Super-Wide and Super-’70s: Freiburger’s Best Internet Find Ever
Who said buying a project vehicle sight unseen was a bad idea? David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan say it all the time, but they usually include a version of, “Do as I say, not as I do,” somewhere while they walk up to their most recent sight-unseen purchase. But this is Roadkill, and it’s business as usual with this most amazing of project vehicles: Welcome the ultra-wide, couldn’t-be-more-’70s 2nd-gen Camaro to the Roadkill fleet! We know, it’s beautiful. Yes, that is (as near as makes no difference) three whole feet of tire section in the rear. No, it isn’t a Pro Street build. No, that doesn’t make it a Pro Touring build, either. So what is this shining example of 1970s ingenuity? Beside being Freiburger’s latest automotive infatuatio...
Chloe x Halle Are Fresh & Vibrant in New Neutrogena Campaign
The “Do It” duo also shared a Q&A on Twitter, celebrating the “dream come true” partnership. “What do we have most in common?” Chloe asked in the three-minute clip, before her twin sister Halle cheekily replied, “Our faces!” “I remember we’d always be obsessed with the iconic face splash, and now, what if we did that? And we could, because we’re the new faces!” Chloe gushed. “We were on tour for three or four years, back-to-back almost,” Halle added of her skincare journey, “And my skin would really just be like, ‘Girl, what are you doing? Where are you?’ So I really kind of got on a rhythm of taking care of my skin and knowing what works for me.” See the full Q&A below, and ...
The One Brand I’m the Most Excited by in 2021
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...
Trust Me—You’ll Spot These 8 Dress Trends In Every Park This Spring
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...
The One Zara Spring Trend That Could Easily Pass as Designer
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.

This Anti-Ageing Product Has So Many 5-Star Reviews—Here’s My Honest Review
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. ...
2022 Ford F-Series Super Duty First Look: Working Smarter
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This applies to the 2022 Ford F-Series Super Duty, a solid hauler that has absolutely nothing in need of fixing. Since the Super Duty received most of its major upgrades for the 2020 model year, the truck will mostly carry-over for 2022, which isn’t a bad thing. It will, however, get infused with some (more) cool technology upgrades. If anyone thinks of new three-quarter- and full-ton trucks as rudimentary, then, well, you’re wrong. These trucks are as technologically-advanced as any automobile on the road and continue to get boosted with more and more techy goodness. Same Super Duty Swagger The F-Series Super Duty—consisting of the F-250, F-350, and F-450—packs a multitude of best-in-class towing, hauling, and performance numbers, w...
This Like-New 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Is a “Mystic” Unicorn
There’s sometimes great irony in a car’s fate. Back in 1996, Ford blew our minds by mothballing the 5.0-liter V-8 and introducing the so-called “Modular” engine family, including the adrenaline injection device that nestled under the hood of the SVT Cobra: a DOHC 4.6-liter V-8 producing a thumping 305 hp. Peakier than its predecessors, the SVT Cobra begged contemporary testers—and, presumably, even strong-willed drivers—to wring it out. Not this one. It may have tempted its owners, who did not submit. As an inanimate object, it couldn’t have hoped to be exercised, although it’s easy to anthropomorphize cars and imagine it to be so. Ever since this Cobra rolled off the line, its previous owners have managed to put just 769 miles on its odometer. That̵...
I’m Impatient, so I’m Already Wearing Spring’s Biggest Nail Colours
When it comes to decorating the nails of the stars, Mazz Hanna knows her way around a famous finger, having polished the talons of Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts, and Nicole Richie. Which nail colour does she think will be a hit this year? “It’s been a while since mint has been on-trend for nails, but prepare to see it everywhere in 2021,” she says. “It’s timeless, seasonless, and looks great on every skin tone. I also think the bare-nail trend will continue into next year, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we continue to see more natural buff and shine and sheer nudes.” Follow Mazz Hanna at @callmemazz.

5 Ways to Wear a Tank Top and Still Look Polished
Dressing over the course of the last year has had an interesting effect on the way we see our wardrobes, specifically, it has highlighted which pieces are the most versatile and hardest-working and which are not. Interestingly, the tank top has emerged as one of the unlikelier heroes of our WFH capsule, and if Instagram is anything to go by, we’re not the only ones who think so. While the power of a well-made basic is hardly breaking news, we’ve particularly enjoyed the streamlined aesthetic of the classic white racer-back tank, which has offered a sporty alternative to the boxy-fit tees that have proliferated over the last few seasons. This is a top that was made to be tucked into high-waisted trousers, floaty midi skirt and knitted joggers, and even l...
36 of the Best Candles to Make Your Home Smell Incredible
While the days are gradually beginning to stretch, we still find ourselves looking for new ways to cosify our homes. And nothing can bestow your rooms with hygge appeal quite like scented candles. Let’s be honest: If there was ever a time for bringing a little extra zen into our households, it’s probably now as we see out what is (hopefully) the last leg of lockdown. Needless to say, it’s challenging to separate your work and home spaces or switch off your mind when you need to, something that is made all the more difficult with the dark nights. But something simple like lighting your favourite candle can be an easy way to change the vibe of a room and get you to that happy place. We all have our little routines, whether it’s having a daily bubble bath or doing an ...
These 5 French Trends Are Now All I Want to Wear
It’s like the fashion designers of Paris came together (virtually, via Zoom) to decree one giant anti-loungewear campaign for autumn/winter 2021—and I’m so glad they did. Providing the very opposite to the comfortable, easy, athleisure-led clothes we’ve all been leaning into over the past year, French brands are putting a firm stop on that for the end of this year, providing cooler-than-ever workwear options, outrageous party dresses and the kind of loud daytime looks that we would never have imagined on the streets of this fashion capital pre-Covid. But that’s what being restricted and trapped in one’s rotation of leggings can do; many of us are now dreaming of something more joyful, more elaborate and more agenda-setting to wear when life stops be...
