37 High-Street Pieces That Are Destined for Cult Status
There used to be a time when all the new season items would arrive on the high street in the same week, if not within days of each other, however now the new-in sections are steadily updated and so are less defined by seasons. This means you might not have noticed that this week is when we have seen the real shift towards spring, with many of the complete spring collections now available to buy. This has been a focus for us on Who What Wear over the past seven days, as our editors have been sorting through the thousands of products to bring you concise edits of the best of the best items on the high street right now. Our editors might be able to spot a cult high street buy a mile off, but we also like to crowdsource and see what other people are loving. So for this piece we have ...
The Over-40 Women We Follow Religiously for Style Advice
It goes without saying that the quest for great style doesn’t end when you move into your 40s. Mature fashion influencers, in general, tend to know their style inside-out. They’re not wearing something because it’s now suddenly in; they’re wearing it because it suits them and fits in with their own style and wardrobes. This means one all-important thing that we can learn from: The clothes never wear them. All over Instagram, the over-40 fashion bloggers listed below are making their mark. Sure, you’ll find them in much of our content, but we thought it was high time to spotlight some of our favourite dressers. Not only do they have the most stylish closets going, but they’ve also taught us a thing or two about how to really put t...
I Moved to London Over A Decade Ago—This Is How It Changed My Style
Coming to the UK as a teenager from Singapore wasn’t just an adventure; it was also a chance for me to develop a whole new look. My hometown is better known now for being the setting of Crazy Rich Asians, but back then it felt more like a sleepy backwater than a style destination. In any case, I was too busy using my fingernails to discreetly liberate imported magazines from their security bags in Borders – the bookstore with the biggest supply of imported fashion titles on the island – to notice. I’d smuggle British Vogue, The Face, Dazed & Confused and i-D to the aisle for children’s books and plough through every single issue sat on a made-for-kids floor cushion, ignoring the death stares of five year olds. These days, I can afford to buy my own magazines, but I’ll never forge...
I’ve Been Wearing Running Leggings for 10 Years—These Are the Best
In what will be absolutely no surprise whatsoever, gym wear has seen a boom in the past year. There were reports that the UK could “even face shortages” of sports shoes, trainers and leggings thanks to high demand during the pandemic. Clearly we all became fanatic about working out this past year when it has been one of the only activities we can do. Luckily, as I already run outside, I had my kit ready to go, and I now consider myself something of an expert in what to wear. I’ve been running for over a decade, and so I’ve already honed my running gear down to certain pieces and brands that I rate (including one of the best sports bras I’ve ever worn). Today though, I want to tell you about the best running leggings around—Nike’s running l...

We Just Tried the New Haircare Range From the Stylist Behind Alexa Chung’s Bob
When it comes to hair inspiration, there’s one woman that always springs to mind for chic, low-maintenance hairstyles: Alexa Chung. Yes, ever since she landed on our TV screens almost 15 years ago, Alexa has pretty much been my hair muse. Beachy waves, sweeping fringes, choppy bobs—I’m here for every one of her hairstyles because, let’s be real, Alexa’s hair always looks amazing. However, there’s one trademark hairstyle that has basically become the signature look for cool girls everywhere: the undone bob. The handiwork of none other than beloved British hairdresser, George Northwood. 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...
Buy Ken Block’s Record-Setting Subaru WRX STI, (Potentially) Become Rally Hero
Can you make your car waltz around a city street or wooded backroad like Ken Block? Probably not. Of course, the inability to hold hundred-foot all-wheel-drive slides and place a front wheel within millimeters of a dock drop-off hasn’t stopped tens of thousands of Gymkhana fans from imitating their rally hero, on- or off-camera. Most do so with a modified WRX or Focus ST/RS of their own, but now’s a rare chance at sliding behind the wheel of Block’s own Subie—all you have to do is win the auction. Up for grabs is Block’s old 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX STI (updated to 2006 exterior specs), a fully race-prepped Group N rally car built for his mid-2000s stint in Rally America. In his hands, the little WRX cruised to a handful of victories, including his first-ever ov...
2021 Volkswagen ID4 First Test: VW’s Everyday Electric SUV
Volkswagen ID4 Full Overview Thanks largely to Tesla, manufacturer of the quickest car we’ve ever tested, we’ve come to expect great rapidity from electric vehicles. But if EVs are going to become mainstream (and both governmental and automaker pledges indicate that is going happen eventually, ready or not), then they can’t all be high-priced rocket ships for early adopters. Enter the 2021 Volkswagen ID4, the electric ambassador for the post-“Dieselgate” VW. The ID4 is meant to be a true volks wagen, an everyday SUV for everyday drivers. It’s sized, powered, and almost priced to match conventional compact SUVs such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. 2021 Volkswagen ID4 by the Numbers We’ve got lots to tell you about the new 2021 VW ID4, m...
2021 Toyota Highlander XSE First Test: A Sheep in Sporty Clothing
Toyota Highlander Full Overview Three-row SUVs are becoming so popular, automakers are adding new flavors to satisfy customer’s wants. The 2021 Toyota Highlander XSE is one such example, its XSE spec offering buyers the sportiest-looking version of Toyota’s three-row SUV. And while the XSE shares the same V-6 engine as the rest of the Highlander lineup, Toyota says it tunes the suspension and steering to deliver a sportier and more dynamic drive. Make no mistake, this is no Ford Explorer ST fighter. And don’t even consider lining the Toyota up against the 475-hp Dodge Durango SRT (let alone the 710-hp Durango SRT Hellcat). The ST and Durango SRT models are true performance SUVs, while the 2021 Toyota Highlander XSE simply changes its styling, steering, and suspension tuni...
The Lordstown Endurance EV Pickup Is Going Baja Racing … Sort Of
Update: This article has been updated with additional information, including a rendering of the race truck released by Lordstown. Remember the first time you heard an angry V-8 Trophy Truck romping through the desert? Like a freight train late for a delivery or an irritated elephant trampling the savanna, the rage of a race truck literally shakes the ground—and converts many into off-road believers. Well, as they say, the only constant is change. Soon the ground will shake silently as a pickup truck based on the Lordstown Endurance electric pickup truck will race in the 2021 SCORE International San Felipe 250. Lordstown Motors Corporation plans to build the Endurance at its 785-acre, 6.2 million-square-foot Lordstown Assembly Plant in Lordstown, Ohio. The plant was formerly ...
I Think These 17 Items Make the Perfect Capsule for Summer 2021
We might not be out of puffer coat season just yet, but as soon as Boris Johnson announced the road map for the lifting of restrictions, my mind was wandering straight to thoughts of picnics in the sun, afternoons in beer gardens and the summer dresses I’ll be wearing for this re-entry into society. It seems like I’m not alone as at least half of the memes I saw were talking about outfit planning for June 21st—one excellent tweet I saw compared the level of outfit planning for June to deciding what to wear for a year six disco. So it might not be officially spring just yet, but I can’t help but think forward to summer and start plotting the few pieces I’m going to be adding to my wardrobe. Below I’ve listed the 17 items that I think are a welcome ad...
