If there are two things we’re particularly good at over at Who What Wear HQ, it’s compiling the new-season trends that you need to know about and putting together curated shopping edits that we know you’ll love. So, as we look to the year ahead and consider the best pieces to buy and wear for the next 12 months (and beyond), the first place we look for inspiration is to the runways.  Fashion month might not always provide us with the most practical or wearable pieces (sorry, Loewe), but it does always manage to give us a new take on trends, and in 2022, the key takeaway was nostalgia. As many of the trends showcased were a continuation of those we loved from the previous spring/summer (like luxe leather, masculine tailoring and the ̵...

Hands up who among us has stood in front of our wardrobes at the end of the year and disappointingly declared that we “have nothing to wear”? After 12 months of getting dressed for work, for socialising, to keep warm, to keep cool, and more often than not, to look good, the usual failsafes we wear on rotation can start to feel a little same-y. As the New Year looms and we look back on the year that was, we often feel compelled to start afresh, and of all the New Year’s resolutions we promise to make (and likely drop by March), a wardrobe refresh ranks high on our list. But if you are looking for new inspiration for the season ahead, where do you begin? Long before our editors have compiled reports and rounded up the best pieces to shop, ...

And while shoes and coats have proven to be some of the brand’s most in-demand pieces, the hardest item to get your hands on in recent years has to be one of Bottega Veneta’s bags. The brand recently launched it’s commitment to expert craftsmanship and luxurious materials with an announcement of a new lifetime warranty on their bags. The Certificate of Craft program offers unlimited complimentary refresh and repair on their bags, which ultimately encourages less waste. Bottega bags for life you say? Er, yes please.  Celebrities, industry insiders and the public have found themselves falling head over heels for Bottega Veneta’s arm-candy offering, leaving wait-lists in their wake. The frenzy first started with The Pouch; a buttery-soft, ...

If the snow outside is anything to go by, cashmere season is well and truly upon us and I for one am here for it. Traditionally, when shopping for the best cashmere jumpers, you would have to head to some pretty expensive designer brands, but thankfully today the choice is endless. From high street to high end, there’s a cashmere jumper to suit every style and budget this year. Think bright colours, winter whites, boxy silhouettes, puff sleeve details and of course stripes. Whatever cashmere you’re in search of, I can almost promise it is in my edit below. But why is it that everyone from editors to celebs, stylists to influencers and grandmas to 20-somethings love cashmere? For me, a cashmere jumper is up there as one of my mos...

Diamanté crystals have become almost as synonymous with the Prada name as its iconic triangle logo. Alongside jewelled ready-to-wear pieces, sunglasses and hair accessories are showstopping metallic shoes and bags. These pieces are perfect for New Year’s Eve celebrations, festive parties and forever gifts, so if you want something that shines, you’ve come to the right place. Whilst they may come with a luxury price tag, the Prada pieces below are outfit elevators that never go out of fashion. Just look to the coolest celebrities—including Gigi and Bella Hadid, Rihanna and Dua Lipa—for inspo: Their casual, off-duty outfits are made winners with the addition of Prada shades, boots and mini bags. To see all of these It pieces and more, keep scrolling. You Deserve to Make Mone...

After scrolling through everything in the Ralph Lauren sale, we’ve worked out that just four clever buys will make the foundation of an easy-to-assemble but supremely luxe-looking winter capsule. Think versatile knits, cosy coats, premium accessories and chic dresses that can be dressed up or down with ease. While offers will continue to run throughout winter, we recommend acting fast before these sought-after pieces sell out. And just to entice you a little bit more, you can now shop Ralph Lauren through Klarna when you head to checkout, which gives you the option to pay in 30 days or split the cost across three interest-free payments, so there are even more ways to shop that must-have piece that’s been waiting in your basket. So if you’re planning a seasonal wardro...

At Who What Wear, we’re specialists in scouring the runways to bring you all of the trends you need to know for the upcoming season, and while spring/summer 2023 is full of must-see moments and looks we want to add to our wardrobes now (for me it’s the pencil skirt), we also think ahead to the pieces that will stand the test of time.  We know the runways tend to present an exaggerated interpretation of trends, and if you’re considering how to realistically work them into your daily outfits, there is an easy solution to styling that will change the way you dress forever, and this is where my capsule wardrobe comes in. After years of working in fashion, I’ve realised that the key to shopping timelessly is a mix of core neutrals, seas...

That’s not to say that everything I buy is an investment—at least, not in terms of cost. I love the high street, and in Britain, we have access to some of the best affordable brands in the world. Although I shop from it, I do so mindfully. And I apply that same mentality to any high-end purchases I’m considering. In the past, I’ve been swayed into purchasing on name alone, but in my tenure at Who What Wear, I’ve developed a thicker skin for designer pieces, which allows me to look past the gilded embossing and instead see the piece for what it is and determine whether it’s actually worth it. As you can see, I’m very particular about the clothes I wear, the story they tell, and the impact they have on my life. So why not share my shopping picks with you? ...

Life is full of decisions. Whilst some seem important but aren’t, like which pizza topping to pick or what colour your next gel mani should be, others, like which watch to invest in, actually take careful consideration. For most, selecting the correct timepieces is a lengthy process as—let’s be honest—they can come with a hefty price tag and are something you want to wear for decades, perhaps pass down for generations and need to compliment all facets of your personal style.  When considering the best watches for women, it’s no secret that they’re often not thought of as a quote-unquote must-have or trending piece. Shoes and handbags seem to follow a faster-paced trend cycle and create more hype, but watches? Well, timepieces on the other...

As an editor at Who What Wear, I typically spend a lot of time looking at new-in products, so I thought it would be handy to have this regularly-updated article where I’m able share with you the very best pieces I come across, and the shopping picks I’m personally adding to my wish list.  This week it’s all about elevated winter basics, peppered with some key partywear buys to see you through December and beyond. The new-in sections are now overflowing with coats, knits and boots, and I’m currently scouting out the styles that will add the most value to my wardrobe. After searching for the perfect low-heeled, knee-high boot for what felt like an age, Reformation’s Remy style appeared like a mirage—except they’re ve...
