35 Outfits That Look 10/10 Styled With Trainers
Gone are the days when trainers were solely reserved for athletic endeavours (Read: your commute, whenever it resumes). Over the past few years, sneakers have broken free from their gym-bag bounds and have taken on new sartorial meaning. It all started when Adidas Stan Smiths became part of the It-girl uniform. Then Vans proved to be all the rage. Fast-forward a few seasons and we had the pared-back likes of Veja and Superga to obsess over. Most recently, though, “dad” trainers have been clogging up our Instagram feeds—something that looks set to continue the further into 2021 we find ourselves. Regardless of which trainer style you’ve pledged your allegiance to, there’s one thing we can all agree on: We’re so glad trainers are here to stay. However, thei...
Experts Say Great Skin Is All About Breaking These 6 Beauty Habits
You’d be right in assuming that makeup wipes really have no place in any beauty aficionado’s routine. Despite the fact that their throwaway nature has the potential to drastically damage the planet, they can also prove detrimental to the condition of your skin. “Most cleansing wipes contain detergent-like chemicals and harsh alcohols that strip away the natural pH balance of the skin. These ingredients can cause irritation and leave the skin dry, dehydrated and sensitive,” reveals celebrity facialist Lisa Harris. At this point, you might be questioning just how serious the dryness can really be. However, it turns out it’s not just the harsh chemicals that can cause the skin to age. Harris goes on, “Wipes don’t cleanse the skin properly and instead spread bacteria around the face, whic...
Trust Me, I’m An Editor—10 Jolly Buys That I Love This Week
As several warehouses and stores shuttered over the past 12 months, the fashion industry faces huge challenges and strains that pose an inevitable threat to businesses. Many of us won’t be shopping in the same way right now, but even a like on Instagram or a message of support can provide a boost for these brands. I certainly don’t want anyone to feel like they have to buy more right now in a time of such heightened worry, but at the same time, after working in the fashion industry for nine years, I want to support the brands and pieces that I love and treasure. As an editor at Who What Wear, I typically spend a lot of time looking at new-in products and so every week, I update this story with the pieces that have caught my eye and that really stand out. I usually introduce thi...
7 Zara Outfits That’ll Earn You Instant Compliments
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...
2022 BMW i4 EV Sedan First Look: Big Range, Big Power, Big Grille
The 2022 BMW i4 EV sedan premiered a bit earlier than expected, with the first few exterior photos and even fewer details released during the company’s annual conference in Munich today. It is the latest i model to be introduced under BMW’s electrified sub-brand, which has fielded stuff like the i3 EV hatchback and the i8 plug-in hybrid sports car. The production i4’s styling, it turns out, was accurately previewed by the Concept i4 last year. That said, the sedan’s visual were toned-down substantially, particularly in the headlights and wheels. While the concept looked like an aggressive sport sedan, we were told back then that wasn’t the goal for the production car. As such, the i4 you’ll be able to buy later this year looks like a less-aggressive vers...
Dirt Every Day Builds a Suzuki Samurai Rock Crawler Pickup!
Remember the 100th episode special of Dirt Every Day? Neither did Fred Williams or Dave Chappelle; they kinda forgot where the count was and celebrated the milestone, officially, at 103. But, boy was it a big one! Going to the island of Java in Indonesia to wheel with Fred’s long-time friend, Widodo, and the ProRock Engineering crew in that awesome Daihatsu Taft pickup conversion—fun times. But this is season 10 and it’s time to go bigger and better! How? By building a Suzuki Samurai rock crawler pickup conversion thingy! Hey, the Samurai is marginally bigger than the Taft, so that counts. And Fred and Dave don’t have Widodo and his enormous workshop full of skilled fabricators to do most of the heavy lifting this time. Building Your Own Rock Crawler See all 14 phot...
28 Times That Alexa Chung Proved She Has the Best Hair Ever
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&...
The Classic 2-Part Outfit We’ll Be Wearing All Spring
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...
Can a Ferrari 550 Maranello with a JDM Attitude Readjustment Satisfy?
The 550 Maranello was a Ferrari that wasn’t necessarily on everyone’s wish list. Successor to the Testarossa/512, many felt its shark-mouthed styling was too reserved. Others didn’t think a Ferrari V12 engine belonged ahead of the cabin (myself included). Despite not being mid-engined and having more of a grown-up, touring car appeal, it was still one of the best cars $200K could buy you in the mid-to-late ’90s. Highly praised by journalists, it was more of an elegant coupe you’d spot on a swanky road trip up to Monterey, not something you’d encounter at a testing day at Fuji Speedway, which is what makes this particular 1997 550 Maranello the absolute business.

2021 Chevrolet Blazer RS AWD Review: Set Blazer to Stun
Chevrolet Blazer Full Overview Think of the 2021 Chevrolet Blazer as Michael B. Jordan to the original Chevy Blazer’s Michael Jordan. Much as the actor and former NBA star share the same basic name but are gifted at different crafts, the new and old Blazers bear the same moniker but feature contrasting talents. Just as we know which Michael Jordan we want to watch perform on the silver screen and which we want to watch drop buckets, we know which Blazer we want to drive on twisting tarmac and which we want to take to the trails. Admittedly, the 2021 Blazer is no Camaro or Corvette. Still, the midsize SUV is arguably among the most entertaining options in its segment. Well, at least in Blazer RS guise. The $41,995 RS trim forgoes the four-cylinder engines that power its peers—a 193-hp...

This Pyjama Trend Will Make You Feel Super Fancy
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.
