We Spent Hours Trying On the Best of the High Street— Here’s What We Loved
Scrolling continuously through the new-in sections of the digital high street has been useful in getting an idea of what’s out there. There’s often a lot more choice online these days, and a lot more diverse options, too. But nothing really compares to seeing pieces in real life, feeling the fabrics and trying them on ourselves before we give you our verdicts and recommendations. That’s why over the past couple of weeks all of the Who What Wear UK editors have been popping into the biggest high street destinations— from H&M to M&S, Mango to Arket— and reporting back on what we’ve found. There’s been some real hits, and a few pieces we’ve admittedly left the shops with for ourselves. So, with March arriving and spring very much on the horizon, we thought it ...
Prediction: Everyone Will Be Wearing 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.

There Are Many Slip Dresses in the World, But These Are the Best
Often cut on the bias angle of cloth to ensure a body-hugging fit, the slip dress’s signature traits include spaghetti straps, a midi length, slinky fabric and a subtle V-front neckline. However, as its popularity continues to grow, we’re seeing different iterations begin to take shape—think thicker straps, neckline variations and more structured silhouettes. What’s more, they’ve transformed from being an after-dark item to a daytime staple, too. When worn over T-shirts and paired with a chunky cardigan and kicks, a slip dress becomes more versatile than you may have initially thought.

We Spent Hours Trying On the Best of the High Street— Here’s Our Verdict
Our aim on Who What Wear UK throughout February was to cut through the noise of the busy high street and really focus in on the coolest, most exciting buys that are truly worth your money for the new season ahead. Because let’s face it, there’s a lot out there to choose from. Between the high street, designer second-hand and independent brands popping up, it can be difficult to pinpoint what to get from where, and which pieces will make a difference to your current collection. If the last month of analysing the new spring drops from the trusty British high street has taught us anything, though, it’s that it is still worth your consideration. Especially if you’re looking for trend led options to dip your toe into before investing more heavily in, or more affordable options of classic ...
Kaia Gerber’s Perfect Spring Dress Is From Every Influencer’s Favourite Brand
Kaia Gerber might be one of the world’s most in-demand models, but when she’s not on the runway, jetting between shows or shooting her latest campaign, Gerber’s going on chill lunch dates with Austin Butler in Los Angeles. For one such outing, she turned to the dress brand just about every fashion person I know loves: Dôen. An export from the U.S., Dôen used to be notoriously difficult for us Brits to get our hands on. Now, however, the brand ships to the UK (though we advise checking the shipping and duty costs before you purchase), while a curated edit of its wares is available to shop on Net-a-Porter, too. The latter is something our homegrown influencers have been making the most of since it launched on NAP a couple of years ago, but...
I’m So Into Hailey Bieber’s Latest Jeans-and-Blazer Outfit
Of course, this is no ordinary jeans-and-blazer look; Bieber gave it her Midas touch by choosing oversized iterations of each garment to create a cool, louche silhouette—one that feels intrinsically ’90s. The jeans and blazer both come from celebrity-favourite brand Khaite, which specialises in creating clothes that are low-key but always elevated. The throwback, however, didn’t stop there. Bieber used Nike Air Force kicks, a black leather belt and a gold herringbone chain to complete her look—all pieces that populated the best ’90s wardrobes. Her dedication can only be applauded. If, like me, you’re pretty taken with Hailey Bieber’s laid-back Paris Fashion Week look, I’ve done the hard work for you by breaking it down into bitesized pieces. Scroll on to see the items you’ll ne...
I’m a Shopping Expert—Here’s Everything on My March Wish List
You’re only human if you find these seasonal changes in wardrobe mindset a little tricky, though. Even I struggle remembering how to dress for warmer climes after months of hiding under chunky puffers, and I’ve been a stylist for almost 10 years. Like I said, you’ll probably own a lot of what you love wearing in spring already, and then it’s just a case of adding in a few fresh items to bring everything up to date and, let’s be honest, get you excited about wearing all your outfits again. There’s a lot of choice out there when it comes to new spring buys, though, and so I thought it might be helpful to put together a shopping guide of all the pieces I’m particularly loving this March to provide some inspiration for the season ahead. After all, as a Who What Wear editor...
The 7 Colours Everyone Will Be Wearing in 2022, According to Pantone
Spring is finally just around the corner, and sartorially speaking, there is plenty to look forward to. Today, we’ll be honing in on one of our favourite subjects, colours, and which hues are going to bring us the most excitement for the season ahead. While we already did our own report according to what we saw in the S/S 22 collections, this time, we looked to the colour experts at Pantone for even further insight. The Pantone Color Institute could be deemed as the colour-trend authority, so when it released its fashion week colour report, we had to share. A majority of the shades for 2022 are eye-catching and saturated, while there are a few understated options in the mix like Orchid Bloom and Humus. Below, find seven Pant...
4 Spring-Ready Co-Ord Sets That Are Genuinely Worth Buying
The wonderful thing about coordinating sets is that you barely have to think about getting dressed in the morning. If your hair remains unbrushed and you have remnants of last night’s mascara dragged across your eyelids—do not fear. That matching set makes you look effortless. Plus, if you know how to shop for one that looks expensive, no one will notice anything else but the outfit. These are the four more sustainably minded co-ords that I think are worth the price, and yes, I’ve checked them out in real life. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

30 High-Street Bridesmaid Dresses I’d Genuinely Love to Wear
I’m one of those people who loves being a bridesmaid. Making wedding favours, writing invitations, painting cake toppers, tablescaping and even floral arranging—I’ve done it all, and get this—I actually enjoy it. While duties tend to vary for each wedding, one bridesmaid task I’m always bestowed with is finding the perfect, affordable bridesmaid dresses for myself and the rest of the group to wear on the big day. My job as a fashion editor means I have intrinsic knowledge of the dresses currently on offer, and as such, I can make quick work of finding styles I think the bride should consider. With most brides choosing to have more than one bridesmaid, investing in dresses for the entire group can prove costly. Even if you’re a bridesmaid and intend on purchasing your o...
There’s No Doubt About It—These Jewellery Gifts Will Never Fail to Impress
If you look inside your jewellery box, it will without a doubt be filled with pieces tied to memories, whether that’s a grandparent’s ring handed down through generations, a necklace your loved one bought you for your birthday, or even just jewellery you wear each and every day. The jewels you choose to complete your outfits become part of your signature look, and for this reason, they’re always going to be special. And when it comes to pieces that can be cherished for a lifetime, Thomas Sabo never fails. Each design is made from 925 sterling silver, and the attention to detail on each hand-finished piece is what makes them a cut above the rest. With Mother’s Day fast approaching, you can’t go wrong with a gorgeous new chain, a sparkly ring or a jewel-adorned bracelet to put a smile o...
9 New-In Totême Pieces Set to Reach Cult Status This Spring
The past few seasons from the brand have been so good, all featuring sellout cult hits with fans from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to Monikh, including the ubiquitous striped knit, classic trench and cosy scarf-jacket, to name a few. The brand refreshingly keeps its trans-seasonal heroes like these in rotation (further proving how classic they are), but we can’t help getting excited each time the brand launches a new collection and adds to its repertoire. This spring seems like it will be no exception, with fresh pieces starting to drop in the last couple of weeks that are getting us seriously excited for new-season dressing. There are nine items I’ve already bookmarked as having cult potential, including the new striped pieces, the perfect light&...
