Summer Fashion

At the top of our most-coveted list is & Other Stories’ puff-sleeve midi, which comes in cream, siren red and an exotic floral motif—the latter of which needs only heels and a clutch and it’s a perfect option for a statement-making wedding guest look. On the upper end of the market, meanwhile, is Gabriela Hearst’s striking crochet maxi dress, which could not be a better encapsulation of holiday style—even if it’s just for wearing in your local park. Oh to dream. Then there are the cult cotton dresses worn by Jessica Skye and India of The India Edit, which, remarkably, are still in stock. But whatever your chosen summer aesthetic, you can trust us to bring you the best of the best. Scroll down to see and shop the 33 warm-weather dresses we’re...

Does anyone else see their online Zara basket as an extension to their daily social media scroll? Usually, I check Instagram, find myself in a TikTok hole and then head to Zara to dive into the ‘new in’ section and fill up my basket. And much like the other apps, I like to check back in regularly for any updates. Often, though, like trying to save an outfit you love on Insta before it refreshes, the Zara pieces do the same disappearing act. All the best bits have the innate power to sell out in record speed. So there’s no time to lose when you find the best bits. To save you all some time, I’ve spent hours (it’s my job, so let me off), searching for the most expensive-looking Zara items that are guaranteed to get the dreaded ‘out of stock’ sticker in no time. And with a high street price t...

Is it just me or does anyone else find shopping overwhelming? As an experienced fashion editor, I should probably be a dab hand by now— but since I spend all day every say scrolling through new-in sections, it’s an occupational hazard to be completely spoiled for choice. That’s why each season I usually end up just focusing on a handful of my favourite brands and stocking up on chic basics that I know will all work together— with the odd investment dress, accessory or vintage find thrown in for good measure.  When I began browsing recently to bring my summer capsule collection up to date, there was one clear brand that jumped out at me for having the best edit of expensive-looking pieces: COS. A high street favourite of the Who What Wear UK team and one of my long time go-to...

When it comes to summer dressing, most of us have our go-to outfit formulas that work for our style aesthetic. I personally tend to reach for breezy dresses more than anything else when the temps hit above 70 degrees. While shorts are certainly a part of my wardrobe rotation in summer, surprisingly, I don’t gravitate towards them all that much. Perhaps because of their uber casual nature I never quite feel 100% put-together when wearing them—or, perhaps it’s simply because I haven’t found the perfect pair. My preconceived ideas about shorts suiting me have slowly started to change thanks to these exceptionally cool outfits I recently discovered on Instagram. These ensembles not only make the summer basic feel fresh but they’re also perfect for ke...

The topic of fashion aesthetics is my favourite to cover here at Who What Wear, as it lets me dive into little style worlds that I may not take a look at regularly. It seems like a new term to describe one’s style pops up on the internet every month, and while the looks behind each aesthetic aren’t revolutionary, coining a term can help others navigate each and pinpoint what works best for their own personal style. Narrowing the looks down to individual pieces can be overwhelming for some, so seeing them stylized for particular lifestyles can make them more accessible, especially for people who have trouble putting outfits together.  I made my share of predictions for the aesthetics that would rule in 2022, and to my excitement, almost ev...

I’ve finally narrowed down my warmer-weather outfits to just nine pieces. It doesn’t seem like very much, but all of these items are perfect for mixing together and creating different looks. Not to mention, I’ve included plenty of accessories. Sunglasses, a pair of sandals that work with everything, and a proper basket bag will do brilliant things for your outfits.  Below, you’ll see the nine items I recommend that should be in everyone’s summer capsule wardrobe. Note that there’s no mention of swimsuits, as this isn’t for going on holiday, even if plenty of these pieces work for that, too. Rather, it’s for your day-to-day looks during the summer.

Festival season is upon us, and whether you dabbled in a few last year or you’re back in the game for 2022, we could all do with some inspiration, right? Dressing for a certain occasion always seems trickier. For a wedding guest look, a dress is typically the fail-safe option. And for the races, you can most likely rewear said guest look. But knowing what to wear for festivals can be harder, as literally anything goes. This is why we’ve relied on some of the most stylish women on Instagram to see which looks could be worn for festivals. And the best part about each item is that you’ll style them throughout the rest of summer, too. So whether you choose a crochet co-ord teamed with a bikini you could also wear to the beach as India did or you go for a suede tassel jacket like...

If the warm weather has been distracting you from your Who What Wear reading lately, this one sentence should bring you up to speed: The fashion world is losing it over linen this summer. From breezy dresses to chic trousers, linen fabrications are cropping up in every product category. However, if there’s a piece that’s proving incredibly popular, hands down, it’s the linen shorts set. A move-on from traditional suiting, linen shorts sets are summer’s answer to co-ords. Breathable and versatile, they’re a dab hand in a heatwave but also bring polish to your seasonal outfit rotation. I’m especially loving how my favourite influencers are styling theirs, whether over swimwear or jersey basics and paired with trainers or sandals. Fashion types are don...
