I Can Totally Skip Makeup Whenever I Use This Cult Anti-Ageing Serum
But on the off chance you didn’t, I’m here to confirm it. Seriously, this product is good. It’s marketed predominantly as an anti-ageing serum, which needless to say I’m not particularly in favour of. It doesn’t contain retinol and it isn’t going to get rid of any deep-set wrinkles. If you ask me, Double Serum is just healthy-looking skin in one very clever bottle (it contains two vials to keep oil soluble and water soluble ingredients separate for ultimate potency.) Championing anti-inflammatory turmeric along with a plethora of other plant ingredients (21 to be exact), Double Serum delivers the core things your skin needs to look healthy and radiant. It delivers lightweight but intense hydration to plump, turns skin supple and radiant thanks to skin barrier support, has an...
These H&M Pieces Looked So Good Online I Decided to Try Them in Person
I’m no stranger to a splurge, but I also like saving my money. Whenever I’m in the mood for fashion that’s on-trend and affordable and that won’t break down in one wash, H&M is like my home base. As a faithful shopper of the brand, I can also say that the quality has greatly improved over the years. Add to that its growing commitment to sustainable materials, and I really can’t find a reason why I’d shop elsewhere. It’s not uncommon for me to frequently shop the store mid-season but this time, I was able to take a few new arrivals for a test-drive as soon as they hit the site. And if you’re well versed in the language of H&M, you’ll know that all the brand’s best hits are only avail...
Trust Us—This Moisturiser Is Basically Like Having 8 Hours of Sleep
If there’s one thing that we could all be getting more of right now, it’s sleep. Sure, we all know the importance of clocking in those precious eight hours of rest each night for our overall health and wellbeing, but in practice, arriving at the land of nod isn’t always so easy. Between busy work schedules, the resurgence of socialising and balancing temporary home offices with partners, kids and needy pets, many of us are feeling too frazzled to wind down at the end of the day. And failure to switch off and rest means that our skin can be left paying the price. In fact, when talking to skin experts this year, one of the most recurring themes we’ve heard has been the increase in adults seeking help for skin sensitivity, acne and inflammation, all as a result of feel...
Everyone I Know Buys Their Vintage Jewellery From These 5 Places
I can only speak for myself, but up until about five years ago, I didn’t wear vintage jewellery. It used to be the kind of thing I’d only buy in a panicked fashion when I needed a bejewelled headband for a ’30s-inspired murder-mystery costume. Ideally, it had to be inexpensive, as it was a one-off, and I’d never wear it again. Thanks to plenty of trends coming back around (from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s), as well as people being more mindful about shopping sustainably (myself included), the vintage jewellery market is booming. And plenty of fashion editors I know are shopping at various places for key pieces. One major destination for the fashion crowd is Susan Caplan. The eponymous brand was launched in 2008, and it now boasts one of the biggest vintage jewellery collections in the UK...
This Simple Dress Trend Is Going to be Huge This Party Season
Typically, when I see that Alexa Chung has posted another outfit pic on Instagram, my reaction looks something like the army-pants-and-flip-flops girl’s scene in Mean Girls. So yes, I saw Alexa Chung wearing a lace slip dress to a party, and now I want to wear a lace slip dress to a party. The dress in question wasn’t labeled, but knowing Chung’s penchant for vintage pieces, I assumed that it was a secondhand find. The same can be said of the stunning mint green number spotted on influencer and vintage seller Pernille Rosenkilde. I sense a trend emerging.

Experts Say These Will be the Biggest Bridal Trends in 2022
You might think that looking ahead to next year’s wedding-dress trends is crazy, but let me assure you: it isn’t. You see, while we tend to divide the year into two “normal” fashion seasons and predict what’s coming six months ahead, wedding dresses are more complicated. Why? Since weddings tend to happen months or years after a couple’s engagement, planning ahead is key. And while you definitely don’t have to follow trends on your big day, the upcoming trends might give you some inspiration. The pandemic has changed bridal trends in ways we couldn’t have foreseen. Plenty of brides have opted for more pared-back looks to match more low-key weddings. Suits and simple shift dresses have been spotted on plenty of brides. On the flip si...
Skin Experts Swear By the Anti-Ageing Ingredient In These 15 Eye Creams
It’s not nice to have favourites, but there’s no denying that when it comes to high-performing ingredients dermatologists and skin experts clearly have a class pet: retinol. The anti-ageing skincare hero of the moment, facialists and aestheticians consistent recommend that once we hit 30 we should all be adding a retinol to our routine for its skin-smoothing, texture-refining benefits. And while Heck, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s facialist is so obsessed with the ingredient that she created her own cult retinol serum: It’s that good. However, due to its potent nature, most retinol serums, lotions and moisturisers come with strict instructions to avoid applying around your eye area. So, are our eyes destined to ...
These H&M Boots Look Expensive, and That’s Why Editors Want Them
I have to be honest: I’m a bit of a snob about high-street shoes because I worry about quality and fit. But every now and then, a pair comes along and alters my fussy viewpoint. Trust me—My wardrobe is not stacked high with Manolos and Guccis. I do have styles in my collection from Marks and Spencer that look very premium (and editor Emma Spedding swears by these ballet pumps), Uterqüe is a real winner for real leather, and every now and then, H&M comes through with the goods.

This Sell-Out Designer Bag Has Just Been Upgraded (and Restocked) for Autumn
Woody is a little different from its iconic siblings. Firstly, the bag’s not made from leather, real or faux. Instead, the original Woody’s body was constructed using a heavy-duty, durable canvas, trimmed with flashes of rust- or black-coloured leather, which flank the logo-emblazoned cotton canvas ribbon handles. As it’s a thing of beauty, we predicted at the start of 2021 that Woody would be a sell-out as soon as it debuted. Why? Because the shoe iteration was, and remains, a best seller for the brand. Also affectionately named Woody, the flat rubber-and-cotton canvas slip-on sandals were a huge hit this past summer and have recently seen a restock at Net-a-Porter. Naturally, after its success, the designer shopping behemoth also invested in the Woody Tot...
Asking for a Friend: Is It Too Soon to Buy a Puffer Coat?
Puffer coats have long been considered practical, but stylish? Thanks to a host of designer interpretations of the cosy, borderline-ugly outerwear, they’ve become something of a fashion girl must-have. Arguably it was last year when the puffer coat’s sartorial status really reached its peak, with the likes of Bottega Veneta creating a very special leather puffer coat, which swiftly made its way to the top of many an editor and influencer’s wish list. But then in 2021, we started off the year (yet again) spending a lot more time outside, and the duvet coat became a non negotiable essential for many of us, and not just those with budgets for the designer versions. Back in February, according to global fashion search platform Lyst, searche...
COS’s Sell-Out Midi Dress Is Back in a Very Stylish New Colourway
As an editor at Who What Wear I spend hours upon hours looking at new-in sections, and so over the years have developed a knack for spotting products that will sell out or have huge appeal with our readers. A few months ago there was one dress in particular which I had a feeling was destined for cult status—a ruched midi dress from COS. It came in two colourways and featured a simple 90s-style midi silhouette, however the ruched detailing on the waist and fuller skirt made it a little more relaxed. Well, I hate to brag, but the style was out of stock within a month—I even bought the black iteration myself. We thought you might like to know that the dress is back in a very AW21 shade of cobalt blue. And yes, the entire team is in love. Scroll down to shop the dress and s...
The Naked Dress Trend Is Now So Naked That It’s Barely There at All
The naked-dress trend is back, people, and it’s more naked than ever. While this look doesn’t ever seem to fade away, it’s definitely packing quite the punch for 2021. We’ve seen various iterations of the trend over the years, but right now, it seems to fit in one of two different camps: a skin-colour body-con dress or a barely-there dress that’s transparent or sheer or has a strategically placed piece of material (or even a combination of all three).
