Autumn Fashion

Here are the cliff notes. I ordered them, I tried them on, and I was pleasantly surprised. Owning to having legs on the short side, I’m used to knee-high boots coming up too high, sitting awkwardly on my knee. But not these. In my case, they sit precisely where I want them to. Emma had already warned me that they weren’t exactly roomy around the calf, and she was right. I’m a pretty true size 12, and they only just zip up over leggings or jeans (as you’ll soon see). This, I’ll admit, was a disappointment, especially from Marks and Spencer, which I’ve found to be more generous with its boot sizing in the past. So it’s something to bear in mind if you’re thinking of investing in them, too. All in all, I’m pleased with my purchase of trend...

For all its failings, Instagram remains an unending source of fashion inspiration for me. Yes, there’s always a risk that our wardrobes become a physical manifestation of a social media algorithm, but if we can resist the temptation to copy and paste our style, there are so many feeds that can spark creativity. Case in point: It was during one of my scrolling sessions that I came across a simple autumn outfit pairing—baggy jeans and a blazer—that had me rooting through my wardrobe in an attempt to re-create it that very day.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

It might seem easy to pinpoint It buys thanks to the many paid marketing pushes brands do around the looks, trends and items that fashion people are genuinely putting down some hard-earned cash for. However, no proliferation of #ads can steer us off course in our quest to quickly uncover the new-in pieces that are destined to sell out fast. With our minds and shopping baskets clearly turning to autumn, a fresh batch of noticeably popular pieces is on the rise.  You can use this list in one of many ways. Firstly, you can bookmark and shop directly should something speak to your personal style on a deep level. Secondly, you can use it as a guide to source second-hand and vintage alternatives. For example, you can see below that slip dresses and quilted jackets are trending, an...

It’s not just during #SecondhandSeptember that the team at Who What Wear finds inspiration in thrifting and trends of the past. There’s at least two of us on the team—myself and Joy Montgomery—who are self-confessed vintage fanatics, and a great deal of our communication includes sharing great Etsy finds for each other or new Instagram dealers to bookmark. Joy has a monthly column dedicated to secondhand shopping, we extol the virtues of rewearing anything and everything as much as possible, and every time a new-season rolls around we try our very best to dig around for the trends that might already exist in your wardrobe or can be easily bought pre-loved. Autumn 2021 is looking particularly retro, which is fantastic news for those of us who like to look back and...

The key to having a blessed autumn wardrobe is to surround yourself with an arsenal of reliable seasonal basics, pieces that are interchangeable and can be layered with one another and effortlessly thrown together with anything else hanging in your closet. These items will ensure every outfit you wear feels timeless and not too of the moment—even if you choose to pair them with some of the more directional A/W 21 trends.  So which pieces yield such power? Below, we’ve assembled a checklist of the staples you can pull out every autumn—some of which you probably already do! Scroll on to see exactly what to wear this season.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you ...

Inspired by menswear tailoring, Chanel created the first iteration of her iconic bouclé jacket and skirt set back in the 1950s, and it has been considered one of the chicest things you can wear ever since. There might be a certain wealthy French woman air about bouclé, but, through the years, fashion types have found fresh new ways of integrating bouclé into their wardrobes, wearing it in jacket form with their jeans, or by way of a skirt offset with a silky camisole. Thus, cementing its status as a classic fashion investment. While it is never too far from the style epicentre, we couldn’t help but notice just how many people have been wearing bouclé over the past couple of weeks, and we don’t think it’s a coincidence. In fact, upon further inspection, we realised th...

I have to admit I don’t look to celebrities all that often for style guidance. Despite the fact that I love poring over red carpet pictures and I’ll be endlessly enthralled and delighted by what avant-garde A-listers choose to wear for a casual date night (Rihanna, I’m talking about you), in general, I just don’t connect with the über-luxury and perfectly styled finish you’ll get from most famous people in the spotlight. However, one actress who always piques my interest is Dakota Johnson. She has a very laid-back approach to dressing for her public appearances, and while she can dial up the va-va-voom for events such as the Venice Film Festival, she’s equally adept at flinging on a cool jacket, a pair of jeans and flat boot...

Assembling trendy outfits is always a priority for fashion types, particularly at the beginning of each new season when you no doubt want your looks to feel fresh. But you needn’t spend frivolously to ensure everything you wear is of the moment. Instead, it all comes down to clever styling and pairing certain pieces with one another to help them unlock their full style potential. Sure, you might feel the need to invest in a couple of new hero buys to breathe a new lease of life into your existing wares, and we certainly won’t judge you for doing so. Still, we firmly believe that there are plenty of trendy outfits to be found already hanging in your wardrobe. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Perhaps it’s just me, but there’s nothing I love more than scrolling through the new-in sections of Net-a-Porter and MatchesFashion. Packed full of all the biggest names on the fashion scene and their boundary-pushing designs, for any fashion lover, it’s like being the proverbial kid in a candy store (can we make fashion pick ‘n’ mix a thing, please?). Of course, as a secondhand style fanatic, Vestiaire Collective is very much on par with these e-commerce powerhouses, and at the start of every season, I love scrolling through and stumbling across my favourite designer brands at a fraction of the price. A little bit of high-street, a little high-end and a generous dose of secondhand. In fact, some of the most stylish women I know truly ...

Whether you’re ready for it or not, autumn is almost here (heck, some days, it feels like it already is), which can only mean one thing: It’s time to start thinking about jackets. You can keep your pumpkin spiced lattes and your opaque tights—jackets are easily my favourite thing about autumn. While I already have a few trusty styles to hand that I pull out every single year, it’s been a while since I treated myself to a new jacket, so right now, I’m officially in the market for some on-trend outerwear. This, however, isn’t a purchase I’ll make lightly. This jacket will have to carry me through the foreseeable future and go with everything I already own to make it worthwhile and justifiable. I’m not asking for much, right? Finding such a ...

Summer print trends are always pretty distinguishable—think daisies, bright tie-dye, rainbow stripes—but autumn print trends? They’re a little less predictable. Each cold-weather season sparks different print trends than the last, and autumn 2021 is no exception. Sure, you can always expect some form of checks to make an appearance, and with the simple update of a colour palette, florals are considered a motif you can wear year-round. But as for any other print trends? Until we see the creations designers have in store for us on the runway and which ones fashion people end up gravitating towards, your guess is as good as ours.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.
