I Looked Through Every High-Street Store to Find 32 of the Best Knitwear Pieces
There’s no doubt that this summer has lacked a certain oomph. From the dismal weather (except for those three days of sunshine) to extortionate holiday prices in the UK, I think I can speak for everyone when I say good riddance, British summer. While I haven’t had as much wear out of my Arizona Love leopard-print sandals as I would have liked, there’s a bright fashion spot on the horizon: knitwear. And what an offering there is already available to us on the high street. If you’re a regular reader of Who What Wear, you’ll know that we’ve already pegged this Arket Breton sweater as being a front runner for one of the major pieces of knitwear for the season. But there are oh so many more jumpers, cardigans and vests that we need to bri...
I’m a Knitted Vest Fan, and These Are the Outfits I Want to Try This Autumn
Reminiscent of stuffy professors, teen movie nerds and, of course, Chandler from Friends, the sweater vest is the jumper trend that has won the hearts of fashion girls this season. Historically, it was one of those items of clothing that was synonymous with ‘uncool’ individuals, but it’s fair to say the last 12 months has been a celebration of all things frumpy, with editors and influencers alike embracing the quirky appeal of homely knitwear and practical shoes. I have well and truly fallen for the sweater vest this season, and I was kindly given a cream oversized iteration from H&M last winter and have worn it constantly over white shirts and cream roll-necks. It’s a true layering hero. Pers...
I Just Tried on the Mango Outfit Everyone’s Hyped About
The whole Who What Wear UK team is in research mode ahead of autumn, and as such, there’s a great deal of digital chatter over key items we’re bookmarking. The same few pieces have come up in conversation over and over again during the past few weeks: the £50 Marks and Spencer knee-high boots we can’t believe are high-street, a quilted jacket from The Frankie Shop that has sold-out status already, the COS dress that works perfectly from summer to autumn and finally, a very chic-looking instant outfit from Mango… We’re no strangers to Mango’s knitwear. In fact, I’ve spoken about how good its jumpers, cardigans and knitted dresses can be. But there’s a new addition to this category that looks particularly ...
Of All the Cool Trends Out There, These Are the 11 Celebrities Actually Wear
With an access-all-areas pass to the coolest, newest and most in-demand items in fashion, celebrities don’t just follow trends; they have the power to spark them on a level not even the runways can muster. And while we’ve missed out on the red carpet looks that we usually see the stars wearing for glittering award shows and premieres, we don’t feel short-changed. In fact, we think the most exciting celebrity looks always come from their downtime—when they’re running errands in NYC, stopping for a caffeine fix during a stroll in London or simply checking in with their Instagram followings, showing off their outfits in the process. And this year, there have been lots of impressive outfits at that. As recently as just last week, celebrities have been out in f...
Everyone Always Asks Me About My Dresses—These 36 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 ...
This Is Why French Girls Always Have the Best Fringes
I’ve made no secret of my obsession with French-girl hair. There’s just something effortlessly chic about the strands of our continental fashion friends that I can only ever hope to replicate with my own five-minute work hairstyles. However, I think there’s one style in particular that French girls lead the way in above all others: the fringe. A tricky thing to get right, fringes are notorious for being both high maintenance (in terms of regular trims and hair washing) and difficult to pull off. French women, however, seem to have discovered the perfect fringe formula, and trust me—it looks good every single time. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

A Dermatologist Told Me These Moisturisers Are Key for Plump, Dewy Skin
Pretty much everyone wants hydrated, dewy, plump skin, right? Well, having healthy skin is definitely important to me. After writing about skincare for a while and also just going through life, I think I have a handle on what it takes to keep my skin on track. Some things include eating well, getting enough sleep, drinking enough water, keeping up with my skincare routine, and using the right products with ingredients that work for my specific skin type. One ingredient that I’ve learned can be a huge help in keeping your skin moisturised and healthy? Collagen. “Collagen is the main structural protein found in the extracellular matrix of most of our body’s connective tissues,” explains board-certified dermatologist Naissan Wesley, MD. “It is found throughout th...
And Just Like That, Everyone I Follow Is Wearing These Magical Dresses
The lines of minimalist style and avant-garde design rarely cross, but Cecilie Bahnsen has set about changing that. Founded in Denmark in 2014, this Scandi brand has steadily risen through the fashion ranks over the last few seasons, but we’re of the opinion that 2021 is going to be its strongest year yet. Consistently the toast of Copenhagen Fashion Week, Cecilie Bahnsen’s frothy runway creations continue to make a seamless transition to our Instagram feeds. Looking at them, it’s little wonder the brand’s delicate, almost doll-like designs have won the hearts of the fashion elite. Featuring oversized yet simple silhouettes, beautiful embellishments and reach-out-and-touch-me textures, the pieces are akin to what you’d expect to find in a coutur...
The Affordable Brand I Buy My Most-Complimented Jumpers From
Strong knitwear is at the heart of every good autumn wardrobe, but you needn’t search far and wide to find chic styles to update your existing wares with. Over the past couple of winter seasons, I’ve come to realise that the jumpers I always get the most compliments on are my Marks and Spencer jumpers. And I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Made from quality fabrications with durability I just can’t find anywhere else on the high street, Marks and Spencer jumpers have proven to be one of my wisest fashion investments to date. And this year, there are so many stylish options to choose from it would be rude of me not to share them with you. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

5 Trending Colours Zara Is Backing in a Big Way for Autumn
Is it just us, or has someone flipped the switch from summer to autumn at Zara HQ? On our latest deep dive into its new-in section, we didn’t have to look far to realise that autumn has officially arrived at the brand. Needless to say, this is something we’re pretty pleased about. After a recent cold snap and distinctly shorter days, we’re officially and unapologetically in autumn mode—and Zara is more than happy to cater to our subsequent style needs with its fresh dose of knitwear, jeans, jackets and boots. However, these aren’t the only buys Zara’s getting right. In fact, it’s already evident that there are five trending colours its is backing for the season ahead.

If You Buy One High-Street Dress Right Now, Make It This One
From H&M Studio to Whistles Limited Edition, I’ve always been a fan of high-street premium lines as, more often than not, they really do come up trumps for both quality and design. This summer it was the turn of River Island and its Studio collection which, while relatively new to the scene, has previously received rave reviews from fashion insiders. Well, this season is no different, with the brand offering up a seriously chic edit of expensive-looking summer staples. But there is one dress, in particular, that I have to tell you about.

Small But Mighty: 33 Pieces From the Coolest Independent Brands
Sadly, some of these labels have been hit by the global pandemic, and as a publication, we’re doing our very best to support the talent we love in any way possible. That’s why we’ve dedicated our end-of-month shopping gallery to these independent brands. Honestly, we were spoilt for choice, and we wish we could include every brand we came across online (although that would turn into a long article), but we managed to whittle it down to 33 new season-ready pieces. Of course, we understand that many of you are tightening the purse strings right now, but we would love for you to show your support by giving your favourite independent brand some airtime on social media, posting a nice comment on its fee...
