12 Impressive Autumn Outfits Anyone Can Re-Create
We don’t know about you, but even though it’s August, we’re already thinking ahead to autumn and all the outfit potential that comes with the change in season. But autumn outfit ideas can be difficult to assemble. One minute we’re too hot, and the next it’s pouring rain and we’re definitely feeling like winter has arrived. So what’s a girl to do? A girl is to look right here, right now, at this lineup of clever outfit ideas. Thankfully, there are savvy dressers out there nailing the “in between seasons” thing quite nicely, and inspiring us to do the same. One thing they all excel at? Managing to walk the tightrope where one foot is still clinging onto sunshine-friendly favourites and the other is stepping well and tr...
Without a Doubt, These 13 Autumn Nail Colours Always Look Classy
That’s right—while our wardrobes may still be clinging onto the last few weeks of warm(ish) weather, as far as our nails go, our approach and preferences are absolutely geared towards autumn. I’m no exception, either, for the colour I chose was a rich, deep shade of burgundy, which I thought would help bridge the gap between getting the final few wears out of my breezy linen dresses and reintegrating knitwear into my outfits. Less committal than a new piece of clothing, shoe, or bag, but with the same ability to give your look a new-season refresh, I’ve charted the autumn nail colours that prove insanely popular season after season. And, for good trend-led measure, I’ve thrown in a couple of of-the-moment shades that’ll give your autumn style a swift 2021...
Everyone Always Asks Me About My Dresses—These 41 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 ...
Every Celeb Swears by Augustinus Bader Skincare, But Is It Worth the Splurge?
When it comes to cult skincare there are few brands more hyped than Augustinus Bader. Despite only launching in 2018 with just two products—the now iconic The Cream and The Rich Cream—Augustinus Bader has amassed an impressively devout following of celebrities, makeup artists and beauty editors who all swear by the glow-boosting, skin-smoothing benefits of this covetable moisturiser. From Alexa Chung and Naomi Campbell to Hailey Bieber and Priyanka Chopra, basically every A-lister has a bottle of Augustinus Bader in the skincare rotation—and if they don’t then their makeup artist will. But at £205 a pop for a bottle of moisturiser, it’s impossible to offer up a truly unbiased review of Augustinus Bader without mentioning the cost. Because, let’s b...
This High-Street Shirt Is Being Picked Up by People in the Know
There are various stylistic components that come into play to make an item of clothing look premium, and alongside dramatic silhouettes and heavyweight fabrics, I would have to say that unexpected prints are definitely a key factor. Just take Whistles’ short-sleeved shirt as an example: I spotted the piece within the brand’s ‘new in‘ section and was instantly drawn-in by the unusual map print, something I hadn’t seen anywhere else on the high street. It could have easily just stepped off the runway. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power.

5 Simple Shoes You Should Never Purge From Your Wardrobe
I’ve already waxed poetic about the classic clothing items you should never purge from your wardrobe (like a blazer or skinny jeans), and that story generated so many conversations that I felt it might be helpful to expand into another wardrobe staple: shoes. While shoe trends come and go, there are some styles you can let go of with little chance you’ll want to wear them again (I’m looking at you, wedge sneakers), and there are other styles you’re guaranteed to regret within months of tossing them. Now I’m not talking about shoe styles that are totally thrashed. If you’ve worn a pair of shoes out past the point of repair, then, by all means, get rid of them. But if it’s one of the styles I’m about to discuss, do yourself a favor an...
14 Items That Make Up Rosie HW’s Perfect Summer-to-Autumn Capsule
As far as modern-day minimalist muses go, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has firmly secured a spot on the top of the list. The model and beauty mogul regularly delivers pared-back outfit ideas to her loyal following of over 13 million fans, acquiring hundreds of thousands of likes in the process.

Straight leg white jeans, crisp button-down shirts and tailored trousers are just some of the wardrobe essentials she wears on repeat. You...
11 Classic Pieces That Should Feature in Every Autumn Wardrobe, No Arguments
While we love nothing more than unearthing a new microtrend or patiently waiting to see the fresh looks our favourite designers have in store for us at the start of each new season, you don’t necessarily want to build your wardrobe based on the trends that disappear as quickly as they arrived. Instead, it’s about striking the perfect balance of integrating timely pieces, such as an of-the-moment colour or print, with more everlasting staples that you’ll love and wear for years to come. This is the key to ensuring your outfits always hit the mark. So, as we gleefully talk about the trends set to define the season ahead (of which there are plenty of impressive ones), we need to do so with a measured approach by considering the classic autumn fashion items you can wear ...
4 Dress Trends You’re Going to See Everywhere This Season
While I love to savour every last minute of summer, it has come time to accept that autumn is just around the corner. And although I am not particularly enthused about the idea of cooler weather, I have to admit I am quite excited by the prospect of trying all of the season’s new trends. When it comes to dresses, there are a few themes we are already starting to see come through for autumn, whether it be thanks to the A/W 21 runways or the outfits we’ve spotted on social media. Shades of green and plisse fabrics are among two of the most popular looks we are already seeing, with brands including Ganni, Mango and COS partaking in the trends. Slim-fitting knitted dresses are also quite prominent this season, which can be traced back to Jac...

Image Source: Getty via Bettmann Kensington Palace’s summer exhibition Royal Style in the Making is an exquisite look at the craftsmanship behind the royal family’s most memorable gowns. With a focus on dresses worn by Princess Diana, Princess Margaret, and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, one of the most exciting parts of the exhibition are the exclusive interviews with some of the most decorated royal couturiers. Elizabeth Emanuel, along with her partner David Emanuel, cocreated Diana’s iconic 1981 bridal gown, and the designer shared the moment she knew her life was forever changed.

22 Outfit Ideas I Have Really Loved This Week
There’s nothing quite like the inexplicable satisfaction of a really good outfit. Sometimes it can be hard to put your finger on what it is exactly that makes something work: It could be a clever colour combination, an unexpected silhouette, or even a subtle trim on a pair of trousers. As a fashion editor, it is my job to keep an eye out for these winning ensembles. It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. We even have a channel on Slack that is literally dedicated to great outfits, and boy, are there plenty to choose from. This story is essentially a line-up of all the fabulous outfits that have been given the Slack-channel seal of approval. I find that the looks that stand out to me are often relatively simple in composition ...
Former GAP CEO Says Kanye West Shouldn’t Have Made Deal With Brand
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty A fashion veteran has his opinion on one of the biggest deals in recent history. The former CEO at The GAP says that Kanye West shouldn’t have done a deal with the San Francisco brand. As spotted on Hype Beast the Chicago, Illinois native is getting some free jewelry from someone who is familiar with his newest venture. In an interview with Yahoo Finance Live Mickey Drexler, former CEO at The Gap, expressed his concerns regarding the partnership. “I probably shouldn’t say this but I told him he shouldn’t do the deal because it doesn’t make any sense in my opinion,” he told the outlet. “He is not a corporate person and Gap is a big corporation.” If any executive would be best qualified to comment on the deal his first pie...
