On a recent Zoom call with my friends, we found ourselves discussing our most recent purchases. With spring officially kickstarting on March 20th, it seems we’ve all indulged in a spot of new-season retail therapy in the hope that we’ll be able to wear said items to see one another very soon. Now, it’s worth noting that all of my friends have different looks—some subscribe to minimal aesthetics, while others are all about ruffles and frills. Me? I’m somewhere in the middle. But what I found most interesting was the fact that, with polar-opposite styles, every single one of my friends had bought fresh pieces from one brand in particular: Zara. How is it that Zara can create tiered, floral print dresses with oversized, pounced collars, then produce the sleek...
There’s less than one month to go until hair salons will potentially be allowed to reopen in England, and that means it’s time to start deciding exactly what kind of hair transformation I’ll be asking my hairdresser for once I’m finally reunited with a salon chair. After just one professional cut in 2020 and a couple of mishaps with my kitchen scissors, I’m ready for a hair refresh, but I’m torn between opting for a low-maintenance style or something more striking that might require a bit more upkeep. Either way, I know I’m not alone in feeling more than ready to hear the gentle “snip, snip” of a hairdresser’s scissors. In fact, there’s one celeb who frankly couldn&...
When faced with the task of creating or adding to a capsule wardrobe, there’s one place we’d recommend everyone—be they friends, family, or indeed, readers—turn to; Uniqlo. Why? Ask any member of the Who What Wear UK team, and they’ll tell you its the brand they always find the best basics from. Nearly all of these pieces come under the Uniqlo collection of LifeWear; simple, high-quality, everyday clothing. With everything from merino knitwear to perfectly-cut T-shirts in an expansive colour palette, Uniqlo’s collection of style staples is inimitable. This season, however, it’s as if the brand has set out to prove that it is so much more than a source for replacement jersey vest tops. You need only look at Uniqlo’s new-in section, and you’ll see that the spring collection boasts an ar...
Of course, silk pyjamas look fancy, but they come with a whole host of benefits, too. They’re great for your skin, as the fabric is less prone to friction. The fabric’s blend creates a breathable yet insulating barrier between yourself and the surrounding temperature, meaning it’ll help keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. While they’re more expensive than cotton PJs, silk pyjamas are one of the most special things you can invest in, and it really pays to buy the real deal. Keep scrolling to see the best silk pyjamas, and soon, you’ll wonder how you ever coped without them. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Spring is always a time when I inject some colour back into my wardrobe, after spending months wearing greys, navys and browns. At this point though those colours are feeling a little drab and I’m gravitating towards more vibrant shades. If you’ve read our spring summer 2021 trend report you’ll know that an overarching theme for the season was a desire to put the joy back into fashion, which resulted in a sea of bright colours. The stand out shade was certainly pink, as almost every collection included fuchsias and hot pinks. Unsurprisingly Zara took note, and the new-in section is filled with lots of bright pink treasures from chunky jumpers to jeans. However that’s not the only colour the high street brand is backing right now, as you’ll ...
The Vampire’s Wife and The Royal Ballet launched a new creative partnership that sees dancers Charlotte Tonkinson, Nadia Mullova-Barley, Mariko Sasaki, and Marianna Tsembenhoi bring new life to the brand’s exquisite designs. Founder and creative director Susie Cave closely collaborated with Kristen McNally, principal character artist and movement director at The Royal Ballet, to film and photograph the ballerinas in Cave’s hero pieces. “I have had a deep fascination for The Royal Ballet since I was a child,” said Cave in a press statement. “They are one of the world’s great ballet companies. During lockdown, all COVID protocols followed, of course, I invited four dancers to the home of The Vampire’s Wife to dance in my clothes. I watched thes...
David and Victoria Beckham pioneered ’90s couple style in a way we hadn’t really seen before. Posh and Becks were fashion icons in their own rights, but once they started dating in 1997 — and debuted coordinated couple outfits — our love for them went to a whole new level. In the late ’90s and early 2000s, Posh and Becks were shaping their individual styles while creating a shared couple aesthetic. Victoria would often wear some defining fashion pieces of the decade — chain mail, halter tops, chain belts, trucker hats, gradient sunglasses, and her own collection of animal-print details. David’s style would revolve around looking like he was straight out of a ’90s R&B music video, with some sporty tracksuits, varsity shirts, and an occasional silk hair scar...
No matter how much you might spend on it, there’s something about shampoo that always feels like the most basic step of your hair routine. After all, sudsing up in the shower just isn’t that exciting—it’s the masks, hair oils and styling products that bring the fun later. However, while I am partial to a more expensive shampoo and conditioner duo, I often recommend that it’s the place in your hair routine where you can cut costs if you’re looking to save some money—leaving you to invest more in your styling products instead. As a beauty editor I have tested a lot of shampoos over the years but while the luxe cleansers often feel great, and smell even better, there are plenty of drugstore shampoos that I use regularly and reco...

That said, Jamil is always quick to ensure she doesn’t come across as judgemental. “I’m not here to shit on anyone who’s had botox, there are a lot of trans people in the world who rely on surgery or botox to live a safe life. But I think we need to be more transparent about it and shift our goalposts to what we think is important. Those of us with big platforms have a duty to remind people that they are not just what they look like.” This perhaps is the key point Jamil is making. While plenty of celebrities, actresses and A-listers might look a certain way when dressed up and having had their hair and makeup done, when it’s off, they don’t look like that. Despite her desire to be transparent, that doesn’t mean Jamil hates clothes and makeup—far from it,...
I love a Katie Holmes coat moment as much as the next fashion editor, but just like the rest of the world, I’m ready for spring fashion. And Katie just gave us what we want with her perfect Ulla Johnson dress, which she paired with her favorite Common Projects white sneakers. With the days getting longer and the temperatures rising, we’ve been thinking a lot about dress trends here at Who What Wear, and Holmes’ nailed spring’s biggest trend. If you have any knowledge of Bridgerton, you know that it took place during the Regency era. The dresses at that time were very distinctive and very romantic. Accordingly, designers have been quick to release similarly romantic dresses, with puffed sleeves, empire waistlines, and pretty prints. Holmes’ dress...
