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...
I’m Not a Fan of Eye Patches, But This Pair Really Work on Dark Circles
As a beauty editor, I’ve seen a lot of trends that have caused me to raise a cynical eyebrow at over the years—including, but not exclusive to, LED masks, snail slime and cryotherapy. But one that I’ve always been really dubious about is eye patches. I’m not the biggest fan of sheet masks anyway, so I kind 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 noticeable change in my skin. Then I re-entered society, post-lockdown 2.0. With sunny days spent at the park, 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 incorp...
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...
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...
