The Duchess of Cambridge has been doing most of her visits and appointments via Zoom recently, however today to mark the reopening of schools this week Kate and William visited a school in Stratford, East London. They were there to talk about the initiative she launched several years ago, Mentally Healthy Schools, and to hear about the lessons the children will receive on anxiety and depression. At the beginning of the year we wrote about how bright pink will be the colour of 2021, as it is a jolly shade that designers are using to make their collections joyful and vibrant. Kate wore this punchy shade for today’s engagement, wearing a pink coat by Max & Co with the belt removed with a tonal jumper. Her pink jumper is only £65 from affordable British bran...
It may be a coincidence, but it feels like lockdown has yielded a steady stream of practical-minded trends. I’m thinking basic tank tops, insulating puffer coats, park-ready combat boots and throw-on-and-go dresses. The gilet is one such piece that has ticked both the form and function boxes with its layerable appeal, and I’ve seen the trend develop over the last 12 months, appearing in all manner of guises, from shearling and quilted puffers to artisanal quilting and heritage tweed.

When it comes to personal scent, I am something of a fragrance junkie. From celeb-approved perfumes to this year’s trending scents, I love experimenting with new aromas but pride myself in being able to find the best expensive-smelling scents that don’t cost the earth. And when it comes to home fragrance? Well, I’m similarly obsessed. Honestly, at this point in time, my fireplace has pretty much become a display shelf for scented candles. After all, why light just one when you can light five? So, as someone that’s always on the lookout for candle recommendations to add to my collection, I thought it might be interesting to see which scented candles the A-list fragrance their own abodes with. From Megh...
Since last summer, the trend has only continued to grow in popularity—and now you can find a collared blouse to suit you in just about any colour, print, or size you desire. And now, with lockdown restrictions gradually beginning to ease, we’re already planning on styling them with denim cut-offs and velcro-strap sandals for picnics in the parks and alfresco brunches. Now, with lockdown restrictions gradually beginning to ease, we’re already planning on styling them with denim cut-offs and velcro-strap sandals for picnics in the parks and alfresco brunches. Still, tracking down the best collared blouses out there is something of a chore, as there’s just so many out there. As collared blouse fans ourselves, we took it upon ourselves to whittle down the top’s most not...
You don’t need me to tell you that chopping and changing your skincare line-up every time a new It product hits the shelves is terrible for your skin. Not just because our skin likes routine, but also because all skin is different, and what is deemed a miracle product by one skinfluencer could be disastrous for your complexion. And no one knows this peril better than a beauty editor. You see, while we beauty editors like to think we know better than to fall for every buzzy product that comes our way, in reality, we’re ruining our skin every single day by testing and trialling them all—it’s part and parcel of the job. In order to know what products are good and which ones aren’t, we’ve got to be prepared to face the music when our skin acts up. This is where our stash of antidotes come...
You might be familiar with Jacquard, a group of intricately decorated woven fabrics that feature embossed prints, particularly that of elaborate florals. Jacquard first became popular in Britain in the 1820s — the same Regency fashion era when Bridgerton takes place — and it’s currently making a comeback for spring 2021 thanks to our favourite fashion brands and Instagram’s style enthusiasts. For spring 2021, we saw decadent Jacquard prints at Simone Rocha, Erdem, Fendi, and JW Anderson. At Simone Rocha, the Regency-inspired print was used to add opulence to puff-sleeved mini and midi dresses. Erdem had a similar approach, using the woven fabric to add romance to khaki green puff-sleeved coats and co-ordinated sets, which take reference from Regency menswear innovator Beau Brum...
Every fashion buyer I have spoken to this year has said their approach to 2021 is to stick to classic basics and seasonal staples such as loafers, denim and wear-forever outerwear. This shift towards timeless, seasonless items is one that we have seen for years. However, now more than ever, people are making considered purchases with sustainability and longevity in mind. One brand that is leading the way when it comes to classic items is Totême. The Stockholm-based brand was founded by fashion blogger Elin Kling in 2014 and creates classic staples that have a clear, identifiable edge. The Totême colour palette is neutral, with camels, chocolate, black, cream, and greys. The focus is on the silhouettes, however, as all the pieces play with proportion. Take the iconic Annecy Coat—i...
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...
As someone who loves a cheeky Canadian Tuxedo (look it up), this season’s celebration of all things denim has been music to my ears. Far from Britney-and-Justin’s infamous bleached get-ups c.2001, the head-to-toe denim look for 2021 has an altogether more subtle spin. Thankfully, Zara’s new-in section is packed-full of expensive-looking denim buys: From minimalist silhouettes in the form of boxy shackets and clean-lined jeans, alongside the odd ’70s throwback via A-line midi skirts and belted denim dresses.

If you were to take a quick scroll through my Instagram stories then you’d be forgiven for thinking that my job basically involves swatching lipsticks and testing face masks for a living, and to some extent you’d be right. A lot of what I do does involve trying and testing new products so that I can make genuine recommendations, but there’s a whole other side to working in beauty that I love just as much—geeking out over data. From stats about sell-out products to studies on skincare, I’m obsessed with the evidence that proves a product works. So when we noticed that there was one specific beauty product trending in our weekly reports because Who What Wear readers had been shopping it in their droves, I immediately wanted to know why. ...
Mothering Sunday is right around the corner — Sunday, March 14. We all know the most valuable Mother’s Day gift is quality time. But if presence is already in abundance between you and the mum in your life, then we’ve found some treats that she will absolutely love. There are a few gifts that are sure to inspire a smile — jewellery, fragrance, small leather goods, and decor. When it comes to jewellery, we’ve handpicked two pieces from Missoma and Alighieri that would suit either a lover of minimal, classic jewellery or a woman who loves to rock a conversation-starting piece. If you’re unsure about her jewellery style, then a jewellery travel case from Pandora or a gorgeous piece of vintage home décor is a good shout. If the mum in your life loves a beautiful scent, ...
