4 Joyful Prints That Are Putting a Smile on My Face
If you’re a die-hard minimalist, you might want to look away now. Or, you know, maybe not. After all, we all need a bit of visual stimulation every now and then, and when it comes to the land of prints, it doesn’t get much more stimulating than this season’s graphic heavy hitters. This ain’t your usual line-up of ditsy florals and polka dots, because 2021 has brought in the big guns with everything from psychedelic swirls and trippy waves to geometric checkerboard. This is unashamed sensory overload, but one we are more than happy to embrace after a year of beige knits and slippers. At the top of my wishlist is the checkerboard and the psychedelic swirl, both of which offer any outfit a personality-packed finish. I recently fell for a ...
This Serum Is Reversing My First Signs of Ageing—And You Can Get One for Free
Inspired by Kate’s in-clinic Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers, which are used to plump and lift skin, blur fine lines, and reduce the look of wrinkles, the KateCeuticals™ Firming Serum works to boost collagen production and oxygenate the skin for a smoother more luminous complexion. I’ve been busy testing out the KateCeuticals range, and I have to say that I’m incredibly impressed so far. First up, while appearances aren’t everything, this trio of products look so chic. The sleek grey packaging is a stylish addition to my bathroom, and the bottles and tub are just weighty enough to feel luxurious. As for the formulas themselves, the textures are beautiful—lightweight, non-greasy, and not at all cloying on the skin, like some anti-ageing products can be. I ...
Lesser-Known Beauty Brands I’m Certain Are Going to Big

Trust Me—These Will Be the Most Requested Hair Colours In Salons This Year
The truth is, while it might seem as though our hair has been put through the wringer, for most of us, the situation isn’t as bad as we think. In fact, several hairstylists I have spoken to this year have been surprised to find out that a lot of their clients’ hair is healthier than ever before. Why? Because we’ve been giving our strands a serious break. Less heat styling, colour treatments and bleach application, as well as many of us turning to nourishing at-home masks and serums mean that our hair is in a much stronger state than it was this time last year. And while we sadly didn’t get to live out our hair colour dreams this year, things are looking up for 2021. With salons re-opening in England today offering us all some much-needed hope that we can get back in salon chairs ...
Fashion Experts Are Wearing Trench Coats on Repeat Again—Here’s How
Like Breton tops or loafers, gold chains or blue button downs, trench coats are one of those staples items you automatically reach for at this time of the year. However, just because these clever items become almost mandatory in a woman’s wardrobe doesn’t make them exempt from having moments where they seem even more covetable than the month, season or year before. Just because a trench coat isn’t new or different or a trend doesn’t make it any less important this spring. In fact, fashion experts appear to be relishing the effortlessness a plain mac can bring to dressing and are therefore leaning on them once more for easy-but-effective outfit builds. This year’s trench coat wave isn’t full of gimmicks, restyling or re...
We Try Before You Buy: 6 Joyful Dresses We Really Love for Summer
Our We Try Before You Buy series aims to take the stress out of shopping and eliminate the number of post office visits you make each month to return failed online orders. We test new-season buys and styling ideas so you don’t have to. On the day the country begins to reopen, there is a new sense of optimism and finally a reason for us to dress up once again. Dresses had become redundant for many over the past 12 months—apart from those who took the bins out in ball gowns, of course. However with weddings rescheduled and restaurants back open, dresses are the joyful item we’re certain will end the loungewear era. Our We Try Before You Buy series sees us try on items to give a closer look at the pieces that we truly love and explain why we think they are worth it. As many plan the...
Priyanka Chopra’s Elegant Butterfly Gown at the BAFTAs Is Entirely Made From Recycled Materials
While most stars chose one immaculate outfit for the 2021 BAFTA Film Awards, Priyanka Chopra Jonas chose two. The first included a red floral jacquard jacket, and the second featured a stunning black butterfly Ronald van der Kemp set made from entirely recycled materials. Chopra Jonas’s BAFTAs 2021 wardrobe was handpicked by leading Hollywood stylist Law Roach. The first look was a red floral jacquard, open-bust jacket and white harem trousers, with a contrasting black waistband from Spanish designer Pertegaz’s autumn/winter 2021 collection. She paired the look with black Louboutin pointed-toe heels, black Wolford tights, and a Bulgari high jewellery, turquoise tassel necklace, with the brand’s Divas’ Dream rose gold earrings, and two Serpenti Viper rings. Her secon...
From L.A. to London, This Is What Our Editors Are Wearing This Spring
In the digital age, outfit inspiration can come from all avenues: from street style and Instagram to archival Getty searches. But sometimes you can’t beat the real deal, and by that we mean drawing ideas from those around us and the people we pass on the street. Luckily, working at an online fashion publication means there is no shortage of stylish individuals who inspire us (digitally anyway) on a daily basis. Not only that but with teams based everywhere from L.A. to London, Who What Wear is able to harness that unique eclecticism that comes from a global fashion perspective. While I can’t see my fellow editors IRL right now (sob), I’ll just have to appreciate their fabulous sense of s...
All the Looks You Need to See From the 2021 BAFTAs Red Carpet
There is no denying that awards season has looked very different over the last year. Celebrities à la Tracee Ellis Ross have posed alongside makeshift red carpets in their gardens, while Grammy winners such a Beyoncé and Taylor Swift have attended events wearing face masks to match their elaborate outfits. We’re all adjusting to this new normal, but celebrities are proving that while they may be taking part in virtual ceremonies and adhering to social distancing protocols, that doesn’t mean red carpet fashion has to be any less show-stopping. And today, the 2021 BAFTA awards further solidified this notion. Graced by a star-studded slew of celebrities who attended either virtually and in person at Royal Albert Hall, the BAFTAs provid...
BAFTA Film Awards 2021: The Best Dressed Celebrities of the Night
The 2021 BAFTA Film Awards red carpet looked a little different this year, with our favourite celebrities’ fashion choices coming from the red carpet and at-home, virtual photo shoots. Hosted by Edith Bowman and Dermot O’Leary, the presenters and nominees throughout the evening had us buzzing to get dressed up again by giving glimpses of sartorial selections that ranged from shimmering dresses to smart suits. Opening the red carpet was a lot of Louis Vuitton. Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Phoebe Dynevor, and Cynthia Erivo all wore stunning designs by the brand’s creative director Nicolas Ghesquière. We also noticed a few standout trends like metallic and sparkling, silver and gold dresses worn by Mbatha-Raw and Erivo; fringed details on Clara Amfo’s black suit, Sophie Cookson...
I Think These New H&M Items Will Go With So Many of Your Favourite Outfits

While we highlighted some of the latest trendier items recently, we wanted to focus next on those especially versatile items.

To showcase all of the items more, we cura...
