21 COS Summer Dresses That Minimalists Will Love
Having spent the last month or two keeping track of any and every summer dress that has drops online, I like to think I’ve become a bit of an authority on the subject, and trust me when I say that COS’ 2021 offering is, so far, leading the charge. This is, however, not a collection for the floral fanatics of the world, because in true COS style, it’s all about clean-lines, colour-blocking appeal and a ‘less-is-more’ mantra.

Trust Me—I’m an Editor: 15 Summer Buys That I Love This Week
As several warehouses and stores shuttered over the past 12 months, the fashion industry faces huge challenges and strains that pose an inevitable threat to businesses. Many of us won’t be shopping in the same way right now, but even a like on Instagram or a message of support can provide a boost for these brands. I certainly don’t want anyone to feel like they have to buy more right now, but at the same time, after working in the fashion industry for nine years, I want to support the brands and pieces that I love and treasure. As an editor at Who What Wear, I typically spend a lot of time looking at new-in products and so every week, I update this story with the pieces that have caught my eye and that really stand out. I usually have quite a classic style and tend to lean towa...
The 6 Underwear Staples That Are Always a Good Investment
We try not to be too prescriptive when it comes to fashion here at Who What Wear, whether that’s in relation to the dress trends hitting the runway or the shoe style proliferating on Instagram. Of course, we’ll never turn down a good dose of style inspo (the more the merrier), but we like to think that we offer you a range of options that you can pick and choose from. However, there are some things that really are fundamental to building a successful wardrobe foundation, and one of those is underwear. Feeling secure, confident and comfortable in what lies beneath is so important for starting the day the right way. And while everyone has different requirements in the lingerie stakes—depending on their shape and size—we found that, after a quick survey of...
These Celeb-Approved Trousers Are the Epitome of “Rich and Unbothered”
The Row is known for its elegant, but quiet, take on luxury and its ability to make even the simplest items hugely desirable. If I had to describe the vibe in two words, they would be rich and unbothered. The intention of these clothes is to not initially attract too much attention but give an air of impeccable and superior taste—exactly how the founders, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, look having a coffee on a New York corner in a £2000 coat. They manage to make simple, unassuming items a thing of beauty thanks to a focus on design and quality, and this year, they have given slouchy, tailored trousers a “The Row-over.” In the S/S 21 collection, they included light-beige trousers that have sharp pleats at the front, wide legs and a high waistband. They are the kind ...
BRITs 2021: Fashion’s New Socially Distanced Accessory Is a Pair of Opera Gloves
Opera gloves were the unexpected accessory of choice at the 2021 BRIT Awards. Held live from London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday, 11 May, some of the best dressed stars on the red carpet had a few things in common: pastel ruffles, neon gowns, and “COVID friendly” accessories like designer masks, socially distanced headpieces, and opera gloves that completed a co-ordinated look. Two of the most memorable outfits on the red carpet came from Mabel and Raye. The singers wore body-hugging neon gowns with Mabel in lime green, Raye in fuchsia, and long elegant opera gloves to match. Jessie Ware and Lianne La Havas also chose opera gloves to complete their looks, but instead went for a more minimal palette of black and animal print. It makes so much sense why opera gloves are so popular...
PSA: This Cult Sandal Brand Has Been Restocked for Summer
Sandal brand Arizona Love popped up on my radar a couple of years ago when I spotted a steady stream of Instagram influencers wearing the printed trek sandals. From Erica Davies to our very own Who What Wear columnist Monikh, the sandal brand seemed to appeal to everyone whatever their personal style. There was only one problem: They kept selling out. Thankfully, the brand has created even more styles and has been restocked on various online retailers. Much like the Velcro “dad” sandals by Chanel, Teva‘s classic hikers and all the other iterations before and after, these are sandals of the practical variety. While they’re a traditional hiking style, the multicoloured fabric wrapped around the straps makes them so much more fun. The bra...
This Is My #1 Summer Bag Choice—End of Discussion
I enjoy the romantic aesthetic of a basket bag as much as the next #cottagecore fan, and no one can deny the everlasting allure of the now-classic raffia versions from Loewe. However, when it comes to practicality during the warmer months I’m often drawn to a similar-but-different alternative; The canvas tote has become my desired carry-all for summer 2021, because when it comes to schlepping around—of which I will be doing a great deal—this offers a very chic way to do it.

Trust Me—These Are 37 of the Best Celebrity Hairstyles Ever
From bobs and lobs to braids and full fringes, there are so many amazing hairstyles out there that it can be hard to know where to start if you’re looking for a little pre-salon inspiration. So here’s my suggestion: the A-list. With access to top hairstylists and trending hair products, celebs are constantly stepping out in hairstyles that give me major strand envy. But by switching up their hair as often as we change our t-shirts, choosing a favourite style can lead to an inevitable fall down an Instagram rabbit hole. To make things easier for you, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite celebrity hairstyles ever—37 to be precise—to make your next trip to the hairdresser a little easier.

I’ve Found the Perfect White T-Shirt, and Of Course It’s From Arket
It might come as a surprise to some to know that my perfect white T-shirt comes from none other than high street fave Arket. But, then again, since its inception it is a brand that has aced it in the high-quality basics stakes, with premium-feel fabrics at reasonable prices. The brand’s crew neck T-shirt ticks all the boxes: it’s not see-through, it has a high neckline, boxy fit and is fitted across the shoulders but loose over the hips. Best of all? It comes in at only £15. Not too shabby. I have worn mine with everything from tailored trousers at fashion week (see above) to spring-ready denim and chunky sandals. It is truly a multi-tasking hero. I’ve even converted my practical-minded husband to ...

This Nightie Is the Comfiest Dress You’ll Wear All Summer
Despite spending more time indoors over the last 12 months, our appetite for pretty dresses certainly hasn’t settled down.

10 Cool Nail Designs I’m Actually Going to Try This Summer
Easily the biggest print trend of 2021, checkerboard motifs initially began taking over our wardrobes, but now, they’re proving even more popular on the nail art circuit. Choose classic black and white or, for a summery spin, opt for pastel tones like The Hang Edit. The easiest way to achieve this look is to paint your nails a base colour, then use a dotting tool or toothpick to create the squares on top of it using a contrasting colour. Once you’ve mastered this technique, you can try adding negative space into the equation. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.
