We Just Tried on These 8 Autumn Outfits and Fell in Love
Changing rooms still feel like a real novelty after months of online-only shopping, so to celebrate the arrival of autumn collections, our editors headed into stores to be able to give you our honest reviews. This month, we’ve been to the high street, tried new-in handbags and tested buzzy collaborations—and this time we’ve assembled eight autumn outfits from pieces we admired the most from the A/W 21 collections. Our team has tried so many cult items, from Bottega boots to Christopher Kane’s statement tees, and have each tried different aesthetics for autumn. You’ll find something grunge, something ’70s and something with a back-to-school spirit. So whatever styling camp you’re in this autumn, we think you’ll find an outfit idea or two to try. We visited the...
These Are the Designer Items That Are Best to Buy Second-Hand
Whether you’re an avid observer of street style or simply like to scroll through Instagram for all your outfit inspiration, there’s no doubting the fact that each year, a number of trends emerge when it comes to designer items. From Gucci’s Marmont crossbody bag to Bottega Veneta’s enviably cool pouch clutch or Jacquemus’s Le Chiquito, certain items develop a cult-like status amongst fashion enthusiasts and industry insiders alike. Though, cult status aside, you might be asking yourself which brands actually hold their value? Or which brands are the most in-demand when it comes to resale? Well, thanks to Vestiaire Collective, we just might have the answers, as the designer resale site has compiled some statistics to let us ...
Not All Jackets Are Created Equal—These 7 Are Truly Exceptional
Whether you’re ready for it or not, autumn is almost here (heck, some days, it feels like it already is), which can only mean one thing: It’s time to start thinking about jackets. You can keep your pumpkin spiced lattes and your opaque tights—jackets are easily my favourite thing about autumn. While I already have a few trusty styles to hand that I pull out every single year, it’s been a while since I treated myself to a new jacket, so right now, I’m officially in the market for some on-trend outerwear. This, however, isn’t a purchase I’ll make lightly. This jacket will have to carry me through the foreseeable future and go with everything I already own to make it worthwhile and justifiable. I’m not asking for much, right? Finding such a ...
Everyone Always Asks Me About My Dresses—These 44 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 ...
Zendaya’s Sultry Balmain Wet-Look Dress at Venice Film Festival Was Sculpted to Perfection
Whenever Zendaya steps on the red carpet, you can always count on a showstopping look. Thanks to her expert stylist Law Roach, and her own undeniable presence, Zendaya arrived at the Venice Film Festival premiere for Dune looking incredible in every sense of the word. This might be Zendaya’s best look yet, with her sultry, wet-look dress courtesy of Balmain. The detail of Zendaya’s custom Balmain dress is exceptional. It featured a sculpted piece of caramel-coloured leather that gave off a wet-look appearance and perfectly hugged the star’s body. “The bespoke leather gown was crafted using an exact model of the star’s bust, taking full advantage of the Balmain atelier and the house’s artisanal tradition,” the brand said in a press statement. She co...
The Coat Trends We Predict Everyone Will Be Wearing This Autumn
Out of all the fashion staples in our wardrobe, the coat is probably the item that worked the hardest last year, and something tells us the same will be said for 2021. As we enter September, while we are no longer in full lockdown, the humble coat will inevitably become an essential part of our style arsenal, whether we’re relishing our new-found freedom with dinners out, chilling at home or trekking into the office for the first time. Luckily, the new season is set to usher in a host of outwear trends that combine both form and function. The elevated puffer is, of course, sticking around and is surely one of the warmest things you can throw on on a chilly November morning, but this year they come with more streamlined quilting&n...
I Just Tried on the Best Petite Autumn Buys—Here’s What’s Actually Worth It
Amongst the women in my family, we’ve always believed in the power of the change-room boogie. You know, the inadvertent reaction you have when trying on clothes at a store and finally finding a piece that fits *just* right, inevitably leading to a quick shimmy in front of the change-room mirror to whatever pop song is playing over the loudspeaker. Okay, maybe it’s just us? But I’m sure everyone can relate to the exciting feeling of putting on an item of clothing that instantly fits like a glove. As a petite woman, I have to say it’s a rarity. There’s usually a skirt hem dragging on the floor or a trouser leg that requires rolling up whenever I’m trying on clothes. That is why this month, I set out to find some petite-specific items that warrant a change-room boogie (or in ...
I’m a Flat-Shoe Expert and These 31 Pairs Are the Prettiest I’ve Found
It’s official—flat shoes are cool, and I wear them around the clock. Not only are they more comfortable than any of the shoes I wore during my early 20s, but I also trip less.

5 Autumn TikTok Trends I’m Actually Going to Wear
From the runways to the virtual pavements of social media, team Who What Wear is here to decode every trend, no matter how big or how small. We look to all corners of the real world and the internet to hunt down the next big thing, and with the autumn season looming large, it felt like the right time to investigate the hotbed of newness that is TikTok. Here, trends take off almost out of nowhere, with little regard for what’s available in stores, what designers are offering or what Joe Public (that’s me) might be interested in wearing. It’s a microcosm of alternative subcultures and unique style, the likes of which you might not so readily find on other visual platforms such as Pinterest or Instagram. It’s where the strangest themes are born (goblincore or gorp...
The Cult Moisturisers Meghan Markle, Rosie HW, and J.Lo Actually Use
A good cleanser might be the foundation of any successful skincare routine, but finding the right moisturiser can take your skin to the next level. While celebrities might have access to the very best facials and skincare experts in the business, there’s no doubt that most of the A-list have seriously good skin, and a lot of that will be down to the moisturiser they slather on daily. Although there are celebrity exceptions (Emma Stone reportedly loves olive oil, while Pixi Geldof swears by argan oil), a little bit of digging proved that basically all our favourite celebrities were loyal to one moisturiser. Ranging from £13 to £350, there’s a whole mix of price points and skincare solutions here, but keep scrolling for the very best moisturisers that the likes of ...
6 Trending Prints Fashion People Are Backing for Autumn
Summer print trends are always pretty distinguishable—think daisies, bright tie-dye, rainbow stripes—but autumn print trends? They’re a little less predictable. Each cold-weather season sparks different print trends than the last, and autumn 2021 is no exception. Sure, you can always expect some form of checks to make an appearance, and with the simple update of a colour palette, florals are considered a motif you can wear year-round. But as for any other print trends? Until we see the creations designers have in store for us on the runway and which ones fashion people end up gravitating towards, your guess is as good as ours.

These Nail Designs Will Be Everywhere This Autumn
In case you hadn’t noticed, nails are in right now. In fact, the events of the past 18 months have had us expressing our creativity through nail designs in hundreds of different ways. Whether it’s via a nude, polished finish to make us feel pulled together, an array of rainbow brights to inject some joy into our day or something a little more artistic to serve as a creative outlet, we’re all turning to our nails as a way to make ourselves feel great. This is theory is most applicable come autumn. As the days get shorter and the weather gets increasingly dark and dreary, finding the little ways to lift our spirits and make us feel good about ourselves should be prioritised. And so, autumn nail trends are, if you ask us, amongst the most...
