However, thanks to Bottega Veneta, the chunky boot has been flourishing over the last 12 months, and it’s gone from being a niche shoe offering to something that is available in a variety of iterations from both high street and designer brands. There’s so much to choose from: You’ve got the ‘extra’ Chelsea boot, which typically comes with dramatic calf-grazing height, classic lace-ups for those craving a ’80s punk vibe, and of course, there’s the don’t-mess-with-me XXL variety, inspired by Prada’s viral Beatle boots. These statement-making (yet no less practical) styles are your cold weather answer to 2020’s velcro sandal: i.e. they’re an easy way to...

I’m not sure if this is a universal feeling, but for me, autumn will always be epitomized by the colourful shades of fallen leaves. From earthy natural tones of orange, brown and yellow, there’s something about seeing those colours that immediately makes me think of the season. The same applies to clothes. From a tailored beige coat to navy jeans or a cream button-down shirt, there are certain items of clothing and certain sartorial colour palettes that just exemplify autumn. And Patone, the authority on all things colour, tends to agree. As per their list of important colours for Autumn/Winter 2020, the brand has listed shades of off-white, caramel beige, deep blue and slate gray amongst their top classic colours. Add into that the ever-present shade of burnt o...
If you’re even remotely interested in video games or have simply been on the Internet lately, you’ve likely heard of the newest pop culture sensation Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. Trading out guns and violence for whimsical obstacle courses filled with giant fruit, slime, and adorable jelly bean characters, the game is a refreshing change of pace from the now-familiar battle royale recipe. Almost as addicting as the gameplay is its cheerful soundtrack from Finland’s Jukio Kallio and Daniel Hagström. Bubbly and upbeat, the original offering complements the light-hearted nature of the game perfectly. Those looking for something with a little more bite to accompany their gaming are in luck after Aweminus dropped a dubstep flip of the ...
The most important relationship is the one with yourself We all have something to give Vision without action is just a day dream Those who matter don’t mind I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be There is no such thing as a finish line The only way out is through Hustle until your haters ask if you’re hiring Get comfortable with being uncomfortable We’re all just stories in the end, just make sure yours is a good one Be yourself, everyone else is already taken Expect nothing and Appreciate everything Trust the timing of your life No one is you, and that is your power Self-love is not selfish And there she was off to change the world No rain no flowers Be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody Accept what you can’t control There are no mistakes only lessons ...
Is the new Mercedes-Benz G-Class just a bit to glitzy for your liking? Maybe the once hardcore mil-spec go-anywhere do-anything utility vehicle has been sanitized by the addition of all that leather and comfort. Or maybe the new G is just a bit too pricey. Either way, if you’re one of the people who longs for something a bit more rugged and rustic than anything Mercedes offers here, and you happen to live in Southeast Asia, you might want to take a look at the Force Gurkha. It isn’t some crazy million-dollar G-Wagen restomod. Instead, it’s an unrelated but rugged vehicle that draws inspiration from the famous Mercedes off-roader. There are a couple of engine options, including a turbocharged 2.2-liter inline four-cylinder diesel engine that makes 140 horsepower and 237 lb...

“The coat of dreams” is quite the comment to see as you’re scrolling through Instagram in the morning, but that’s one of the first things I spotted as I was doing my initial scroll of the day. The comment in question was referring to an item from, you guessed it, Zara—oversized, double-breasted pastel blue coat. The high-street store has just dropped a new autumnal collection of coats and jackets and there’s no escaping the fact that they’ve once again done a great job of it. I personally own a checked blazer that I’ve had for nearly four years and I still wear it now, so if you’re concerned about longevity, I can tell you these pieces aren’t flash-in-the-pan. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Onli...
Before we dive in, let’s just remember that in reality, skinny jeans could basically be considered a classic at this point. Sure, people may have varying views on the cut, but they’re more or less timeless. That said, a style on the other end of the denim spectrum continues to increase in popularity—and definitely will thrive come fall. Yep, we’re talking about those loose, straight-leg jeans. More specifically, the silhouettes that are especially relaxed. In fact, we recently highlighted this trending fall 2020 denim cut as showcased on the runways. Well today, we thought we’d dive in a bit deeper with some visual inspiration on how fashion people are wearing loose-fitting jeans. With that in mind, keep scrolling for a range of outfit ideas featuring this top-notch denim silhoue...
As anyone who is an avid Who What Wear reader will know, when it comes to looking for outfit inspiration, one of my top tips is to head to those brands that know what they’re doing when it comes to e-commerce styling. It can be tricky to hunt them down, but when you have a list of your favourites, they’re sure to become a go-to when you’re feeling lost for ideas. Joseph is one of my personal highlights, thanks to its luxe approach to basics and elegant pairings, and I have to say that the brand’s autumn/winter looks are the best I’ve seen in a while. From slouchy jumpers paired with silken colour-match trousers and layered cosy co-ords, to white tees tucked into leather trousers and kn...
Urban Decay’s eyeshadow palettes are the stuff of legend. For a brand that was largely known for its rich rainbow of colour (one super-fan even had their car sprayed to match the vibrant hue of her favourite Urban Decay nail polish, the now retired Asphyxia), its 2010 debut of Naked, a 12-shade nude eyeshadow palette, was a gamble; one that certainly paid off. It might have started out as an office brainstorm, but the Naked palette became one the most iconic beauty products of the last decade. Since then, the success of the original palette has spawned an array of iterations; Naked2 (retired), Naked3, Naked Smoky (retired), Naked Basics (retired), Naked2 Basics (my beloved six-shade palette, which I’m buying in bulk incase it also gets retired), Naked Heat, Naked ...
While we can’t expect to flaunt our fits at a festival for quite some time, some of dance music’s biggest acts have dropped new gear to help spice up our quarantine selfies. Just this week, fans were delighted to see new merch from deadmau5, Dillon Francis, and Kaskade. Dillon Francis enthusiasts will be able to purchase items inspired by Gerald the Piñata.
