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 &...
Road Trip! Our 2020 Subaru Outback Heads to Utah for a Top Gear America Shoot
Subaru Outback Full Overview When you’re heading to Park City, Utah, and a hotel set amongst mountains and ski lifts, you need all-weather traction, ground clearance, and a sense of invincibility. So my own BMW X7 xDrive40i should be perfect. Well, it should be… but getting winter tires in the 22-inch X7 fitment at the end of the winter season proved impossible. However, thanks to our good friends at Tire Rack, MotorTrend‘s long-term Subaru Outback test car was quickly outfitted with a new set of Michelin X-Ice Snows and I was heading northeast toward Park City. The Outback is very definitely meant for a different audience than the X7 in size, in status, in price, and in luxury. And yet almost immediately I got along with Subaru’s SUV-like wagon perfectly. The ride is a l...
Volkswagen Turns Up the Golf GTI Clubsport to 45
Volkswagen is at it again, and this time with a special edition of the Golf GTI Clubsport to commemorate 45 years of the iconic hatchback. The quickest GTI variant that we folks Stateside can only gawk at from afar, the Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport 45 is the latest in a storied line. See all 5 photos Essentially a spiffed-up version of the already hardcore GTI Clubsport, the Golf GTI Clubsport 45 adds a package of upgrades that reduce weight and elevate status. First up is an Akrapovič titanium sports exhaust system that improves flow and amplifies the exhaust note. The hot hatch gains 19-inch “Scottsdale” alloy wheels featuring a Tornado Red pinstripe around the rim and finished in high-gloss black paint. Other exterior updates include “45th Anniversary” badg...
Meet the Hypothetical 2022 Honda Civic Coupe
So, what if the Honda Civic coupe had survived for 2022? We answered this hypothetical by having some fun with an image of the 2022 Civic sedan and Photoshop. Whereas prior Civic two-door models have sat on stubbier wheelbases than that of its four-door counterpart, we opted to keep our imagined 2022 Civic coupe on the same 107.7-inch wheelbase as the 2022 Civic sedan. We figured doing so might give our theoretical 11th-gen Civic coupe a slightly more rakish roofline. Instead, we inadvertently made a smaller version of the previous-generation Honda Accord coupe (pictured below). With its squared-off headlights, snub nose, and cleaned-up flanks, the latest Civic takes on a mature, almost Accord-like appearance. No surprise, then, that shaving off the rear doors and cutting the roofline...
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...
PSA: Mango Now Does Homeware, and We Love It All
More than ever, the world of homewares has become accessible to everyone, regardless of budget. This is in large part thanks to the ever-growing line-up of high-street brands offering up their own interior edits, and the latest addition to this list just happens to be Who What Wear fave Mango. The collection dropped this week, and yes, it packs all the laid-back style that typifies the store’s fashion designs. Needless to say, we love it all.

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...

PureGym Analyzes Workout and Gym Playlists to Identify Top 50 Workout Tracks
New research from the UK-based company PureGym has aggregated Spotify playlist data and determined the most popular songs to soundtrack a workout. The company analyzed 142,000 unique tracks populating playlists with either “gym” or “workout” included in the title and published a list of the top 50 recurring tracks. It’s no secret that listening to music while working out leads to a happier, and more productive gym experience. “Music is like a legal drug for athletes,” says Costas Karageorghis, a Ph.D. from London’s Brunel University School of Sport and Education. “It can reduce the perception of effort significantly and increase endurance by as much as 15 percent.” Perhaps it’s the heart-pumping cadence of house music that has ...
Can the Ram 1500 TRX Still Be Cool Without 702 HP? We Think So
The 2021 Ram 150 TRX is an awesome truck—full stop. And we don’t mean that in the colloquial sense of awesome, we mean that in the literal sense—its astounding acceleration, cross-country abilities, and relative civility inside inspire awe—and earned it our Truck of the Year award. It’s a supertruck, the first of its kind, and a no-brainer for the title. No question that the TRX does more than any other truck in history effortlessly, and with few flaws. But you know why we love it. You also know about our only major quibble: with great performance comes great thirst. The TRX delivers atrocious fuel economy, and no one should be surprised by that when you’ve got a 702-horsepower supercharged V-8 accelerating 6,350 pounds’ worth of off-road full-size pickup truck to 6...
2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Willys Review: The Ideal Jeep?
Jeep Wrangler Full Overview The Jeep Wrangler is one of our all-time favorite vehicles, though certainly not because it drives well. It never has, and, Iacocca willing, it never will. No, we love this stalwart 4×4 because of its single-minded focus on its rough-and-tumble mission, which imbues it with a rich character rare in today’s marketplace. Of course, for all its boulder-taming capability, there are legions of Wrangler buyers who rarely use their Jeeps on much more than a two-track road, never mind Moab’s red rocks. For those folks, the ones who use their Wranglers every day, something like the Willys model you see here is close to ideal. With plenty of features and a nice package of baked-in off-road equipment, it’s perhaps the best balance of daily driver and...
