7 Wardrobe Classics That Look So Much Better Second-Hand
For anyone who isn’t well acquainted with the world of vintage fashion, you would be forgiven for thinking that it’s a market solely dedicated to OTT prints, extraverted silhouettes, and eccentric styling. In my experience, it’s also a treasure trove of versatile, well-made wardrobe basics that act as the glue in my year-round capsule. I’m thinking tailored blazers, leather boots, and chunky knitwear that transcend seasonal trends and come with very reasonable price tags. Style, quality, and affordability? It’s a win-win situation.

Everything You Need to Know About Choosing Your Wedding Perfume
By all accounts, when I got married back in June 2018, it was a fairly laid-back affair—70 of our nearest and dearest crammed into an old London pub to watch my husband and I exchange wedding vows before a pie-and-mash dinner and a rather rowdy party. However, despite taking a laissez-faire approach to things like colour schemes, centrepieces and seating plans, there was one part of my day that I was determined would be extra special: my wedding perfume. Admittedly, it might seem a rather odd aspect of the day to obsess over, but as someone who loves perfume, I knew that I wanted a fragrance that would truly mark the occasion. I wanted a scent that I could smell in years to come that would still take me back to the most fun and joyous day of my ...
This Is What the High Street Is Getting Right This Autumn
A couple of the Who What Wear editors and I were discussing the high street’s A/W 21 trends the other day, and the main thing we noted was how similar they were to last year’s offering. And you know what? It really is a breath of fresh air. Scroll through any new-in category right now, and you’ll see plenty of cold-weather heroes starting to trickle in: puffer coats, chunky boots, crew-neck knits and clean-lined tailoring. The emphasis seems to be on classics over gimmicks and versatility over novelty. Has the concept of trends taken a bit of a bashing over the last 12 months? Undoubtedly, and it shows.

27 Low-Effort Ways to Remix Your Brown Hair
Fellow brunettes, if you’re anything like me, you probably let your locks hibernate all winter, only to find yourself jonesing for a colour refresh come spring. This year, the occasion to apply some fresh colour feels even more merited—especially for those people out there who went sans-salon through the entire pandemic—which is why autumn’s arrival has me craving a colour touch-up. If you’re not quite ready to return to your high-maintenance highlights or all-around blonde from before times, we have the perfect alternate: balayage brown hair, a low-lift, high-reward colour placement option that will ease the transition from summer to autumn. For those who aren’t familiar, balayage started as an unfussy cod...
We’re Obsessed by These 5 Autumn Colour Trends
It might only be the first week of September and, yes, summer wares may still line the shelves of our favourite high street stores, but we can’t help but notice that the new-in sections are slowly but surely being infiltrated by autumn pieces—from trans-seasonal jackets to sturdy boots—and we’re not going to lie, we’re pretty excited about it. There are a few colours that inevitably dominate every single autumn, however, there are some new additions that are set to make a splash this September. While last year everyone lost it over browns and khakis, this year it’s more about colour binaries: think lime green rubbing shoulders with burnt orange, and pale beige put into relief by fashion editor black (yes we...
4 Autumn Trends French Women Won’t Ever Wear
We’ve already outlined the trends for autumn 2021 in our trend report, which covered all the noteworthy looks you need to know. However, if you’re short on time, we’ll sum it up—they’re somewhat eclectic. The bold and daring ensembles on one runway were balanced out by sleek tailoring and neutral palettes on another, which certainly made for interesting viewing. It also means that this season is perhaps more divisive than any other—you’re either in one sartorial camp or another. Always eager to get a Gallic girl’s fashion perspective, we asked four French women to tell us the trend they personally won’t be wearing this season as well as the trend they will. Whether you agree with their choices or not is entirely up to you—there’s no rig...
These Instagram Hairstyles Are Making Us So Excited for Autumn
Somehow, we blinked and autumn is very much on its way. And while summer is the season for lightening our locks and heat-proofing our hairstyles, the cooler months bring with them the option of a whole new wardrobe of hair accessories and less concern about humidity ruining our styles. We just won’t speak about the inevitability of all of that autumnal rainfall. When it comes to the best hairstyles for autumn, there are so many easy-to-do looks for every hair length and texture. We’re actually a little bit spoilt for choice, from swept-back buns to classic waves. Maintenance-wise, Headmasters artistic ambassador Sian Quinn has this advice: “To keep your hair in the best condition during the colder months, I would say it is so imp...
10 Early 2000s Nail Trends We Kinda, Sorta Never Stopped Loving
You might think Instagram sparked the golden age of manicures. But looking back, it turns out the early aughts walked so the 2010s could run. The new millennium started out with some late-’90s mall relics like frosted polish and French manicures but became more adventurous as time went on when Chanel’s gone-but-never-forgotten Black Satin polish hit the scene. And things just got more over-the-top from there. But like so many other nostalgic fashion and beauty trends, we suddenly want to wear them all over again. In fact, the biggest nail trends of 2021 are remarkably similar to those that took over 2001. To prove it, we’re taking a walk down manicure memory lane with Brittney Boyce, celebrity nail artist and founder of Nails of LA, and including ways to re-create the looks right this...
I’m 5’1″, and These Are the Best Petite Autumn Picks I’ve Found
As a petite woman, I often dread dressing for the cooler months. More layers usually equate to more trips to the tailor, as there’s always another billowing sleeve take up or trouser leg to hem. (Of course, I’ve discovered many a DIY hack in my time and can’t tell you how useful iron-on hemming tape can be when you’re in a bit of a rush.) However, this autumn, I’m attempting to keep my alterations to a minimum and instead invest in clothes that actually fit to begin with. As more and more petite-specific options become available, it’s easier to find items that not only fit my stature but also genuinely adhere to my personal style. Gone are the days of petite options being relegated to a small selection of jeans styles at Topshop. Now, plenty of brands exist that are catering to w...
Awkwafina Is the Moment (Whether She Likes It or Not)
Being the “first” can come with a lot of pressure, though. While representation seems to be growing in Hollywood and we’re starting to see more people of color on our screens, Lum is still one of the few Asian actors in the industry who are considered “household names.” She’s become the face of Asian representation. I imagine it would feel like a burden at times to have that pressure on you, but Lum takes it all in stride. “I’ve said this a lot—when you first start out, you don’t understand why you have to shoulder it for the community. You don’t understand why your choices will reflect this entire community of people that are very diverse, and you just want to be known for yourself,” Lum thoughtfully explains. “What e...
Of All the New Trends, Influencers Are Actually Wearing These 8
When you think about it, influencers are a bit like interpreters. Often, they are the go-betweens translating the trends we see on the runways to the way we actually wear them. This is why we never underestimate the power of street style. With Copenhagen Fashion Week having just passed and the traditional fashion month schedule kicking off imminently, everyone seems to be dressing a little trendier lately—and we love it. In fact, it has made for such good viewing we’ve decided to round up the trends that truly matter to influencers right now, which should help inspire your own outfits for the season ahead. With so many trends to consider, which ones have influencers and street style stars given their seal of approval? After doing some research, we began to se...
