5 Autumn Trends Who What Wear Editors Are Very Into This Season
Although we’re still in the middle of summer, our attention has already been zeroing in on the autumn collections and all the inspiring trends about to enter the spotlight. When a change in seasons is imminent, many of us on the team sort through our wardrobe to identify those slightly outdated pieces that could be stored away to make room for fresher finds. Currently, there’s a smattering of new trends that we’re loving to potentially replace some of the pieces we’re not feeling as much. Of course, though, everything mentioned is strictly based on personal opinion, and you should really just wear whatever you love. Everything coming your way is simply intended to inspire your wardrobe. Keep scrolling to check out new trends to consider, com...

If you’ve ever worn a strapless bra, you’ll know that finding one that doesn’t slip down as soon as you put it on is a skill.

7 Styling Tips We Learned From Dua Lipa’s Stunning Summer Outfits
Dua Lipa never misses a beat with her fun, colourful, throwback outfits. The Future Nostalgia singer has fully committed to the Y2K fashion aesthetic with help from her exceptional stylist Lorenzo Posocco. If you’ve ever wanted to know how to copy her best Y2K fashion moments, we have a few tips that will make it a piece of cake. Dua’s take on Y2K style means a lot of pink and butterfly details. Some of her best summer looks include a baby tee or cropped top with a pair of animal-print jeans. She loves matching the colours in her outfit with her accessories — especially her shoes, baguette bags, tinted sunglasses, thin belts, and chunky rings. On the topic of rings, a Dua look is incomplete without them. Like fellow stylish star Sophie Turner, Dua loves stacking candy-coloured ...
4 Simple Outfit Pairings That Make an Immediate Impact
Coco Chanel famously said, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” While I don’t think this dictum is applicable in every situation (sometimes more is undoubtedly more), I do think that, on the whole, simplicity is the key to creating outfits that exude assurance in one’s sense of style. It’s this “new minimalism” that, I believe, has allowed designer brands to boast their timeless credentials and offered high-street brands a chance to realise the power of a well-made basic. There are certain simple pairings that I turn to on a regular basis, but let me tell you just because they’re composed of basics does not mean they lack in impact. The secret is sticking to one concept: ...
As a Black Woman I Always Avoided Tan Drops, Until I Tried These Ones
I’ve never been one to shy away from a viral beauty trend. From buzzy throwbacks like cracking nail varnish (2012, you called?) and burgundy lipsticks to more recent trends like contouring and glass skin, I’m always up for experimenting. However, there’s one beauty trend that up until recently, I just couldn’t get on board with—self-tan. My reason for this? Well, firstly, as a Black woman I’ve always been pretty dubious about what the end result would actually look like, whether it would be totally unnoticeable on my skin tone or would leave me looking patchy. Secondly, even if I was curious, the tanning industry is notorious about being pretty much non-existent for darker skin tones. So, imagine my surprise when I started to notice Black women professing t...
6 Hairstyles That Make Thin Hair Look Instantly Thicker
It’s a good job that hair salons are open again because thin hair really benefits from regular trims to avoid those straggly ends that can make fine hair look even finer. “Always maintain a six weekly trim, even if it’s just that millimetre to keep things sharp,” advises Darren Fowler, Kérastase Expert and Owner of Fowler35 Salon. “At Fowler35 we use a technique that gives invisible structure and support to fine hair in the right areas—it works wonders!” With this in mind, Fowler is a big fan of sharp, blunt haircuts for thin hair. “Stay with a haircut that has a lot of good, strong, blunt lines,” he suggests.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a da...
We Can’t Get Enough of J.Lo and Ben Affleck Matching Their Accessories
Unless you’ve been living in a cave with no internet for the past week, you’re probably aware that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are in Italy to celebrate her 52nd birthday. They’re really making the rounds in the country (as one does when they have a yacht), and one of their latest stops was Capri. While out sightseeing, accompanied by paparazzi and a very large crowd of eager fans, Bennifer put their 2.0 couple style on display. They both dressed casually—Affleck in a T-shirt and khaki pants and Lopez in a white shorts set and glamorous straw hat—with one matching item we couldn’t help but notice: aviator sunglasses. Both Lopez and Affleck have been wearing aviator sunglasses for years, so it’s probably just...
9 Perfect Outfits to Wear in 15-Degree Weather
Given the glorious weather most of the country has been enjoying lately, it’s hard to imagine it being any other way—at least for the next month or so. But we all know how quickly temperatures can drop here in the UK, so it never fails to have a few outfits and key pieces on standby for when it inevitably does so. The big question is, what to wear in 15-degree weather? Fifteen degrees might seem chilly, especially when you compare it to the highs of 25+ we’ve been experiencing. Still, it’s actually a pretty comfortable temperature—not too hot, but not too cold. Still, this indeterminate forecast makes it difficult to dress for. Wear too thick a knit, and chances are you’ll feel flushed, whereas breezy, lightweight textures like linen might feel too cool on thei...
Katie Holmes Just Swapped Her Favourite Baggy Jeans for This Trend Instead
Katie Holmes, queen of low-key trends, just wore a high-key trend in a very low-key way. And this is why everyone is obsessed with what she wears. She doesn’t try too hard, yet she can pull off almost anything. The trend in question is cut-outs, and they’re wildly popular this summer. I basically shop for a living, and I come across cut-out pieces on practically every shopping site I peruse (of which there are many). While walking around NYC recently, as she often does, Holmes wore a crop top with a long white skirt with cut-outs at the waist (!) and her signature black leather Birkenstocks. Based on my Instagram, which includes many a fashion person wearing cut-out items these days, this outfit is sure to have plenty of fans. If you count yourself as one of them, scr...
9 Trends Zara Has Gotten So, So Right This Season
We’re in the midst of summer (what a summer it’s turning out to be at that), and Zara has just made seeing out the next few months feel like a fun sartorial challenge rather than a slow descent into chillier climes. It’s making the most of summer so we can make the most of summer. And for that, we’re thankful. As with many other high-street brands, Zara is making sure the ’90s reign supreme right now across just about every product category. Instead of trudging up long-buried, cringe-worthy outfit flashbacks from our youth, Zara’s taken the best of the decade and turned it into a very chic 2021 capsule, with pieces including oversized blazers (which look the throwback part paired with cycling shorts) and Carrie-esque square-toe sandal...
10 Autumn Buys That Are Making Me Look Forward to September
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...
Angelina Jolie Wore the Trouser Trend That’s Fresher Than Cropped Skinny Pants
Angelina Jolie’s outfits always catch our attention, but especially when she’s in Paris (because who doesn’t love to see what people wear in Paris?). Jolie was recently in the City of Lights with her kids wearing a characteristically chic outfit. She wore her signature neutral color palette, opting for a white T-shirt, tan accessories and the subject of this story: full-length wide-leg khaki pants. If trouser muses were a thing (and perhaps they are), Angelina Jolie would be at the top of the list. You may recall that Jolie recently wore wide-leg jeans to the airport, and the look basically went viral. Wide-leg, full-length pants are a staple of hers, and they’ve pretty much taken the place of cropped skinny trousers for the time being...
