6 Y2K Outfits We Want to Wear Right Now
If I think back to the year 2000, 10-year-old me would have been wearing skin-tight pedal pushers, a cropped T-shirts and butterfly hair clips. And my 16-year old sister would have already been trying out pleated mini skirts, tie-front tops and sporting a baguette bag at all times. It’s safe to say, Y2K fashion was a wild time where practically anything goes. And while millennials would most likely leave many of the fashion trends firmly in that decade, the Gen Z crowd have other ideas. We can all thank Tik Tok for the revival of low-slung jeans (sob), along with Paris Hilton’s most-loved look: velour tracksuits. While I won’t be trying either of these any time soon, there are some trends I feel like I missed out of seeing as I wasn’t an experimental ...
I’m Having a Wardrobe Refresh for 2022 and Keeping These Items
I know the whole ‘new year, new me’ thing is a cliché, but when it comes to my wardrobe I’ve been really feeling the urge to give it a good old cleanse lately. Since that feeling coincided with the start of a new year, I thought it was the perfect excuse to step back and take stock of what I really wear, and what pieces are just gathering dust. It may have something to do with the fact that I recently turned 30 and moved house, but it’s also become obvious (since working from home more regularly) that I don’t wear half my clothes anymore. So a tighter capsule edit of perfect pieces is going to clear some much needed storage space and make getting dressed in the mornings a lot easier. And I know I’m not alone in this— every friend I mentioned my new year intentions to, fashion gir...
6 Easy Hairstyles That Will Make Your Hair Look So Much Healthier
I’m always guilty of overdoing it with the hair styling at the end of the year with Christmas and New Year’s (and my birthday) by January my strands are a shred of their former self. So, at the beginning of the year, I’m always looking for easy hairstyles that don’t require too much manipulation as I try to stop using high heat and pulling and tugging my hair into harsh styles. The other reason for this is that I truly cannot be bothered, I want to relax and ease into the year. For January, the mission for my tired-out locks and tired-out brain is creating the simplest styles that still look cool as ever. I asked some top stylists their favourite easy styles and tips for overworked hair and I now have a catalogue of looks to pick from– here are my favourites. You Deserve to Make ...
Get Ready For Spring With These 13 Easy Outfits
Spring 2022’s fashion trends have been beckoning us since last September when the fashion week presentations were flooded with bold colour, dreamy dresses, and low key but luxurious separates. Though it may still be frosty outside, we can’t help but get excited about spring on the horizon and start planning our outfits for the upcoming season. We’re determined to find a way to start incorporating spring-ready looks into our wardrobes as early as possible— even if that means just adding a few bright colours to our outfits here and there. This year is still all about easy-to-wear dresses (particularly the knitted variety), but co-ords and skirts (mini or maxi) have also risen their way to the top of our shopping list. So if you’re looking for...
7 Wedding Guest Outfits We Love for 2022
After so many weddings and celebrations were delayed or altered over the last few years thanks to the pandemic, things are hopefully looking up for 2022. Normal wedding programming has resumed and we can finally get back to celebrating our friends and family in style— which is great news, especially if you’re one of the couples planning your big day. If you’re anything like most of us on the Who What Wear team, the delays have also meant our 2022 calendars are already looking pretty packed; thanks to the backlog of postponements as well as all the new engagements that have happened since. The fun times will, of course, be worth it, but the stress of planning so many different outfits for all the occasions is real. So we thought we’d help the best way we know how— by getting ahea...
30 Cheerful January Buys From H&M, & Other Stories and Arket
January is a notoriously tough month to get through for many reasons. After the recent festivities and busy party season it can feel a little deflating not having such a social schedule, nor the money left to capitalise on your free time. Not to mention the weather which in December feels frosty and festive, but in January just seems plain old grey and cold. It’s totally understandable to need a little pick-me-up, and nothing works better for it than a little retail therapy (we say this from experience). If you’re on a budget post-Christmas, that’s all the more excuse to turn to the affordable high street. You can scour the sales too (in which case do check out our round up of the best deals on offer here), but if you’re a little tired of seeing the same styles and more interested in...

When it comes to the world of beauty, 2021 will go down as the year that nails ruled supreme.

So whether you’re after something nicely natural or more adventurous, there’s a nail polish colour with your name on in 2022. Keep scrolling for all ...
7 Fresh Ways to Wear Your Knee-High Boots This Spring
I had never worn knee-high boots until last year. While I’m usually very open-minded when it comes to styling, I’d previously written them off, owning largely to my short height, assuming they wouldn’t suit my frame. How wrong I was. Now, in the midst of winter, I’ve worn my trusty knee-high boots almost every day—and I intend on doing so right through spring. As such, I set about to find fresh new ways to keep my knee-high boot outfits interesting. I didn’t have to look for long as so many fashion people have been wearing their own knee-high boots to chic avail, providing me with all the inspiration I need to do the same. Keep scrolling to see the sleekest knee-high boots outfit ideas I’ve seen recently, and then proceed to shop the pieces you need...
From Alexa to SJP, These Celebs Have Cracked the Winter Style Code
Winter can be a sartorial challenge, even for the most confident of dressers. The shift in temperatures proves to be the biggest hitch as, after months of giving little thought to whether your ensembles will be warm enough, this swiftly becomes your primary concern. And, let’s face it, it can be difficult to feel chic when you’re laden down in knitwear and wool. Difficult but certainly not impossible. Some of our favourite celebrities have taken winter in stride, flaunting their brilliant cold-weather looks on Instagram for all to see. Sporting gorgeous coats, the sleekest of boots, natty knitwear, cosy co-ords and luxe bags, these A-listers prove that looking slick and being appropriately dressed for the elements can go hand in hand. Amongst the most noteworthy attire is Emily...
The One Shoe Style All the Coolest Girls Will be Wearing This Year
In fact, many of our favourite fashion girls have been spotted in platform mary-jane heels already, from Camille Charriere to Susie Bubble and Lucy Williams (keep scrolling to see exactly how they’ve been styling them so far). And the shoe’s popularity shows no sign of waning, featuring heavily on the SS22 catwalks too. Given the style’s strong late nineties/early noughties aesthetic, it’s hardly surprising— Y2K fashion has officially exploded, and although spearheaded by Gen Z, we’re definitely starting to feel its influence across all generations now. The popularity of platform mary-janes may also have something to do with the meteoric rise of the (relatively) new footwear brand Nodaleto. We’ve previously reported just how much fashion girls love their chunky, c...
Editors & Influencers All Agree— This Is the Place to Buy Knitwear
If you’ve seen an influencer or fashion girl on your Instagram feed wearing cute knitwear recently, there’s a high chance it’s from American Vintage. The thing is, you might not have even noticed, because this understated brand isn’t about loud & shouty designs. There’s hardly any instantly recognisable prints or unique details— but that’s exactly what makes it so covetable. Instead it’s one of those ‘if you know, you know’ quiet luxury brands that produces classic investment pieces that stay in your wardrobe forever. Despite its name, American Vintage is actually a French brand— which may explain why it does capsule staples so well. The wider collection includes everything from wool coats to simple dresses and perfect T-shirts, but it’s the knits and loungewear t...
