This High-Street Candle Smells and Burns Just Like a Luxury Candle
I have a confession to make: I’m a bit of a candle snob. With homeware and my wardrobe, I’m all about sticking to budgets and tracking down bargains. I certainly don’t subscribe to the idea that the more expensive something is, the better it will be. Of course, this is sometimes the case, but I’ve been let down by seemingly “premium” purchases in the past. As for candles? They’re the one buy I allow myself to splurge on. I track this back to years spent working in a boutique surrounded by luxury candles. We’d burn them by our till, and I soon found myself hooked on the scent pay-off—not to mention the burn time, which lapped that of my frugal candles. Soon, I was spending my disposable income on high-end candles, somethin...
Chunky Sandals Can Be Tricky to Style, But These 8 Outfits Make It Easy
So-called “ugly” trends have been reigning supreme for the last couple of years, with Dad trainers, knitted tank tops, tie-dye, and quilted coats being some of the buys that initially raise eyebrows but have been adopted and are now adored by fashion types. This is the case when it comes to spring/summer 2021’s most prolific shoe. Chunky sandals started making tracks two years ago when Teva’s double-strap sandals started flooding our feeds. Chanel also brought out its own pair of chunky sandals, which, although emblazoned with the iconic double-Cs and finished in bouclé, still fell under the “ugly”-but-somehow-chic category. Last year, Dune treated us to its pair of best-selling Lockstockk sandals (which, PSA, are back for 2021), just as The Ro...
The High-Street Summer Dresses That Minimalists Will Love
It took me far longer than I’d care to admit to realise that, in fact, this is not a style persona that works for me (no matter how many peasant skirts I buy). I just like tailoring too much. However, it was when I ventured into COS that everything clicked into place. While I’ll never be a complete fashion purist, there was something about the brand’s simplicity and clean-lined minimalism that made everything feel so chic. As luck would have it, the last year or two has seen minimalistic style continue in an upward trajectory, with influencers foregoing the look-at-me extraversion that proliferated c.2015 and instead opting for unprinted shirt dresses, simple slips and voluminous smocks. Countless high street brands, from &...

All I Have to Say About These New Zara Items Is “OMG”
One of my favorite past times is randomly going on Zara’s website to find dozens of new arrivals waiting for me. Lucky for me, that exact thing happened just recently, and I’m here to share with you some of my findings. I don’t know about you, but Zara always seems to really step it up once summer rolls around. From the clothing to the campaign images, I find myself constantly impressed by the brand and this year is no different. With that plus my abnormal obsession with summer in mind, does it come as a surprise that I stalk Zara’s site a tad more than usual once warmer weather rolls around? No. It really doesn’t. Now that I’m done babbling, it’s time for you to shop. From swimsuits to pretty much every spring and summer trend that matters r...

3 High-Street Brands We’re Snapping Up Our Summer Staples From
You need only look out your window for confirmation that summer is on its way. The days are getting brighter and temperatures aren’t as bone-chilling as they were a month ago; a welcome treat considering all of the outdoor socialising we’re currently doing. Another signifier that summer is on route is the new-in sections of our favourite shopping haunts. Heavier fabrics like leather and wool have swiftly been replaced with linen and chiffon, sleeves have been dashed from dresses and tops alike, and sandals are taking precedence over boots. It’s glorious. While we could go through the summer collections of each and every brand, there are three stores whose new-season wares have impressed every single Who What Wear editor; we’re talking about...

15 Pictures That Prove the French Bob Is the Chicest Haircut to Have Right Now
It comes as no surprise really that after a year of coming in and out of lockdowns, we all seem to be suffering from a little hair fatigue. Whether it’s from staring at yourself in zoom meetings for too long or having outgrown your usual cut not being able to get to the salon, a lot of us are now considering a change of style for when we finally get that prized hair appointment. We’re here to help you find some inspiration, and where better to start than the bob?

From Picnics to Rooftop Drinks, A+ Outfit Ideas for Socialising In 2021
Socialising is now permitted again, however seeing a friend requires more planning than ever. Even your local Italian has waiting lists to rival Gloria and finding a six-person beer garden table for Bank Holiday is like securing Glastonbury tickets. It requires research and often dedication to the cause (we’re talking about sitting outside in nine layers in the rain for a catch up coffee). Now our notoriously stroppy weather plays such a big part of our social lives as we can only hang out outdoors, our outfits require some careful consideration too. Firstly, you need layers for any evening plans so don’t pack away that puffer coat just yet. Below we’ve charted five ways many are socialising right now from picnics to al fresco dinner dates, and provided some i...
28 Winning Summer Basics From Marks and Spencer, COS, Arket and Weekday
I’m not really someone who tends to have “rules” around what to wear and what not to wear, however, I can’t deny that having a strong foundation of basics has played an integral part in building a long-lasting and versatile wardrobe. While I love a bold print or jazzy dress, I tend to lean heavily on staples, such as T-shirts, jeans and tank tops, during the summer months to form a scaffolding that allows said statement items to truly shine.

4 Joyful Eye Shadow Looks to Try Right Now
There is nothing more joyful than a fun eye shadow look and now is the time to get playful. Spring is the season of new beginnings: the blooming of flowers, the birthing of baby chicks and lambs, the lighter evenings and sunnier days. Spring is full of life and after more than a year of what feels like deep hibernation and gloom, we can finally start to shed the layers of tracksuits and emerge from our cocoon-like homes. Whether you’re getting back out there with gusto or you’re tentatively starting to socialise once more, with masks a must, the best way to add a spring into your makeup look is with eye shadow. What’s great about most eye looks is that, once applied, there is very little need for touch-ups, unlike a bold lip that is as demanding as a toddler on a sugar high. You ...
