From SJP’s to Diana’s, These Are the 1980s Outfits Worth Copying
Ah, the 1980s. The decade of shoulder pads wider than doorways and hairstyles dependent on whole cans of hair spray was not an easy time for minimalists or shy and retiring types. Many people who lived through the extreme fashions of the day recoil in horror now at the thought of them returning. Eighties outfits were all about ultra-conspicuousness and being noticed. From meringue dresses and rah-rah skirts to leg warmers and stilettos, Spandex and lamé to door-knocker earrings and giant sunglasses, this was the era of OTT style, and the ’90s took a sharp about-turn following the visual overload. Now, with time and distance from this wild fashion period, not all 1980s ensembles seem quite as hideous as they once did. In fact, I’d go so far as ...
The Spring Dress Style That Takes 30 Seconds To Style
The secret to the style’s success lies in its “throw-on-and-go” appeal. Gone are the days of faffing around for hours in the morning, trying to match skirts with blouses and trousers with tops—these smock-like dresses are liberating us from the tyranny of our wardrobes. Plus, they look good with everything: both trainers and knee-high boots, chunky crewnecks and slim-fit roll-necks, smart tailored coats and leather bikers. Have we made ourselves clear enough? There are so many interpretations of this versatile dress trend, so you can feel safe in the knowledge that you’ll find the right one for you. There are knitted iterations, which would look so chic for work with heeled boots, leopard-print styles to pair with ch...

So what do you wear when spring isn’t quite making an appearance and you can’t be doing with the rain anymore? Take outfit inspiration from some of our favourite influencers, of course.

24 Products That Actually Make Your Hair Thicker
Generally speaking, when it comes to hair there seems to be one main thing that people want from their strands: thickness. In fact, when friends and family reach out to me with hair-related queries it’s most frequently to ask what the best products for thin hair are. I’ll be honest though, although I adore a good volumising product, hair thickness has never really concerned me. While my individual strands are quite fine, they’re coarse in texture and there’s a lot of them: I’m more likely to be testing products that promise hair hydration or strand-sleeking results than anything that makes hair look thicker. Until last year, that is. After having my first child I experienced the much-talked about postpartum hair los...
If You’ve Missed Proper Trousers, These 9 Trends Are for You
Numerous designers have played with this trouser shape. However, that isn’t the only alternative to jogging bottoms, jeans and leggings being presented to us for spring and summer. We also love the elevated knitted trousers (preferably in cream or lighter hues), the return of khaki trousers (very Rachel Green) and the black trousers that are dominating new-in sections right now. We are all about having the classic building blocks in your wardrobe here at Who What Wear, such as a great pair of black trousers or suit bottoms, so it’s worth paying attention to the gaps in your wardrobe when it comes to staple pieces. This spring, brands are also offering a more joyful approach to getting dressed, playing with bright colours and joyful prints, which is not only reflected...
This High-Street Brand Has Created the Perfect Pair of Straight-Leg Jeans
No, finding the perfect pair of straight-leg jeans is not exactly breaking news, but the fact that I have discovered that & Other Stories‘ Keeper Jeans tick all my boxes feels like a small win, and honestly, I’ll take all the wins I can get right now. As I have discovered, purchasing straight-leg denim seems to be that little bit harder than shopping for, say, skinny jeans or “mom” jeans. Why? Well, the definition of “straight” seems to be loosely interpreted across the market, with some inching towards a wide leg and others being more akin to a slim fit. Maybe it’s just my fanaticism when it comes to fashion, but there really is a fine balance to be found when it comes to de...
And Just Like That, These 6 Pretty Nail Colours Are Suddenly Trending
Along with gingham checks and basket bags, pastel nails are synonymous with springtime style. And now that we’ve turned a corner and officially entered the season, we’re keen to embrace the pretty manicure once more. Although pastels sound saccharine (we can almost taste the sugared almonds), that needn’t be the case. Of course, there are the petal-inspired shades of rose and lilac, but then there are the slightly punchier tones of mint and peach, which are arguably more in keeping with pared-back aesthetics. You might not think it, but pastel nail colours are also quite versatile. Although colourful, their powdery undertones loan themselves well to a multitude of other hues, meaning they’re less likely to clash with whatever you’re wearing than, say...
Celebrities Did Not Come to Play With These SAG Awards Looks
If you thought the Grammys red carpet was something worth buzzing about, get ready because I have a feeling our favorite celebrities are about to outdo themselves yet again for tonight’s Screen Actor’s Guild Awards (AKA the SAGs). Much like the rest of this award season, the SAGs were delayed but the show must (literally) go on, so this year will feature a pre-taped special. If you’re anything like us, your first thought it how this will affect the celebrity looks. While there won’t be a traditional red carpet before tonight’s show, expect the leading (and supporting) stars of this year’s binge-worthy series and critically acclaimed movies to turn up virtually and bring their A-game à la the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice...
The 5 Colour Trends Everyone Will Wear This Summer
Have you forgotten how to get dressed? I don’t mean chucking on the same knit and trackies you’ve been wearing for the past year. I mean like actually get dressed with purpose and consideration—a frock for drinks with mates at the pub, a cool pair of tailored trousers for a picnic in the park, a blazer for doing some Saturday shopping… There’s no doubt that while our love for fashion hasn’t waned, it’s been very centered on what we do inside our houses, so that means there’s been more of a focus on loose, comfortable and functional items. It’s not really been about getting dressed. Well, with spring coinciding with the easing of lockdown restrictions, it’s time to inject some fun into our outfits. Thankfully, there are plenty of joyful ...
I Re-Created 5 Photogenic Outfit Trends I Keep Seeing on Instagram
The other day I told my husband that I might’ve forgotten how to put outfits together, which I probably shouldn’t admit, given my profession. While it’s an overstatement, the truth is that I probably am a little rusty after a year spent in sweats and slippers, but things are starting to look up for 2021, and I’m starting to think about what I’m going to wear now that the weather is getting nicer. Instagram is pretty much my #1 source for outfit trend spotting, and so to get myself out of this year-of-lockdown style rut, I chose 5 looks that chic women recently posted to their feeds, and re-created them with pieces I already own. I can’t say that I looked quite as cool as they did, but some of the outfits got me out...
5 New Swimsuit Trends That Work For Every Body Type
If you love your shoulders/arms: If accentuating your arms and shoulders is your goal, opt for either strapless, off-the-shoulder, one-shoulder, or halter styles. Each of those silhouettes will draw all the attention to your upper body and really highlight one of your favourite features. If you love your legs: High cuts, either on bikini bottoms or one-pieces, immediately extend the length of your natural leg line. If you want to show off your stunning limbs, why cut off the line of your leg when you can extend it? This ’80s-style suit will do just that. If you love your waist: The best way to show off your waist, you ask? Belted swimwear is one of our must-try swimsuit trends generally speaking, but for those of you who love your mid-section, it’s...
26 Checked Dresses We’re Certain You’ll Love This Spring
The way we dress is always reflective of our surroundings, which explains the urge most of us have to wear florals in spring—we’re channelling the flowers blossoming around us into our outfits. Brands, be they high-end or high street, are all too happy to cater to this sartorial mirroring. Right now, in any and every new-in section, you’re sure to find a plethora of petal-adorned pieces just waiting to sell out. Still, regardless of how pretty the motif may be, the saying “too much of a good thing” exists for a reason. When you’ve already got a closet full of floral prints (we know we have), you’d be forgiven for wanting to spend your money on something different. Perhaps the springtime picnics we’re planning are serving as inspiration, but ri...
