The coat that continues to perform year after year is one that you might not have been expecting: the belted coat. That’s right, the simple robe-meets-outerwear style of a longline coat that’s nipped in at the waist with a simple belt tie. Chic, yes, but you might not find it topping the trend charts, as this is not a flash-in-the-pan, viral “moment” for the style. In fact, its been quietly and consistently gaining momentum in the background, and it isn’t a coat that tries to make a statement per se. Instead, it’s an understated and elegant option for the minimalist dresser whose simple but perfectly tailored pieces do all of the talking. I’m a firm believer that the coat’s timeless appeal lies in its casual fit but dressy finish, j...

Dakota Johnson is one of those women I rarely think of when it comes to looking for style inspiration. It’s not through her lack of style however (we all know she always nails the red carpet), but more due to the fact she’s not very active on Instagram. With just nine posts (last time I checked), we have to wait until she gets papped out and about to get a glimpse of her low-key yet enviable looks. One such example is her latest stylish yet relaxed off-duty outfit, which she was spotted wearing while heading to the Madame Web film set. Needless to say, it was well worth the wait.  One thing’s for certain, the actor is a huge fan of jeans. So much so, she’s very regularly spotted in a pair—in all cuts, styles and shades—with a laid-back t-shirt and trainers...

When it comes to looking polished every single day, no one is quite as proficient as Jessica Skye. An influencer she may be, but she has the fashion clout to match, having held various roles within the industry before she found social media stardom. It’s this intrinsic knowledge and experience that sets Skye apart from her contemporaries (along with her imitable style, of course). With a penchant for pared-back staples and easy-to-wear outfits, all in a gloriously versatile colour palette, Skye creates perennially chic looks that aren’t try-hard—a potent combination we immediately want to re-create. Thankfully, each month, Skye will be sharing her new-season selects exclusively with you. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dat...

I’m something of an affordable-shopping expert, having cut my fashion-editor teeth on a weekly magazine whose sole purpose was to showcase the hottest pieces on the high street. And although my taste and budget have evolved over time, still, nothing beats the buzz of finding something affordable and stylish that I know is going to look so much more expensive when I wear it. So when my colleagues asked me to create an edit of trendy yet classic outfits under £100, I was more than up to the challenge. I scoured social media to unearth a selection of outfits I really love, and then I began tracking down the more affordable pieces I needed to re-create them. I knew I could (and would) do the outfits justice, but even I was impressed at just how many I was able to assemble without breaking a sw...

As a big film buff, pop culture obsessive and costume party lover, I’m often asked by friends for Halloween ideas that they can make using their own wardrobe, and maybe–just maybe– look actually quite good in the process. And I get it! As much as I love fancy dress, I’m a fashion girl at heart, who likes the recognition of a well-planned outfit. Like most, I too fear the situation where you turn up to a party and be in the same garments as someone else. As Mean Girls’ Cady Heron famously said “In girl world, Halloween is the one night a year that girls can dress like a total slut, and no other girls can say anything about it.” But fear not, my suggestions won’t get you derogatory slurs, but impressive nods of approval at a party, in the office or on the dancefloor. So forget Vecna or Hocus...

When considering the most important staples for cooler-weather wardrobes, I looked to some of our favourite celebrities to see what they rely on most. Three key essentials stood out more than any: boots, jumpers and coats. With colder days ahead, and many of us trying to avoid putting the heating on, cosy jumpers are definitely a good investment. Whether you are missing a turtleneck from your wardrobe or are on the hunt for a warm yet stylish jumper for dinners out, these warming layers will be a blessing as we move closer to Christmas. A great pair of boots will never go out of style, and Mango has plenty of great options to choose from with ankle to thigh high styles with flat soles or heels for every occasion. Finally, if you haven’t yet sorted a winter coat, there’...

There’s no denying that autumn is here, so we thought it might be useful to bring these outfits to your attention. With ensembles this strong, we’ll be applying these autumn dressing principles to see us through the cooler temps we’ll inevitably experience over the next few months. Autumn days can require quite a bit of outfit planning. Jacket or no jacket? How many layers are too many layers? Although it might seem pessimistic, this is actually the perfect moment to take a pause and really think about what you’ll wear when the weather truly turns. The below outfits include several classics that you’d typically expect from a British capsule wardrobe, including trench coats, leather jackets and jeans, alongside some new additions that feel really relevant for t...

When it comes to high street stores, I’m very specific about where I go for certain items. This may be because, after years of shopping, I finally know exactly what suits me. And more importantly, I know exactly what doesn’t. Let me explain. While I find Zara good for dresses, I would never usually buy trousers from there (I’m 5’4″ so they’re often too long.) Instead, I head to COS for more tailored pieces. And when it comes to Mango, although I’m often caught pursuing the shoe, blouse and accessory section, at this time of year, I always know it’s the destination for the best coats. In terms of fit, quality and cost, it’s the full package. This year is no exception, and I’m blown away by the choices on site now. Whether...

I’m in the market for a new coat but I have some firm non-negotiable stipulations ahead of purchasing. Firstly, my next coat cannot be super-expensive but it must be premium and long-lasting. It absolutely has to be a classic style that I won’t bore of by next winter—I’ve bought into trending styles before and lived to regret it. I’d like it to feel more fancy than the puffer I’ve lived in for the past few winters, and, whatever style I do end up landing on, it needs to be made of wool because there is no greater fibre option for a piece of outerwear that can remain looking good in your wardrobe for a long, long time to come. So, it seems like my mission this week is to find the best wool coats on the high street, and I think my discov...

We’re not the only ones to note the power of this holy trinity, with every brand from Whistles to Balenciaga launching their own interaction of the style, in their own, very on-brand aesthetic. One such brand high street favourite COS, who just this week, as part of its new atelier collection, released a checked scarf jacket that got the whole Who What Wear team talking.  Now here at Who What Wear we firmly believe that every item you buy should be viewed as an investment, with ample time to consider just how the piece will work in your existing wardrobe and how much wear you’ll get out of it before you click ‘head to checkout’. But every so often, a high street hit like this jacket comes along and we just know, deep down, it’s a winner. And if the COS number isn’t qu...

It’s no secret that I’m more of a summer person, but I have to admit that when the colder weather hits, there is one thing that gets me really excited, and that’s a great winter coat. As a coat lover, I prioritise a few things when investing in a new style. First, if I’m not warm, my husband says I moan endlessly, so that is always number one on my list. Second, even my most casual of coats have to add an element of polish to my outfit or I just feel, well, a little drab. So with that in mind, I like to invest in styles that feel really special and that I’ll get plenty of wear out of.  Another key factor to consider when choosing a coat, whether it is from the high street or a designer brand, is quality. I am a stickler for quality, and when it comes to a w...
