5 Loungewear Outfit Ideas I’ve Fallen for This Summer
Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they physically won’t be able to return to jeans once we come out of lockdown? Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I’ve been schlepping around in pyjamas 24/7, but even when I put on a nice blouse, I’ve been pairing it with waist-friendly joggers or knitted trousers. When I wrestled on my favourite jeans last weekend, it felt like I was walking around in a wetsuit. Anyway, I digress. My point is that many of us are finally settling into the joys of loungewear, however that translates into your wardrobe or personal style. And now that summer’s ’round the corner, here at Who What Wear, we’ve been keeping an eye out for outfits that will make us feel comfy, cool and ju...
The Fail-Safe Dress Style Fashion Editors Turn to Every Summer
Ah, the humble midi dress. It is undeniably one of the most versatile items that anyone can have in their wardrobe. Do you need an easy throw-on option for weekday mornings? Choose a midi dress. Are you looking for a way to feel polished but still comfortable? Wear a midi dress. Do you crave the simplicity of an all-in-one outfit? May we suggest a midi dress? Transcending traditional fashion seasons, midi dresses are one of those staples that could be worn for just about any occasion. For example, a black, puff-sleeve midi could easily take you to a formal event with the addition of some heels and jewellery but could also be worn for weekend brunch when paired with sneakers and a denim jacket. As you can see below, the item looks just as good with strappy heels as it does when worn with sa...
30 Items for Those Spending More Time Dressing Tables Than Themselves
These days, many of us are spending more time thinking about how we dress our tables than how we dress ourselves. At the start of lockdown, Laura Jackson started a movement called #makeamealofit, where she encouraged us all to cherish dinner time, whether we are isolating alone, with friends or with family. It’s all about making our evening meals an event to look forward to at the end of the day—taking the time to put down our phones (after taking a tablescape picture, of course), eating something delicious and bringing out those plates or wine that you’d usually only save for fancy occasions. The pictures that she reposts every day show that people are taking as much time putting together their tablescapes as they are preparing their actual dinners. The pi...
Harry Styles’s New Music Video Is Providing So Much Summer Outfit Inspiration
Although frolicking on a beach with 20 of your nearest and dearest and a buffet of fresh fruit may not be a reality this summer, one thing you can emulate from Styles’s clip is its retro-inspired outfits. With a kaleidoscope of colour and quirky accessories—it’s got star-shaped earrings and sunglasses, to boot—the costumes in the video highlight a sort of escapism and a carefree summer attitude we could all benefit from right now. While decidedly vintage in aesthetic, many of the key pieces in the clip are iterations of what can be found online today. Rainbow-hued crochet pieces are readily available at Free People, while Saint Laurent and Christopher Kane have both dabbled in creating heart-shaped sunglasses. Tie-dye prints are everywhere across high-street and desi...

These Zara Candles Were Created by Jo Malone, and They’re Only £16
In fact, much like Jo Loves scents themselves, the Zara Emotions range delivers expensive-smelling scents that evoke a sense of nostalgia that has you going back for more. And now, there are candles for £16, which, might I add, just like the perfumes, have a lingering scent that fills a room in a way only the most expensive do. Honestly, since discovering them, not only have I ordered six of the things, but I have also stopped buying any other candles at all. Because frankly, what’s the point in spending £40 when I can get a Zara one for less than half of the price. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

I’m No Makeup Expert, But These Are the Easy-to-Use Products I Swear By
Don’t get me wrong. I do love playing with makeup, and I know a great product when I see one, but when I compare my results to those of someone with a little more artistic flair, I find myself deflated and somewhat disappointed. And this is by no means news to me. I have been aware of my shoddy makeup skills since the early stages of my career. The minute I found myself surrounded by editors whose eye shadow looks could put even the greatest YouTubers to shame, I knew my place. So in a bid to find my niche in the often-crazy world of makeup, I started focussing my attention on makeup launches that most appealed to me on a personal level. Forget bright eye shadow palettes and complex contour kits. I started educating myself in makeup that anyone can use. You know, the kind of products ...
This Is How to Safely Whiten Your Teeth at Home, According to the Experts
You see, over the last couple of months, not only have my aforementioned dental issues worsened a little, but the appearance of my teeth as a whole has plummeted. Whether it’s because of the amount of tea I have been stress-drinking or just because it’s been a while since my last appointment, my previously pearly whites have descended into a state of yellow-tinged dismay. And I’m desperate to do something about it. Wary that my teeth probably aren’t in a particularly strong state right now, I’m cautious that I should probably speak to a professional before I engage in any sort of at-home teeth whitening. Luckily, I’ve got a few on hand to help. So in a bid to help everyone (myself) get to grips with how to brighten up your pearly whites at home without causing damage, I reached out to thos...
I Just Tried Over 35 Foundations—These Are the Ones I’d Recommend
Usually, I have to undergo several weeks of preparation before I can muster up the mental courage to embark on a foundation shopping trip. The first step is furiously scrubbing off the residual makeup that’s caked on the empty bottle of my foundation to try and decipher the shade name. It’s usually something arbitrary and food-related like cocoa or mocha, but that’s a conversation for another day. Then I make a hit list and map out the brands that I know have more than 10 shades in their range (or at least one that they deem appropriate for darker skin tones). When I finally make it into the shop, I’m already weary by the time I decide which foundations to swatch. Then I find it: a seemingly good match. Well, it’s a good match until I take ...
These £35 Influencer-Approved Shorts Are a Summer Staple
A few weeks ago, Lucy Williams posted a photo of herself to Instagram wearing Arket’s of-the-moment elastic-waist linen shorts. After seeing the image, I immediately found myself clicking over to the brand’s website, desperate to get a pair of my own, knowing full well they’d become a hero summer item I’d wear all season long. To my disappointment, the staple had already sold out in several different colours. Thankfully, Arket knows a thing or two about keeping their customers happy as the label has restocked the popular item in both the black and light beige colourways. An influencer favourite, already this season the shorts have been worn by Lucy Williams and Rachael Clifton of Bubbly Aquarius, proving they are indeed a very hot commodity. Th...
