25 High Street Dresses You Can Actually Wear When It’s Cold
Figuring out which dresses fall into which of these categories is time-consuming, as our Editor in Chief Hannah Almassi proved recently in this handy TikTok. It requires a lot of trial, error and effort, which is 100% worth it if it means figuring out which of the summer dresses currently hanging in your closet can be worn right now. But when it comes to investing in new styles, well, that’s where we can be of service. We combed the high street to find the best dresses that look great with tights and base layers, to keep you toasty but still feeling like yourself this winter. Our tricks? Look out for knitted fabrics, don’t overlook the mini (you can always pair it with knee-high boots), shirt dresses and V-necks always work with roll necks; an...
7 Celebrity Outfit Ideas I Immediately Added to My 2022 Mood Board
Winter is the season in which I almost always end up in a fashion rut. I just can’t resist the sweatpants calling my name. However, in an effort to get back on my fashion game, I’m taking notes from WWW’s favorite celebrities this season. We’ve been reporting on everyone from Kate Middleton to Katie Holmes, but it’s duos like Hailey Bieber and Alexa Demie that have caught my attention.

From Demie’s cozy coat ensemble to Bieber’s gym groutfit, many of the looks below are unexpected but easy to re-create. If you’re also looking for some inspiration from certain A-listers...
10 Fashion Insiders On the Wardrobe Basics They Can’t Live Without
Question: How does your average item of clothing qualify for ‘wardrobe basic’ status? I mean, what really is a ‘basic’ anyway? Yes, these are the hard-hitting questions filling my mind at night. I would guess that, were it a fashion quiz, you would probably get full marks by answering ‘a white T-shirt’, ‘jeans’ or ‘a blazer’. And rightly so. But I would argue that, maybe, a basic is in the eye of the beholder. In simplest terms, all a basic really refers to is an item of clothing that you wear on a daily and weekly basis, and something that acts as a building block for a variety outfits. For one person that will be a white T-shirt, but for another it might be a pair of c...

We may not know everything about what 2022 will hold, but when it comes to what you’ll be wearing we’re pretty confident making some predictions. Yes we’re only one month into the year, but since our day jobs involve a lot of scrolling through the best outfits on social media, keeping check on the latest street style and analysing the new season’s catwalks, it puts us in a rather good position for spotting trends and soon-to-be-cult items early. So, while the uncertainty of the upcoming months may send some of us into an anxious spiral (me? Never), we’re here to bring some sartorial comfort and help guide you and your wardrobe through the start of the new year confidently. Beginning with reporting on the fourteen most-wanted items...
Too Far: Fat Joe Get Clowned For Yeezy Moonboot Fit, Memes Flourish
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: @donnellrawlings / Instagram Fat Joe took to Instagram to show off what he thought was a fire fit that featured him wearing those YEEZY NSTLD boots. However, Joe Crack didn’t get the sweeping praise he was surely looking for. Instead, the Bronx rapper opened the door to waves of slander over his audacity to act like those glorified moon boots from the YEEZY brand are flames. Yes, there are people who think so, but please reconsider that decision. Anyway, the fit itself wasn’t too bad; denim, a khaki jacket and a pink hoodie. “Waiting on the snow” was Joe’s caption for the pic he share on IG. But those YEEZY boots got all the attention for all the wrong reasons. Some trusty Timberlands these are not. Soon enough, the photo went viral, and the memes s...
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 ...
