Dresses

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 ...

ASOS does a lot of things well—its shoes consistently surprise us with their premium designs but affordable price tags, and its coat selection is one of the strongest on the online shopping scene. However, it is perhaps most loved for its dress department, which is sure to satisfy every dress need you’ll ever have. Be it a summer smock or knitted winter number. And this season, as we look towards tend of the summer and to the transition into autumn, the brand seems to have pulled out all the frock stops. Upon browsing its new-in section this week, we couldn’t help but notice that ASOS is serving up a host of beautiful dresses—some of which are promptly selling out. With the broadest edit out there, with everything from statement checks to versatile mono...

When your job is to find emerging trends and show your fellow fashion enthusiasts the must-haves each brand has to offer at that particular moment, you’d assume I’d be an open-minded shopper. This is true to an extent, as very rarely will I disregard wearing a trend before trying it for myself. Admittedly, however, I tend to shop in certain stores for certain things. Take & Other Stories: As soon as I cross its threshold (both in real life or online), I know I’ll come away with one of two things: blouses or a pair of jeans. Similarly, Zara is my one-stop-shop for bags and blazers, while Mango serves as my go-to for blazers.  Lingerie? Marks and Spencer. Wardrobe staples? Arket. And so on. The downside is that I’ll enter a store with blinders on, s...

Sequins! Shimmer! Satin! ASOS Edition’s latest drop of party dresses is a fashion magpie’s dream. I don’t know whether you were one of the first people to head out on “Freedom Day” or rather someone who is feeling a little uncertain about socialising en masse, but either way, it’s nice to know that we can finally expand our wardrobe outside of its loungewear confines.  While high-octane dressing is not exactly my forte, even I couldn’t resist the premium details that ASOS included in its dresses: It’s the delicate feathered fabrics, 3D embellishments and head-to-toe sequins, all of which are usually reserved for designer brands that are 10 times the price. I’ve also included a few low-key styles to sat...

It’s been a funny old year for the Great British high street, with various institutions either going under or being bought out by global conglomerates. Warehouse is one such high-street mainstay that was struggling before it was acquired by the Boohoo Group along with a few other big-name brands. We weren’t sure what to expect from this new iteration, but we can safely say that—if Instagram’s best-dressed influencers are anything to go by—it’s been given the fashion stamp of approval. We’ve noticed Warehouse’s dresses, in particular, have been a hit with the influencer crowd this summer, and we can certainly see why. From statement cut-outs and dramatic colour-block prints to bow-tie backs and chic T-shirt dresses, we have been so imp...

From polka dots and smocks to back-baring midis and pops of print, the results of 2021’s affordable dress deep dive are in, and I can confirm that we’re experiencing a stellar year. With temperatures reaching a sweltering 31 degrees this week, it’s fair to say that summer has finally arrived, and in turn, sent us scrambling in our wardrobes trying to dig out our favourite heatwave-proof frocks. Honestly, the British weather can be so hard to keep up with sometimes.   You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

Heatwave or no heatwave, white dresses make for the ideal summer attire. On cooler days, experiment by layering short-sleeved styles over less seasonal pieces, such as a Breton or a block-coloured tee, and under trending jackets, such as oversized blazers. However, on the days where the weather plays ball, all you need to round off a chic white-dress look is a pair of chunky sandals, minimal jewellery, and whichever handbag takes your fancy (we recommend one of the basket variety). Whether you opt for mini, midi, or maxi, oversized or fitted, pretty or pared-back, I’ve found 30 of the best white summer dresses for you to choose from.

If there’s one thing you can guarantee from us at Who What Wear is that we know good dresses. We spend hours looking at the new drops every week, not to mention trawling through Instagram for more time than we’d care to admit spying for trending frocks that are about to sell out. Personally, I’m a big fan of midi dresses because as someone who’s 5’3”, it’s the perfect length. But I also genuinely believe they suit every shape and height. Midi dresses are great for summer with sandals as they are for winter with boots—they have real longevity, which I really rate.  The good news is that midi dresses seem to be everywhere this season and in an array of different trends. Whether you’re a floral person or more suited to the minimalism of shi...

It’s our job to pore over the trends so that you don’t have to, separating the sure-to-be-short-lived from the enduring, and that’s exactly what we’re presenting you with here. Cue four key styles of dresses (because who doesn’t love the ease of a dress?) that we tipped as winners in our autumn 2021 trend report and that are looking like they’ll go the distance. As we know all too well, the good weather on our shores can be short-lived, and before we know it, those temperatures will be cooling right down, so we’re thinking about dresses that can take us into the transitional time while still ticking off the trend-conscious box. From fuchsia hues to body-con knits, discover what styles our money is on below. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online...

The heatwave is on its way, so naturally, there’s nothing else we Brits are talking about right now (as I write this, they are discussing it at great length on the radio). This can only mean one thing in the wardrobe department: It’s time to dig out our trusty throw-on dresses. I don’t know about you, but when the mercury rises, all I want to wear is something that is loose, light and long. I can’t deal with fitted waistbands or clingy silhouettes. Well, luckily, H&M has dropped a dress that delivers on all these fronts.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.
