Woody is a little different from its iconic siblings. Firstly, the bag’s not made from leather, real or faux. Instead, the original Woody’s body was constructed using a heavy-duty, durable canvas, trimmed with flashes of rust- or black-coloured leather, which flank the logo-emblazoned cotton canvas ribbon handles. As it’s a thing of beauty, we predicted at the start of 2021 that Woody would be a sell-out as soon as it debuted. Why? Because the shoe iteration was, and remains, a best seller for the brand. Also affectionately named Woody, the flat rubber-and-cotton canvas slip-on sandals were a huge hit this past summer and have recently seen a restock at Net-a-Porter. Naturally, after its success, the designer shopping behemoth also invested in the Woody Tot...

Jewellery trends, like clothing, handbag or footwear ones, are divided into two camps right now. On one side, the classics; on the other, a wild riotous party of fun. The wonder of it all is that you can follow a singular path but there’s also scope for the two opposing looks to be really fantastic when clashes together. A navy crew-neck jumper worn with a string of playful beads; a simple bracelet stack against a super-voluminous sleeve; a dramatically cut-out dress juxtaposed against a timeless chain necklace—these combinations spark joy. So it makes sense that autumn’s most important jewellery trends are split into two distinctly different vibes to follow suit: “forever” pieces like classic bangles or tennis necklaces, versus ou...

Whether you’re an avid observer of street style or simply like to scroll through Instagram for all your outfit inspiration, there’s no doubting the fact that each year, a number of trends emerge when it comes to designer items.  From Gucci’s Marmont crossbody bag to Bottega Veneta’s enviably cool pouch clutch or Jacquemus’s Le Chiquito, certain items develop a cult-like status amongst fashion enthusiasts and industry insiders alike. Though, cult status aside, you might be asking yourself which brands actually hold their value? Or which brands are the most in-demand when it comes to resale?  Well, thanks to Vestiaire Collective, we just might have the answers, as the designer resale site has compiled some statistics to let us ...

As several stores shuttered over the past 12 months, the fashion industry faces huge challenges and strains that pose an inevitable threat to businesses. Many of us won’t be shopping in the same way right now, but even a like on Instagram or a message of support can provide a boost for these brands. I certainly don’t want anyone to feel like they have to buy more right now, but at the same time, after working in the fashion industry for nine years, I want to support the brands and pieces that I love and treasure. As an editor at Who What Wear, I typically spend a lot of time looking at new-in products, and so every week, I update this story with the pieces that have caught my eye and that really stand out. The weather this week has seen us all return to our knitwear and raincoa...

Indeed, it seems that a Birkin’s worth just keeps going up. Baghunter shared that between June 2016 and 2017, the value of Birkins on the resale market rose by 16%. Since then, Baghunter has conducted a new report, which found a growing gap between demand and supply of Birkin handbags, leading to a “mini Hermès drought” in the resale market. “With all indicators showing Hermès have not increased production of the Birkin bag, the value of the Birkin is set to spike soon,” said Evelyn Fox, co-founder of Baghunter.  We’re no expert on investments, but we’d say the Birkin sounds like a pretty sure bet. This begs the question: Stock market or bag connoisseur? We’ll take the bags, thanks. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you...

Hunting down the best T-shirt brands is like searching for the holy grail of fashion. Such is the importance of the quest for many fashion lovers. Here at Who What Wear, we’re always being asked where you can find perfect tees to add to your wardrobe staples. But first off, it’s worth reminding ourselves of the requirements that make an incredible T-shirt. For starters, they should fall just right—not too clingy and not too loose (unless you’re after the oversized look). Other factors include it being in a block colour (with the exception of the Breton) for maximum styling options. Our preferences are tees in black, white or grey—although other hues are acceptable as well. (Wild, we know.) You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates O...

Every season, new handbag trends make their way into the street style world, and each season, we eagerly scout said accessories. Right now, it’s the super-tiny purses that seem too small to hold even a tube of lipstick and those incredibly unique styles sure to liven up your look in an instant that are reigning supreme. They’re fashion-forward and have a serious street style star backing. Sometimes, though, it’s the classic designer handbags you simply can’t say no to because they are just that—classic. If you’re unsure about which luxury piece to splurge on, consider turning to the most popular designer bags ever. It’s no easy feat to earn such a title, and though many come attached with a pretty big price tag, they’re worth the splurge ...

We take sandals very seriously at Who What Wear. Considering they’ll be one of the major purchases you’ll make in the summer, we know we need to get it just right. Over the past year, we’ve documented the new designer labels that people have loved and the big fashion houses that continue to create stylish sandals. If I’m honest, there are so many genuinely cool and chic sandals around right now that it’s very hard to choose between them.  Do you want a pair of sliders with a bold logo? Or maybe you’re more of a minimalism lover who only wants simple straps and a basic colour. There are, of course, the cult labels that have built up quite a following (Amina Muaddi, we’re looking at you) as well as the brands that everyone seems t...

Between Byredo and Maison Margiela, the allure of a trending fragrance can be hard to ignore when choosing a new perfume—especially as a beauty editor when there are so many launches to test and trial each month. However, much like a timeless handbag or a good pair of chunky boots, there are certain perfumes that draw you in beyond the initial buzz of a new launch. And many of these classic perfumes come courtesy of the biggest designer names in the world. Yes, from Chanel to Yves Saint Laurent, some of the most iconic scents are designer fragrances—and they truly stand the test of time.
