Spring Fashion

You’re only human if you find these seasonal changes in wardrobe mindset a little tricky, though. Even I struggle remembering how to dress for warmer climes after months of hiding under chunky puffers, and I’ve been a stylist for almost 10 years. Like I said, you’ll probably own a lot of what you love wearing in spring already, and then it’s just a case of adding in a few fresh items to bring everything up to date and, let’s be honest, get you excited about wearing all your outfits again. There’s a lot of choice out there when it comes to new spring buys, though, and so I thought it might be helpful to put together a shopping guide of all the pieces I’m particularly loving this March to provide some inspiration for the season ahead.  After all, as a Who What Wear editor...

Spring is finally just around the corner, and sartorially speaking, there is plenty to look forward to. Today, we’ll be honing in on one of our favourite subjects, colours, and which hues are going to bring us the most excitement for the season ahead. While we already did our own report according to what we saw in the S/S 22 collections, this time, we looked to the colour experts at Pantone for even further insight. The Pantone Color Institute could be deemed as the colour-trend authority, so when it released its fashion week colour report, we had to share. A majority of the shades for 2022 are eye-catching and saturated, while there are a few understated options in the mix like Orchid Bloom and Humus. Below, find seven Pant...

The wonderful thing about coordinating sets is that you barely have to think about getting dressed in the morning. If your hair remains unbrushed and you have remnants of last night’s mascara dragged across your eyelids—do not fear. That matching set makes you look effortless. Plus, if you know how to shop for one that looks expensive, no one will notice anything else but the outfit. These are the four more sustainably minded co-ords that I think are worth the price, and yes, I’ve checked them out in real life. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

The past few seasons from the brand have been so good, all featuring sellout cult hits with fans from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to Monikh, including the ubiquitous striped knit, classic trench and cosy scarf-jacket, to name a few. The brand refreshingly keeps its trans-seasonal heroes like these in rotation (further proving how classic they are), but we can’t help getting excited each time the brand launches a new collection and adds to its repertoire. This spring seems like it will be no exception, with fresh pieces starting to drop in the last couple of weeks that are getting us seriously excited for new-season dressing.  There are nine items I’ve already bookmarked as having cult potential, including the new striped pieces, the perfect light&...

Twenty twenty-one was undoubtedly the year of joyful dressing. After lockdown, we wore the hope in our hearts quite literally on our sleeves. Colour palettes were punchy, prints were standout, and a whole lot of fun was had assembling outfits. And you know what? It looks like the sartorial party is set to continue into 2022. We’ve only just begun to see the first signs of spring unfold before us—lighter mornings, longer days, and a more palatable temperature are all signifiers that, yes, the new season is on its way. And already, fashion people are embracing the uplifting mood with their selection of wares. Layers of wool in darker tones have melted away to reveal a kaleidoscope of colour in terms of the outfits I’m seeing on social media—something that shouldn’t com...

Trends encourage us to think outside the box when it comes to our personal style—to try new things, be it colours, prints or silhouettes, to keep our fashion fresh. But sometimes, it really does pay to rely on the classics—the looks and pieces that stand the test of time. This is particularly true when you find yourself feeling less than inspired with your wares as we head into the new season. Just this morning, I stood gazing into my wardrobe, head tilted to one side, wistfully contemplating what I should be wearing now that spring has sprung. In an attempt to get my sartorial juices flowing again, I subsequently sat myself down at my laptop and set myself the task of unearthing some chic, classic spring outfits that will make getting dressed an easier endeavour. You Deserve to Make ...

My obsession, like everyone else’s I’m sure, started with that popular striped jumper, which was originally released last spring and has since been a regular sellout each time it’s restocked, probably thanks to so many influencers and editors showing us how chic it can make a simple outfit look. This spring, Arket has doubled down on the nautical-inspired marinière and applied stripes to everything from basic T-shirts to chunkier knits, cardigans and shirts, and I, for one, am not complaining.  Stripes are, after all, one of the easiest ways to make an outfit look expensive and polished. The Breton has been around for over a century for good reason, and it remains central to the effortlessness of French-girl style (which, of course, we’re always looking to for outfit inspiration)...

It can be all too easy to fall into a high-street shopping rut, always returning to the same names and never branching out of your comfort zone. Personally, over the last few years, this has meant rarely venturing further than Arket, and while I will always return to the brand’s time-tested staples, spring 2022 has also ushered in a craving for something different. So I decided to cast my shopping net a little wider this season, exploring stores that I haven’t always given the attention they deserved. Jigsaw, ME + EM and Whistles, you’re up.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

When it comes to all-rounders on the high street, there are certain brands we can always rely on for top-to-toe looks. And one that is garnering a lot of attention from fashion editors and influencers alike, is Free People. So much so, you’re bound to have seen the much-loved brand tagged in multiple outfit posts on Instagram more than ever lately. While the site hosts a whole variety of incredible labels – including House of Sunny, Citizens of Humanity and Solid & Striped – it’s Free People’s in-house designs that are getting rave reviews right now. And some of these reviews have been coming straight from the Who What Wear fashion team who have all been wearing the latest collection.  With spring-ready maxi dresses (yep, maxi everything is back), to Free People’s icon...

Is anyone else SO excited for spring? As the evenings get slightly lighter and the idea of as fresco brunch without a coat creeps closer, I can’t help but count down the days until the clocks go forward. And something else I can’t stop thinking about is new additions to my spring wardrobe. You know, a fresh blazer that’ll elevate any pair of straight-leg jeans, a dress that makes you want to book a holiday and new sandals to start the phasing out of socks and boots. Although I have many wish lists as long as my arm on multiple site, the three brands that have actually made me transfer items to my basket are Cos, & Other Stories and Mango. Heroes on the high street, this trio never fails to impress me. Cos is of course stocked full of basics that have that certain premium feel, & Ot...

As an editor, it’s my job to be impartial about the fashion I showcase to you. Not everything is necessarily something I would personally wear—I’ve been trained to look beyond that; to instead seek out impressive finds that’ll work for different people and styles. This is perhaps the biggest difference between editors and influencers—a question I’m commonly asked—in that influencers present pieces that are a true representation of themselves. In turn, this makes them so fascinating to follow; find an influencer whose style you love and speaks to your own, and you’ve struck sartorial gold. They become something of your own personal shopper and make it incredibly easy to build upon your existing wardrobe by spotlighting options you’re probably going to lik...

Pat yourself on the back because you’ve done it. You’ve made it through the darkest days of winter! I’m sure you’ll agree, that felt like a *particularly* long one. And although mother nature seems to have a troublesome weather system or two up her sleeve, there’s nothing that can get in the way of the fact that it’s now light at 5pm, and the crocus’ and daffodils are starting to appear in the park— Hoorah! That means spring is officially on its way, and in my eyes that’s as good a reason as any to celebrate.  One of the best things about a new season is that it makes us all feel more inspired with our wardrobes, doesn’t it? The change in weather from winter to spring brings a whole host of opportunities for new outfits, less layers and a fresh colour palette. Although I personal...
