Choosing which colours to decorate your home with is probably the most important decision you’ll make with regard to your interiors. Like fashion, homeware aesthetics fade in and out of popularity, but as far as colour trends go, it pays to go with your gut and invest in the hues that make you happy and feel at ease in your space. This, however, doesn’t mean you have to opt for a wholly neutral palette. Bright colours might be what makes you tick, and that’s okay, especially at the moment, when many bright hues have made an impressive and stylish comeback on the interiors scene, providing us with a much-needed refresh from the cold, grey shades that dominated for the longest time. So if you’re looking to switch up your home with a new shade, or if you’re ...
You probably know this by now: Team Who What Wear loves a microtrend. We’re always keen to decode the runways in order to bring you a realistic line-up of the most influential looks you’ll want to incorporate into your own wardrobe each season (and autumn/winter 2021 is looking particularly tempting already) but there’s no denying the power of an up-and-coming item, styling idea, colour or detail that hasn’t yet hit the big time or been splashed all over the catwalks. Nothing says in-the-know quite like a niche trend, and we’re PHD-level hunters in this field. Our predictions ahead of summer were spot on: Key pieces we put bets on, such as fisherman sandals, floppy fabric hats and corsets, have not only spread far and wide on social media,...
What is behind our continued obsession with tie-dye? And when I say ‘our’, I mean everyone, not just the fashion crowd. While the trend might have exploded on the runways a few seasons ago (Dior, Proenza Schouler and Versace, to name a few), it wasn’t until we hit the first lockdown that the trend suddenly became the print du jour, with online global shopping platform Lyst reporting a huge increase in searches for the print last year. I think part of its appeal is to do with its roots—most recently in ’60s hippie culture and as such is associated with a more laid-back lifestyle. In a world where anxiety is, understandably, at an all-time high, tie-dye gives the impression of being more chilled out even when you probably aren’t. Personally,...
There’s a frustration here in the UK that there aren’t enough plus-size brands available, especially when it comes to more specialised categories like swimwear. Compared with the US, it seems that we Brits haven’t always had as good a range available, but things are beginning to change. Not only can you get plus-size brands shipped over from the States, but there are also (finally) more cool brands available in the UK. ASOS Curve has led the charge for some time now, and its bikinis and one-pieces are genuinely great. But thanks to the online retailer stocking plenty of other plus-size brands, there are even more options for you to consider. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Probably the most classic short hairstyle, a bob is a one-length cut that typically sits around jaw level. Although, it can be as short as ear length and as long as just above the shoulder. It’s a great place to start if you’re venturing into short hair for the first time. “There are so many bob variations with a style to suit everyone’s face shape,” said Barton. “Round faces should try to opt for a long bob that goes past the chin, [which is] also great for heart-shaped faces as well as heavy, chin-length bobs, which can balance out the face and look particularly great when worn tapered or with a side fringe. For long and oval face shapes, precise and blunt bobs are fantastic and enhance a strong jaw.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you ...
We all know that person. You know, the one who looks like they’re 20, but they’re actually 40 or 50. The person who looks youthfully preserved in time and doesn’t really seem to have changed in the years that you’ve known them. They probably get carded all the time. And all you want to ask them is for their exact beauty-and-skincare routine—and also maybe what kind of witchcraft and sorcery they’ve been doing to have such perfect skin. Listen, I know getting older is just a part of life. There’s no stopping it, but there’s also no shame in ageing, either. I always like to think of it as getting wiser and more comfortable with myself each year. But I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting to protect your...
If I had to choose one item of clothing to wear for the entirety of autumn 2021, it would have to be dungarees. Surprising, perhaps, given the fact that I usually err towards a more polished aesthetic with my outfits, however I cannot overstate the versatility of this one-piece wonder. Dungarees may have originally been created for workmen (complete with tool-holding bib), but these days they come in all shapes and sizes, and able to be styled in a plethora of ways.

Swedish-English singer Mabel confirmed her It girl status at the 2021 Love Island villa by wearing a sultry Mugler catsuit during her special performance. Following her win for Best Female Solo Artist at the 2020 BRIT Awards, it’s only fitting that the High Expectations singer wore the most sought-after designer of the summer for her Love Island debut. It’s no secret that Mugler’s fetishistic designs are in the midst of a renaissance. It all started when Cardi B wore the iconic Oyster dress from the brand’s autumn/winter 1995 collection to the 2019 Grammys, and then Kim Kardashian wore an archival Mugler wet-look dress to the 2019 Met Gala a few months later. The illusion catsuit worn by Mabel on Love Island looks to be from Mugler’s spring/summer 2021 collect...
As banal as it sounds, people watching is one of those small things that I really missed last year. Perhaps it’s a pastime that particularly lends itself to city living, but all I know is that there is such joy to be found in walking down the street or sitting on the Tube and taking in the personalities and outfits that pass me by. Of course, in a city like London, I am spoilt for choice when it comes to street style, and as bountiful as Instagram can be for outfit inspiration, you really can’t beat the immediate appeal of IRL style. Autumn fashion is one thing that, I believe, Londoners do particularly well—the warm-weather-dressing award will always be handed to a country with balmier climes—and so, as we look ahead to the coming ...
Hunting down the best T-shirt brands is like searching for the holy grail of fashion. Such is the importance of the quest for many fashion lovers. Here at Who What Wear, we’re always being asked where you can find perfect tees to add to your wardrobe staples. But first off, it’s worth reminding ourselves of the requirements that make an incredible T-shirt. For starters, they should fall just right—not too clingy and not too loose (unless you’re after the oversized look). Other factors include it being in a block colour (with the exception of the Breton) for maximum styling options. Our preferences are tees in black, white or grey—although other hues are acceptable as well. (Wild, we know.) You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates O...
We’ve done our best to keep it all together over the last year or so, but there’s no denying that our beauty routines sure have changed. For better or worse, we’ve been tasked with taking matters into our own hands when it comes to everything from chemical peels to hair colour. And while we’ve gotten pretty good at executing at-home gel manicures, too, we can’t help but think of how nice it could be to use this extra time away from prying eyes to give our nails some breathing room away from that perfect-looking but sometimes damaging cured lacquer. Fun fact: A number of nail polish brands have upped the ante by improving on their traditional nail polish formulas to look, feel, and perform more like gel, without the need to cure it...
We all love the impressive skincare ingredients listed in the formula. “It has some of my favourite ingredients like vitamin C, salicylic acid, and hyaluronic acid,” says Martins. These three ingredients help to give the skin a bright, even-toned and plump appearance. For Martins, the combination of coverage, skincare and SPF has made the foundation a go-to for her routine. The shade range, which is easy to pick from via the virtual try-on service, spans 42 shades across all complexions, making it simpler than ever to find the best match for you. “I usually have to blend a few colours to get the right shade for my complexion, so it’s time-saving not having to do that,” says Martins, who wears shade WN 122 Clove.
