I’m Fussy About Workout Clothes, But These 9 Legging-and-Top Sets Are Great
I’m not sure exactly when my love of activewear began. It could’ve been when I first started taking my dance training more seriously or maybe it was post-covid during which activewear became my daily uniform, with nowhere else other than the supermarket or the park to go for our daily outings. Either way, I now have an overflowing drawer of activewear and I can firmly say that is one of the most worn and loved sartorial categories. That said, there are also many pieces I bought early on that didn’t live up to their waist-cinching, hip-holding and butt-lifting expectations or that simply didn’t wear well. Not great for me, but great news for you as I have now tried and tested pretty much all of the most well-known sportswear brands an...
We Already Know These 11 Shoe Trends Will Be Huge This Year
If you ask me, there’s no easier way to dip your toe into a trend than with a pair of shoes (I promise that pun was a happy accident). After all, what else can completely change the tone of your outfit quite like well-chosen footwear? Therein lies their appeal. Jeans can be made fancier, cocktail dresses scaled back, winter wares made summer-worthy, and vice versa. As such, it not only makes sense to stay ahead of the shoe trends for 2023, but if you’re the fashion enthusiast I expect you are, I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of reading about them, too. So, without further ado, scroll on to see the 11 shoe trends for 2023 that are destined to take over. How do I know this? From the runways, of course!

Kaia Gerber Just Wore My Favourite Leggings-and-Fleece Outfit 3 Times in a Week
One item in particular I’ve been wearing (yes, on repeat) with my trusty Girlfriend Collectives and lululemons this winter is the Free People Hit the Slopes fleece. Honestly, I’m not really sure what I wore before I discovered the cosy jumper at the end of last year (when my fellow Who What Wear editors recommended it to me). And with January serving mostly miserable grey days so far, this easy but acceptable-for-errands outfit has become my morning go to. You can imagine my delight, then, when on a recent celebrity image deep dive I discovered supermodel Kaia Gerber in none other than this exact outfit (let’s not talk about who wore it better, shall we?) Not only did Kaia forgo her usual top-to-toe Celine wardrobe for the Free People Hit the Slopes Fleece (in the...
Black Boots Never Go Out of Style—24 Pairs You’ll Want to Wear Forever
I currently have five pairs of black boots in my rotation; a knee-high pair, three ankle boots with varying heel heights, and some hiker-style lace-ups that have become incredibly useful during the latest cold snap. Typically, boots cost more than other shoe styles as they require considerably more fabric than, say, a pair of slingbacks or loafers, so I always view them as an investment. However, it’s one with no real risk—versatile and incredibly sleek, black boots are the cornerstone of every good outfit I see on Instagram right now. From knee-high to ankle, flat to heeled, it seems fashion people are forgoing the more statement boot trends of the season for failsafe black, just as I have always done. The big question is, with so many pairs out there, which black boots are the...
Futura’s Pointman Figure Gets Crafted in Stainless Steel and Equipped with Light-Up Details
Futura is continuing his longstanding partnership with AllRightsReserved, teaming with the company for a new stainless steel take on his iconic Pointman figure. It’s been 25 years since the Pointman was made iconic by its appearance on the cover of UNKLE’s debut album Psyence Fiction, so it feels only right that now, a quarter-century later, one of the most elevated Pointman figures to date has been produced. Dubbed the AV-001L and limited to 75 units, the figure offers a high-gloss stainless steel body with two different types of stunning light-up details. The first of these are bright white abstract lines that both ripple across its body and arms like lightning and appear in swirling patterns to the sides of its visage. This visage provides another of the AV-001L’s signature details, nam...
Dua Lipa Named Met Gala 2023 Co-Chair
Glitter in her eyes, glitter in the sky, Dua Lipa will be shining just the way she likes at this year’s Met Gala. As announced by Vogue on Wednesday (Jan. 18), the 27-year-old pop star has signed on to be one of four 2023 co-chairs for the A-list fashion event that comes around every first Monday in May. Joining the pop star as fellow co-chairs are Penélope Cruz, Michaela Coel and Roger Federer, a lineup that spans “every realm of popular culture,” according to Vogue. The four of them will assist Anna Wintour in planning a night based around this year’s theme — Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty — which pays tribute to the late German fashion designer. The “Levitating” singer posted the news on her Instagram account, writing, “Excited to announce that I am one of the #MetGala 2023 Co-Chairs…...
6 Minimalists Just Shared Their Trend-Proof Wish Lists With Me
If you’re a regular Who What Wear reader then you’ll know that, every month, we invite a selection of our favourite influencers to share their current wish lists with us. You could absolutely accuse me of being biased, but this is always one of my favourite stories to edit; gaining an exclusive insight into the pieces that social media tastemakers are excited about, and informing my own wish list at the same time. That, I believe, is what they call a win-win. And, for January, I decided to switch things up a bit. You’ll have noticed we’re embarking on a great deal of trend analysis, as we do at the start of any new season, breaking down the key looks from the spring/summer 2023 runways, all the way to pinpointing the shoes, jeans and dresses...
I Just Assembled 6 Expensive Looking Ways to Wear Spring’s Biggest Coat Trend
If there is any wardrobe essential capable of effortlessly navigating the trans-seasonal in-between, it has to be the trench coat. Just like the fine knits, jeans and loafers we automatically reach for when its too cold for spring dresses and too mild for faux fur, the trench is one of the easiest items to cleverly layer up (or strip down) when needs be. And yes, I agree, there isn’t necessarily anything new about a classic trench, but don’t be quick to write off this staple–it is anything but boring. Glossy or matte, camel or coloured, even longline or cropped, the trench coat is still as relevant as ever, and the key to its universal appeal and sheer timelessness is its versatility. (Ask any fashion editor, and I promise you, they’ll say the same). ...
Whether You’re a Novice or a Pro, I’ve Compiled the Perfect Ski Capsule for You
I’ve only been skiing a handful of times but, as I have a legitimate fear of being cold, it didn’t take me long to work out exactly what to wear skiing. After my first slope foray, I realised I’d dressed inadequately. Of course, I came prepared with gloves and a bobble hat, waterproof and cosy trousers, but as any first-time skier will tell you, you’re likely to get wet pretty quickly. Even the most experienced skier will have a fall or two and, without the proper attire, you’ll find yourself feeling soggy and miserable before long.

6 Trend-Defying Jeans-and-Shirt Outfits I’ll Never Tire of
Dressing adventurously comes more naturally to some people than others; the print-clashing, colour-blocking, accessory-embracing style gurus on Instagram certainly make it look easy. And while the skill involved in building a bold, busy and inventive look is admirable, I believe the enduring relevance of certain outfit formulas is just as impressive. A select few fail-safe combinations have made it into my weekly roster—that’s right, they’re so good I can’t go seven days without reaching for them. And lately, the reigning outfit among these old reliables has been jeans and a shirt. Yep, just a classic button-down and worn-in blue denim: It’s as simple as that.

8 Surprisingly Ineffective Skincare Products You’ve Been Wasting Your Money On
With thousands of skincare products to choose from (and more and more launching every day), it can become surprisingly easy to loose track of what your skin really needs as you get sucked into buying the latest trending ingredient or viral product. Of course, testing and trying new products is part of the fun of beauty, and at the end of the day what works for you works for you, regardless of what other people think of it. But there comes a point when experimenting with skincare can become overwhelming, especially if you’re the type of person who wants to address their skin concerns and goals as quickly and effectively as possible. In recent years we’ve seen the skincare industry boom. Fuelled by social media trends, it’s been hard to ignore the influx of new products, ingredient...
