Trust Us—This Ganni Item Is Going to be a Cult Buy
It is certainly no secret that I am not the biggest fan of cold weather (growing up in Australia tends to have that effect). Though in recent weeks, I have found myself becoming quite partial to cold climate accessories. Yes, from Chanel’s cult-favourite logo tights to Bottega Veneta’s chunky boots, the right accessories seem to be the perfect antidote to the weather I claim to detest. Thankfully, this season there are several items around that will not only keep you warm throughout autumn and winter but will also act as stylish additions to any outfit. And the most prominent of which has to be Ganni’s knitted beret. Between Lucy Williams, Emili Sindlev, Nnenna Echem and more, Ganni’s new accessory seems to have garnered quite the fashiona...
This Is Exactly How We Want to Be Wearing Checks in 2020
If we were to tell you that checks are trending this autumn, we’re willing to bet you’d hardly be surprised. After all, as a pattern often designated for button-down shirts, plaid blazers, and cosy shackets, you’d think that it was the official print of the season. However, while check is certainly trending, we’ll have you know that this year the traditional print has had a decidedly modern update. Making much more of a statement than checks of years past, the print has been given a vibrant makeover, appearing in a kaleidoscope of colours across luxury, high-street, and contemporary brands this year. Though check is often associated with shades of black or grey, this season, we’re seeing iterations of rainbow checks as well as the print in bri...
20 Autumn Buys That I’m Loving This October
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 autumn, 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 2020 plans, including walks, afternoons in the pub with friends, and working at home. 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 year, but even a like on Instagram or a message of support can provide a boost for these brands. I certainly don’t want ...
2021 Ram 1500 10th Anniversary Edition Boasts Southwest-Inspired Luxury
Nowadays, most pickup-truck buyers expect as much comfort as they do capability. Fortunately for FCA’s efforts to woo such customers, the 2021 Ram 1500 has one of the nicest interiors in its class, and it’s about to get another luxurious option: a new special edition that brings an American Southwest theme to the truck’s exterior and interior. The 10th Anniversary Edition celebrates the decade since Ram was spun off from Dodge as its own standalone brand. It’s based on the Limited Longhorn, previously called Laramie Longhorn, but regardless of what you call the trim, the resulting truck is pretty posh and packs plenty of exterior chromework. Open the doors of the new special edition, and you’ll find an interior swathed in Mountain Brown, too. See all 10 p...
2021 Jaguar XF First Look: A Little Bit XJ
Although we love the current Jaguar XF‘s sharp looks and excellent handling, its underwhelming infotainment system and interior quality leave us wanting. Luckily, Jag’s midsize sedan gets a major overhaul for 2021 that should help give the aging cat another life. Sadly, the XF Sportbrake is not mentioned in the 2021 update, which leads us to believe it’s likely gone for good in the United States. A moment of silence, please. 2021 Jaguar XF: Fresh Looks for an Aging Cat We’ll start with the 2021 XF‘s new face, which adopts a number of styling measures that also appear on the recently refreshed 2021 Jaguar F-Pace crossover. This includes new blade-like LED running lights LED daytime running, grille, front and rear bumpers, and taillights. Keen eye...
Korean Supermodel Irene Kim Launches Capsule Collaboration Project With TikTok
The combination of TikTok’s playful world and Irene’s vibrant aesthetics are said to encourage individuality and carry the important message of spreading positivity, especially during 2020’s difficult times. The #GoodFriendChallenge was created to capture the spirit of friendship and invite users to co-create with friends and share viral-worthy moments.

7 Ways I’m Wearing a Gucci Belt This Autumn
When it comes to shopping, I’m that person who spends hours trying things on in the changing rooms and generally flits about looking confused. I’ll pick something up and carry it around for a little while, hoping that somehow a decision will be made via osmosis, before decisively placing it back on the rail, only to pick it up again 10 minutes later. However, I like to think that the reason for all this dithering about is that I only want to buy things that I’m actually going to wear. It was with this flip-flopping mindset that I sat at my laptop a few months ago contemplating Gucci logo belts. It had been on my mind for a while, and I was lucky enough to get a voucher for Browns, so it suddenly became ...
If You’re in a Hair Rut, These 10 Easy Looks Are the Ultimate Cure for Autumn
As someone who was nicknamed “the blonde ponytail girl” in elementary and middle school, I know a thing or two about unwavering hair ruts. In fact, I spend about 90% of my life with my hair (still) styled in a ponytail, and if I’m feeling really crazy, I’ll opt for a topknot or braid. So, yes. In a way, I’m selfishly writing this article as a self-help guide for my less-than-adventurous hairstyling aesthetic. Fall is just around the corner, and there’s no better time to step up or switch up your beauty MO than a change in season. That said, I want to be realistic. I definitely don’t want to spend more than 10 or 15 minutes on my hair, and given the nature of 2020, I can’t be bothered with any over-the-top looks. (My quarantine ...
Byredo Makeup Is Finally Here, and It’s Just as Beautiful as I’d Hoped
But then I actually saw them in the flesh and got touchy, feely, and all of my preconceptions went straight out of the window. The Colour Sticks appear at first to be multi-purpose sticks ideal for creative types that like to paint their faces like true artists, however when you get up close and personal with them, they are so much more. Sure you can use them as creative crayons, but you can also utilise them in a much more wearable way, too. Of course, there is the odd bright, electric shade, but the majority are seriously wearable. Think browns, nudes and pinks that can be worn day or night, making them the perfect makeup choice for those, like me, who don’t want to spend too much time on their faces in the morning. Simply pick your shade, scribble over lids, dab onto cheeks and blot ont...
Cyberpunk 2077’s Dystopian Quadra Sports Car Becomes Reality
Drink too many Rockstar Energy drinks while playing video games and you just might find yourself confusing the digital world with the real one. That’s one theory behind the creation of this video game car come to life. Another is that it simply looked too rad to leave to the virtual realm. Dubbed the Quadra, this seemingly post-apocalyptic sports car cribs its name and styling from vehicles featured in the upcoming (and highly anticipated) video game Cyberpunk 2077, an open-world action title set in a dystopian city. Credit Rockstar Energy’s Rockstar Performance Garage for bringing the Quadra to life. See all 27 photos Starting with a low-mileage (just 37,000 miles!) 1970 Ford Mustang fitted with a 4.9-liter V-8, the team at the Rockstar Performance Garage made myriad updates t...
Dodge “Pisses Excellence,” Features L’il Ricky Bobby in New Commercial
“Remember my motto?” asks Reese Bobby. “Wake up in the morning and piss excellence!” answers a child Ricky Bobby while driving a Dodge Charger in a new ad campaign that riffs on the 2006 movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. The boast isn’t just a casual reference to the movie—it nods to the very reason for the ad: Dodge was surprised to learn it came first in two recent J.D. Power studies on initial quality and driver appeal in the same year, a first for a domestic brand in decades. FCA executives told us they were emailing one another within seconds of the news asking if they should do a commercial to tout the milestone—a decision in the affirmative was made immediately, but it created a dilemma. The J.D. Power honorifics are serious big-boy awa...
Lamborghini’s Upcoming Roofless Track Car Teased by Squadra Corse
Although we know little about this latest Lambo, we expect it to share much of its mechanical bits with the Essenza SCV12. As such, power will come courtesy of a naturally aspirated V-12 engine with north of 830 horses, which are sent to the rear wheels by way of a six-speed gearbox. Whether buyers of this Squadra Corse-developed model will be able to take the car home with them is something we’ll have to wait to find out about, too. Essenza SCV12 owners leave their vehicles with Lamborghini, as the company stores the cars in a specially built hangar in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy, when not in use. You might remember “owners” of the Ferrari FXX track-only car have a similar arrangement with Ferrari. See all 19 photos Regardless, those interested in this upcomi...
