Jennifer Lawrence Wore the Most Low-Key Trouser Trend With a Crop Top
Even though Jennifer Lawrence wears mostly designer items every time she leaves the house (I can’t blame her), her actual outfit formulas are always pretty accessible. She sticks to basics like jeans, T-shirts, slip skirts, printed dresses, and, of course, sneakers. Lawrence was photographed walking around Manhattan with her husband over the weekend wearing several of the aforementioned items, and it has instantly given us an idea to take into the summer months. As you know, crop tops continue to be popular after many years in the spotlight, but pairing them with low-rise jeans can be a little scary for some, myself included. Lawrence wore pretty much the opposite of that cut and opted for a pair of high-waisted, pleated, and loose pants from T...
10 Dress-and-Sandal Outfits For When the Sun Finally Makes An Appearance
But, in the meantime, I’ll just have to make-do with my imagination and the escapist capabilities of online window shopping. And of course, NET-A-PORTER is the first place I’ll head. After 12 months of tracksuit bottoms and shearling slippers, I’ll take any excuse to slip on a dress and fancy sandals, so these are what are primarily making up my current wishlist. I typically like to balance out formal silhouettes with more casual styles, so my dream outfit line-up is an eclectic mix of paint box brights paired with classic tan sandals, clean-cut linen minis elevated with wedge heels and ditzy florals balanced-out by raffia mules. The brands at the top of my wishlist include Rejina Pyo, that can always be relied ...
These Oversize Dresses Are the Coolest Thing You’ll Wear This Summer
The oversize look is slowly but surely becoming one of those era-defining fashion trends that we’re sure to remember for years to come, with all tastes and body shapes discovering the comfy cool-girl appeal of roomier silhouettes, be that in the form of shirts, jeans or dresses. “I feel like Vetements really paved the way for the oversize look,” muses celeb stylist Aimée Croysdill. “It was a real moment that has been picked up as a solid trend, and I hope it never goes away.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

10 Perfumes That Beauty Insiders Agree Are the Best of the Best
While there’s genuinely nothing I love more than sharing my favourite beauty finds with people—whether that’s through my writing here or in a flurry of WhatsApp messages with friends seeking a new moisturiser—I can’t deny that recommending a product always makes me feel a bit jittery. After all, I’m lucky enough to be sent lots of products to try as part of my job and while I’d never advocate for anything that I didn’t genuinely think was great, suggesting that somebody actually parts with their hard-earned cash to buy it always makes me nervous. Because, let’s face it, beauty is incredibly personal. A certain cleanser that I’ve said is brilliant at soothing breakouts might truly work, but if my best friend only likes crea...
14 French Beauty Brands I Know You’ll Love as Much as I Do
Of course, you’ll already know of and have probably used products from the big French beauty brands—Chanel, Givenchy, Lancôme, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, to name a few—but let’s put those to one side for a second. I’m talking about the brands that truly epitomise French beauty; the ones you’ll find in small pharmacies. A good skincare regimen is integral to French women; generally speaking, they tend to apply their makeup delicately, so clear skin is a must. This is perhaps why there are many excellent skincare brands to choose from over there—not all of which will bankrupt you either. You’ll find these in my edit, as well as some less-is-more makeup brands that have that certain je ne sais quoi. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking fo...
From M&S to Mango, These Are the 19 Affordable Summer Sandals I Rate
I’m lodging a complaint with whoever is in charge of the summer weather because the rain is now officially Out of Hand™. After the past couple of weeks of pretty much nonstop pouring, I’m now frustrated that I’m unable to wear the sandals I had planned for the foreseeable months. While there’s little I can do, I’ve decided that I’m going to dress for the weather we deserve and not the weather we have, which means eyeing up all the affordable sandals that are around right now. Although I’m going to talk you through my favourite inexpensive pairs, make no mistake—these don’t look cheap. All the high-street and luxe-looking sandals I’ve found could be mistaken for designer pairs. Know that most lean toward the flatfo...
I Have Over 20 Pairs of Jeans, But I Didn’t See This Trend Coming
I really love jeans. While I’m not about to change my name to Levi Strauss, I do own around 20 pairs, which is probably quite a lot. But in my defence, they make up the majority of my wardrobe, and half of the pairs have been in there for a long time—from the skinny Topshop Joni’s I keep just in case (no matter how “cheugy” they are) to a pair of boyfriend jeans I snapped up in a sale for a tenner 10 years ago which I still wear today. Currently, I have a couple of favourites I wear on repeat: wide-leg ecru jeans from L’Agence and a pair of dungarees from Frame. While I don’t want to admit that I’m a big fashion-editor cliché, both the aforementioned pairs are very much on-trend right now. It’s why, the...
Trust Me—These 31 Haircuts Are Seriously Low-Maintenance
I cannot tell you the last time that my hair was at the forefront of my mind. Previously, “How should I wear my hair?” was the biggest question of my beauty routine, and now I feel like it’s fallen right to the bottom of my getting-dressed list. The thing is, while I want my hair to look like I’ve invested ample time in styling it, I don’t always have the minutes to spare. But my hair says so much about my current mood and the way that I want to present myself that I don’t want my two-minute style to scream “I really don’t care about my hair”—even if I did basically show my strands no love that morning. Luckily, via my ever-patient hairdresser, I sussed out a cut that is so low-maintenance that even when the bigg...
I’ve Tried So Many Huda Beauty Products, But These 14 Are Worth Your Money
Despite my job as a beauty writer, doing a full face of makeup has never been my strong suit. An intricate, trend-led hairstyle or a complex skincare routine, yes, but a YouTube-worthy makeup tutorial? My dexterity ends there it seems. This is why, initially, beauty guru Huda Kattan’s product line didn’t seem like it would be for the likes of me. The collection of full-coverage foundations, intensely matte lipsticks and jewel-coloured eye shadow palettes looked great online, but at first glance, I just couldn’t comprehend how to make these trending products work in real life. However, it’s no exaggeration to say that Huda Beauty now takes up a huge chunk of my makeup collection. From ingenious base products to essentials for eyes and lips, there ar...
I Thought I Hated SPF Until I Discovered This French One
It’s no secret that applying SPF every day is the single best thing we can do to help prevent skin ageing. But the truth is hardly any of us actually bother to. Whereas other powerhouse anti-ageing ingredients, such as retinol, offer almost overnight results, SPF offers no instant change. On top of that, the formulas tend to be tacky, greasy and generally woefully unpleasant to use. And trust me, as a beauty editor, I get it. For years, I have had dermatologists, skin experts and other beauty editors preaching to me that if I’m not applying SPF every single day (yes, even when it’s dark and grey out), I’m not worth my weight in gold as a beauty editor. Despite trying countless SPF products, I just couldn’t find one that my skin liked. If you ask me, a product that makes your skin grea...
7 Shoes That Will Go With Every Single Dress You Own
If there’s one thing we know, it’s that Who What Wear readers are obsessed with two things: dresses and shoes. These two subjects always dominate our So Should I Buy This? Facebook group, and now that we find ourselves on the cusp of bare-leg season, they’re proving to be all the more practical. While we’re quick to cover the latest trends across both wardrobe items, we thought we’d go back to basics and have a look at the shoes we should be wearing with dresses this summer. As such, we can conclude that there are seven key footwear styles that seem to suit dresses more than other shoe types. Chances are you’ll already own some (if not all) of the shoes on our list, but that’s the beauty of taking a step back from the noise of the trends and, ...
