The Print Trends We’re Going to See Everywhere This Winter
Photo: Jil Sander; Christopher John Rogers; Vaquera No shade to our beloved neutrals, but prints are all we can think about lately. Sometimes, you simply want to blend in and keep it subtle, but it’s okay to be the centre of attention once in a while. The preferred way among insiders to stand out right now? Grabbing one of the striking prints that have been flittering through the fashion spheres this season. Much to our surprise, this season’s runways didn’t include the typical lineup of prints we’re used to seeing. Instead, it was a grab bag of patterns and graphics, from the extreme—see fanciful logos and zebra—to more subdued takes. All in all, everything felt amped up in a way that is fresh and exciting to the eyes. There&...
19 Hairstyles That Prove Gen Z Are Right About the Excellence of the Middle Part
As a millennial beauty editor, I am often left a little confused (and sometimes infuriated) by some of the things I see on TikTok. Typically, messages that promote using lube as primer or using a banana to apply winged liner aren’t the sorts of things that fill beauty editors with confidence. However, when Gen Z took to TikTok earlier this year to brand side partings as “cheugy,” I wasn’t totally aghast. Personally, I think that flipping your hair over to the side is one of the simplest and most effective ways to elevate and volumise any look. However, I do have to agree that the middle part is a superior way to style your hair. As someone who spent most of her adolescent life straightening her side-parted fringe and spraying can after can of Batist...
5 Affordable Outfits Made of Classic Pieces We Already Own
Readers of Who What Wear will be familiar with our We Try Before You Buy franchise, where the team tries on new items to help you decide what is really worth investing in. This involves trying samples and borrowing things from brands for the day, however this story is a little different this time. Instead of trying anything new or borrowed, we are all wearing pieces we actually own and many are items that we’ve loved for years and years. The word ‘affordable’ is often overused by fashion editors, but is a tricky and complicated term as what is considered affordable can vary hugely. This is something we are all too aware of. Below our editors have shared the one outfit that has proved to be amazing value for them, whether that’s because it’s comprised of charity shop finds, it’s an item tha...
Ariana Grande Went Pantless in the Most Popular Heels of 2021
Ariana Grande’s shocking ability to mimic music’s greatest talents—including Céline Dion and Whitney Houston—isn’t the only thing that the “Positions” singer has impressed us with lately. Her outfits, too, have been particularly awe-inspiring since she signed on to be a judge for The Voice a few months back. Grande’s latest getup for the NBC series, though, might just be her best yet—and that’s saying something after she wore the OG Versace minidress from 13 Going on 30 back in November. On Wednesday, Grande posted a slideshow on Instagram that displayed her look from Tuesday night’s episode. For the reveal of this season’s semifinalists, the newest coach on the show (wit...
6 Ways to Spot a Fashion Classic, From a Net-a-Porter Buyer
If you’re an avid fashion fan, you might recognise Page from the street style roundups of London, Milan, Paris and New York—usually snapped with a fellow NET-A-PORTER buyer, phone in hand, en route to her next show. When it comes to talking about fashion classics, you won’t find a greater authority than Page, who has honed her personal style down to a well-curated edit of pieces from cult brands such as Totême, Saint Laurent and The Row. After all, when you spend your time shaping the stock of a luxury e-commerce giant, you probably get a pretty good sense of what is, and what is not, worth our time and attention. But as we all know, deciding what fashion items to inve...
11 Outfits That Are Perfect for Going Out in This Winter
There are a lot of things to enjoy about getting dressed for winter. After all, is there anything quite as satisfying as slipping on a new cashmere jumper or pulling on your favourite pair of boots after an eight-month break? Still, that doesn’t mean dressing for the season doesn’t come without its challenges—especially where going out is concerned. With diaries filled with everything from dinners with friends and trips to the theatre to low-key work drinks and maybe even some nights that call for serious glamour, assembling outfits to go out in for the colder months is nothing short of an art form. You need to consider your layering strategically, give some thought to your materials, and still work out a way to look cute in doing so. This might sound daunting, but there is a way to a...
These 16 Zara Perfumes Are So Good I Wish I Could Keep Them a Secret
It is worth remembering, of course, that this collection was created by the perfumer who brought the iconic Lime, Basil & Mandarin and Earl Grey & Cucumber scents by Jo Malone London into the world, so it’s really only to be expected that the scents are as good as they are. But now, there’s a new collection on the block. The Zara Olfactive collection comprises of eight perfumes, each inspired by a different city, and they are equally as exquisite as the Emotions fragrances. Housed in beautiful boxes that you’ll want to keep out on display, the perfumes are stunning blends that smell almost impossibly expensive. In fact, a couple of the perfumes in the new Zara Olfactive collection just might knock some of my existing Emotions fragranc...

I’ve Found 22 Unique Gifts From the Coolest Independent Brands
Over the past few years, all retailers have faced a huge strain and pressure due to the pandemic, and small brands have certainly felt the brunt of the restrictions, with endless challenges with manufacturing and delivery. However, the silver lining has been the outpouring of support for these small but mighty brands. Ever since the first lockdown back in March 2020, there has been a huge push across all sectors for consumers to buy local and buy small and use our spending power to support independent, small businesses. This doesn’t just apply to where we buy our bananas and our morning coffee but is something many of us will be considering when embarking on our Christmas shopping this year. Cathleen Nicol, founder of handbag brand C.Nicol, said last year to Who ...
4 Fabulous Party Trends Sienna Miller Has Just Worn
Worst dressed lists and huge scrutiny has meant that sometimes celebrities—and their stylists— play it safe when it comes to red carpet choices. Alessandro Michele, the creative director of Gucci, has been one of the industry players changing that since 2015 when he was appointed as the head of the Italian house. With his maximalist aesthetic he has encouraged the Gucci VIPs to play with texture, colours and eccentric styling, and it’s provided lots of fabulous party outfit ideas you can replicate with or without a Gucci budget. Sienna Miller is one of his loyal celebrity fans, and recently she has been wearing lots of amazing and adventurous red carpet looks. We’re talking about a sequin blazer with nothing but logo tights, a pink trouser suit adorned with feathers and a m...
