7 Stylish Outfits to Wear to the Pub That Don’t Look OTT
After months of blank diary pages, chances are your social calendar is now filling up with catch-ups with friends, which are, most likely, going to be held at the pub. Gone are the days when you could simply drop in and grab a table—demand for pub seats is at an all-time high, with many requiring reservations, just like restaurants. Sure, this requires a little more thought and preparation on your part, but it’s worth it to finally sip on your favourite tipple out of your own home surrounded by your pals. Still, after putting all that energy into securing your table, perhaps you’re in need of some assistance deciding what to wear to the pub. Naturally, that’s where we come in. Just because you don’t require a ballgown and elbow-length gloves doesn’t mean you c...
According to TikTok, These Are the Only Spring Trends That Matter
Here at Who What Wear, we’re always giving you the latest scoop on what’s trending on the fashion front of social media. In the past year, we’ve taken many deep dives into the world of TikTok, from testing out viral beauty tips to documenting the app’s go-to fashion-girl aesthetic. I should probably be spending less time on the app, but in the name of journalism, I scrolled through my feed to pinpoint the trends that the coolest digital creators are incorporating into their outfits. Not only am I inspired to take my spring wardrobe to a whole new level (I need a confidence course from these girls ASAP), but I’ve also rounded up my top eight for you to check out below. As with everything else I’ve seen on fashion TikTok, the tren...
9 Hairstyles People Are Actually Asking for in Salons Right Now
It’s official: Hair salons are back open for business across the UK and hairdressers are busier than ever. Yes, after many months of neglect (with the occasional at-home haircut or colour thrown in for good measure), many of us are desperate to get back into the hair salon to let the professionals take care of our strands. But with my own hair appointment booked in for next week, I have to admit that I”m suddenly feeling a little overwhelmed. There’s a lot of pressure in a return-to-salon haircut: should I go for a full-on transformation and get my hair chopped into shorter bob or embrace my current mid-length hairstyle by adding some fresh layers? There are so many hair possibilities to choose from and I know that friends and family are feeling equally confused. So who b...
I Just Found a Sustainable Fashion Brand That I Can Actually Afford
With accessories starting at £15 and ready-to-wear pieces from £55, the brand roughly sits in the same price category as the likes of & Other Stories, Whistles and Arket. I was instantly sold on the brand’s nostalgic take on wardrobe basics, which included cropped-flare dungarees, ruffle collar blouses and high-waisted denim. I was kindly sent a pair of the brand’s Suki Dungarees and have been wearing them constantly with both ribbed roll necks and collared blouses. Seventy + Mochi is dedicated to producing its collections out of recycled materials in limited quantities at its own facilities and selling direct to customers to ensure minimal impact on the planet. The brand is also part of the Jeans Redesign Project, an initiative launched by th...
6 Jeans-and-Shoe Pairings That Go Together Every Time
We all know how versatile a pair of jeans can be. After all, what other garment can take you from date night to weekend with the same stylish flair and universal appeal? However, their ease is often dependent on another item: footwear. Shoes have the power to instantly change the mood of your jeans. For example, for a formal occasion, a pair of bejewelled flats will elevate your classic blues to glamorous new heights. Similarly, ballet pumps will add polish to ripped or frayed-hem jeans—simply add a tailored blazer and a button-down, and you’ve got yourself a chic ensemble. So which shoes would I recommend wearing with jeans? I’m glad you asked. I’ve whittled down the shoes to wear with jeans that I truly believe work for just about every occasion you can t...

I Only Use Low-Maintenance Makeup, and My Current Routine Only Costs £97
I am far from a makeup lover. While other beauty journalists play with eye shadow palettes, foundations and liners for hours on end in order to refine technique and help narrow down the best formulas around, the very sight of a new makeup product fills me with dread. While I appreciate the wonders of makeup, the sheer volume of products, combined with the fact I’m not very good at applying the stuff, makes me feel totally overwhelmed. Because of this, my makeup collection consists solely of products that are incredibly easy to use. For the most part, I like to be able to apply my makeup with my hands. In order to achieve glowing, convincing results, such products require clever, unique formulas. And such formulas typically come at a price. As a result, for as...
How Slow Fashion Is Going to Impact How We Dress
While it sounds kind of daunting, putting the concepts of slow fashion into practice is pretty simple. For example, Firth suggests adopting Eco-Age’s #30Wears campaign that implements a deeper thought process while shopping. “Rather than concentrating on which brand is good or bad,” says Firth, “why don’t you just stop and think for a second ahead of buying anything and ask yourself if you will wear it a minimum 30 times? If the answer is yes, then go ahead. But you will be surprised how many times the answer is no.” Lauren agrees and she offers some useful tips: “Try and think of a few new ways to style your wardrobe that you’ve not done before, breathe new life into what you already have. When you feel the moment has come to buy something new, take a little bit more time to do ...
17 Outfit Ideas I Have Really Loved This Week
There’s nothing quite like the inexplicable satisfaction of a really good outfit. Sometimes it can be hard to put your finger on what it is exactly that makes something work: It could be a clever colour combination, an unexpected silhouette, or even a subtle trim on a pair of trousers. As a fashion editor, it is my job to keep an eye out for these winning ensembles. It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. We even have a channel on Slack that is literally dedicated to great outfits, and boy, are there plenty to choose from. This story is essentially a line-up of all the fabulous outfits that have been given the Slack-channel seal of approval. I find that the looks that stand out to me are often relatively simple in composition ...
Trust Me—These 23 Short Haircuts Require Barely Any Upkeep
One of the most common misconceptions about short hair is how time-consuming the styling and upkeep can be. Turns out it’s a myth as old as time, and we’re here to put an end to it. Just like some long hairstyles can look lifeless when not styled, so too can shorter hair. But opting for a shorter style doesn’t mean you’ll be glued to your stylist’s chair every week. In fact, the right short haircut for you will depend a lot on your texture, the condition of your hair and your lifestyle. For instance, if you have very curly hair, then opting for a sleek bob will require a lot of heat and therefore way more in-salon treatments to repair and restore your strands. “Every head of hair is different, so it’s important to have a thorough consultation with y...
8 Easy-to-Copy Outfit Ideas to Try This Spring
Emerging into the real world this spring has, for all of us, been quite an experience. Sunny pub gardens and reuniting with friends in parks has been heavenly, but remembering how to get dressed for such outings has been— dare we say it— difficult. That’s also been the case for us whose job it is to know how to dress, so don’t feel too bad when you’re drawing a blank in front of your current wardrobe. We often turn to brands for outfit inspiration at the beginning of each season, but this spring it’s been an essential trick for discovering fresh styling ideas. It’s helped to remind us what goes with what (outside of a two-piece tracksuit), but also of our love of fashion, the joy of experimenting and creating new looks with the staples we already own. And one of our favourite b...
The 5 Spring Shoe Styles the Olsens Always Rely On
I have a confession to make: I’m borderline obsessed with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It’s not to the point where I know their birthday or Starbucks order by heart—more like a healthy, top-line sort of obsession. Being similar ages to the twins, I, quite literally, grew up with them on my television screen, and without an older sister of my own to look up to, I found myself taking cues from the duo. They were cool, funny, intelligent, and stylish, and unlike a real-life sibling scenario, they didn’t get mad when I shamelessly copied them. As a tween, I remember trying to re-create the looks from their latest films in Tammy Girl. Thankfully, I no longer have a penchant for adhesive glitter or high-low dresses with sheer layers—nor, of course, do Mary-Kate and Ashley. ...
