Everything Is Better in Cashmere, and These 25 Items Prove It
When it comes to our wardrobes, one of the things we’ve discovered this year is that everything is better in cashmere. Yes, that is the bougiest sentence I’ve ever written. Okay, in reality, most of us can’t afford to cocoon our lives in this luxurious fabric, but boy, are we going to daydream about it on cold dark winter evenings. For now, we’ll just have to make do with the odd piece here and there, and to be honest, we’re okay with it. Conveniently, there has been an inundation of cashmere on the market this season, but this is far more than your average crew neck: We’re talking dresses, trousers, coats and accessories all in the cosiest fabric you can imagine. More than ever, there’s a great selection to be found on the high street from brands...
5 Stylish Women Just Gave Me Their Interiors Wish Lists
I don’t know about you, but interiors are all I can think about right now. It’s unsurprising, really, considering we’re all spending a lot more time at home so we’re all keen to improve our surroundings. Sales of candles, furniture and DIY goods have gone up in the past year, especially since the beginning of lockdown in March. Like most people, I can find interiors a little overwhelming. Yes, it’s highly personal but I always find looking at other people’s tastes and homes incredibly useful for honing my own living space. So, I did what we love to do at Who What Wear: I decided to ask some of the people I follow on Instagram about what’s on their dream interiors wish lists. All of the five women I spoke to have different tastes when it comes to t...
The Buick GL6 Is an Uber Black-Ready Luxury Minivan
SUVs overtook minivans as the people-mover of choice a long time ago, but there are still plenty of posh minivan options out there. Unfortunately, not all of them are available on our shores. This Buick minivan could give high-end versions of the Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey, and Chrysler Pacifica a run for their money if it were offered in the United States, though. Buick calls its refreshed GL6 a multi-purpose vehicle, a more palatable term for minivan. Whatever you want to call it, this Buick features plenty of tech goodies. It comes with two connected widescreen displays—kind of like what Mercedes offers in its luxury vehicles. The Buick’s instrument cluster is fully digital, while the touchscreen infotainment system offers a split display setup so you can handle functions such as medi...
If Porsche’s 919 Le Mans Racer Had a Successor, It’d Be This Vision 920
For four years, the Porsche 919 Hybrid competed in the LMP1 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Porsche, however, pulled the plug on the three-time Le Mans-winning racer following the 2017 season and instead focused its racing efforts elsewhere (such as Formula E). The 919 Evo, free of racing restrictions, set some records and made some headlines, but that wasn’t the end of Porsche design’s ambitions for the 919. Not only did Porsche designers work on a street iteration of the 919, but the team also envisioned an informal replacement for it—a preview, perhaps, of a future racer. Dubbed the Vision 920, this low-slung Porsche explored a concept for an exotic supercar for the streets, or a racing vehicle for privateers. In other words, you’re looking at Porsche’s thinking about wha...
2022 Honda Civic Teaser Photos and Video! It’s Your Civic Duty to Look
We’re eagerly awaiting the debut of the 2022 Honda Civic in late spring of next year. Until the calendar rolls over from 2020 to 2021, Honda is whetting our appetites with a Civic prototype being fully unveiled next week, making this a tease of a preview of the real car. Lest you think it’s too far removed from the Civic you can buy next year, keep in mind that Honda regularly unveils “concepts” and show cars that are thinly veiled looks at the eventual production model. In the video below, Honda reveals glimpses of the Civic prototype, including its new headlights and redesigned black grille that pairs smartly with black wheels. We get some our biggest hints in the rear of the car, with the video confirming Honda has ditched the current Civic’s exaggerated C-shaped...
GTO OMG! Audi RS 6 GTO Concept Is a Rad Nod to an ’80s Classic
The acronym GTO, or Gran Turismo Omologato, is commonly associated with Ferrari and Pontiac. However, the GTO moniker has been affixed to other cars, too. The Audi 90 Quattro IMSA GTO is one such example, and today it’s been reimagined as the Audi RS 6 GTO. A group of Audi design students, led by the brand’s head of design, were tasked with reimagining the 90 Quattro IMSA GTO to celebrate 40 years of Quattro. What they came up with is a modern-day homage to the iconic race car. Details from the original car, such as the white center-lock wheels and huge side-exit exhausts, are featured on the new concept. The RS 6’s body is also widened, which gives the wagon a little extra menace—something it hardly needed. Additionally, the front bumper cover features a larger grille, t...
All the Iconic Princess Diana Outfits We Want to See on The Crown
There’s no doubt that 2020 has been the year of the streaming service, with Netflix, Amazon and iPlayer saving us in the evenings and weekends. But if you’re finding that you’ve finished Tiger King, Normal People, Selling Sunset and Emily in Paris, then we have good news: The Crown is returning and this time it’s with the addition of Princess Diana. Played by Emma Corrin, we already know some of the iconic outfits we’ll get to see, including her wedding dress created by Elizabeth Emanuel. It’s hardly surprising that most of the headlines about the show’s new season focus on the late royal. Princess Diana’s style has been examined endlessly, and the obsession with her clothes shows no sign of slowing down. A few years ago, Off-White‘s S...
These Feel-Good Knits Will Instantly Elevate Any Outfit
Rule number one of dressing for the English winter? Never underestimate the outfit-transforming powers of a statement knit. It’s a tenet that is sure to become increasingly relevant as we enter our first winter with the backdrop of social distancing and as jumpers start to become a key source of creativity (especially if Zoom has anything to do with it). While in previous years coats were the hero item of the colder months, it feels as though the limitations on outdoor events and commuting will mean that what lies beneath will get all the attention. More often than not, I’ll throw on a jumper at some point during the day when I’m working from home, but there’s something about a bright colour or fun print that makes the process so much more enjoyable. Simple jeans a...
2022 Ford E-Transit Van First Look: Stealthy Delivery Van
The second installment in Ford’s $11.5 billion investment in electrification is scheduled to hit the road in late 2021. The 2022 Ford Electric Transit, or E-Transit will follow this fall’s Mach-E and precede the electric F-150, which is scheduled for mid-2022. The Transit has been a global best seller for much of its 55-year life with over 10 million sold, and the new fully electric variant will ensure that it can continue to deliver goods and services as dense metropolitan areas transition to emissions-free zones. And Ford’s unique selling proposition in a burgeoning electric cargo van market that will soon be joined by the Rivian Amazon Prime Van and Bollinger Deliver-E van is its Sync 4-based Connected Fleet Management Tools and decades in the commercial vehicle space. Electric Powertra...

Steve Aoki Has Designed His Own Topps Baseball Trading Cards
The custom, cake-themed Topps cards highlight some of Aoki’s favorite baseball players. Steve Aoki is well-known globally as one of the biggest names in EDM, but some may also know him as a diehard baseball fan. He even famously tossed out a ceremonial first pitch using a miniature cake at a Los Angeles Dodgers game in 2015. Now, Aoki has been drafted by premier baseball card brand Topps to design a custom collaborative set of Major League Baseball trading cards. The “Topps X Steve Aoki” limited edition series of baseball cards will be released weekly in series of 25 cards plus one parallel, which are printed on demand and only available for one week.

Ganni’s Trending Summer Dress Just Got a Winter Update
If there was one designer dress that got the most love over the course of summer 2020, it would have to be Ganni’s seersucker midi dress. Flattering (thanks to the smocked bust), stylish, and coming in a range of feel-good shades, it quickly gathered a legion of fans who wore it out and about during this year’s heatwave. As is often the case with our favourite summer dresses, the moment autumn arrived, we wished there was a cold-weather version of the Ganni gem. Well, the brand has just answered our fashion prayers. Coming in the same fit, length, and checked fabric, the winter iteration features longer sleeves, which makes it perfect for cooler days. This baby is just begging to be worn with this season’s track-sole boots, a roll-neck, and a duvet coat—perfect for a chi...
