeless I li...
7 Spring Trends Our Editors Are Skipping—and 7 They’re Wearing Instead
To say that we’re excited about spring would be a gargantuan understatement. With weddings back on the agenda (the sort that bears a striking resemblance to those held prior to 2020), holidays on the horizon, and the general enthusiasm that comes with brighter, warmer days, spring is all we can talk about right now. And with it, a large portion of our conversations centre around what we’ll be wearing this spring. Like anyone else, each of our editors has their own unique aesthetic, honed by the things which they, of course, like, but also defined by the things they don’t. What you choose not to wear says just as much about you as the things you do, and our editors are no exception to this rule. Curious to find out what they’ll actuall...
Honestly, These 9 Subtle Fragrances Make Me Smell So Rich
Don’t get me wrong. I love a heady, strong perfume more than anyone. Perfume is the perfect way to make a lasting impression. But here’s a totally counterintuitive notion: Subtle perfumes make the biggest impressions. I rotate perfumes pretty much every day, and I’ve found that when I wear a subtle, inconspicuous scent, people are always the most intrigued. I think it’s because subtle scents inherently have a bit more mystery to them. They’re not in your face, but they definitely still make a quiet statement. That’s what makes them so appealing. A subtle scent will leave someone thinking about how good you smell, and it won’t seem like you tried too hard to smell good. Below, I’ve rounded up my favourite subtle scents, which are guaranteed to get you at least one “you smell so good” commen...
Prediction: Everyone Will Want to Wear This Designer Bag in 2022
As far as we’re concerned, no designer handbag collection is complete without the addition of a Saint Laurent bag. We believe them to be just as classic as Chanel, Hermès, Celine and Dior, and we think they deserve just as much consideration if you’re fortunate enough to be contemplating a new designer-handbag purchase. Founded in 1961, the French fashion house designed pieces that tapped into the utilitarianism that many designers at the time embraced by way of tailoring and heavier fabrications. Although bags were never brand founder Yves Saint Laurent’s primary focus, he approached the category with the same utilitarian goal to create items of quality, practicality and longevity.

Every Incredible Look From the BAFTAs Red Carpet
This year, many of the stars opted for tulle and lots of it—cue host Rebel Wilson’s frothy layers. Lady Gaga also looked incredible as she took to the red carpet in a custom hourglass gown from Ralph Lauren.
