7 Cardigan Outfits I’ll Unashamedly Wear on Repeat This Autumn
It’s funny to think that just a few years ago, wearing a cardigan wouldn’t have crossed your mind. In fact, the only time I really wore them was when I’d visit my granny, and she’d insist I pop one on “in case I got a chill.” Fast-forward to 2021, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that I wear a cardigan outfit every single day—and I’m not the only one. Having been affectionately adopted by fashion types, cardigans are now a bona fide wardrobe staple and generally considered to be a classic autumn item. You’ll always use it since it will never go out of style. I’ve come to notice as well that when you want to be comfortable and cosy, a cardigan has more of that “I still tried” factor than a basic jumper. I also think cardigan...
J.Lo’s Outfit for Date Night With Ben Is Perfect If You’re Over Skinny Jeans
How does Jennifer Lopez dress for a date night in Los Angeles? Well, for dinner with Ben Affleck at celebrity-favourite restaurant Craig’s, she kept it sleek and simple in a slim-fit tank top, high-waisted, wide-leg trousers, and some designer jewellery. (Oh, and don’t forget her best accessory of all: her ripped arms.) Wide-leg trousers are a fun trend to experiment with if you’ve been wearing your go-to skinny jeans to shreds lately. The pants are super comfortable and easy to wear yet look a lot more polished than denim, making them perfect for date night. Scroll down to see Jennifer Lopez’s new outfit, and shop similar pieces for yourself. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating s...
These 12 Mascaras Actually Make Short Lashes Look Longer
My eyelashes and I have always had a bit of a rocky relationship since I first got into makeup around age 15. I wouldn’t say my eyelashes are straight, but they are pretty short—and sometimes they look practically non-existent, which really isn’t ideal as someone who thinks that mascara really complements the colourful eye looks that I love to do. I’ve flirted with the idea of getting a lash-lift, but the fact that they aren’t permanent combined with a slight fear of my lashes becoming damaged means I’ve never gone much further than scrolling through other people’s experiences over on TikTok. However, over the past few years, I’ve made it my mission to find mascaras and other lash products to help make my short lashes look longer, and thankfully, through a lot...
Weird But True: Doing This 5-Minute Ritual Kind of Changed the Shape of My Face
There are plenty of bogus beauty devices out there, and I’ve tried a lot of them (due to my line of work, obviously, and if I’m being honest, some vanity). In an age when many of us crave quick fixes in the name of beauty, gadgets and gizmos aplenty can be tempting. Many of said gadgets and gizmos purport high-scale anti-ageing benefits or instantaneous firming perks, but the thing is most of them are flukes, and the majority definitely aren’t worth your hard-earned cash. Face-massaging and skin-tightening tools, in particular, are having a big moment right now, and while the latter are usually pretty high-tech, the former are typically lower-lift when it comes to usage and maintenance. That said, just because they’re lower-tech do...
The 7 Brands Fashion Insiders Always Turn to for High-Street Tailoring
Tailoring is one of those wardrobe categories that, historically, fashion editors have tended to buy from designers. After all, it very much falls under the staple umbrella, and if you buy a good blazer, you’re likely to keep it for many years to come. Yes, to a certain degree, you will get higher quality when you go to some pricer specialist brands, but if we’re being realistic, this isn’t a feasible option for most people. Thankfully, the high street‘s offering has improved immeasurably over the last decade, and there are countless brands that have addressed the gap in the market for well-made, timeless tailoring that won’t break the bank. My own wardrobe is interspersed with blazers and smart trousers from the likes of Arket an...
5 Outfits That Our Editors Have Loved Wearing This Month
The concept of this new article series is simple: We love to get dressed, and we know that you can’t get enough new-season outfit inspiration, so we wanted to combine the two and bring you a weekly update of what my fellow editors and I have been wearing in our day-to-day lives. Now that our company no longer has a traditional 9-to-5 office set-up and, as a team, we are pretty spread out across the country (from East London to Sheffield), no one day looks the same for us. However, we each have found our own ways to adapt our personal wardrobes to this new normal. From wedding guest looks and WFH pairings to elevated dinner separates or brunch-ready casual, we hope our outfit lineup brings you all the sartorial inspiration yo...
I Looked Through Every High-Street Store to Find 32 of the Best Knitwear Pieces
There’s no doubt that this summer has lacked a certain oomph. From the dismal weather (except for those three days of sunshine) to extortionate holiday prices in the UK, I think I can speak for everyone when I say good riddance, British summer. While I haven’t had as much wear out of my Arizona Love leopard-print sandals as I would have liked, there’s a bright fashion spot on the horizon: knitwear. And what an offering there is already available to us on the high street. If you’re a regular reader of Who What Wear, you’ll know that we’ve already pegged this Arket Breton sweater as being a front runner for one of the major pieces of knitwear for the season. But there are oh so many more jumpers, cardigans and vests that we need to bri...
I’m a Knitted Vest Fan, and These Are the Outfits I Want to Try This Autumn
Reminiscent of stuffy professors, teen movie nerds and, of course, Chandler from Friends, the sweater vest is the jumper trend that has won the hearts of fashion girls this season. Historically, it was one of those items of clothing that was synonymous with ‘uncool’ individuals, but it’s fair to say the last 12 months has been a celebration of all things frumpy, with editors and influencers alike embracing the quirky appeal of homely knitwear and practical shoes. I have well and truly fallen for the sweater vest this season, and I was kindly given a cream oversized iteration from H&M last winter and have worn it constantly over white shirts and cream roll-necks. It’s a true layering hero. Pers...
I Just Tried on the Mango Outfit Everyone’s Hyped About
The whole Who What Wear UK team is in research mode ahead of autumn, and as such, there’s a great deal of digital chatter over key items we’re bookmarking. The same few pieces have come up in conversation over and over again during the past few weeks: the £50 Marks and Spencer knee-high boots we can’t believe are high-street, a quilted jacket from The Frankie Shop that has sold-out status already, the COS dress that works perfectly from summer to autumn and finally, a very chic-looking instant outfit from Mango… We’re no strangers to Mango’s knitwear. In fact, I’ve spoken about how good its jumpers, cardigans and knitted dresses can be. But there’s a new addition to this category that looks particularly ...
Of All the Cool Trends Out There, These Are the 11 Celebrities Actually Wear
With an access-all-areas pass to the coolest, newest and most in-demand items in fashion, celebrities don’t just follow trends; they have the power to spark them on a level not even the runways can muster. And while we’ve missed out on the red carpet looks that we usually see the stars wearing for glittering award shows and premieres, we don’t feel short-changed. In fact, we think the most exciting celebrity looks always come from their downtime—when they’re running errands in NYC, stopping for a caffeine fix during a stroll in London or simply checking in with their Instagram followings, showing off their outfits in the process. And this year, there have been lots of impressive outfits at that. As recently as just last week, celebrities have been out in f...
Everyone Always Asks Me About My Dresses—These 36 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 ...
This Is Why French Girls Always Have the Best Fringes
I’ve made no secret of my obsession with French-girl hair. There’s just something effortlessly chic about the strands of our continental fashion friends that I can only ever hope to replicate with my own five-minute work hairstyles. However, I think there’s one style in particular that French girls lead the way in above all others: the fringe. A tricky thing to get right, fringes are notorious for being both high maintenance (in terms of regular trims and hair washing) and difficult to pull off. French women, however, seem to have discovered the perfect fringe formula, and trust me—it looks good every single time. 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. Get to mee...
