30 New Summer Zara Items Destined to Sell Out
It’s my job as a shopping editor to keep on top of the latest pieces that are dropping in stores, be it the lofty heights of Net-a-Porter or the affordable appeal of the great British high street. Zara is, and has always been, a highlight when it comes to looking for premium-feel pieces that won’t break the bank, and over the years, I’ve found myself treasuring countless items that I unearthed at the store. The key to shopping Zara is selecting styles that you could see yourself wearing in five years’ time rather than trends that will age within 12 months. I spent the afternoon having a little scroll through Zara’s new-in summer drop, and I have to say it’s full of stylish pieces that will truly stan...
Kate Middleton Just Wore Another Piece We Can’t Believe She Found in Zara
If you’re a regular reader of Who What Wear, you’re probably well acquainted with Kate Middleton‘s wardrobe. She dresses pretty classically, but occasionally she’ll surprise us with something a bit different (case in point: this chic outfit with Warehouse and Chanel). The list of the designers she often turns to is pretty definite: often Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham and occasionally Erdem, Emilia Wickstead and Roksanda. But it’s not just the more expensive end of the spectrum she’s a fan of. She regularly wears high-street pieces from a range of brands, from Superga sneakers to & Other Stories dresses. But, and I’m going to put my stake in the ground here, her favourite store has to be Zara. For years she’s worn pieces from th...
Angelina Jolie’s Dress-and-Sandals Combo Is So Simple Yet Oddly Perfect
Queen of minimalist street style Angelina Jolie strikes again, folks. This time, her location is New York City, and her outfit involves a dress, and it’s the most classic summer dress style you can wear. She opted for a lightweight white midi style with wide straps and a tie at the waist. The only other thing she needed was a pair of sandals. She opted for a pair of low-heel tan slides that are the perfect complement to a white dress. As usual, she kept the rest of her accessories minimal with just a shoulder bag and a watch. We’d be hard-pressed to name one dress style that’s more crucial for summer than a casual white dress. It’s one of the breeziest, prettiest things you can wear, and it will never go out of style. Just look at Jolie—this photo cou...
These Are the Only 7 Products That Have Helped My Hyperpigmentation
Adding specific acids into my routine too was a game-changing move for my skin—the right combination faded the hyperpigmentation, plumped the appearance of my skin and evened out the tone. In the past, when acid-based products used terms like brightening, I was always wary of them mainly because of the prevalence of skin-lightening products aimed at Black women that use similar terminology. However, having spoken to many medical professionals and skin experts who have filled me in on what specific acids do and what they’re good for, I now feel more confident incorporating them into my skincare routine, and I haven’t looked back since. “If we look at brightening agents, there are alpha-hydroxy acids (aka AHAs) like kojic acid, lactic acid and mandelic a...
13 Items Rachel Stevens Has Convinced Me to Buy
I have the Who What Wear Facebook group So… Should I Buy This? to blame for getting me hooked on Rachel Stevens’s style. The former member of S Club 7 has been on Instagram for some time but one of our readers and followers of SSIBT wanted to know more about her style. Upon further investigation, I realised we’ve been overlooking Stevens’s sense of fashion. Her IG is full of fantastic accessible looks, from great suits to pretty dresses paired with sneakers and denim jackets. Her style is best described as classic, and she often goes for mixing high street with designer. The truth is that while her style might not be edgy, they’re the kind of outfits that are easy to put together. I’ve worked out a number of chic pieces that she has in he...
21 Graphic Tees That Are Anything But Basic
For anyone who has studied Who What Wear’s spring 2021 trend report—if not, you can remedy the situation here—you’ll know that rediscovering the joy of getting dressed was at the heart of this season’s collections and manifested in everything from feel-good prints and fantasy frocks to paintbox brights and playful cut-outs. The graphic tee? I like to think of it as one of the more democratic ways to inject a little dopamine into your summer dressing, but you’ll be happy to hear that these could not be further from the Groovy Chick iterations of your teens. (Although, I’m sure there’s a corner of TikTok where those are cool again.) You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Onl...

This Affordable Brand Has Created the Coolest Summer Capsule
Boho is a trend that never truly goes away; though, it always feels most at home during the warmer months. A potent blend of premium-looking prints set against ethereal fabrications paired alongside timeless denim and sharp tailoring, fashion types make the bohemian vibe seem effortless. In reality, however, every piece needs to be considered thoroughly. Veer too retro and you’ll run the risk of looking like you’re going to a fancy dress party. Play it too safe and your ensemble won’t pack the sartorial punch that you were hoping for. Thankfully, there’s a new collection that makes mastering the art of bohemian styling so much easier. Next has always been on our radar for its classic wardrobe staples, impressive shoe line-up and next-level jeans offer...
I Went Street Style–Spotting in London—These Are the Summer Outfits I Loved
Although the weather at this time of the year might not be the most reliable, you can always depend on Brits to dress the part and bring the summer aesthetic with them in spite of the daily forecast. Earlier this month, photographer Michaela Efford and I took to the streets of East London in search of the best outfits we could find. And despite the Met Office app’s forewarning for grey skies, we still managed to track down several looks that absolutely epitomised summer and can help us all segue into the warm days we’re wishing for. From floral-printed shorts suits to breezy linen trousers and voluminous minidresses, Londoners are definitely not letting a few clouds get in the way of perfecting their summer style.&nbs...
This 61-Year-Old Shoe Brand Is Set for Another Comeback
While the chaos of our world is leaving us with a sense of uncertainty, it looks like fashion people are staying firmly planted in the ground this summer. Quite literally. As season’s annual cues mark the beginning of the warmer months (gardens blooming and sunlight returning to our daily lives), when it comes to our shoe trends, we’re staying put. Last winter saw the proliferation of the chunky boot trend, while cult Scandi brand Ganni put practicality and utility at the core of its collection. With “outdoorsy athleisure” predicted to remain a key trend for the coming seasons, we’re beginning to see the evolution of the practical fashion trend continue into summer. We’re anticipating that this need to an...
20 Warm-Weather Staples I’ve Added to My Net-a-Porter Wish List This Summer
I may not be the biggest fan of traditional summer dressing, but if you’re looking for a concise edit of summer staples with a tailored edge, allow me to point you in the direction of NET-A-PORTER’s Warm Weather Essentials edit. Trust me on this one. Packed full of clean-lined separates and timeless accessories, the collection is a welcome relief to those of us who don’t usually invest in florals when the mercury rises.

Phew. So much goodness, so little time. To save you ti...
