4 Ways To Wear Denim Shorts This Summer and Still Feel Polished
For some reason, denim shorts have, to my mind, always been synonymous with a certain youthful brand of dressing. I imagine face-painted, festival-going teens in barely there cut-offs and crop tops or high-waisted styles thrown over itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny bikinis. They were not, however, something I associated with polished dressing. Until now. While one of the key selling points of denim has always been its hard-wearing credentials and casual appeal, there’s been a cohort of fashion lovers embracing an altogether more polished finish this season. The most obvious point of difference seems to be the length, and many have been championing a longer style that sits high on the waist and ends mid-thigh. The effect is&...
The Random Fabric That Is Dominating This Summer
While we love a niche trend here at Who What Wear, we have to say that we definitely didn’t see this year’s terry towelling (or terrycloth) trend coming. Thanks to its super-absorbency, the fabric has historically been used for everyday sportswear and accessories, but after it was spotted on the spring/summer 2021 runways of Bottega Veneta and The Row, we knew that it was destined for cult status.

So This Is Where Everyone’s Getting Their Gorgeous Summer Dresses From
Why is it that I have a terrible memory when it comes to people’s names and dates of significant events but can remember the exact dress my second cousin wore to my other second cousin’s wedding six years ago? If that’s not an important life skill, I don’t know what is. Joking aside, my photographic fashion memory, naturally, comes in very handy for my job. As soon as I see something that piques my interest, be it shoes, a bag or, indeed, a dress, I archive it away in my mind for future reference. It sits there until it can be transformed into an interesting feature for Who What Wear. Today, I’m ready to share my most recent observation with you. A few weeks ago, I spotted chic French influencer Léna Farl wearing a beautiful printed dress from Yolke. I’ve known about the Brit bra...
Hand on Heart, These 19 Marks and Spencer Sandals Genuinely Look Designer
As someone who’s between sizes and has wide feet, it’s always been hard for me to find shoes that are actually comfortable and that I can wear on repeat. That was until I discovered that M&S has shoe styles that cater to both of my footwear needs. Now, I’ll sing the praises of the brand’s shoes to anyone who’ll listen or, in this case, read. This summer, more and more people seem to be coming round to the M&S sandal way of thinking. Of course, we’ve already charted the rise of its leather flip-flops, which provide an affordable alternative to the sell-out The Row pair. Miraculously, they’re still in stock in all three colourways, so I’ve included them in my edit for you below. However, Marks and Spencer is no one-trick pony when...
I Am Introduced to 1000s of New Brands Every Month, But These Ones Stand Out
I’m sure that there are many jobs where an influx of approximately 500 emails per day is totally normal. But rather than ever feeling confident enough to bulk-delete without regret, there are countless messages I need to check in on because staying ahead of trends, launches and, particularly, cool brands is something of a prerequisite for my role. I’m am contacted by countless designers, brand founders, PRs and marketing execs on a daily basis via every possible platform, and I try my best to support brands that show a point of difference, beautifully made products and interesting stories. Not every label makes the cut, and the task of literal “editing” between what I deem worthy of your attention or not can be a brutal one. In this new mont...
I Love French-Girl Style, so I Catalogued the 11 Trends They’re Especially Into
We know, dear readers, you’re into what the stylish ladies over in France are wearing, and so am I. French girls have it down: Their style is effortlessly cool, basic but not boring, and unconventional yet refined, which is why we look to them on the regular for style inspiration. French girls are constantly setting new trend precedents and mixing some expected basics with other complete wild cards. Accordingly, I’ve meticulously combed through the Instagram accounts of some of our favourite stylish ladies to see what trends they are unveiling next, and let me tell you—they are good. From ’70s-inspired “granny” sunglasses and the new cool-girl button-down shirt to collared cardigans, French girls are serving some serious styl...
There Are 4277 Items in the H&M Sale—These Are the 20 Staples I’m Bookmarking
If you haven’t already noticed, the summer sale season is underway, and H&M is the latest brand to drop its discounts.

Forget Frills—This Is How Minimalists Do Wedding Guest Outfits
Wedding guest outfits can often feel repetitive. Lace, pastel tones and midi dresses are commonplace on the ceremony circuit. Even we find it hard to catch a break from the monotony, and it’s literally our job to hunt down the most interesting alternatives. So imagine how difficult it can be to navigate the nuptial style waters when you’re a minimalist to boot. Dressing for summer with a simplistic aesthetic is no small feat (it is the season of statement prints and fanciful silhouettes, after all), but throw occasionwear into the equation and it’s even more of a minefield. Finding the perfect look isn’t impossible. It does, however, require a bit of ingenuity. For inspiration, we turned to some of our favourite influencers to find the best minimalist wedding guest ...
The 8 Alternatives I Go to When I Don’t Want to Wear Jeans
Okay, before we get into it, we would just like to reiterate the following: We love jeans. We love wearing jeans. But it is possible to have too much of a good thing, and that’s sometimes the way we feel about them, particularly during summer, when there are a host of other options at your disposal. While we’re by no way suggesting that you should turn your back on jeans for good, we are here to show you the denim-outfit alternatives you can wear in their place. We’ve carefully chosen eight outfits which we think all jeans wearers will love but that’ll give you a temporary break from denim. Placing pause on skirts and dresses for a brief second, we’ve stuck to ensembles of the trouser and shorts variety so it doesn’t f...
13 Summer Outfits We Love for All Kinds of Weather
I don’t know about you, but all I can think about is summer. If, like me, you are dreaming of afternoons in beer gardens and summer parties with friends, then you might already be searching for the perfect summer outfits for our return to socialising with fewer restrictions. I bought a pair of sandals and a summer cotton dress within hours of the proposal for a more free summer and have been looking for outfit ideas ever since. Sometimes, summer outfits need to be straightforward and simple to assemble, with just the flourish of a key accessory or subtle injection of a new styling move, and sometimes—because the UK’s climate is so unpredictable—the layering and construction will be more demanding. We’ve supplied the more advanced levels, of course. Remember, if ...
