Self-Love, Social Media and Stilettos: Who What Wear Meets Jameela Jamil
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,...
Katie Holmes Just Gave an Indicator of What Spring’s Biggest Dress Trend Will Be
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...
6 Spring Outfit Formulas I’m Stealing From the Olsen Twins
Since taking on the role of Who What Wear’s social media editor back in November, I’ve noticed a few things about our audience. Firstly, there’s unanimous agreement that bubblegum pink is the most on-trend shade for spring. Secondly, if Hailey Beiber reveals behind-the-scene info on her beauty routine, everyone wants to know about it. And thirdly, we’re all is still completely and utterly obsessed with the Olsen twins’, even after all these years. Of course, when it comes to the latter, I can wholeheartedly agree that I too have an unrelenting interest in Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s aesthetic. Having grown up admiring the pair, I was as into their outfits in 2014 when they donned ‘I Heart New York’ t-shirt...
12 Styling Ideas That Will Give Your Jeans a New Lease of Life
Ahh, jeans, where would we be without them? As someone who avoided wearing them for the first 20 years of her life, in the decade that’s followed, jeans have become as equally integral to my wardrobe as knickers and bras. I honestly don’t remember how I ever got dressed without them. And while they might not always be the most exciting thing to wear, they do open up countless sartorial possibilities. Fellow denim devotees will tell you that jeans have the potential to unlock countless excellent outfits, and you need only look to Instagram for proof.

5 Shoes Fashion Girls Always Wear with Leather Outfits
I recently bought a faux leather skirt—a midi with a button-down front and a tie-waist—and was excited to wear it. I stood in front of the mirror, tried it on with my favourite jumper, and knew it was a winning combination. “I’ll wear this for my next walk with a friend,” I told myself as I admired my reflection. “Now, for shoes.” Assuming this would be an easy task, I encountered an unexpected stumbling block. Every shoe I tried on just didn’t seem to work. Granted, many of my shoes are made from black leather, the same texture and colour as the skirt, and they all felt too heavy. Particularly as we’re entering spring. So I decided to turn to some of my favourite influencers to see what they deem as the best shoes to wear with leather outfits. Scroll below to see the footwear choices they...

Every Editor on My Team Is Wearing These Spring Accessories Already
Our editorial team is fast-forwarding to spring already. We are completely and utterly done with puffer coats and chunky boots for now—thank you very much. So it is rather fortuitous that the latest Who What Wear Collection drop of bags and shoes has arrived at Zalando (and soon to Kurt Geiger) to help us skip straight into the new season. While we may not be able to legitimately frolic around in a floaty dress or consider wearing minis quite yet, it is possible to switch up accessories in order to feel like our outfits have been suitably revamped with spring in mind. You may or may not know, but these drops are based on editor-driven trend picks, and rather than providing every single shoe or bag style known on earth, it’s about a concise curation. You’ll only find t...

It’s safe to say that everyone needs a great pair of jeans that make you feel like you can take on the world. And with much of our shopping moving online, it’s tricky to choose the perfect pair for your body shape when you can’t try before you buy. Luckily, that’s where social media comes in with endless photos of women from all over the world, showing you exactly how your next favourite pair will fit — and how it could make you feel.

We’re also loving statement denim designs, like Agolde’s criss-cross jeans, classic Levi’s cuts, and patchwork pieces. But before you purchase that gorgeous new pa...
Trust Me—QVC Is the Most Underrated Place to Shop for Beauty Products
As a beauty editor I am often asked where I personally love to shop for products is, but with so many brilliant options out there—Cult Beauty, Harvey Nichols, Space NK, the list goes on—it can be hard to choose a favourite. However, there is one decidedly underrated beauty destination that I now swear by if I’m looking for a beauty bargain: QVC.

Turns out, QVC stock some of my favourite beauty brands of all time and have the best beauty deals online—hands down. Trust me, I think it’s abou...

The appeal of wearing a dress to many is that it requires very little thought when it comes to styling.

Whether you’re opting for a mini, midi or maxi, something fitted or with a tent-line silhouette, I have listed five shoes which will go with almost any dress this spring. The next few months will largely comprise of walks, picnics and outdoor dining when restaurants reopen, and so all the footwear bel...
