The Future of Vegan Leather Is Plant-Based, and It’s Made from Cactus, Pineapples, and Mushrooms
Image Courtesy: Desserto If you like the look of leather but also want a more sustainable and ethical fashion industry, you haven’t really had many options. While real leather obviously doesn’t fit with an ethical lifestyle, many vegetarian and vegan leather alternatives are made from plastic, adding to the already vast amount of waste filling our oceans. But while innovation has been slow, there are more sustainable options being developed around the world and becoming available to consumers. The one thing these new leather alternatives have in common? They’re all being created from plants. Pleather is a portmanteau for “plastic leather”, whereas vegan or vegetarian leather suggests that the fabric is more sustainably and ethically made — but that’s not...
The Up-and-Coming It Brands Net-a-Porter Is Backing This Season
Every year, Net-a-Porter announces the brands that it’s backing for global success that season, and considering that it’s regarded by fashion editors as an authority on fashion’s up-and-comers, this is something we sit up and pay attention to. The Vanguard global mentorship program might be a new initiative, but it’s a brilliant a way to support young designers, and of course, a chance for us to see who is leading the way in design right now. Well, the 2020 results are in, and it’s our favourite lineup to date. This year’s list is made up of three inspiring female designers and, unsurprisingly, Netflix’s Next in Fashion winner Minju Kim is one of them. Last year M...
5 Cosy Jumper Outfits We’re Embracing This October
While every member of the Who What Wear team possesses their own distinctive sense of style, there are a few fashion items that transcend our differing tastes, including jumpers. A definitive cold-weather Brit staple, the humble jumper has been unwavering in its appeal over the decades, variously shrinking down and bulking up as trending silhouettes come and go. The last couple of years have seen a return of the oversize jumper in all its glory. Chunky, comforting, and warm, it never fails to put a smile on our faces on a chilly winter’s morning. There has also been a new-found fondness for the cardigan in all its iterations. From cable-knit fits to ribbed, ‘90s-inspired cropped styles, it’s become our favourite versatile layering piece. There are...
The Olsen Twins Were Way Ahead of the Curve on This Autumn Trend
Regarded as some of the chicest women in the world, the Olsen twins are hardly a pair who follow the crowd. Over their years in the spotlight, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have developed their own unique aesthetic, rarely straying from a pared-back capsule wardrobe filled with perfectly tailored trousers, button-down shirts, lengthy gowns, and floor-skimming maxi coats. As a fellow petite woman, I have, for years, analysed and admired the way the twins dress, managing to balance proportions and throw the traditional “petite-girl rule book” completely out the window. And this autumn in particular, I am feeling very inclined to draw from the Olsens’ guide to style by trying a maxi coat of my very own. While a legitimately floor-skimming coat is not the most p...
I’m a Fashion Editor—Here Are the 8 Autumn Trends I’m Wearing
Speaking of suiting, here’s another version I’m obsessed with. I like to call these “back to basics” suit sets, as spotted in the A/W 20 collections of brands like Bevza, Olivia Theyskens, and Givenchy. While I clearly love the reinvented takes on suiting like the cropped blazers above, there is simply nothing as timeless or classic as a great tailored set. For the new season, wearing these in a fresh way really comes down to the styling. On the runways, we saw jacket sleeves tucked into leather gloves, with turtleneck and sleek boots, blazers with nothing beneath, and sets worn with bra tops layered under them. Here, I took on the bra top version but I’m looking forward to finding fresh ways to wear this blazer set as the season conti...

Comment s’habiller comme une française cet automne
À Paris, nous devons beaucoup marcher. C’est pourquoi tout est chic mais toujours très pratique. Je vous garantie chaque parisienne possède des baskets, des bottes Chelsea et un trench-coat – toutes les pièces que l’on peu associer à un jean. Depuis peu, je vois aussi beaucoup de cardigans et de gilets en tricot sans manches (qui semblent être la pièce de transition parfaite) associés à des jeans. La clé est vraiment de faire en sorte que les pièces simples et minimales soient toujours intéressantes. Pour moi, il s’agit de combiner les couleurs, les tissus et les coupes, puis d’ajouter une touche finale avec de superbes accessoires. Si j’ai un t-shirt uni et un jean avec une ceinture marron, je l’associe à un manteau marron ou j’assortis mon ...
This Is the One Product Your Makeup Routine Is Missing, and I Tried Them All
I have a few beauty secrets up my sleeve, but the main one is my use of primers, a product that has the ability to divide so many of us makeup wearers. There’s a camp of people who believe they’re just moisturisers with a new name and others who absolutely swear by them. I’m one of the latter. I use a primer whenever I wear makeup, and my friends are constantly astonished by how long my makeup stays in place or by the finish of my foundation. The answer to both? Primer. I only wear one primer and have done so for years (stay tuned to find out which one), but I thought I’d switch things up and try out all of the primers on the market and give a review of each one.

Katie Holmes’s Mango Joggers Are the Perfect WFH Staple
There are few things we love more than seeing a celebrity in a high-street item, and recently stylish stars have been flocking to Spanish retailer Mango. Just a few weeks ago, Sienna Miller was spotted in a pair of the brand’s wide-leg trousers and in recent days, Katie Holmes has been seen in their knitted joggers. Holmes paired the cream joggers alongside a check blazer, white long-sleeve T-shirt and sneakers, undeniably creating a WFH outfit Zoom dreams are made of. The blazer and white top ensured she looked completely put together on the top half of her body, while the joggers are proof she remained comfortable on the lower half.

25 “Christmas” Jumpers That Will Work From Now Until February
Despite enjoying fashion’s proclivity for being flamboyant, I’m usually the sort of person who dodges wearing anything remotely festive. Halloween costumes are a strictly no-go area, Valentine’s Day isn’t worth celebrating, so then of course Christmas jumpers are completely out of the question. Don’t get me wrong—Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year but when I start seeing the two words ‘novelty’ and ‘knitwear’ together, I want to run a mile. I detest it all: from pull-overs festooned with stick-out reindeer antlers to cable knits with look-at-me tinsel embellishments. 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 you back power. Get to meet Beautiful people, chat and make money in th...
These Oversize Shirts Are the Ultimate Autumnal Staple
Long before we even knew the word ‘covid’, we were repeating the phrase “unprecedented times”, and our wardrobes turned into a Groundhog day of comfy-but-smart pieces, fashion was already looking towards a more classic, pared-back approach. Our spring/summer 2020 report revealed that one of the most in-demand pieces for that season was a blue The Row shirt. Then the autumn/winter 2020 runways confirmed it: this season is about the pieces you’ll be wearing forever and not just for a few months. In our trend report for this season, Elizabeth von der Goltz, global buying director at Net-a-Porter said that customers will be making more considered purchases with sustainability in min and that “our wardrobes will be more hardworking than ev...
