My Favourite Perfumes Are French Perfumes—These 27 Are Truly Special
Discovering your signature scent can be a long and arduous path, but it’s one which all beauty aficionados know is worth traversing. Fragrance has the power to unlock memories and define moments, so it certainly pays to find one that you love to wear. Still, the process can be off-putting, to say the least. Seldom can you truly understand how a perfume is going to smell on your skin without having worn it for a prolonged period of time. This is why I always advise getting your hands on a tester if at all possible. It’ll allow you to try it at your leisure and in your everyday life, as opposed to a quick spritz on your arm in a store. However, I acknowledge that obtaining these testers isn’t always easy, especially if you don’t live near a stockist whi...

The Classic Makeup Products That Over-50 French Women Swear By
A recent conversation with Marie-Laure Fournier, president of Fournier PR + Consulting, inspired us to put together the following shopping list of the makeup products French women over 50 swear by. “A French women at 50 years old is magnifique, self-confident, and has nothing to prove to anyone anymore—and she shows it,” Fournier told us. “Her makeup is sophisticated but also adapted to her needs and her image. Basically, at 50 years old, a French woman completely understands that when it comes to makeup, less is more.” So even though the following makeup products may not exactly be revolutionary in the beauty space, they’re the ones French women of a certain age will never part with.

I Switched to Gel Skincare and My Skin Has Never Looked So Good
“The advantage of gels is that they can be very hydrating and quickly absorbed so they’re perfect for layering,” says Dr Justine Hextall, FRCP Consultant Dermatologist. “There is so much interest in actives and as such several products may need to be applied, gel works well for this.” With the hotter weather in the UK and the continued wearing of face masks you might find your oil-based products clogging your pores, leading to breakouts. “Using a lightweight gel that is non-greasy, helps to hydrate and protect the skin barrier, reducing dryness and irritation under a mask without being comedogenic,” says Dr Hextall. And in the cooler months, when dryness is more of a concern, she suggests layering gel formulas with a non-gel moisturiser t...
18 Easy Outfit Ideas I’m Wearing on Rotation This Summer
What is it about easy outfit ideas that are just so hard to come by? Perhaps it’s when we get swayed by trends or simply have too many options in a bursting wardrobe to think clearly (see our ways to clear out a wardrobe if you’re really struggling on this point). Either way, we all have those days where getting dressed is a chore. And summer calls for the easiest outfits to avoid a sweat-inducing panic before the day even begins to heat up. You know, the low-maintenance dresses that only require a sandal to be complete. Or the throw-on two-piece that is light, comfortable and effortlessly versatile with an accessory switch. Although these pieces need little introduction, each summer there are new recipes for success when it comes to creating the perfect look. You Deserve...
This Brand Is Making Me Think About My Autumn Wardrobe Right Now
Ask most of the Who What Wear team, and they’ll tell you that autumn is their favourite season to dress for. It’s still warm enough not to require bundling yourself up in ridiculously chunky layers but cold enough to dabble in cosy textures and interesting styling ideas. We also find ourselves consistently drawn to the rich, expensive-looking colour palette most associated with the season—think sublime rust hues, deep burgundy, navy, shocks of teal and, yes, classic black and white. Ordinarily, finding pieces we love for autumn is akin to a treasure hunt—we might find a hint of what we like here and there, but it takes a lot of scrambling to assemble an impressive edit. However, this year, there’s one brand we know we’re going to uncover the best autumn buys fr...

This Major Classic Trend Is Going to Dominate the Next Six Months
A few weeks ago, I was seeking fashion advice from our Facebook shopping group So… Should I Buy This? in relation to a leopard-print jacket I was contemplating buying. The response was overwhelmingly positive: Some readers even insisted that leopard print is a neutral and, as such, a wardrobe investment that cannot be faltered. Still, coming to terms with its newfound chicness can be difficult, as the motif is so rooted in pop culture. Heck, it wasn’t all that long ago that leopard print was considered tacky (hello, Janice from Friends or Kat from EastEnders) and synonymous with the “mutton dressed as lamb” stereotype, outdated as it may be. In 2021, however, it has been widely embraced by the fashion crowd, most notably by achingly cool inf...

Zoë Kravitz Keeps Wearing This Basic Summer Outfit, and It Works Every Time
Hats off to Zoë Kravitz. While she doesn’t often get spotted out and about, when she does show up every now and again, she manages to wow us, even with the plainest of outfits. What’s her secret? Well, dear reader, it all comes down to this: simplicity. Over the years, we’ve analysed the star’s outfits, and she never makes it fussy or over-the-top. She keeps it simple whether it’s a bejewelled bra and black skirt for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party or just an oversized shirt and jeans. She sticks to a couple of really great pieces, and that’s what makes her style stand out. One of her most recent outfit proved our point beautifully, as it comprised of just a white vest top and a green slip skirt. She accessorised...
