I’ll be the first to admit, I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to astrology and spirituality. I don’t know the character traits of an earth sign or the significance of a full moon, and don’t even try to ask me what happens when mercury is in retrograde. Yet, in our ever-changing, dynamic society, it appears that non-religious spirituality is as prevalent as ever, with people incorporating mindful, conscious practices into their everyday lives. From crystal-infused water bottles to healing crystal gift sets, more and more touchpoints are being created daily in order to connect people to their spiritual side. And, of course, fashion is no exception. According to fashion search engine, Lyst, Fashion Karma is a trend of the rise, with people now wanting their clothes to give them “p...
There’s a lot to be learned on TikTok. From innovative recipes to dance routines and homeware hacks, the app is essentially a one-stop shop for tutorials and how-tos, no matter the subject. In fact, learning is such a large part of the platform’s ethos the hashtag #LearnOnTikTok currently has over 200 billion views. As the social media editor that I am, this week, I decided to delve into the world of TikTok tutorials and see what I could learn about clothes. As luck would have it, clothing hacks are quite the trending topic on the app, and it seems like every influencer (and their dog) has an idea to share. There are those who have found umpteen ways to wear a silk scarf as a shirt and others who are using kirby grips to alter the waist size of skirts. Shoelaces, I’ve discovered, have...
As we hit the halfway point of November, it seems as though winter has finally caught up with us. Temperatures are dropping below 10ºC, piles of leaves are congregating on kerbs and Christmas decorations are starting to appear on high streets across the country. Naturally, this time of year requires a bit of a pivot clothing-wise, and we’ve spent the last week brushing up on our layering game and digging out sturdy boots, chunky knits and enveloping coats. If, in the course of your cold-weather sorting, you realise that you need to fill in a couple of holes, then allow me to show you some of my favourite pieces from high-street heroes Mango, Reiss and Marks and Spencer. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined wha...
If someone told me I could only shop in one store forevermore, & Other Stories might just clinch it. I’m not sure what I ever did before the H&M Group’s carefully curated and hugely covetable brand sprung onto the high street in 2013. More grown-up than the stores that had carried me through my teenage years and early 20s, there was a brand that felt like shopping in a well-stocked boutique and carved out its own must-haves, rather than mimicking short-lived trends. And the novelty hasn’t worn off—for the product has only grown stronger and my love for it even fonder. Initially great for basics with a twist (and products to add a design edge to your bathroom #shelfie), it’s now a destination for whimsical tops, printed dresses and blazers that sell out overnight (this wool sty...
It pretty much goes without saying that here at Who What Wear, we like to keep track of seasonal trends. It’s embedded right there in the job description that we know what’s current and are able to spot what’s emerging. While our day-to-day is spent analysing everything that is new and now, we have to admit that there are often seasonal trends that catch our attention more than others. Of course, we’d like to try every trend. Unfortunately, it’s not practical for our wallets or the planet to invest in everything. This is why we tend to prioritise the looks we’ll wear winter after winter, which can take some planning to make sure we consider the gaps in our wardrobes. Individually, each of our editors has a unique personal style and tends to gravitate towards different items...
Honestly, trends in knitwear seem to have gone wild this year. There are so many of them it’s almost impossible to nail down all of them. But we’ve done it. On the runways, there has been an explosion of colour. Rainbow stripes from Christopher John Rogers and Chloé, graphic prints from Ganni and Ashish and saturated hues from Gucci and Aknvas. On Instagram, always a great way to discover new trends, we’ve spotted cut-out jumpers and cropped cardis, such as those from Jacquemus, indicating a love of a sassier take on knitwear. Lyst revealed that the biggest searches around knitwear include patterned sweaters (up by 43%) and polo knitwear (up by 24%), and demand for “matching knitwear sets” has also increased. Net-a-Porter reiterated that there’s a love of brightly coloured ...
& Other Stories is a firm favourite with the fashion crowd, and it certainly needs no introduction to readers of Who What Wear UK. However, there’s one section that’s particularly popular with the Instagram set this season: the knitwear. With cropped, colourful cardigans and chunky, oversized cable-knit jumpers, this is arguably the best place on the high street to stock up on your knitwear this season.

It’s no secret that I’m a self-confessed vintage-fashion fiend. Give me a sunny Saturday afternoon, a takeaway coffee and a high street dotted with charity shops, and I’ll happily wile away the hours rummaging through densely packed rails. It’s all about the thrill of the chase and the unique buzz that comes from spotting something special that has its own unique history. If I’m honest, when I first started out second-hand hunting as a teenager, my main motivations were budget, and it’s only been in the last decade that I’ve also come to appreciate the creative and environmental benefits. From dusty charity shops in remote Welsh villages and city-centre kilo stores to online treasure troves, I’ve been everywhere in search of my next second-ha...
As part of what we’re calling “the great shrinkage,” designers have been debuting looks that are getting skimpier and skimpier. The S/S 22 runways were no exception, where “floss” fashion was in full focus stringy dresses and tops with barely there floss-like straps. Yep, things are about to get even more naked come next year. The “floss” trend has been gaining more and more traction off the runways as well recently, with brands like Nensi Dojaka really putting the micro-trend on the map with their signature tiny strap dresses. Their pieces have carved themselves out as one of the cult buys among fashion insiders in 2021. It looks like the micro-trend has a long life beyond this season, with designers including Balmain and Sid Neigum embracing the tr...
If the changing of the seasons has left you in the mood for a wardrobe refresh, you’ve come to the right place. With autumn well and truly here, you might feel the need to Marie Kondo your closet, clearing out items that you no longer wear to make space for others that will “spark joy.” Though in our increasingly eco-conscious world, the concept of a closet clear out feels a little dated as we’re longer inclined to just dispose of our pre-loved items. No, now it’s all about finding a new home for them. Enter Bandi, Nuw and Thrift+. Three companies that are helping to change the way we think about pre-loved clothes. From swapping your old favourites for items that are new to you, to selling your second-hand gems in exchange for credits or vouchers, there are so many new ways ...
As the daily decision of going bare-legged and coat-free versus dusting off our trusty opaques and grabbing a cosy cover-up becomes ever more apparent (along with the contents of our handbag expanding to fit an umbrella, sunglasses and an extra emergency layer), it’s no surprise that we all feel slightly confused during the autumn/winter season. This seems to be the case with dresses, too. Can we still wear them? How do we wear them? And most importantly, which ones actually look good with tights? Now that our summer dresses are firmly in their vacuum bags, it’s time to think about the ones that will tick all the boxes. With my help, you can find a frock that’ll keep you feeling both chic and cosy during the chilly British...
& Other Stories is generally known for being one of the best places to go for knitwear on the high street, but I have to say, this season, it has really stepped it up a gear. There is one jumper, in particular, that has caught the attention of the WWW editors, and we felt it our duty to share it with you. Coming with a striking checkerboard print and collared neckline, this knit looks seriously expensive in our opinion. You can add it to jeans, throw it over slip skirts or even dress it up for dinner with black trousers, heels and gold jewellery. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.
