I’m Convinced Everyone Is Going to Lose It Over This New Chloe Bag
Chloé has form when it comes to created covetable bags. There’s the Paddington, the Marcie, and the fairly recent C bag and now there’s a new one set to take the crown as the most popular Chloé bag—the Kiss. First spotted on the fashion house’s spring/summer 2021 runway, the Kiss is an elegant bag that comes in a variety of muted tones as well as a bold green (one of 2021’s hottest hues), black and yellow. Flashy isn’t a word I’d ever use to describe my wardrobe. Sure, I’ll wear sequins around Christmas and I have nothing against lurex or bright colours but on the whole, I keep things fairly simple. It’s why, then, that Chloé’s latest It bag has caught my eye. It comes in a few different styles; a small version, the hobo or t...
Margot Robbie’s Hairstylist Just Recommended This New Hair Product to Me
When it comes to hair, there’s no one size fits all approach to caring for it. Curly hair will require different products to fine strands and you might need more tools at your disposal to style a blunt bob than you would for a low-maintenance shag style. However, there are a couple of things that seem to be universal when it comes to haircare—we all want to keep it feeling healthy, looking full and generally sticking around for as long as possible. In fact, searches around hair loss and how to get thicker hair are at an all-time high right now with all of us keen to get our strands in tip-top condition as we head back into salon for those all-important post-lockdown haircuts.

I’m a Beauty Expert, But I Wish I’d Learned These 5 Skincare Lessons Sooner
Out of all of the skincare lessons I have learned, this remains perhaps the most controversial. You see, this is something I have sort of figured out for myself and I want you to hear me out. I grew up during a time when St. Ives Apricot Face Scrub was the skincare product to own. I used it once a week throughout my teens and loved the way it made my skin feel so smooth and soft. And then, the beauty world decided that all face scrubs were basically the devil, and we should be using acid exfoliants instead (like glycolic acid). In my early twenties, I binned all of my much-loved scrubs and started incorporating acids into my routine whenever I could (2–3 times a week, in the evenings). During those years, I battled redness, sensitivity, breakouts and even a bout of perioral ...
RIXO Debuts a Shoe Collection of Pretty, Vintage-Inspired Summer Sandals
Rixo is on a roll. Known for lovely floral midi dresses, the brand recently expanded into loungewear and bridal, and now founders Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey are gracing us with a charming shoe collection of vintage-inspired midheel summer sandals. Rixo’s nine-piece debut shoe collection includes easy-wearing sandals that combine fun-loving ’70s flower-power motifs with the minimal design of ’90s strappy sandals. Each sandal is made from 100-percent leather in a second-generation run factory in Alicante, Spain, that is Sedex (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) registered and aims to produce premium products in small batches. Focusing on three signature styles in three colour ways each, Rixo’s shoe collection features a strappy Ciervo midheel sandal in black, gol...
20 Black Summer Dresses That Are Anything But Boring
If you’re the kind of person who jumps at the chance to throw on a fuchsia frock or rainbow-hued separates at the merest hint of sun, then it’s best to look away now. This is an ode to the black summer dress and is dedicated to anyone who has found the prevailing summer aesthetic at odds with their personal style. My relationship with summer clothing has been an ever-evolving one, and while I think I have finally found a happy equilibrium between my penchant for tailored simplicity and practical need for warm-weather pieces, I can still find dresses hard to navigate. 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 ...
These 11 Lesser-Known French Brands Are Fashion’s Best-Kept Secrets
I often find myself conflicted between wanting to tell you about all the amazing buys and brands I see on my travels and wanting to keep them somewhat hush-hush. Not from you, of course, but from the masses who might cause an item to sell out before I can get my hands on it, or for a cool, independent brand I was smug about stumbling across suddenly being everywhere overnight. This is selfish, I know—what can I say? There’s light and dark in all of us. Still, I have no hesitation in sharing my latest findings—it turns out, some things are too good to keep to yourself. Like me, many Who What Wear UK’s readers are self-confessed Francophiles, persons with an appreciation for all things French. I’m not ashamed to admit I’m borderline obsessed with Frenc...
PSA: Rixo Has Just Dropped Its First Shoe Collection, and These Are My Faves
In the world of dresses, Rixo has been one of those cult brands that have made a name for themselves in a relatively short time. Winning over magazine editors and wedding-goers alike with its vintage-inspired designs, it has managed to inhabit that rare space between fashion and mainstream, which is no easy feat. Well, if that’s not enough, Rixo just announced today that it is entering the world of footwear with one seriously cute sandal collection, and yes, it’s just as good as we’d hoped. In true Rixo style, the collection has plenty of vintage undertones. Think paintbox brights, ’60s-inspired florals and the odd nod to the ‘90s strappy silhouette. Crafted in a second-generation factory in Alicante, Spain, by a team th...
Remember Skirts? These 6 Styles Are Going to Rule Summer
As someone who, prior to lockdown, only owned a couple of pairs of jeans and gym leggings, it’s hard to believe that the aforementioned items, along with the joggers I purchased last April, have become the most-worn items in my wardrobe. I used to live in dresses and skirts, and without meaning to sound overdramatic, I feel like I’ve lost a bit of my identity having not worn them for so long. However, with temperatures slowly starting to climb and the days becoming brighter and longer with each passing week, I’m seeing this as my opportunity to break myself out of my style rut and slip into something fresh. So why not make for a spring/summer 2021 hero skirt? Frocks might have reigned supreme in recent years, but it seems as if skirts are g...
The One High-Street Store I Always Buy My Basics From
The four things I look for in a good basic are as follows: Fit, quality of the material, colour and versatility, and from my extensive shopping experience, I can safely say that Arket ticks all the boxes every time. For example, I searched high and low for the perfect white tee and, unexpectedly, Arket’s £15 crewneck came up trumps (my husband finds the same with the men’s iterations, FYI). It’s the ideal amount of fitted on the shoulders and loose, but not baggy, around the hips, and I also seriously rate the crewneck collar. Before I get carried away with my ode to the Arket white T-shirt, let me present you with the 19 other basics that the brand has totally nailed. From the sharp tailored trousers and the softest roll-neck knit to the oversized white shirt and th...
5 Handbags That Will Make You Feel Like It’s Summer
After the winter we’ve had, the arrival of summer has never been so anticipated. With restrictions steadily easing, we now have a reason to carry a handbag again for the events in our diary that require careful packing. Summer handbags often need a chuck-it-all-in quality—you want to be able to squeeze in a bottle of rosé, suncream and multiple park snacks to your bag. There are certain styles that will always be popular in summer for this very reason, such as an oversized basket bag or a practical tote. Loewe is a designer that really leads the way here, as several years later and its logo-patch raffia tote is still a timeless investment that is highly sought after. Other handbags I have noticed that are popular every single year, are white l...
Summer 2021 Is Bringing Retro Style Back With These 8 Trends
When the ’70s episode of Disney+’s WandaVision first came to our television screens, I resonated heavily with the colorful ensembles and unique interiors. I must not have been the only one because the trends of 2021 seem to be giving the decade a second life on both the fashion and home décor scenes, and I’m not surprised. In a time where we’ve all been stuck in our home for the most part in the past year, the world is ready to embrace youthful, energetic, and fun styles for the hopeful summer ahead. It was evident when designers released their S/S 21 collections in the fall, and it’s clear as day now when you take a scroll through your favorite retailers. Amid the pages of your everyday basics, you’ll find a rainbow of colo...
This Cheap Makeup Brand Is Trending Right Now, so I Did a Hype Test
These days, the mark of a truly iconic beauty brand is some level of TikTok fame. From prestige picks to affordable drugstore ones, the makeup community on the popular app wastes no time identifying its favourite products, sharing the good news, and promptly causing said products to sell out—everywhere. We saw this happen recently with a new launch, the KVD Vegan Beauty Good Apple Foundation (£29) (which is still tough to find ever since the app’s top creators deemed it life-changing), but even products that have been on the market for a while can potentially get a resurgence in popularity based on positive recommendations from the internet’s makeup mavens. This has been the case recently for E.l.f. Cosmetics, a certified vegan and cruelty-free mak...
