After the winter we’ve had, the arrival of summer has never been so anticipated. With restrictions steadily easing, we now have a reason to carry a handbag again for the events in our diary that require careful packing. Summer handbags often need a chuck-it-all-in quality—you want to be able to squeeze in a bottle of rosé, suncream and multiple park snacks to your bag. There are certain styles that will always be popular in summer for this very reason, such as an oversized basket bag or a practical tote. Loewe is a designer that really leads the way here, as several years later and its logo-patch raffia tote is still a timeless investment that is highly sought after.  Other handbags I have noticed that are popular every single year, are white l...

Buying a piece of fine jewellery is a big deal. It’s an investment purchase that definitely requires careful consideration, but often, it’s also an emotionally charged piece that you’ll remember for years and years to come in celebration of a special holiday or anniversary—whether you’re buying it for yourself or it’s a gift from someone close to you.

Having spent the last 13 years or so looking at expensive clothes and accessories up close means I can spot a worthwhile investment from a mile off. I may not have the available budget to always splurge on said pieces, but they’re building up into one heck of a wish list in my head—a wish list that I’m willing to share with you here, in a monthly shopping gallery that features only the most-obsessed over and adored creations I’ve bookmarked.

There’s no denying that beauty is an incredible fast-moving industry and with a buzzy new launch or celebrity-approved product seemingly going viral every day even I struggle to keep up with what’s trending right now. However, I make sure to regularly test and trial the newest cult beauty products because I always want to know if they’re genuinely worth they hype. The result? I have an overflowing makeup bag and struggle to close the doors of my bathroom cupboard on a regular basis. Yes, at this point, I’d hazard a guess that I’ve tested hundreds of apparent cult beauty products with mixed results: some are total flops which make a quick exit from my beauty stash while others take up permanent residence in my regular rotation. However, when I’m shopping for cult beauty produ...

I’m a huge candle fan, but when it comes to choosing my favourites, I always come back to classic brands, such as Diptyque and Jo Malone, that I know I can rely on for beautiful scents in chic packaging. Sure, I’ve dabbled in affordable candles (and discovered some seriously good ones), but candles are such an important part of my relaxing evening ritual that I rarely gamble on new ones. However, over the last few years, I’ve noticed one candle brand, in particular, cropping up more regularly in my Instagram feed. The distinctive black jar with its pink label has been dotting the fireplaces of the chicest girls online. But it wasn’t until beauty editors started raving about a cool, canna...

There are certain words that you’ll find in almost any fashion story, however I’ve never heard the word ‘joy’ used to describe clothes until 2020 when designers really examined our emotional connection with what we wear. Clothes not only reflect our mood, but also impact it, and so for SS21 designers from Versace to Molly Goddard used clothes to project a positive outlook.  Halpern used feathers, sequins and exaggerated silhouettes to create some of the happiest clothes you could imagine, and he explained to Vogue at the time: “Fashion should prop people up and give people a break, especially when they’ve been having such a terrible time.” This joviality was shown in many different ways, but Net-a-Porter in its SS21 presentation ...

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is one of the most celebrated style icons of this decade, and she regularly gives us insight into what she wears at home or for her day-to-day errands via the mirror-selfie galleries that she posts to Instagram. She has a soft spot for anything new from Bottega Veneta, but after years of posting these mirror selfies, she is actually a big advocate for re-wearing old pieces and tends to not be charmed by cult buzzy buys. Rosie has a solid capsule of classic items that she consistently re-wears in new and exciting ways. She avoids anything too loud and steers clear of passing trends, instead sticking to a neutral colour palette and smart tailored separates that she can wear for years, if not decades. Her mirror selfies show that a successful...

One of our most-loved stories on Who What Wear covers the high-street items we have seen influencers wearing on Instagram recently, which we update and share every month. We also love to celebrate independent brands, vintage finds, luxury labels and contemporary brands, and so here every month, we will talk about some of the best items we’ve seen on the internet. It might be a £50 top by a little-known label or a £1000 Loewe bag—as long as it’s an item we believe is truly special. This month, items that have made us gasp while we scroll include a beige short-sleeved shirt by Matteau, a beautiful gingham dress by sustainable London-based brand Franks and an ochre midi dress with a cut-out at the waist by Aje. Keep scrolling to see the 15 special pieces w...

One of my best kept secrets as a fashion editor is THE OUTNET. Ok, I may have told a *few* people about it by now and all my ‘fashion’ friends are fangirls with me, but I’m often still amazed when other friends aren’t as familiar with it. I mean, how do they think I’m affording this wardrobe if not for THE OUTNET’s discounts?!  Seriously though, as I’m getting older and, like everyone these days, more aware of the impact my shopping habits are having on the world, I’ve started pledging to buy less and invest smarter. Not every brand I buy is perfectly sustainable yet, but if I can try to create less waste and buy better quality pieces that I cherish for longer, that’s a start in my eyes.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Like Breton tops or loafers, gold chains or blue button downs, trench coats are one of those staples items you automatically reach for at this time of the year. However, just because these clever items become almost mandatory in a woman’s wardrobe doesn’t make them exempt from having moments where they seem even more covetable than the month, season or year before. Just because a trench coat isn’t new or different or a trend doesn’t make it any less important this spring. In fact, fashion experts appear to be relishing the effortlessness a plain mac can bring to dressing and are therefore leaning on them once more for easy-but-effective outfit builds.  This year’s trench coat wave isn’t full of gimmicks, restyling or re...
