From Elizabeth Olsen showing sisterly support in The Row to Yara Shahidi’s on-trend kelly-green gown—there’s a lot you’ll love. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Victoria Beckham Just Wore the Coolest Jeans Outfit
Victoria Beckham isn’t showing on the London Fashion Week schedule this season, which means we won’t see the usual VB outings in and out of hotels and meetings in the lead up to her show. She might not have the LFW deadline this weekend, however she is still busy in the studio working on her final spring summer 2022 collection and last week she shared a picture of reviewing her looks. But it’s her outfit I’m most interested in, as she managed to make jeans and a sweatshirt look polished and so very ‘Posh.’ She wore her own namesake ‘Victoria’ jeans which are very high-waisted and have a flare and distressed detailing. She then tucked a grey sweatshirt into the waistband, and tied it together with a black leather belt. It’s the acce...
Uptown’s Finest: Dapper Dan To Receive Lifetime Achievement Award
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty One of the culture’s biggest influencers ever is about to get some overdue acclaim. Dapper Dan is set to receive the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award from the CFDA. As spotted on Hype Beast the Harlem, Manhattan native will be honored during the forthcoming 2021 CFDA Awards. This distinction is unique in many ways as Dap is first ever recipient to ever receive it without activating a runway show. He spoke about the announcement on his Instagram account. In true fashion he pointed to his Uptown roots for giving him the DNA. “Isn’t it ironic how the fashion world says that Dapper Dan won the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, without ever having a runway show?” he wrote. The streets of Harlem have been my...
The 5 Classic Coat Styles To Buy Now and Love Forever
Here in the UK we have become pretty adept at the art of good outwear. We spend roughly 80% of the year cocooned in coats, so it figures that they should become a key part of our year-round capsule. I like to consider myself a bit of a coat aficionado, and over the years have tried to identify the styles that are worth the investment in the long run. While there will always be a place in our wardrobes for those clean-lined classics (you can’t go wrong with a tailored coat in navy or black IMO), I have also found that ‘timeless’ doesn’t always have to mean minimalist. Sometimes a pop of colour or statement fabric can be a fun way to add interest to your cold weather basics. It’s just about keeping your mind open and considering wha...
Black Jeans Are Often Overlooked—These 9 Outfits Unlock Their Full Potential
When we talk about classic jeans, it’s often blue pairs that spring to mind, but I think black jeans are just as timeless—even if they don’t receive the same airtime as their vintage-wash counterparts. Personally speaking, I always feel more pulled-together and polished in black jeans, which, I’ll argue, also transition from day to night more seamlessly, owning to their darker base colour. Still, just like any other jeans, black jeans outfits can become repetitive if you let them. So, in an attempt to stop them from becoming stale and tired, I’ve gone on the hunt for black jeans outfits that are classic, chic, and won’t let you down, wherever you might be going. Handily, there were a plethora of stylish looks to choose from; my favourites of which I’ve showcased below. Whether yo...

Everyone Always Asks Me About My Dresses—These 42 Are Fantastic
If there’s one thing I know, it’s dresses. My wardrobe is full of them, and I wear them 99.9% of the time. I’ve always struggled with casual (long-time Who What Wear readers will have repeatedly read about my ongoing struggle with denim—sorry to be a bore!), so easy, good-looking frocks are my most trusted fashion staple. I have affordable ones that I wear each and every week. I have special, more expensive ones that come out for important occasions or big meetings. I have those in-between, mid-priced options that bridge the gap between casual days and fancy ones. I own styles that are ultra-summery and best for heatwaves and holiday packing, but I’ve also got a fair number of clever, trans-seasonal styles that can work layered up and with ...

London Designer Miss Sohee Is Reinventing Couture Fashion For a New Era
London-based fashion designer Sohee Park defines her womenswear brand Miss Sohee as “demi-couture”. After graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2020, her graduate collection was featured on the cover of LOVE magazine — and Park has since launched a successful fashion brand in the midst of the pandemic, while reinventing couture for a new generation. Sohee Park graduated in the same CSM class as emerging designers Harris Reed and Yasmina Atta. Her graduate collection “The Girl In Full Bloom” featured voluminous demi-couture gowns with glam ’60s and gilded Hollywood references. The first star to embrace Park’s designs was Miley Cyrus for a performance on The Graham Norton Show in October 2020. But Miss Sohee truly took off in 2021 after being worn by Ar...
I’ve Tested Hundreds Of Hair Tools, But These Are The Only Ones I’ve Kept
There is so much that I love about working in the beauty industry, but if I had to get to the core of what makes it brilliant I would say it’s testing all the new product innovations before they hit the shelves. As a beauty journalist with a special love of hair, I have been on factory visits to see how hair straighteners are made, sat in top secret meetings (with an NDA signed) to learn about new-to-market hair technology, and met with the brains behind the development of some the most-loved hair tools in the world. Over my years in the hair world, I have tested hundreds of hair tools, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. There are some that I’ve hated immediately, others that are great but haven’t worked for my hair ty...
7 Shoes Styles That Always Look Good With Jeans
Is there anything more classic than a humble pair of jeans? Personally, I’d say no. The timeless item finds a home in just about everyone’s wardrobe, in every corner of the globe, regardless of age or gender. Of course, when an item is as versatile as a pair of jeans, there are about a thousand different ways you can style them, dressing them up or down depending on the event or occasion. Today, however, we’re here to talk about the way you style jeans with shoes. I don’t know about you but when it comes to styling inspiration I always like to look to street style imagery and luckily in recent times showgoers have offered up a plethora of outfit ideas. Each season the fashion set takes to the streets in jeans of every shade and silhouette—be it indigo straight leg pairs or vintage wa...
15 Outfits That Are Going to Look So Good This Autumn
Autumn outfits can require quite a bit of planning. Coat or no coat? How many layers are too many layers? The below outfit ideas will see you through cooler days and right into the time when it turns really cold. Thankfully, online retailers are preempting our shopping whims and are already starting to slowly fill their new-in sections with knitwear and trench coats. So although it might seem slightly early (we’re still pretending we’re having an Indian summer), this is actually the perfect moment to take a pause and really think about what is missing from your autumn wardrobe before you start adding to it. The below outfits include several classics that you’d typically expect from an autumn capsule, including trench coats, leather jackets&nb...
