10 Outfits That Always Look Great With Birkenstocks
Years ago, Birkenstocks were very much considered fashion outliers. But over the past few years, they’ve exploded in popularity. After some extensive googling, I can confidently say that it was 2018 when the ultimate “ugly” sandals truly became accepted in fashion circles, which meant Birkenstocks suddenly started appearing everywhere. Of course, it’s more than that. There have been cool, high-profile collaborations with fashion brands such as Proenza Schouler and Rick Owens that have also piqued interest for insiders and shoppers alike. And during the pandemic, these shoes have become the most sought-after in the world. Global fashion shopping platform Lyst marked them out as the second most-searched-for item in 2020. Although the...
5 Hair Accessories Fashion People Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop Wearing
Shopping mindfully is becoming a priority for many of us. We know this to be the case from conversations in our Facebook group So… Should I Buy This? As such, instead of investing in a new dress or full-blown outfit every time we find ourselves in a wardrobe rut, we’re continuously on the lookout for small updates to refresh our looks. Perhaps the easiest update of them all is a well-chosen hair accessory. When it comes to hair accessories, it’s easy to gravitate towards what you know or pieces you may have tried in the past. Alice bands made a comeback a handful of seasons ago, bringing with them a dose of nostalgia that’s hard to resist, and they are still proving prevalent in fashion circles. That said, there is a host of other trendy hair accessories that have emerged si...

I’m Not a Fan of Eye Patches, But This Pair Really Works on Dark Circles
As a beauty editor, I’ve seen a lot of trends that have caused me to raise a cynical eyebrow over the years—including but not exclusive to LED masks, snail slime and cryotherapy. But one trend I’ve always been really dubious about is eye patches. I’m not the biggest fan of sheet masks anyway, so I kind of put eye patches in the same category. Sure, they might feel like a fun, self-care ritual, but I wouldn’t reach for them if I wanted an efficacious product that would create a noticeable change in my skin. Then I re-entered society, post-lockdown 2.0. With sunny days spent at the park with rosé, friends, more rosé and way less sleep than I’d been getting before, I was waking up post-weekend with puffy bags and dark circles under my eyes. Despite ...
5 Little Touches That Will Add Personality to Any Home
We are finally spending more time outside of the house, but that doesn’t mean our interest in interiors or home improvements has dwindled in any way. Whether you’re moving house or just looking to add some new touches to your already completed décor, below, we’ve found some amazing pieces at a range of price points that will add personality to any space. We find it’s often best to nod to interior trends via smaller, less permanent items. You can be daring with accessories, using them to add bold colours and prints into even the most neutral spaces. There are five categories, in particular, that we love for trending interior items: prints or wall art, statement vases, unique glassware, cushions and side lamps. When it comes to standout trend...
8 Summer Outfits to Throw On When You Just Can’t Think
Do you ever have those mornings when you just can’t think? If, like me, you’re not much of a morning person, then that might be the majority of them. Aside from making it easier to forget something at home or skip a part of my makeup routine, it also tends to make it a lot harder to put together an outfit—especially if I haven’t had my coffee yet. In order to combat this, I like to keep a mental registry of quick and simple looks I know will always work for me, made up of easy basics I already have hanging in my closet. For the summer months ahead, I’ve already found eight such looks I’ll be screenshotting and then committing to memory, all of which I have a feeling you’ll like too. To see what they are and, of course, shop them in case you’re missing any of t...
This Is the Best Skincare Routine for Menopausal Skin, According to Experts
Brown thinks it’s high-time that we started talking about menopause earlier too. “I think there’s a real drive within the menopause community to ensure that we’re talking to women in their early and mid-30s and that they get it, and that they understand that their hormones are actually a superpower. They’re brilliant and if you can harness them well then your menopause should actually be a positive experience,” says Brown. “At the moment, younger women don’t really want to hear about it, they’re frightened of it because it sounds horrid. But it doesn’t to be if we can reframe this mid-life stage. We know statistically that post-menopause, if you’ve been looked after properly, then you have this creative surge and you̵...

Zendaya Struts BET Awards Red Carpet In Beyoncé’s 2003 “Crazy In Love” Dress
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bennett Raglin / Getty Sunday night’s (June 27) 2021 BET Awards show was all about paying homage to the greats, especially for Zendaya’s very familiar red carpet dress once worn by Beyoncé many years ago. Buzzfeed chronicles the history of the original deep-plunging purple Versace dress, first worn in 2003 at the singer’s first-ever BET Awards show as a solo artist. If you remember, this is the seductive outfit worn during the legendary performance of her debut breakout single “Crazy In Love,” the first of many hits following her departure from the group Destiny’s Child. [embedded content] While Beyoncé’s original ensemble featured a short skirt to give room for her energetic dance routine on stage, Zendaya’s tribute leaned toward a classic red carp...
9 Accessories Londoners Are Embracing for Summer
Over the last few months at Who What Wear, we have started venturing back out into the world and documenting how real women are dressing post lockdown. Taking to the streets of east London’s Broadway Market, photographer Michaela Efford and I have spent numerous hours politely asking strangers if we can photograph the outfits they’ve chosen to wear on their morning coffee run, local park walk or casual lunchtime shop. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned from the experience it’s that British women have really, really good taste, particularly when it comes to accessories. Last month’s contingent of street stylers toted designer bags by the dozen, while this month’s stylish set also had a penchant for elevated accessories. Need some p...
Y2K Fashion Trends Are Dominating the Streets of Paris—Yes, Really
The photographed outfits were, much to my amazement, absolutely dripping in Y2K flashbacks. While we’re more than aware of this decade’s omnipresence among Gen Z and their social and shopping platforms of choice—TikTok, Depop—no one could have guessed that the streets of Paris would act as the backdrop to this retro trend in all its colourful and controversial glory. From low-rise trousers worn with tummy-baring tops to mesh fabrics, headscarves and cargo pants, there was very little on offer by way of more traditional French minimalism. Below, we chart the street style trends that lean heavily into the noughties and now have a very high fashion stamp of approval. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined wh...
