8 Elevated Outfits That Are Ideal for a First Date
There’s one big question that every woman struggles with at some point in their life: What is the best thing to wear on a first date? Should you go classic and stick with a little black dress? Perhaps it’s more of a bold-frock, “here’s who I really am” type of situation. Maybe, just maybe, you don’t want to wear a dress at all and would be much more comfortable wearing a pair of jeans. However you feel about the other elements surrounding a first date (the person actually being the person they’ve said they are on the app being a primary concern), it’s inevitable that you will stress out about what to wear. But worry not—we’ve rounded up a few outfit ideas that will work for every kind of date. There...
I’m Losing It Over Zara, H&M and Mango’s Epic Party Pieces
You’re currently reading Who What Wear—this tells me you like to know what’s in fashion and be ahead of the curve in terms of the trends. As such, I can only assume that you, too, are beginning to think about your party looks for the season ahead. Stats show that online searches for party dresses have taken a sharp incline, and we all know the best buys sell out quickly. I, for example, had my eye on a gorgeous midnight-blue velvet dress from Warehouse, which is already gone. Alas, I continue to work on myself, to grow and to learn from my mistakes. Which is why I’ve decided to bring you the sleekest partywear from Mango, Zara and H&M now, in an attempt to save you from the same disappointment I’ve recently experienced. You Deserve to Make Money Even When y...
Barbie and Maserati Team Up For Iridescent Pink Grecale SUV
After debuting its new retail store in Milan’s Magenta district, Maserati has now unveiled a bespoke Barbie version of its latest Grecale SUV in collaboration with Mattel. Said to be inspired by the Barbiecore phenomenon, the project is driven by the mutual desire to break boundaries and showcase the unique flair of both brands. The U.S. exclusive seen above will benefit the Barbie Dream Gap Project, the Barbie brand’s initiative that works with charities to promote equal opportunity for girls. Designed within the Trident’s Fuoriserie program, Barbie pink hues cover the exteriors, sealed in an iridescent topcoat that displays a rainbow effect on sunny days. Sleek black interiors feature full-leather touches across the seats, dashboards, carpets, and doors with pink accent...
Dr. Eugenijus Kavaliauskas Winning Ant Photo Is Freaking People Out
Lithuania photographer Dr. Eugenijus Kavaliauskas’ “Images of Distinction” winning photo is getting a lot of discussion on the internet these days. The photo was entered into Nikon‘s Small World Photomicrography contest and is titled Ant (Camponotus), and was shot on his Canon EOS R camera and a 65mm macro lens. The horrifying photo of an ant’s head close-up is actually caused by the neuroperceptual phenomenon of pareidolia where, due to the composition of the photo, the ant’s eyes have been cropped in to make it appear as if the antennae are the eyes — resulting in a terrifying alien monster’s face. The picture also makes the hairs of the ant look like fangs in a human-shaped mouth, further giving this photo humanoid proportions but with monstrous characteristics. A couple days ago people...
#Cycle2ADE Team Bikes Across Four Countries, Raises Thousands for Music Nonprofit
Some arrived by limo, others by private jet. But for this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event, passenger seats and business casual attire were subbed out for saddles and spandex by a group of music professionals who biked more than 300 miles to the world’s largest electronic music conference. Now in its sixth iteration, the epic four-day trek raised more than $36,000 for the non-profit organization Bridges for Music this year. Based in South Africa, the program provides underserved and at-risk youths with holistic creative education and music industry courses. Bringing the initiative’s lifetime fundraising sum to $200,000, this year’s course was traversed by representatives from SONOS, Parlophone/FFRR, Fabric and more, according to ADE. Msaki, Dope Saint Jude and Reb...

Sustainable clothing is becoming more popular. From thrifting to eco-friendly apparel, there are different ways to incorporate sustainable fashions into your wardrobe. Although many brands offer sustainable designs, the search for “affordable sustainable clothing” can be time consuming, so it’s best to narrow things down. And if you’re in the market for a new pair of leggings, why not take the sustainable route? Girlfriend Collective’s Compressive High-Rise Legging fits like a glove, and they’re good for the environment. Made from 25 recycled water bottles, ...
2023 BMW M2 Receives Packed Lineup of M Performance Parts
Following the debut of the 2023 BMW M2 earlier this month, the Munich-based automaker has announced a hefty list of performance parts that will become available as add-ons to the vehicle upon its arrival in April 2023. On the exterior, BMW has crafted a series of carbon fiber parts, including a front splitter, side skirts, frontal air intake inserts, mirror caps, a rear spoiler and a diffuser. Additionally, the carmaker offers an M-labeled tow strap and M Performance titanium and carbon fiber exhaust tips for a final flair. The vehicle prioritizes agility in its control, and the M Performance suspension system makes that sentiment a reality. The add-on includes height-adjustable spring cups in both the front and rear axles, which allows drivers to lower the ride height by up to 10 millimet...

5 Makeup Tips to Know About If You’re Trying to Disguise Tired Eyes
I am no makeup whizz, trust me. I can’t do winged liner (despite years of trying), I have no idea how to contour like people on TikTok do, and any attempt at lining my lips is guaranteed to end badly. Truthfully, my lack of artistic ability is probably the reason I like to keep my makeup natural-looking and as quick and easy a possible. There is, however, one makeup technique I consider myself a master at, and that’s my ability to brighten up my constantly tired eyes. My incessant dark circles, puffy eyes and persistent under-eye bags mean that I’ve become somewhat of an expert in disguising tired eyes. I have absorbed every tip and trick that I have received throughout my eights years as a beauty journalist fro...

The Easy Outfit Formula Our Editors Plan on Wearing All Winter
As far as outfit formulas go, there’s nothing quite as easy to throw on in autumn as jeans, boots, a jumper and a coat. It’s an outfit that can take you seamlessly from Sunday brunch to an afternoon at the pub, and in late autumn, it’s probably exactly what you’re putting on each morning before you leave the house. We’re big advocates of this simple structure and tend to live in it through autumn and well into winter, mixing in a rotation of our favourite knits against various pairs of comfy jeans. Of course, each look is topped with a warm coat and a scarf or beanie, depending on how Arctic the temperatures are. Last but not least are the boots. This item finishes the look and can be used to dress your outfit up or down. High-heeled boots will...
Anne Hathaway’s Airport Outfit Includes Puddle Pants and a Very ’90s Shoe Trend
By now, everybody knows that jeans—especially rigid, non-stretch ones—are best kept in your carry-on when travelling as opposed to on your person. After all, sitting in tight jeans can be difficult enough without adding in a long plane ride. And yet, that didn’t stop Anne Hathaway from hopping on a flight to LAX last week in perhaps the stiffest possible style: long cargo jeans that puddle around the ankle. For her trip back to Los Angeles, the Devil Wears Prada star (with the help of her stylist, Erin Walsh) paired a super-light-wash pair of cargo jeans from Isabel Marant with a lightweight pink knit, a red Veronica Beard blazer, and a patterned, silk scarf tied around her neck. With it, she added even more accessories that airport security&nb...
