When I first saw a video of Larissa Mills and her daughter Ella on TikTok, I immediately hit the follow button. As someone who lurks on social media almost daily doing sartorial research, things can often get repetitive. But with Mills, I am always excited to see what outfit she and her daughter will be sporting for the day. When I asked her to describe her style, she said it was “classic, undone, simple, tailored and feminine. I put detail on form as well as function. I don’t like ‘perfect’ style. If something looks too well matched or too done, I’ll need to mess it up a little.” I’ve said this before, but at 50 years old, Mills is living proof that trends and style have absolutely no age limit. I’m 23, and I find myself hitting the...

Thankfully, my forthcoming wardrobe began to preoccupy my mind, and soon, my blazer despair was a distant memory. At least, it was, until just recently. Upon scrolling through & Other Stories’ new-in section, I found it: the cult blazer. Of course, I snapped it up. I already envisage myself wearing it with light knitwear, jeans and midi dresses come autumn. There’s never a bad time to buy a classic staple item, so if you also want to secure the & Other Stories wool blazer before it inevitably sells out again, I suggest you do, pronto.  Keep scrolling to see how my favourite influencers wear their & Other Stories wool blazer, and then shop it. Oh, and don’t forget to see the other amazing options the brand has to offer as the perfect cover-up thi...

Besides short hemlines, are there any other dress styles to avoid? “Steer clear of oversized dresses, as they can look too informal—it’s best to keep those for a beach. If you have a big bust, a wrap dress might be one to avoid, especially as you have a baby pulling at it.” Really, as it goes with anything you wear, the most important aspect should be feeling confident and comfortable in your attire.  Before you scroll down for the shopping picks, here’s a quick reminder about Kershaw’s suggestions: Style of dress: Soft silhouettes with a focus on structured necklines Hemlines: Midi, long or asymmetric hem Colours: Pastel tones, white, yellow-based reds Prints: Florals are ideal, although others are fine, so feel free to experiment Avoid: Anything too dark, such as nav...

As a Who What Wear UK editor specifically focused on finding the very best shopping buys for you, I spend an awful lot of time scrolling through brands’ new-in sections. And when I’m not combing websites for standout pieces, I’m usually in-store trying them on, which means I get an even better idea of what new things are actually worth buying. I feel the fabrics and get to grips with the fits and detailing, all of which helps me recommend only top-tier products when I write these articles. I come across so many great pieces, but some are just better than others—like next-level good. And those are usually the pieces that end up on my own wish list (and often in my own wardrobe). So I thought I’d create a space here to collate all these truly amazing new-in buys each month and pass on the kn...

But along with the cool cult heroes, there’s an array of elevated staples that keep ending up in my cart. There’s always a slip dress or two (just because they’re so easily layered below a blazer or cardigan), and I’ve recently really gotten into knit dresses (I’m particularly loving the jersey and crochet kind), which I’d argue have a different purpose than a slip—they’re thicker and are therefore ideal for breezy beach days or cooler autumnal morning walks to the office. A brand that’s always a go-to for all of the above is Gabriela Hearst. Based in New York but born in Uruguay, the brand draws inspiration from the Hearst family’s Latin American ranch, where all the pieces are carefully crafted. Think folky, full-length shawls with ta...

Listen up, everyone. I’ve found the perfect bag. Not only is it ideal for daily life⁠—it fits your wallet, a mask, hand sanitiser and even a bit of makeup⁠—but it’s also great for evenings out. Don’t believe me? Well, the good news is I’ve collected the evidence to prove how versatile and chic this bag actually is. But first, let me give you the details. It’s a leather crescent-shaped handbag with a thick strap. It’s smooth and pretty featureless, other than a couple of silver belt studs and a well-hidden zip. There’s no denying that it bears more than a resemblance to The Row’s Banana Bag, but it actually comes from COS at a much more affordable price point.  It’s unsurprising, then, that I’ve spotted so many minimalist...

I love a good bit of minimalism in the summer. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not averse to bright colours, but there’s something so chic about wearing muted tones in the heat. This year, as I won’t be heading overseas, I want to pretend I’ll be on the beaches of Ibiza or the Cote d’Azur, and H&M’s latest summer collection is going to help me do just that. The sun seems to be hanging around (I’m just as surprised as anyone) so light layers and floaty dresses are needed to fill the gaps in my summer wardrobe. Of course, I’ve found a selection of pieces that can be worn all year round if you layer them right, and some great staple pieces that you’ll find me in whatever the weather.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are...

Basics have always been part of my wardrobe, but only in the past couple of years have I truly come to appreciate them in their own right. Formerly a second thought to more statement pieces, they are now the centrepieces of my outfits. And you know what? I feel like I dress better for it. Another thing I enjoy about basics is just how versatile they are; many can be mixed and matched with one another to create effortless and chic outfits. Then, there’s the fact that they’re ageless. While age certainly has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear, I get there are some items that you might be initially tentative to wear. This comes down to years of being conditioned to think you should dress a certain way when you reach a certain age. But I&...
