8 Items Every London Girl Has in Her Winter Wardrobe
Getting dressed during winter might seem difficult when you compare it to the easy cotton-dress–and-sandal styling of summer, but there’s no need to be daunted by it. While your ensembles will require a little more thought (owning to the fact you need to make being warm a priority), it’s incredibly easy to look chic and remain cosy when you have a well-curated capsule to fall back on. That’s where we come in. We looked to London, the British fashion epicentre, to see exactly what the capital’s best-dressed residents are sporting this winter. From the coat that’s usually found in the countryside to the boot trend that makes every outfit look instantly more expensive, keep scrolling to shop the winter fashion trends that have taken London by storm. You Deserve t...
The Affordable Brand Our Editors Get All Their Basics From
If you asked us which high-street store we’d be lost without, you probably wouldn’t think we’d say Uniqlo. Yes, we love a bit of Topshop, Zara and H&M for topping up on our trends, but recently we realised that everyone on the Who What Wear UK team’s wardrobes is built around basics from this affordable brand. When we chatted about it, everyone had a different item they swore by Uniqlo for, from the Extra-Fine Merino Crew-Neck Sweater that’s a personal favourite (I own no fewer than four colourways) to the best fleeces in the business (yes, fleece is back, people). We almost didn’t want to give this one away for fear of our favourites constantly selling out, but we’re nice like that. The secret to shopping Uniqlo like a fashion editor seems to be to size up to get that expensive-...
2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Pros and Cons Review: Lunch Money Stealer
Ford Mustang Full Overview Often, history is made simply by breaking a cycle. Sounds easy enough, but sometimes a thing hasn’t been done for a good reason. The GT500 has never been the best Mustang, just the one with the biggest engine. Not anymore. The 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has changed history. “This car is the ultimate expression of what the American pony car can be,” pro racer Randy Pobst said after only driving it on the street. After driving it on the track: “God, that thing pins you to the seat running from corner to corner. It hooks up very, very well. That impresses me tremendously. Ford Performance has done a terrific job of setting up that chassis to put down power. I’m in love with the car.” “Now, this is what a proper Best Driv...
MotorTrend Best Driver’s Car 2020: The Contenders!
Well, 2020 has been different, that’s for sure. As a result, the MotorTrend Best Driver’s Car is a bit different, as well. Having to work around a pandemic, we had to shrink our field of contenders and the number of judges. That said, those cars we cut likely wouldn’t have cracked the upper echelon of vehicles we kept. And those cars (and one SUV) that remained were such a closely knit group that picking a winner might have actually been more difficult than it would have been otherwise. So here you have them, the 2020 MotorTrend Best Driver’s Car contenders, with this page updated with a fresh batch of links to each one until we announce the winner on December 30. Be sure to click through, as every story features video of that car’s hot lap put down by our on-...
I Have a Feeling This Is Going to Be the Biggest Beauty Product of 2021
Used by beauty editors, dermatologists and celebrities far and wide, C E Ferulic is the gold standard of vitamin C products. Results are almost instantly noticeable, and it gives skin a healthy radiance that really can’t be beaten. The price tag is enough to make you wince (hard), but the truth is, in my experience, when it comes to vitamin C, you get what you pay for. The only issue I have with it? It’s not perfect for those with oily skin, like myself. While its additional moisturising properties are great for mature or drier skin types, it’s just too heavy for my breakout-prone complexion. So, while I have been reaping the benefits of the vitamin C in C E Ferulic for some time, its oily nature does contribute to congestion. Because of this, for years I have watched on as people wit...
Every Piece You Need to Re-Create Katie Holmes’s Cool Capsule Wardrobe
With no runway shows, film premieres, gallery opening nights, and swanky industry parties to attend, 2020 has all but cancelled out celebrity street style. Like the rest of us, the A-list have scarcely ventured outside their homes, save for a couple of coffee runs, workout sessions, and grocery shops. However, there’s one sartorially-blessed actress who has been serving up effortlessly stylish this year, all while adhering to distancing restrictions and with a mask in tow. Of course, we’re talking about Katie Holmes. We need not remind you of the fashion frenzy that ensued in 2019 after she stepped out wearing a knitted bralet and cardigan combination from cool-girl brand Khaite, which subsequently became cult. Since then, Katie has been very much on our style radar and, ...
The Simple Outfit Fashion Girls Wear on Repeat in Winter
In the world of fashion, colour trends come and go; one minute, the runway will be lauding one specific hue but, the next, influencers will seem to synchronise the wearing of another shade. This is because colour trends are one of the easiest to tag on to as, unless it’s a completely niche tone, you’ll likely find something in your wardrobe to match. However, what if we were to tell you that the latest colour fix fashion girls are wearing is something we guarantee you already own? White has always held a special place in our hearts. Whether it’s in the form of a luxe chunky knit or a pair of sleek trousers, somehow, wearing this shade in any guise makes us feel significantly chicer—so imagine the polishing effects of wearing it top-to-toe. Th...
The 5 Items Our UK and US Editors Have on Their 2021 Wish Lists
Something I’m often asked is, who do editors go to for fashion advice? Naturally, I rely on my friends just like anyone else—they’re more honest than a mirror and have saved me from buying things in a moment of pure sartorial lust that, in hindsight, I know I would have regretted. Then, of course, there are other editors; my colleagues whose tastes I trust implicitly. In fact, at the start of any new season, I’m always keen to learn which pieces have caught their eye—it is, after all, an editor’s job to tell you which buys are the best. So, I decided to do just that—ask Who What Wear’s editors from both sides of the Atlantic which items are on their new season wish lists. As a treat, I’ve shared their suggestions with you below. Essentially a master document featuring every not...
This Sustainable Lipstick Brand Has Some Seriously Wearable Shades
I try a lot of lipsticks and while I’ve got everything I need in the red, plum, nude, matte and creamy departments, I’m lacking in one. I’m not a fan of the use of the marketing term ‘clean beauty’–as there’s yet to be a consistent definition across brands for it. However, I’m a big fan of beauty brands who go beyond the semantics. Brands who are thoughtful about the ingredients they use and most importantly have a transparent and sustainable supply chain. That’s where my lipstick collection is lacking. I’ve been in the market for one that does all of the above but also has an incredible formula, sleek packaging and wearable shades. I’m not gonna lie its been pretty difficult, but thanks to HIGHR, the sustain...
I Asked the Experts—These Will Be 2021’s Defining Interior Trends
There are many things we’re looking to leave behind us in 2020, but our obsession with interiors isn’t one of them. For most of us, our homes have become our places of work as well as our havens of rest. As such, it’s understandable that elevating our spaces has become a priority. Still, that doesn’t mean that your quest to achieve interiors nirvana needs to be over. For now, on the cusp of a new year, fresh interiors trends are starting to emerge. With our interests piqued, we decided to ask those in the know what they think 2021’s big interior trends will be. We consulted with Charmaine White, founder and interior designer at The White House Interiors, Matthew Tranter, founder of architectural and interiors visualisation s...
This £35 & Other Stories Knit Keeps Selling Out
& Other Stories has always had one of the strongest knitwear sections on the high street; from cult-status varsity jumpers to sought-after cable-knit cardigans, whatever woolly moment you’re looking for, you’re sure to find it here. However, one of my favourite toasty finds is its mock neck jumper; a straight-fit knit sweater with what the brand calls a “mock neck”—a high neckline that isn’t bulky and that doesn’t roll over itself. The jumper itself is not oversized, nor is it fitted; it’s simply the perfect cut for layering over dresses and blouses, or for tucking into the front of your jeans or a skirt alike. The off-shoulder seams loan to the overall relaxed feel, making it the ideal throw-on for days in the house as well as a cosy extra lay...
If Low-Maintenance Beauty Is Your Thing, Try These Speedy Makeup Tips
In recent years beauty and make-up grew significantly more complicated. Between the beauty YouTuber phenomenon and the transformative powers of contouring, makeup is far from low-maintenance these days. And, let’s face it, we’ve more than enjoyed experimenting. Still, there’s also demand for simpler, easy-to-do make-up for the days when you just don’t want to do that much (if ever). Low-maintenance beauty is my thing—especially this year when my social activity has dramatically reduced. On a day-to-day, I try to do my best off-duty model impression with neat brows, a quick slick of concealer, and blush. The idea isn’t to be perfect but presentable and refreshed. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating...
