5 Cool Cardigans That Will Keep You Stylish and Cosy
If the humble cardigan wasn’t a staple in your wardrobe before last year, chances are it is now. Personally, I’ve always been a fan of the knitted cover-up (although I love jumpers, I prefer the way cardigans look and sit on my bigger bust), and it seems that all of fashion has come round to my way of thinking. Gone are the days when cardigans were considered dowdy, or dare I say it, boring. Now, designers have reimagined the cardigan in a multitude of stylish ways, making it a must-have in any closet, regardless of what your aesthetic may be. And as we head into spring, there are new cardigan trends for 2021 beginning to emerge. From statement faux-fur trims to pretty and nostalgic floral embroidery, the cardigans on offer this season will instantly eleva...

The Only Expensive Lingerie Brands I’d Spend Money On
When it comes to lingerie, I’m as fussy as can be. I want comfort and a perfect fit, but I also demand that my underwear mustn’t look like its given up on being beautifully designed or a little bit sassy. Practical T-shirt bras are all well and good—and these staple underwear items deserve just as much time and attention from you—but right now, I’m finding that luxurious lingerie can be the mood-boosting foundation to my daily, perhaps more casual, outfits. There are some eye-wateringly expensive options out there in the world of high-fashion underwear, and some are worth parting more cash with than others. Lingerie fabrics—the very finest ones—are often pricey and complicated to produce, very delicate to manufacture into bras and knickers. Doing...
All The Outfits I’ve Loved This Week From Copenhagen’s Fashion Week
Over the last few years, Copenhagen Fashion Week has become one of the most anticipated events on the fashion calendar. From Ganni to Cecilie Bahnsen and Baum und Pferdgarten, the city is home to some of the most coveted up-and-coming cult labels and is renowned for its adventurous and enviable street style. As with most things in 2021, this year the event has gone completely digital, though that does not mean that street style has taken a back seat. From Emili Sindled to Maria Bernad, influencers in both Copenhagen and beyond have donned their Scandi best to take a virtual front-row seat as brands unveil their latest collections online. Baum und Pferdgarten hosted a lockdown show, asking influencers across the globe to model a select look from their latest collection....
5 Trending Spring Jackets Actually Tempting Me to Go Outside
Depending on which day you read this, there are currently around 40 days until spring officially starts, but we’re already beginning to see its effects. Sure, there’s snow on the ground in some parts of the country, but even the chilliest regions (where I live being one of them) are witnessing other signifiers that spring is indeed on the way; lighter and longer days. While I ordinarily love the winter months—bundling up and heading out for a steaming hot chocolate is one of my favourite pastimes—this year I find myself willing springtime to come. And what better way to prepare for its arrival than by thinking ahead to all the spring jackets I’ll get to wear. Making the switch from coats to jackets feels transformative; there’s something so hopeful about b...
I’m Always on the Lookout for the Perfect Hoops—Here Are My Favourites
It has taken me years to build up a collection of hoop earrings I am in love with. I often get asked where they’re all from, and after half a decade of searching for the best ones, I am certain that you can’t beat the mini hoops from Maria Tash, By Pariah, Cat Bird and Saskia Diez. A carefully curated ear of mini hoops can look really chic and considered, but gorgeous sculptural earrings have the same impact too. Oversized hoops are no longer considered to be Kat-Slater style, as they’re now a fashion must-have. When it comes to oversized versions, shoulder-grazing hoops from the likes of Bottega Veneta are ideal for keeping your outfit fun over Zoom, and then parties when we can actually go to them again. Keep scrolling to shop this season’s pairs that I love. You Deserve to Make Mon...
I’m in My 50s, and This Is How I Wear Zara’s Best Under-£100 Pieces
Janet Gunn is the inspiring influencer behind The Grateful Gardenia. Originally from Texas, the 58-year-old style guru is now settled in Los Angeles with her husband, son, and dog Buster. She’s worked as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, flight attendant, actor, jewellery designer, and beyond. In other words, she has a ton of experience and an equally cool personal style. Below, Gunn shares the affordable Zara pieces she’s wearing on repeat. For more of her looks, don’t miss her Instagram account, @janetgunngratefulgardenia. You may not always associate the word chic with affordable, but (thankfully!) Zara has helped bridge the two. Each season, I find several standout items from this beloved high-street store that are both stylish and budget-friendly. My favourite way to wea...
Kamala Harris Faces Criticism For Wearing Controversial Brand Dolce & Gabbana
“Madame vice president-elect has a lot of work to do,” wrote fashion editor André Leon Talley of Kamala Harris’s polarising American Vogue cover. “And she is not thinking every day about how she is looking.” While Talley is absolutely correct on that point, it’s also true that what the Vice President wears is political – and fans aren’t too happy with her recent choice of a Dolce & Gabbana suit. It’s difficult enough being a women in politics and having your every move – and fashion choice – being much more heavily scrutinised than your male counterparts. Then, there’s the added pressure of representing such monumental, historical change. Although Harris has done well so far, she and her team aren’t going to ...
I’m Not Into Valentine’s Day But I’d Be Happy With Any of These Gifts
What a year the month of January has been. If, like me, you feel completely fatigued by it all, and you can’t believe Christmas was only a mere five weeks ago, then I have some good news—it’s almost Valentine’s Day! No, wait, come back. I know that this particular day isn’t really something people like to celebrate. Personally, I usually ignore it, and not just because I’ve been married for a while, but because I think it can seem a bit exploitative. Why celebrate the people you love in your life for one day, when you could, technically, do it all year? But, the year is 2021 and I will take any excuse to celebrate something.

These Tops Keep Selling Out—but I’ve Just Found the Perfect One for £28
Here at Who What Wear, we fancy ourselves as somewhat experts when it comes to spotting microtrends. The kind of looks that are distinguished by something as small as the texture of a fabric or the placement of a button. In the past, we’ve waxed poetic on microtrends ranging from countryside prints to statement embroidered cardigans, though this winter there seems to be a new, subtler trend on the block. From designer to high-street, sweetheart neckline knits are gaining quite the fashionable fanbase right now with influencers across the globe embracing the flattering silhouette. It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind of detail but manages to instantly elevate a winter knit, bringing a modern, contemporary element to the item. You Deserve to Make Money ...
The Return of This Controversial ’90s Trend Has Divided Our Team
Everyone on our team agrees that it can look chic (we have plenty of evidence to support this). What we can’t seem to understand is its actual purpose. “For me, there should be more of a distinction between arm warmers and boleros,” says our assistant editor, Nell Block. “Arm warmers implies that it’s just on the arms whereas a bolero is akin to a little jacket, which is fine by me. If you’re going to wear arm warmers in the truest sense, wouldn’t you just wear a jumper?” “If I’m cold, I’d grab a jumper,” says editor Emma Spedding. “This is a look that’s aesthetic over function, which is cool, but let’s not dress it up as anything else.” Let...
I’m a Coat Obsessive—These Are the Ones I Want for Spring
It’s safe to say that I’m a bit of a collector when it comes to fashion. Although the idea of a perfect capsule wardrobe is what I long for, in reality, I’ll probably always own multiple shoes in the same style and too many pairs of jeans. Then, there are coats. Shopping for a new style is something I look forward to each year, and now I have quite the collection I can pick and choose from. With springtime on the horizon, I’m also thinking about raffia accessories and linen dresses. However, considering I live in the UK, it’s always about layering. I’ll forever pack an umbrella, sunglasses, and a light jacket into the same tote bag (who knows what else is in the depths of said bag)—no matter the season. It’s also guaranteed that if I’m in the...
