This Chic Staple Is the Hardest-Working Item in Any Wardrobe
At Who What Wear, we’re big fans of blazers. This is mainly because we genuinely believe they have the power to transform any look. When we’re based in the office, we always have one slung on the backs of our chairs which we can don to meetings and industry events or throw on for after-work drinks (remember those?). They’re outfit saviours, and none come more versatile than the classic black blazer. Chances are you already own a black blazer, but when last did you wear it? If it’s been a while since you showed this old fashion faithful some love, we have just the thing to put the spice back into your relationship. We’ve tracked down eight fresh, autumn-ready black-blazer outfits for you to try, whether you’re dressing for date night, a sho...

These Iconic Boots Will Make Your Autumn Outfits Look Loads Cooler
Dr. Martens is the blueprint for the ultimate black stomper boots. The iconic shoe brand’s story starts from the beginning of the 1900s, but the 1460 boot style wasn’t created until 1960 during a time when there was a social revolution and dramatic cultural changes happening. While it was initially worn by factory workers, it was soon adopted by British youth culture, and it was famously worn by Pete Townshend of The Who. Later, it was adopted by those who loved grunge and nu-metal during the ’90s and early ’00s. And then during the ’00s, it really took off among the fashion crowd. The likes of Raf Simons and Marc Jacobs have collaborated with the brand, and today, at every fashion week, you’ll nearly always spot someone wea...
7 Stylish Bedroom Ideas That Are Easy to Re-Create
Remote working in some form or another remains a reality for many, and although it brings many benefits, it can have a huge impact on home life, making it hard to create a clear boundary between work and rest. The pandemic has also had a huge influence on sleep patterns, with factors such as new habits and routines and stress impacting how many hours people are sleeping. According to The Guardian, the national increase in poor sleep has been pronounced in women, going from 19% to 32%. While it might be tempting to take a Zoom meeting from bed (camera off, of course) or catch up on emails at 11 p.m., it is important to make your bedroom a place of rest and relaxation. This can be achieved with a no-technology rule or by making it a space you really look forward...
The Best No-VPL Underwear to Help You Wear This Year’s Boldest Fashion Trends
Visible panty lines (otherwise known as VPL) is something that many of us have tried hard to avoid over the years. While it seems unfathomable that in 2021, wearing underwear is still supposed to be a best-kept secret, there are an increasing number of fashion trends cropping up that do make a hidden panty line more desirable than ever before. This year in particular, we’re seeing a rise in cut-out dresses, fitted flares, and sheer trousers, and a pair of seamless pants can really elevate one of these sexy fashion trends. For some people, going commando is the obvious choice, but it’s not something that all of us are comfortable with, so what are our options? Well, we’ve done some research and rounded up our tried and tested favourites from a number of different brands, s...
19 Smart Trench Coats to Wear on Those Tricky Transitional Days
A classic, well-fitted trench coat is always a winner. Whether it’s camel-coloured, two-toned, faux leather, or cropped, a trench coat instantly makes you look and feel so much more put together. If you’re ready to invest in the perfect trench for the transitional autumn season, then hold off from opening one hundred shopping tabs, because we might have just found the perfect one for you. The trench coat first entered fashion history in the 19th century, and it’s up for grabs who was the true originator of the wardrobe classic. What is undisputed is that it’s a wholly British sartorial invention, but both luxury retailers Burberry and Aquascutum claim to have created the trench. The silhouette for the trench coat, however, can be credited to Scottish chemist Charles...

Stacey Dooley on Hair-Dye Disasters and Low-Maintenance Beauty Routines
How would you describe your relationship with beauty? It’s definitely an evolving relationship. The older you get, the more you realise that beauty is so much more than symmetry and perfection. That is, in fact, boring! And you begin to love what makes you different. If you had to leave the house in five minutes, what products would you use? [Laughing] When do I not have to leave the house in five minutes? I would reach for a dry shampoo—I love Sam McKnight’s Lazy Girl (£19)—and a good cleansing balm and muslin cloth. I really like The Cleansing Balm by Augustinus Bader (£55). Can you talk us through your skin routine, both morning and night, and the products that you use? You’re going to be underwhelmed [laughs]! I can’t pretend that I’m religious about routine, as there isn’t...
This High Street Jacket is So Good, I Almost Didn’t Share it With You
It’s not often that I’m stopped in my tracks by a jacket, but it happened only last week when I spotted an unbelievably chic style modelled by Insta trend-setter Bubbly Aquarius. I also couldn’t quite believe it when I saw that the jacket was from none other than high-street fave H&M so, naturally, I jumped on my emails to asked the brand’s PR to let me know as soon as the style hit the website. Well, I finally got the green light today, and can confirm that the jacket is finally available to buy. Coming in premium leather with a boxy silhouette and zip-up fastening, it’s essentially a modern update on the classic leather biker jacket. That being said, it also has definite ‘90s undertones, and I can totally imagine it worn with ripped ...
Mariah Carey’s Favourite Y2K Fashion Trend Has Fluttered Back Into Our Wardrobes
Fashion just can’t get enough of the biggest ’90s and Y2K trends, and neither can we. First, slip dresses returned with a vengeance, then strappy sandals became the unofficial shoe of summer, and now butterflies are making a major comeback. This sweet detail has recently been seen on Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, and Olivia Rodrigo. The Future Nostalgia singer wore a Versace dress featuring a crystal butterfly on the bodice at the 2021 Grammys that took over our timelines. Rodrigo has worn countless butterfly printed outfits while promoting her new album Sour (2021). And both Lipa and Hadid have been seen wearing Blumarine’s Y2K butterfly-themed collection for the 2022 resort season. Instagram’s style set has also given butterfly details the seal of approval, and the cute ...
