I’m a Modest Dresser, and This Is the Dress Trend I’ll Be Living In This Summer
Am I the only one who imagines I’m frolicking through a field of flowers when I put on a loose and flowy dress? No, just me? Anyways, when the cottagecore trend took over last summer, as a modest dresser, I was relieved. While I think second-skin dresses look fantastic on fashion girls everywhere, there’s something about a roomy dress that just gives a very ethereal feeling. The trend, filled with flowy frocks, has since become a fashion staple, especially in the spring and summer, with brands releasing varieties of breezy dresses with all sorts of patterns, colourways, and necklines. I don’t know about you, but I’ll most certainly be living in these kinds of dresses all summer. Not only are they stylish, but they’re also breathable and comforting f...
Trousers Are Trending—and These 9 Styles Look Seriously Cool
Numerous designers have played with this trouser shape. However, that isn’t the only alternative to jogging bottoms, jeans and leggings being presented to us for spring and summer. We also love the elevated knitted trousers (preferably in cream or lighter hues), the return of khaki trousers (very Rachel Green) and the black trousers that are dominating new-in sections right now. We are all about having the classic building blocks in your wardrobe here at Who What Wear, such as a great pair of black trousers or suit bottoms, so it’s worth paying attention to the gaps in your wardrobe when it comes to staple pieces. This spring, brands are also offering a more joyful approach to getting dressed, playing with bright colours and joyful prints, which is not only reflected...
7 Products That Always Make My Skin Glow In Summer
Hang in there everyone—a new season is on the horizon. Yes, the official start of summer is mere weeks away and while I’m trying not to get my hopes up about the potential mini heatwave that’s set to hit the UK next week it’s impossible not to feel everyone’s optimism levels soaring after a challenging start to the year. Of course, summer still might look a little different this year but with restrictions starting to ease here in the UK even the prospect of a local mini break is enough to get my heart fluttering right now. As a beauty editor, I’m a firm believer in it never being too soon to start thinking about how to tweak your beauty routine as the seasons shift—so I’ve already been prepping my bathroom cupboard and makeup bag for a bit of a summer overhau...
This Is 2021’s Answer to the Throw-On Dress
Twenty-twenty was the year that comfort became our first point of call when outfit-planning, and it was out of this that the throw-on-dress obsession emerged. While the style itself was not a new phenomenon, there was something particularly timely about the ease of styling and low-maintenance appeal that this piece offered the wearer. While summer 2021 is hopefully going to be a little more sociable (crosses all fingers), this craving for practicality hasn’t gone away, and instead, it’s morphed into the humble T-shirt-dress trend.

I Was a Diehard Dress Person Until I Saw These Summer-Ready Jumpsuits
I don’t like to pick favourites, but if I could only wear one item of clothing for the rest of my life, it would be a dress. Sure, I like jeans and skirts, but in my case anyway, they just don’t spark the same joy as a dress. Be they midis or minis, fitted or oversize, dresses make up a huge percentage of the clothes hanging in my wardrobe, and that’ll likely always be the case. Recently, however, I find my head is continually being turned by something other than a frock. Jumpsuits are one of those trends I never thought I could pull off. I’m petite, but that’s not the thing holding me back. I think it’s a combination of having a long torso and legs on the shorter side. Although I’m at peace with my physique, I always just assumed this imbalan...
6 Perfect Outfits to Wear in 20-Degree Weather
What should you wear when it’s neither completely boiling nor on the freezing side? This question is important to answer this week for a couple of reasons. Firstly, we’re no longer housebound all the time. And secondly, my weather app tells me that the temperature is going to go up a little more this week. Granted, the app isn’t always the most reliable but the thing is it can be a difficult climate to dress for, which is why it’s important to work out what to wear. Do you take a jacket with you? Can you wear sandals? Is time for boots? Throw in the additional issue of it raining all week and you’ve got yourself a game of sweat or water. As you can see, this gives us plenty of style questions to answer, which is why we decided to go hunt down some o...
Trust Me, These Are the Best Under-Eye Concealers to Help Disguise Dark Circles
Above, I briefly touched on the fact that my dark circles are a genetic trait, and for a huge number of fellow dark circle sufferers (constantly being told we look exhausted means that we do suffer), the case is the same. Thinner skin around the eyes and higher levels of pigmentation mean that unfortunately, some of us are simply born with dark circles and very little can be done about it. However, this isn’t to say that the appearance of dark circles can’t be worsened. In fact, those that don’t have a genetic predisposition to dark circles may, from time to time, suffer with them as a result of certain lifestyle choices. Miss Elizabeth Hawkes, consultant oculoplastic surgeon at Cadogan Clinic, says, “To help avoid dark circles, I advise you get enough sleep, stay hydrated, ...
I Love Dresses and Think These 9 Brands Are Worth Spending a Little Extra On
If I had to pick a mastermind topic, it would be dresses. They are the item I enjoy wearing the most, and writing about dresses is luckily part of my day job. With the UK slowly starting to reopen, many of us now have a reason to dress up again, whether it’s a rescheduled wedding or just an outdoor picnic in a park. If you are looking to invest in something special—a dress you know you’ll treasure summer after summer—below, I’m introducing you to the nine dress brands that I feature the most in my stories. These dresses are all over £200 and so require some careful consideration, but whether it’s down to quality or originality of design, I believe all of these dresses are worth spending a little extra on. You’ll find special, more formal dresses that you can wear to your f...
7 Basics That Are the Secret Behind All of My Interesting Outfits
Anyone who is a regular Who What Wear reader will know that I am a vintage fanatic, and while I will always champion the preloved cause, I also believe that to make our shopping habits more sustainable, we must also change the way we approach our preexisting clothes. By making your basics the centres of gravity, from a fashion perspective, you allow everything else to fall into place around them and, in turn, help create a cohesive whole. The result? A capsule that operates like a well-oiled machine and doesn’t rely on “newness” to feel fresh. This week, I’ve spent some time thinking about which items constitute my own basics capsule, and in the end, I came up with seven pieces that never let me down. I’ve styled each one to show you ...
5 Table-Setting Ideas That Will Make You the Very Best Host
Over the past year many of us spent more time thinking about how we dress our tables than how we dress ourselves. At the start of the first lockdown, Laura Jackson started a movement called #makeamealofit, where she encouraged us all to cherish dinner time, whether we were isolating alone, with friends or with family. It was all about making our evening meals an event to look forward to at the end of the day—taking the time to put down our phones (after taking a tablescape picture, of course), eating something delicious and bringing out those plates or wine that you’d usually only save for fancy occasions. It’s one lockdown tradition we’d quite like to hold onto, especially now we can start hosting once again. Over the past year pictures of beaches and brun...
The 50-Something Instagrammer With Better Style Than All of Us Put Together
Instagram isn’t just a space for 20-something DJ-slash–fashion bloggers anymore, as there are countless influencers over 40 who are just as influential. Style is now finally truly recognised as being ageless, and 50-something Instagrammer Grece Ghanem shows that whatever decade you were born in, you can pull off neon trousers and zebra mesh tops. Grece might dress like she’s on the front row at fashion week every single day, but her day job hasn’t always been in the fashion industry—she’s a personal trainer based in Montréal. Grece has a real ability to make intimidating trends look timeless and wears bright colours and animal print better than anyone else I follow. Her look revolves around colourful knits, wide-leg statement trousers, mesh printed tops and ple...
