I’m Getting a Head Start On This 2021 Trend Thanks to This £50 Top
When I wrote Who What Wear’s spring summer 2021 trend report, there was one item that I knew was a look I would try whatever 2021 has in store for us—second-skin tops. These tight, body-skimming rollnecks went viral in 2020 when Adele and Beyonce both wore Marine Serre’s cult moon-print fitted tops and they were also seen at the likes of Miu Miu and Jil Sander. They are surprisingly versatile to style, as you can wear them with high or low waistbands, simply tucked into jeans or layered underneath dresses or chunkier knits. And I’m here for any extra base layers I can get for a winter spent outside. Always ahead of new trending items, you’ll find plenty of second-skin tops in Who What Wear Collection’s latest drop at Zalando. There’s tie-d...
I Love Finding Brands No One Else Knows About—These Are My New Favourites
A year with as fresh a start as this one calls for new names to add to your fashion radar. Allow me! As we embark on a new year with the hope of not only getting dressed again, but getting really dressed up, there is nothing better than adding a meaningful wardrobe addition to your collection. And when I say meaningful, I mean an independent brand or designer. 2020 made one thing clear for me: support small designers as much as possible. This is something I have always felt and could wax poetic about forever, but the impact of shopping small (but mighty) now feels far greater in light of the events of the last year. Not only is it a more sustainable way to shop, but to me there is nothing better than wearing something when you know who made yo...
6 Classic Staples I Always Buy From M&S
Marks & Spencer might be the place you usually head to for socks and sandwiches, but as any fashion expert will know, there are plenty of fab fashion pieces to be discovered there. Priding itself on its classic designs that transcend the generations, M&S has developed a knack for creating basics that will look just as good on everyone, whether you’re 18 or 80. With classic cuts and flattering fits, it really has become our go-to for certain staples that need to stand the test of time. On our shortlist are pieces such as Breton tops, tailored shirts, cashmere knits and flat boots, all of which are guaranteed to look good with everything you own. Best of all? They all come in under £150, which is i...
Report: Jeep Building In-House Customization Facility Near Wrangler Factory
You’ve probably heard of Ferrari Tailor Made (and other programs like it) where prospective owners go to make their (already quite special) cars even more so, crafting one-of-a-kind creations with special details and unique paint schemes. It looks like Jeep is working on its own version of the concept. How do we know? A deal between Fiat Chrysler and the city of Toledo for a plot of land that will be used for a customization facility was announced on Friday. According to The Toledo Blade, the city of Toledo will sell FCA a plot of land just a few miles from Jeep’s assembly plant there (where the Wrangler and Gladiator are currently built). The sale price? A measly $1, as an incentive for FCA’s investment in the community. FCA, in turn, plans to build a 250,000-s...
2021 Ford Expedition XL STX: No Third-Row Seat, Huge Cargo Hold
Say you want a full-size SUV but not three rows of seating, which usually come standard in sport-utility vehicles so large. Where should you turn? Maybe try the 2021 Ford Expedition XL STX, a new entry-level variant that chucks the big SUV’s third-row seat, leaving only two rows for up to five people (driver included) ahead of a massive, 105-cubic-foot cargo area in the rear. Ditching the Expedition’s rearmost seats takes a chunk of the price out of the equation. The 2021 Expedition XL STX starts at $51,690. The STX’s price is thus $2,815 cheaper than the previous bottom feeder, the $54,505 XLT. Next to saving a few bucks and giving up eight-passenger capacity for five seats, Expedition XL STX buyers give up little else outside of satellite radio and some safety tech. As ...
Trust Me, I’m An Editor—20 Buys That I’m Loving for 2021
As an editor at Who What Wear, I typically spend a lot of time looking at new-in products. So every month, I update this story with the pieces that have caught my eye or that I have saved to my wish list. For winter, more than ever, I’m leaning towards classic, quality pieces that feel really elevated and special, but that I can wear for my more low-key plans. As several warehouses and stores shuttered this year, 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 this spring, 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 height...
9 TV Shows Fashion Girls Will Be Watching in 2021
It’s safe to say that any of us have been glued to our TVs this year more than ever before. While there was no doubt a lot of top-tier shows—Insecure, The Queen’s Gambit, and The Crown come to mind—next year promises to be even better with a great mix of new and returning shows. When it comes to newcomers, one standout is The Pursuit of Love, which stars Lily James and will feature beautiful 1920s and 30s European costumes. Another new show is HBO’s The Gilded Age starring Sex and the City‘s Cynthia Nixon. It’s a period drama set in 1880s New York City (so no Miranda Hobbs in sight). It’s by the creator of Downton Abbey, so our expectations are certainly high for the acting and costumes. Scroll down for a recap of the 10 most stylish shows of 2...
The Outnet’s Epic Clearance Sale Just Started—Here Are My Best Buys
There’s almost nothing we love more than a designer sale drop—especially when the edit is filled with time-tested high-end gems. In case you didn’t know, The Outnet‘s massive sale is here, and there’s up to 80% off. So, yes, it’s a particularly joyous day here at Who What Wear UK. We know from our inside sources that the majority of pieces in the discounted edit have such a low depth of stock that it’s common to only find one of each piece (that’s one of each piece, people). To help you find the best pieces first, we have combed through the lot to bring you the best of the bunch, with plenty of key pieces for the rest of 2021 and beyond. However, this clearance is arguably best for wardrobe staples. Highlights include&...
Katie Holmes Just Sold 2021’s Anti–Skinny Jean Trend to Me
While traditionally the beginning of the year marks award show season with red carpets taking place on almost a weekly basis, it comes as no surprise that January 2021 looks a little different to year’s past. With fancy events and exclusive premieres off the cards for the foreseeable future, we are no longer looking to celebrity style and seeing custom-made designer gowns or shimmering jewels with eye-wateringly high price tags. No, the celeb style of 2021 is far more attainable and honestly, we’re not complaining. Of course, when it comes to star style Katie Holmes is on the top of our watch list, thanks to her running streak of fabulous casual ensembles. While in previous years, Katie Holmes would spend January walking red carpets in designs by ...
Mazda Confirms First EV for U.S., and It’ll Have a Rotary Engine
It’s official: Mazda will soon sell a rotary engine in the United States, though perhaps not in the format we were all hoping for. In an interview with The Detroit Bureau, Mazda North American Operations president Jeff Guyton confirmed that the brand’s MX-30 crossover, originally bound only for Japan and Europe, will come to the U.S. as an electric vehicle with a rotary-engine range extender. “For the U.S. market,” Guyton told TDB, “the range extender would be more appropriate.” We asked Mazda for more information, and the company confirmed: “Mazda is committed to continuing to innovate and delivering an engaging driving experience. With that in mind, we can confirm we will bring our first electric vehicle, the MX-30, to the U.S. market. The vehicl...
Sweet 16 (Cylinders): Three V-16 Classic Cars Hit the Auction Block
Sick of the wheezy four-cylinder in your family commuter? We don’t blame you. With gas still (relatively) cheap and internal combustion still legal, it just might be time to let your quarantine-length hair down and upsize to something a bit more Jurassic. We say skip the Scat Pack and to hell with the Bimmer V-12; it’s time to quadruple your cylinders with one of three V-16 flavors available at RM Sotheby’s upcoming Arizona sale. Behold—the first and only V-16 supercar ever made. Yes, ever-ever. Don’t cite the Bugatti Veyron and Chiron, either—those billionaire bruisers rumble around Monaco with a “W-16” cylinder configuration that’s conceptually a bit like two inline-fours smashed together on each cylinder bank rather than two V-8s welded down the...
I’m Obsessed With Skincare, But This Unassuming £11 Product Is My Most Coveted
No, it doesn’t look like much, and no, it doesn’t smell like a spa and no it absolutely does not promise to totally fix your every skin concern overnight. However, it does remove every last trace of dirt and makeup from your face with zero fuss. It also smells somewhat comforting and promises to totally change the way you approach your evening skincare routine due to how remarkably easy and fuss-free it is to use. The state of my skin has been a real annoyance over the last few years—sometimes it would be plagued with spots, while a few weeks later, it would switch in a second and become insufferably dry. With some products only worsening the issue, this situation has made the process of selecting skincare a little difficult to say the least. My only constant throughout the last four or so...
