Amal Clooney Just Wore the #1 Dress-and-Boot Pairing for Autumn
When deciding what to wear to the airport, I always have two questions in mind. First: Is it easy to wear through the security check? Second: Is it easy to use the restroom in? Things like complicated footwear, jumpsuits, and too-tight skinny trousers are some of the biggest offenders that don’t pass the test, but Amal Clooney is out here throwing caution to the wind and making me deeply reconsider. For us, it’s an outfit that we can see ourselves living in this autumn. As we enter the colder months of the year, we’re on the hunt for any outfit combination that makes getting dressed in the morning easier, and this particular formula is one to follow. Knit dresses are a chic yet insulating way to dress for cooler days, and can be easily styled with all...
Sorry, Ankle Boots—This Is the Shoe Style Taking Over This Autumn
For the longest time, I only had eyes for block-heel ankle boots; no other boot style got a look in. However, a few years ago, I invested in the first knee-high boots I’d had since my teens, and they were a game changer. Aside from jeans, I very rarely wear trousers. Nine times out of 10, you’ll catch me wearing a midi dress. And after years of enduring chilly calves and not-quite-right hemlines and boot heights, knee boots swooped in and made every outfit (read: dress) I wore so much chicer and more put-together. Fast-forward to 2022, and I currently have four pairs of knee-high boots in my footwear rotation: an on-trend chunky pair from M&S, which I bought as soon as I saw them on a colleague; a beige suede option from Sézane, which I invested in hoping it would m...
Listen to Skrillex and Steve Aoki’s Production on Kid Cudi’s Stunning “Entergalactic” Album
Take a bow, Kid Cudi. After the long-awaited release of Entergalactic, fans and critics have been quick to praise the fabled hip-hop artist. The adult animated TV special has been lauded as a creative breakthrough for Cudi, who created the Netflix program and voices its protagonist, Jabari. And its musical counterpart meets the moment. Just like its TV namesake, the 15-track Entergalactic album flaunts a powerful storyline and formidable cast of characters. In the wake of rumors of a collab between Skrillex and Cudi, fans can now finally hear the fruits of their labor. They joined forces for “Ignite The Love,” a brooding alternative hip-hop track with additional production from Rex Kudo, Heavy Mellow and Dot da Genius, among others. Elsewhere, Cudi reunites ...
So Long High Heels, This Is the It Shoe Every Fashion Girl Is Wearing Now
When it comes to fashion we all have our vices and the pieces that excite us the most. Some of us are dress obsessives with an extensive collection of everything from minis to maxis, others are jewellery magpies who feel naked without their gilding, and the bag ladies (who are often the easiest to spot) always manage to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to the arm candy we need to know about. I however, am a shoe fanatic. I spend the better part of my days, looking at shoes, thinking about shoes, and writing about shoes, and after amassing a collection that spans everything from Mary-Janes to mules, I feel well placed to discuss the latest trends happening south of the ankle. The latest style I have fallen for is controversially, a kitten heel, but even more s...
I Love a Double Denim Outfit—Here are 5 Easy Ones to Try This Autumn
Whenever I wear a double-denim outfit, there’s almost always someone who comments on how “brave” I am for wearing such a bold look. Okay, so I understand the reservations some people might have around the “Canadian tuxedo”—most of which relate to a certain Justin and Britney look c.2001 or, alternatively, the memory of a questionable teenage outfit they’d rather forget—but I find that double denim is one of the coolest and easiest looks you can wear for autumn.

Ferrari Builds Unique SP51 V12 Spider for Leading Collector
Ferrari has revealed its latest one-off creation, a front-engined V12 spider created to the specifications of a customer from Taiwan. Designed by the Flavio Manzoni-headed Ferrari Styling Centre, the SP51 is based on the 812 GTS, taking on its layout, chassis and engine and offering a “successful roadster take on Maranello’s first front-engined V12 spider in 50 years.” The complete absence of a roof – the 812 GTS features a retractable hard top – meant the car’s aerodynamics required fine tuning using computer simulations, wind tunnels and testing to ensure comfort and acoustics in the cabin. Bare carbon fiber is used extensively in the cabin and on the exterior, sitting alongside three-layer Rosso Passionale paint – a color developed specifically for the SP51 – and...
Our Editors Went Shopping for Autumn—Here’s What They Came Back With
October is here and with it comes the arrival of autumn. Our days of summer dresses, basket bags and sandals are long behind us and the cold weather is looking like it’s here to stay. While this transition has been taking place over the last few weeks, there is one topic that has dominated the Who What Wear team’s conversations across Slack, email and our in person office catch ups: Autumn fashion. So, after listening to everyone share what they’re after for the season ahead, as well as discovering what they’ve already taken the plunge and invested in, I figured it was worth sharing with you.

TikTok Revived This 50-Year-Old Lipstick, and We Can’t Get Enough of It
The funny thing is this cult classic from Clinique has been around since the early ’70s. Before TikTok discovered it, one tube was sold every three minutes, and for good reason. The deep, dark plum color almost looks black in the tube, but once you swipe it on your lips, it transforms into a sheer veil of the ultimate just-bitten berry shade. It’s one of the few products that actually looks good on everyone. The formula uses a creamy, balmy base that combines the perfect amount of red, blue, and yellow pigment, so it really enhances everyone’s natural lip color. The beauty team and I were lucky enough to get our hands on a tube, and we had to share the results. Keep scrolling for everyone’s take.
