Normani, Cher, and Saweetie Star in Pirelli’s 2022 Calendar Dedicated to Musicians on Tour
The 2022 Pirelli Calendar “On The Road” by musician Bryan Adams and shot by photographer Alessandro Scotti celebrates some of the world’s best musical talents from diverse nationalities, music genres, ages, and levels of experience. “On The Road” shares an intimate look at musicians on tour during different stages of the day — starring Cher, Grimes, Jennifer Hudson, Normani, Rita Ora, Bohan Phoenix, Iggy Pop, St. Vincent, Kali Uchis, and Saweetie. “On the road where I have been for the last 45 years,” Adams explains his inspiration in a press statement. “Because the life of a musician is made up of roads, travel, waiting in hotels, hours back stage.” Shot between Los Angeles and Capri, the 48th edition of the iconic calendar features St...

33 Autumn Finds From Zara, H&M and Mango I Can’t Get Out of My Mind
Like so many, my shopping habits have changed vastly over the past 18 months. My second-hand intake has gone up by about 100%, and I find that I have more willpower than I previously did when scouting out the various new-in sections I browse daily—which I only do as part of my job, of course… Ordinarily, I’d have a wish list as long as my arm filled with shoes and dresses to wear to weddings, pieces I want to pack for holidays and a handful of chic items to wear to work. Now, aside from the four weddings I have on the horizon, for which I’ll be wearing outfits I already have in my wardrobe, I haven’t felt the insatiable need to buy anything new. Still, on the cusp of a new season, I thought I’d perhaps take a look at the latest collecti...
10 New-In Buys I Really Love This Week
As several warehouses and stores shuttered over the past 12 months, the fashion industry faces huge challenges and strains that pose an inevitable threat to businesses. Many of us won’t be shopping in the same way right now, but even a like on Instagram or a message of support can provide a boost for these brands. I certainly don’t want anyone to feel like they have to buy more right now, but at the same time, after working in the fashion industry for nine years, I want to support the brands and pieces that I love and treasure. As an editor at Who What Wear, I typically spend a lot of time looking at new-in products, and so every week, I update this story with the pieces that have caught my eye and that really stand out. The weather this week has seen us all return to our knitw...
Katie Holmes Just Ditched Her Jeans For These Trending Trousers
We been documenting Katie Holmes‘ looks for some time now. Ever since she wowed everyone with that cardigan-and-bra Khaite set, we’ve been tracking her casual out-and-about outfits. Most often, she likes to wear jeans and tee, with loafers or a smart coat when the the weather is cooler, and with Birkenstocks when it’s summer. But this week, we spotted the actress had ditched her trusty denim in favour of something more fashion forward for 2021: pleated trousers. The look, which I’d argue originated with The Row, has transformed from stuffy suit styling to casual coffee-run chic. Holmes paired her dusty pink versions with a pair of Gucci loafers and a white shirt, which is an ideal summer outfit if we ever saw one (so much loose material is great on a hot ...
No One Believes I Found This Cool £13 Top From Marks and Spencer
What is behind our continued obsession with tie-dye? And when I say “our,” I mean everyone, not just the fashion crowd. While the trend might have exploded on the runways a few seasons ago (Dior, Proenza Schouler and Versace, to name a few), it wasn’t until we hit the first lockdown that the trend suddenly became the print du jour, with online global shopping platform Lyst reporting a huge increase in searches for the print last year. I think part of its appeal is to do with its roots—most recently in ’60s hippie culture—and as such, it’s associated with a more laid-back lifestyle. In a world where anxiety is, understandably, at an all-time high, tie-dye gives the impression of being more chilled out even when you probably aren’t. Pe...
We’re Not Olympic Judges, but We’d Score Tom Daley’s Knitted Team GB Cardigan an 11/10
Here at POPSUGAR, we’re huge fans of the Olympics, especially when it comes to cheering on Team GB and becoming experts in sports we weren’t familiar with before 23 July. But there’s another sport that we’ve become even more obsessed with during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, and that’s Tom Daley knitting and crocheting in the stands whilst cheering on his teammates. We’ve seen him crochet a dog jumper, an Olympic medal pouch, and also an epic Olympic-themed cardigan. After working on it over the last few weeks, Tom proudly showed off his latest masterpiece on his Instagram page @madewithlovebytomdaley. “When I got to Tokyo, I wanted to make something that would remind me of these games. Something that I could say I had made in Tokyo, during the Oly...
Lady Gaga Looks Like She’s Leaving the Gym Until You See Her 8-Inch Platform Boots
Despite recently returning from the far away planet of Chromatica, Lady Gaga continues to remind us that she is the most fashionable alien to walk this Earth. The House of Gucci multi-hyphenate was seen on Wednesday, 4 Aug. in a Marc Jacobs set and a casual pair of 8-inch platform boots. Although the baby blue Marc Jacobs sport set Gaga is wearing is adorable and we absolutely want one, it feels almost unnatural to see her in such a tame outfit. Then, of course, we see her white patent Pleaser boots with a neck-breaking eight-inch platform heel, and all is right in the world again. Gaga is a huge fan of Pleaser’s iconic shoes, and the singer’s collection of sky-high platform heels has been growing since her ArtPop fashion era in the 2010s. Keep reading for a closer looks at Lad...
These 5 Brands Are the Epitome of the Roaring Twenties
There have been countless moments throughout history when fashion has been a signifier of change: From the eradication of the corset and the sexual liberation of the minidress to the power suits of the 1980s, it has a unique power to speak to both the political and cultural shifts that are occurring at any given moment. The Roaring Twenties has got to be up there in the fashion hall of fame when it comes to clothing’s symbolic power. Broadly considered a period of economic prosperity that spread after the desolation of World War One, it was a decade that saw an explosion of innovation within the world of art, culture and style. Hemlines rose, waistlines were relaxed and hair was bobbed; the flapper was even a symbol of women̵...
5 Expensive-Looking Colours That’ll Make Your Home Look Expensive
Choosing which colours to decorate your home with is probably the most important decision you’ll make with regard to your interiors. Like fashion, homeware aesthetics fade in and out of popularity, but as far as colour trends go, it pays to go with your gut and invest in the hues that make you happy and feel at ease in your space. This, however, doesn’t mean you have to opt for a wholly neutral palette. Bright colours might be what makes you tick, and that’s okay, especially at the moment, when many bright hues have made an impressive and stylish comeback on the interiors scene, providing us with a much-needed refresh from the cold, grey shades that dominated for the longest time. So if you’re looking to switch up your home with a new shade, or if you’re ...
These 10 Microtrends Are Going to Be the Next Big Thing
You probably know this by now: Team Who What Wear loves a microtrend. We’re always keen to decode the runways in order to bring you a realistic line-up of the most influential looks you’ll want to incorporate into your own wardrobe each season (and autumn/winter 2021 is looking particularly tempting already) but there’s no denying the power of an up-and-coming item, styling idea, colour or detail that hasn’t yet hit the big time or been splashed all over the catwalks. Nothing says in-the-know quite like a niche trend, and we’re PHD-level hunters in this field. Our predictions ahead of summer were spot on: Key pieces we put bets on, such as fisherman sandals, floppy fabric hats and corsets, have not only spread far and wide on social media,...
