I’m Getting Married Next Year—These Are the Wedding Dress Trends I Like
So, if we are to begin with our own wardrobes, and using mine as a case in point, while there are undoubtedly the staples that I wear year after year and consider my best investments, there are also plenty of the buzzy, trend lead pieces that add some colour and context to what I’ll be wearing for the year ahead. Who among us can admit that we weren’t at least slightly caught up in autumn’s 90’s minimalist trend? Or the return of summer’s micro mini? Although you would like to look back at your wedding pictures in 20 years time and not cringe at what was the look du jour of the time, there is undoubtedly a link between what happens on the runways and what we choose wear to for the biggest days of our lives, and a good dress will be able to ...
4 Pretty Lingerie Trends Everyone Will Want to Wear in 2023
“As in 2021 and 2022, dopamine dressing looks like it’s here to stay”, says Downes.“After the Barbiecore trend sparked last year, the popularity of hot pink isn’t showing any signs of slowing down across all fashion sectors including underwear. In 2022, we launched a number of pink collections and these are proving to be some of our best-sellers. Our focus is on fit, premium materials and products that are built to last, so ensuring colours are seasonless is really important to us. We’ve added Burnt Orange, French Navy, Merlot, Olive and Storm Grey to our collections, all shades which we likely wouldn’t have seen a few years ago and we’ll continue to add more colour throughout 2023.” “In addition, we’re continuing to introduce elements of texture across our collections...
Best Wardrobes in Britain: Marilyn Nwawulor-Kazemaks
If we looked through your wardrobe on any given day what would we find? You would see automatically see a lot of coats, shirts, blazers and jeans. I love easy basics like neutrals and jersey as they make such a great foundation for all my outfits. But, I’m also slowly building my collection of statement and investment pieces to add points of interest. This year I’ve been much better at shopping smart with purchases, and some items are sat on my wish list for months before I buy them because any item I commit to, it’s because I genuinely love it and it works well with everything I already have in my wardrobe. At Who What Wear we’re big advocates of the hard-working capsule wardrobe too. So, if we go back to what inspires your look, who are t...

Rachel Stevens’s Zero-Effort Coat, Trouser and Boot Combo Is So London
If that weren’t impressive enough, the coat comes from Rachel Stevens’s fashion capsule with high-street hero, Oasis. While it’s real leather, which naturally commands a higher cost, it does have a lower price tag than other iterations currently on the market. Her trousers? They’re also genuine leather but come from another high-street favourite, Arket. In true Who What Wear fashion, Stevens can’t resist the temptation of investing in a cult designer piece to round off her look; cue The Row‘s zip-front boots that have been on my wish list for a solid 24 months. There’s something so elevated about this outfit, but when you break it down, it’s incredibly easy to emulate. Scroll on to shop Rachel Stevens’s exact pieces below, then continue...
Victoria Beckham and Catherine Zeta-Jones Are Both Endorsing Thigh-High Slits
It’s high time we talked about thighs. That is with regard to skirts with thigh-high slits, of course. This subtly sexy style was recently spotted on Victoria Beckham and Catherine Zeta-Jones, demonstrating that a miniskirt isn’t the only way to show off a great pair of legs. While Beckham wore a brown suede pencil skirt with chain details that matched her bag—both from the designer’s eponymous label—Zeta-Jones paired her vibrant red leather skirt by Hervé Léger with matching red shoes and a black cape. As demonstrated by these two outfits, a thigh-high slit on a skirt that hits below the knee can be a versatile wardrobe piece for women of all ages. But if you’re not into baring that much skin, the style also works perfectly well ...
Trust Me—These Are the Only Handbag Trends Worth Knowing About in 2023
Whether I’m dressing up for an event or pulling on a lazy weekend outfit, one thing I never compromise on is accessories, and in particular–bags. After all, a good bag can make even the most basic outfit feel a little more special (and it’s the one thing we’re guaranteed to use every day). But, when it comes to spotting the new bag trends to invest in, it can take a little bit of research. Unlike ready-to-wear, bag trends can come and go quickly, remember Jacquemus’s teeny, tiny Le Chiquito? Of course you do, but there chances are, there isn’t one hiding in the bag of your wardrobe. Or, perhaps the first pictures of Carrie Bradshaw’s JW Anderson Pigeon clutch? Maybe not a trend, but undoubtedly an important moment of discussion as to what ...
I Tried On Every Expensive-Looking High-Street Piece—These 10 Stood Out
The British High Street is a treasure trove for everything from affordable leather handbags to stylish footwear and catwalk-inspired outerwear to statement dresses, all minus a designer price tag. And whilst shopping online may be the most hassle-free way to update your wardrobe, when it comes to finding those extra-special, premium-looking pieces, it’s much easier to head to the shops and search for these gems in the flesh. At this time of year, shopping IRL can feel like an assault course, especially as plenty of us make those last-minute Christmas gift dashes. So, not only have I done the legwork for you and tried on the best pieces from some of our go-to high-street brands, but I have also shared my top tips on what to look out for when yo...
M&S Does the Very Best Jumpers, and These 24 Prove It
The frosty mornings and bouts of snow can be a nuisance at times, but the upside to this is that we get to wrap ourselves up in fabulous knitwear for the foreseeable. Brits have long relied on M&S for its excellent knitwear selection and this year, it’s better than ever, with plenty of beautiful jumpers and cardigans to choose from.

Party Wear To Puffer Coats–Here Are 25 Pieces Worth Buying in the Reiss Sale
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Yes it’s the holidays, but it’s also the annual sale season! Although I have no interest in promoting the frivolous purchasing of pieces you don’t need, shopping during sale time is as good as time as any, better in fact, to invest in your capsule wardrobe. Whether it’s a last minute party dress for New Year’s Eve, office-appropriate tailoring or a silk white shirt that can really be worn so many ways–I always look to this time of year as a period to invest in wardrobe essentials. One of my go-to brands for this has always been Reiss. Consistently offering expensive-looking items season upon season, you can always count on Reiss to provide everything from a working wardrobe or wedding g...
Vibrate to the Beat of This Drum & Bass Track Sampling the Sounds of a Dildo
If a sex toy company slid into your DMs and asked if you wanted to sample one of their products, what would you do? What any logical music producer would do: make a beat with it, of course. That’s exactly what Koji Aiken, an electronic music producer and DJ out of Vancouver, did when he ironically agreed to promote a product offered by a local sex toy company, who offered to send “the loudest vibrator” they had available. Harnessing the mighty power of the “Bendie Power Stud Curvy Vibe,” Aiken hit the studio and recorded the dildo’s various vibration sounds. He then sampled them to produce a song, the end result of which is a hysterical drum & bass record. Scroll to Continue Recommended Articles “I wanted to push the boundaries of sound design ...
