I Practically Collect Zara Blazers—Here Are 25 New Styles I Really Rate
It’s almost impossible to think of a time when blazers didn’t dominate my wardrobe. Sure, I’d worn them at school. (I was probably one of the only students who dutifully did so and, dare I say, enjoyed it.) However, after leaving high school and enrolling at art school, they served no purpose in my closet. That was until I landed my first magazine internship in London. Unlike my hometown, which, at the time, had no Zara to speak of, it felt as if there was a branch on every street corner. As such, during my four-week placement, my love of Zara only grew and grew, and subsequently, so did my blazer collection. For the purposes of this feature, I decided to count how many blazers I have in my wardrobe. In total? Thirteen. And how many of them are from Z...
I Hoard Candles—These Are the 13 I Turn to After a Long, Stressful Day
However, while we Brits have a wonderful way of complaining about short days and cold climes, there is something to be said for the comforting cosiness of autumn evenings, and there are ways to unwind your mind so that you can make the most out of your autumn evening. My go-to method? Lighting a good ol’ relaxing candle. While lighting candles en masse in the autumn might be deemed a total stereotype, as someone whose entire home is filled with candles (and who seriously struggles to unwind), I have come to accept that their power is most definitely best utilised for relaxation. After coming to terms with the notion that this makes me an autumn stereotype, I have dedicated a substantial amount of time to finding the most relaxing candles out there so that I can spend my col...
Everyone Always Asks Me About My Dresses—These 22 Are Fantastic
If there’s one thing I know, it’s dresses. My wardrobe is full of them, and I wear them 99.9% of the time. I’ve always struggled with casual (long-time Who What Wear readers will have repeatedly read about my ongoing struggle with denim—sorry to be a bore!), so easy, good-looking frocks are my most trusted fashion staple. I have affordable ones that I wear each and every week. I have special, more expensive ones that come out for important occasions or big meetings. I have those in-between, mid-priced options that bridge the gap between casual days and fancy ones. I own styles that are ultra-summery and best for heatwaves and holiday packing, but I’ve also got a fair number of clever, trans-seasonal styles that can work layered up and with ...

Specialized Unveils the World’s Lightest Gravel Bike: The Crux
Specialized has unveiled the all-new Crux, the lightest gravel bike in the world equipped with massive tire clearance capabilities and performance gravel geometry. Weighing 725 grams, the Crux boasts a responsive build with a nimble and reactive ride. And with a 47C tire clearance, the bike offers more capability across a wide range of terrain. The Crux enlists a straight-shot, hollow drive-side chainstay, which helps to keep the bike focused around the improved 1x and gravel 2x cranksets with a lightweight. “We knew an ultralight bike with massive tire clearance would truly unlock gravel performance,” said Stewart Thompson, road and gravel product leader at Specialized, in a statement. “With the breakthroughs made on Aethos, we finally had the technology to make it a rea...
You Can Now Look Like a Dollar Store Version of Daft Punk With These Strange “Sunglasses”
If you’ve ever dreamed of looking like Daft Punk but simply haven’t had the money to burn on an ornate LED helmet, now’s your chance. There’s a pair of trendy sunglasses that will set you down the right path. These peculiar “sunglasses,” which are drawing Daft Punk comparisons on the web, are essentially glorified face shields. They cover your entire face, from eyebrows to chin. The polarized unisex visor, which features anti-fog layering, also keeps comfort in mind with a removable nose pad. Yes, in theory they offer more protection than your average sunglasses. But you’ll also look like a dollar store version of Daft Punk. ZGHYBD/Designboom Recommended Articles Various sellers on Amazon are offering these ergonomic face...
Steve Harvey Drops All-Green Outfit Pic, Twitter Reacts As One Can Expect
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Eric McCandless / Getty Steve Harvey has always pushed the boundaries of style and fashion, which often has resulted in observers firing off jokes and memes at his expense. In recent weeks, the comedian and television host has made some more bold choices in those areas, and his latest outfit has Twitter reacting only as they can. Via social media on Friday (October 8), Harvey, 64, gave the streets an all-green shirt, slacks, tie, and topcoat combo complete with some sleek brown shoes and shades while standing proudly in a bathroom that probably costs more than your entire home. This look adds to a long list of other ‘fits that Harvey has gotten off over the years and not for nothing, this one ain’t half bad in our opinion. Related Stories Because Tw...
Mercedes-Benz Launches “MANUFAKTUR” Label Customization Program
For those who think a G-Class, CLS, the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, the S-Class, and the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class are too common-place, fear not, as Mercedes-Benz has just the thing for you: its new “MANUFAKTUR” label. “MANUFAKTUR” is a customization program that can be equipped to the aforementioned cars, similar to what Porsche did with its “Sonderwunsch” program in the ’70s and ’80s. Think of it as a team that will grant your special wishes, allowing you to fit your car with rare materials that are predominantly processed by hand, exclusive paint finishes, and high-quality embellishments in the interior. The level of craftsmanship involved is akin to making a Saville Row suit that’s specifically tailored to your liking, making the car a tru...
3 Colour Trends Taking Over the High Street This Autumn
The high street will always take its cues from the runway. However, in recent years, many brands have become more confident in championing their own aesthetic, hand-picking styles that go on to significantly impact Instagram fashion trends. This season, it feels as though names such as Arket, COS and H&M have really invested in the bright-colour trend, offering up confident designs that nod to designer collections yet remain distinct in their unique design DNA. I have noticed three shades in particular that have cropped up again and again: cobalt blue, Kermit green and grape purple, all highly saturated and undeniably fresh. Coming in luxe fabrics that balance out any primary-school associations, these are the sort o...
9 Stylish Dress-and-Boot Pairings to Try This Autumn
As much as I love them and wouldn’t be able to get dressed on the regular without them, I’m getting sick and tired of wearing jeans day in and day out. Surely, I’m not the only one? This is precisely why I’ve set myself a bit of a style challenge—one I’m inviting you to join in too. Since autumn has well and truly arrived, I’ve made it my mission to forgo denim for the foreseeable future (until it snows, at the very least), and instead, I’m going to embrace my favourite look of them all: dresses with ankle boots. Dresses and ankle boots never fail to look chic and will help you navigate any and every sartorial hurdle the season throws at you. I wear mine for work, dinners out, drinks with friends, on shopping trips—heck, just about anywhere that doesn’t call for...
10 Years Later, Every Fashion Editor Still Wants to Own This Iconic Jumper
You can forgive us for wanting to talk about knitwear incessantly right now. After a fairly lacklustre summer (save for that one week of really good weather), we’re very much looking forward to all the great jumper, sweater and cardigan outfit options that are out there. Of course, there are some classics that we go back to over and over. A black roll-neck? Absolutely. A cardi you can belt? You better believe it. But one piece of knitwear that I know every fashion editor loves is the Bella Freud 1970 jumper. It’s become something of a cult buy among the fashion and celebrity crowds. The 1970 jumper was created in 2011 as part of Freud’s collection titled English Boy and has remained a best seller ever since. The brand has reissued it this sea...
