11 Editor Outfits That Prove You Can Be Both Comfy and Stylish
We’re now six months into our new, and undeniably surreal, routines, and for team Who What Wear that has meant adjusting to a new at-home work set-up, swapping heeled boots and tailoring for elasticated waistbands and cosy jumpers. While the novelty of wearing gym kit all day lasted a good month (or two), we quickly realised that having a work ‘outfit’ of sorts was essential to creating a rhythm to our days and establishing a healthy work-life balance. They might not look like our usual office ensembles, but these WFH pairings still possess a certain ‘pulled-together’ finish that make us feel a little more ready for the day ahead. This will manifest in different ways for different peop...
Katie Holmes’ Mango Joggers Are The Perfect WFH Staple

I’m Picky, But These Beauty Buys Live Up to My High Expectations
In the world of beauty – where products promising longer lashes, tighter skin, and fuller lips are launched almost daily – loyalty can be a hard thing to come by. It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of seeing your favourite influencer wearing the latest cult lipstick and, as such, forget about the lipsticks you’ve loved for so long. I too have fallen hard for the razzle-dazzle of new products in the past; hype, it turns out, is a powerful thing. But the products that are worth knowing are the ones that remain in-demand once the confetti settles and the spotlight dims. As such, I came to the decision that I’d no longer buy new products on impulse. Instead, I think about the products I already use—can they actually be improved on? Is the grass truly greener on ...

Kygo Sinks Investment Into Plant-Based Chicken Company
Kygo isn’t chicken when it comes to investing. Following his purchase of a minority stake in a top-selling Finnish alcohol company, Kygo has made another splash in the food and beverage industry thanks to an investment in daring, the leader in clean plant-based chicken. His early-stage investment arm, Palm Tree Crew Investments, helped close an $8 million Series A funding round for the company to foster its mission to remove chicken as a form of animal protein from our food system and replace it with a more sustainable, plant-based option. According to Business Wire, the funding round was led by Maveron, a prominent Seattle-based venture capital firm founded by former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz and investment banker Dan Levitan. In addition to KygoR...
This French Girl Just Taught Us How to Dress Like a Parisian for Autumn 2020
In Paris, we have to do a lot of walking. That’s why everything is chic but still very practical. I swear: Every Parisian woman owns trainers, Chelsea boots, and a trench coat, and that’s mostly what we pair with jeans. Recently, I’ve also been seeing lots of cardigans and sleeveless knit vests—which seem like the perfect transitional piece—paired with jeans. The key is really making simple, minimal pieces still feel interesting. For me, it’s all about colour combinations, fabrics, and fit; and then adding a finishing touch with great accessories. If I have a plain T-shirt and jeans with a brown belt, I’ll pair that with a brown coat or match my T-shirt to my outerwear for a tonal look that keeps things modern. I have to say, Gap does some of my favourite T-shirts. They’re slightly thicker...
These Are the 23 Results-Driven Moisturisers You Need to Know
It seems that serums have stolen some of the spotlight away from moisturisers. There’s always a new serum or treatment that grabs the attention of beauty fans, but when’s the last time you heard someone raving about a moisturiser? Honestly, though, if you find a high-performance moisturiser that you get on with, then your skin is in for a treat. Unfortunately, the most results-driven ones in the bunch can usually be found in anti-ageing category, a term that surely we need to move past now. But as our skin changes over the course of our lives, our product requirements also change. Ultimately, what we’re looking for here are moisturisers that actually do the job and can team up with us to work with our skin concerns. Everyone has their thing, whether that...
Dodge Durango SRT vs. Ford Explorer ST: Battle of the Three-Row Speed Demons
Hot-rod Euro SUVs are great fun and all, but what if you’re looking for three rows and to spend about half the average base price of, say, the super-utes in this recent comparison test? You can rule out smaller two-row European SUVs such as the Audi SQ5, BMW X3 M, or Mercedes-AMG GLC SUV. And among three-row options, Audi’s SQ7 starts at $85,795, BMW’s X7 M50i commands $100,595, and the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 surely won’t be cheaper than the outgoing model, which stickered for $126,150. So you’ll be needing to buy American. May we suggest one of these two Yankee high-po utes, the Dodge Durango 4 SRT 392 or the Ford Explorer ST? See all 36 photos You should know that a Ford Explorer ST with all the boxes ticked just tops $65,000 (from a base of $55,...
California Plans to Ban New Gas, Diesel Cars by 2035
After a few years of maneuvering by climate-change activists and green-minded legislators, Governor Gavin Newsom of California issued an executive order [click the link to view the order as a PDF] on Wednesday directing the state to require that all new vehicles on sale there in 2035 have zero emissions. The California Air Resources Board, which sets the state’s vehicle emissions standards, will actually promulgate the eventual rule that Newsom calls for. This executive order targets private passenger cars and trucks, as well as formulates a requirement that medium- and heavy-duty vehicles reach the same zero-percent target by the later date of 2045. There’s language that allows some flexibility for the proposals due to technological feasibility and cost-effectiveness. It&...
Consider This Your Ultimate Toolkit To Combat Autumn Dryness
Forget about the leaves falling, the crispness of the air and pumpkin and cinnamon flavoured everything. A sure way to work out if its nearly autumn or not, is in the gradual arrival of dry areas. Lips, knees, elbows and hands, all succumb to autumnal dryness. I’m not sure if it’s all the staying at home or hand-washing, but I’ve been plagued by all of these new patches of dryness. The wonderful upside is that some of my all-time favourite products are lip balms, hand creams and multi-purpose balms. Ever since my mum taught me when I was younger to use hand cream after every single hand wash and before bed, I’ve been hooked. The same goes for lips, I always have at least three lip balms on my person at all times and I’m rotating between a few do-it-...
