The thing that I love most about beauty is its versatility—a colourful eye shadow that sparks joy, that transformative feeling of stepping out of a hair salon with a fresh haircut, the products we seek out when in need of comfort. But alongside the transcendental, beauty’s other role is that of a problem-solver: offering practical solutions to a whole host of universal concerns. From hair-thickening solutions to spot-soothing ingredients, beauty products can tackle a multitude of worries with ease. And while I wholeheartedly believe that we should all love the skin we’re in—no improvements necessary—I’d be dishonest in saying there aren’t days when I look to certain products to bolster my confidence and help me ...
There are hundreds of thousands of influencers in the social ether, but there are only a handful who we religiously stalk in order to virtually steal the clothes off their backs. Our primary target is Monikh—the London-based styling and shopping guru who seeks out the very coolest buys from every corner of the retail world. From her inspiring tips on rewearing her well-chosen investment items to hunting down the coolest high-street pieces, her Instagram feed, @monikh, and website are a veritable hotbed of things you’re going to want to purchase immediately (and will never regret). Each month, Monikh will share her new picks exclusively for you… We’ve finally made it! The shops are open, the salons are back and restaurants are set up for outdoor and indoor dining. Not only does th...
If you hadn’t already subscribed to the athleisure aesthetic, we’re willing to bet that, after the last year, you’ve come to not only accept it but wholeheartedly embrace it. Whether by way of joggers, leggings, hoodies, or bralets, lounge and activewear have been at the top of the style agenda for 15 months and counting—and you’ll be pleased to hear that, even as restrictions begin to ease, it’s not going anywhere. It’s official—comfortable clothing is here to stay, and we couldn’t be happier about it. That said, not all athleisure is created equal. We’ve been let down by enough cheap imitations in our time to know that some pieces are of a calibre all their own and are worth spending a little extra on. And of all the activewear labels out t...
There are certain things that universally signify the beginning of spring—the first bunch of £1 daffodils, a bag of Mini Eggs and it being light at 6pm. Nothing makes me feel like I’ve said ‘so long’ to winter quite like retiring my tights, and wearing a summer dress. March is when many of us will revisit our dresses, and so we are marking this wardrobe switchover at Who What Wear with a series of edits and guides to the dresses that we’ll be wearing for the next six months. Below I’ve listed the 8 dress trends that I think you’ll see throughout all the stages of the relaxing of lockdown restrictions. Long-sleeved, denim and knitted dresses are perfect for the next few months of daily walks, while the bright pink dresses and fun minis I...
I love a good bit of minimalism in the summer. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not averse to bright colours, but there’s something so chic about wearing muted tones in the heat. This year, as I won’t be heading overseas or to anywhere that actually has hot weather (thanks, British summer), I want to pretend I’ll be on the beaches of Ibiza or the Cote d’Azur, and H&M’s latest summer collection is going to help me do just that. Full of floaty dresses and loose-fitting tops, I plan on wearing these items from now until September. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Generally speaking, I find that when I straighten my coils, my hair tends to lack shine and movement and, traditionally, hair masks that are formulated for damaged hair can leave my hair feeling coated and heavy. So even if I love the brand, I always have a little bit of trepidation on first use. This mask, however, is different. Let’s talk about the bottle: It’s small. Honestly, I was sceptical that you’d get your monies worth this, especially as I’m used to masks that come in big pots where you’re able to scoop out lots and saturate your hair from root to tip. But I was pleased to find you only really need to use two pumps if you have shoulder-length hair like me (although I added an extra one, as I have a thick mane). If you hav...
From Dior’s saddlebag to Chanel’s timeless 2.55, there’s no shortage of cult favourites when it comes to handbags. For many women, a designer bag is the ultimate fashion investment and often becomes the item that is worn and cherished most within our wardrobes. While I have lofty dreams about one day owning a coveted Hermès Birkin or investing in an of-the-moment Prada Cleo bag, I also find myself wondering, Which bags are other women interested in? More specifically, what’s trending among the style set in London right now? As luck would have it, a few weeks back, I was able to discover my answer. Tasked with street style–spotting on East London’s Broadway Market for another article, I came across several chic resi...
If I say the words “countryside outfit,” you’ll probably think of a pair of old wellies and a hand-me-down waxed jacket, but there are a number of other rural-appropriate ensembles one can wear for leafy walks. Generally speaking, hiking boots are the ultimate footwear of choice, while floaty dresses with prints reminiscent of their surroundings are also popular with the style set. Throw in some denim, seasonal knitwear, and a healthy dose of gingham, and you’ve got yourself the perfect pastoral capsule. Keep scrolling to see eight countryside outfit ideas from Instagram’s finest, and then shop all the pieces you need to recreate the looks for your next countryside day-out. Many, however, you might find within your own wardrobe, as these looks a...
Backless bras are quite a controversial subject. For starters, do they really do anything? And wouldn’t it just be easier to go braless? It’s a yes to both for us, which proves exactly why this is such a tricky lingerie item to pin down and feel content with. So if you’re in need of a bit of support and don’t want to feel exposed (not to mention if you have a fuller bust), there are definitely outfits that require such an item. Whether that’s a plunging and revealing top, dress or jumpsuit, a backless bra can come in handy and really make your whole look. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power. Get to meet Beautiful people, chat and make money in the p...

Now that our social calendars have officially reopened, we are using every outing as an opportunity to wear our favourite summer dresses inspired by the best fashion trends of 2021: shirt dresses, gingham checks, wavy prints, sheer fabrics, and calming lilac. Shirt dresses became a summer sensation after With Jéan debuted its bestselling Andy Dress in the colour forest green. Soon after, Lori Harvey was spotted wearing the coveted summer item on Instagram, and the ruched shirt dress experienced a boost in popularity thanks to the buzz around Harvey’s new relationship with Michael B Jordan. Replicas of the With Jéan dress can be spotted all over our favourite high street retailers’ online shops, and we aren’t ashamed to say we’d love to add one to our collection as w...
Marks & Spencer might be the place you usually head to for socks and sandwiches, but as any fashion expert will know, there are plenty of fab fashion pieces to be discovered there.
