What’s the difference between a tracksuit and a loungewear set? Well, precious little, to be honest. My opinion, however, after a short analysis of available loungewear, is that there are a couple of differentiating features. Firstly, loungewear is never something you’d work out in. Secondly, it’s generally more luxe. Okay, you might find that hoodies are a consistent feature across both, but with loungewear, they nearly always come in expensive fabrics such as cashmere or wool. Finally, while tracksuits are often on the bolder side of the rainbow, with loungewear, I prefer to stick to muted palettes. Give me a beige, cream, or grey, and if you prefer something a little sharper, opt for navy or black. Right now, there are plenty of chic loungewear piec...

If there’s anything I know about 2020, it’s that we’ve been obsessed with nostalgia. You could argue that it’s our way of trying to escape the year, but when it comes to the fashion world, previous trends have always influenced current collections. And what could be better and more apt than embracing the ’70s-collar trend? It’s the easiest way to add a bit of punch to your outfit when getting dressed right now can feel a little repetitive. The runways that showed this trend included, of course, Bottega Veneta and Celine. Gucci, never one to shy away from a bold colour or vintage-inspired look, also had models wearing pink metallic shirts featuring that distinctive Saturday Night Fever collar. The beauty of this trend is that it’s ver...

Well, here we are. Back in a sort-of lockdown. No doubt the temptation to stay in your pyjamas all day is rife, as is the desire to wear slippers non-stop and only actually style your hair for those endless Zoom calls. In moments like this, there is high chance productivity will start to wane, so we thought it would be best to consult a few experts and tap into the knowledge of women who have been working from home long before it was government-mandated. Whether they be freelancers or small business owners the women below have a wealth of understanding about what it means to be productive in a home environment and unsurprisingly, for many of them, it all starts with the way in which they get dressed in the morning.

If there’s one thing I know about Who What Wear readers, it’s that you all love dresses. While we might not have as many opportunities to wear frocks to parties, dinners, pubs, and clubs, especially with the festive season coming up, don’t let that put you off wearing something that you love. In a nutshell, wear that dress that you’ve had your eye on because it’ll make you feel great. To help, I decided to look through literally thousands of dresses online and find the best party dresses I could for Christmas 2020. There are a few rules I often stick to for dressing during the festive period. Firstly, I like to pick something I’ll wear over and over so it doesn’t go to the big festive wardrobe in the sky. Sequins are fine so long as you remember yo...

In the last few years, and this one in particular, it has become more than apparent that what we want from our wardrobes has changed slightly. Most would argue for the better in that we seem to be moving away from fleeting trends and toward pieces that carry longevity—purchases we can enjoy wearing time and again. With ultra-luxe designers like Bottega Veneta and The Row unable to keep camel coats and crisp white shirts in stock, it’s clear the demand is there for quality investment pieces that elevate our wardrobes. For the average person, however, finding that sweet spot of quality, design and affordable price tag can long be searched for. Although those tickboxes are often associated with the luxury market, it is possible to find premium, long-lasting pieces on the high street—you just ...

We may not be going out much right now, but fashion still has an important role to play in our day to day lives. One thing we learnt from spending months inside is that what we choose to put on in the morning can have a huge effect on our outlook on the day ahead. Sweater sets and workout leggings were a revelation to begin with (and, of course, still a great fallback for those days when comfort is key), but after a while we found joy in turning back to dressing up to make us feel good. That means anything from adding a jazzy top to leggings to provide an injection of productivity for a long day of Zoom meetings, or even changing into a sparkly dress to enjoy a night in front of Strictly.  Right now, then, as we head into what feels like it might be a rather long winter, turning ...

Although some may feel like it’s too early to start thinking about Christmas shopping, we feel it’s only right to remind you that, for many, there’s potentially only one more payday between now and December 25. So it makes sense to start thinking about it now—not only to spare you the stress that comes with leaving it to the last minute but also to ensure that your money goes as far as you need it to over the next couple of months. That’s where we come in. We donned our (chic) elf outfits, and in an attempt to make this endeavour easier on your part, we’ve assembled the very best Christmas gifts for her in one place, all of which we’ve neatly categorised by budget. For the women in your life—who can often be tricky to shop for—we’ve found a pr...

I’m always the most inspired to get dressed when a new season rolls around. Yep, it means that many of the trends I’ve been eyeing from the runways are finally starting to drop and I can start mixing them into my personal wardrobe. And that’s exactly what I’m doing this autumn. While I would normally be snapping up more statement-making pieces, I’ve been interpreting the trends by restyling many of the basics sitting in my wardrobe and adding in a few fresh finds for the new season. One thing I can guarantee—all of the pieces ahead earn major compliments every time I wear them. From the Instagram-inspired way I’m styling a sweatsuit to the comfortable jeans I can’t stop wearing to the boot trend I won’t stop talking about, here, see how I’m wearing some of my favorite autumn fash...

The humble puffer coat has come a long way since its original outdoor sports iterations. Thanks to Drake, Balenciaga‘s A/W 16 collection, and our constant pursuit of comfort, we’re very much in the era of the fashionable puffer coat. And 2020 is going to see this item of clothing gain even more popularity since most of us will be going on more walks than ever before this winter. As these jackets tend to cover us completely (especially if you have one of those head-to-toe versions), they can leave you feeling like it’s pointless to wear anything exciting underneath. But that’s actually not the case. I had a look at how some of my favourite Instagrammers have been wearing theirs and found some genuinely fun and exciting outfits that will ...

And if you want more pointers, we have an insider who gave us some valuable tips on how to shop the Zara sale in the UK so expertly that you’ll be guaranteed to get there first (and find the pieces you’ve been eyeing up all season).  Our intel is that you should go for the things that’ll be the most popular first. So opt for the higher-priced goods that will sell out quickly (e.g., cashmere, handbags, shoes and coats). “Other pieces like shirts are likely to still be around for the second markdown,” recommends our insider. Also remember to research trends before buying for the upcoming season so you can see what will last. “Customers will always ask, ‘Will you be getting more stuff like this?’ Honestly, the staff will have no i...

I don’t know about you, but I’m really craving fun outfits right now. Okay, we might not have many places to wear the aforementioned looks, but if there’s one thing I know about 2020, it’s that we need to find joy anywhere we can, even if that means wearing an oversize coat or a colourful bag. If that sounds like something you’re looking for, I have good news: Stand Studio is here to inject a bit of excitement into your daily outfits. Predominantly, the label is known for creating oversize faux fur and shearling coats. But they’re not exactly run-of-the-mill. How they differ is that they come in bright colours and interesting patterns. From a black jacket lined with shearling in highlighter green to a head-to-toe chequered jacket in beige and brown, these are definitely going to make...
