May 18, 2020 at 02:19PM Who What Wear Spotlight was born when our co-founder Katherine Power had the idea to use some of our ad inventory to support small fashion and beauty businesses that have been impacted by COVID-19. Starting from Monday 25th May, each week we will turn the spotlight on a company that will receive a complimentary week-long media package featuring the company, including an editorial story on WhoWhatWear.co.uk, social promotion and ads on the site leading to the content. With these efforts, we are extending a hand to the fashion-and-beauty community, using our ad inventory for good, and directing our audience of 2.3 million shoppers worldwide to the brands that need their support the most. Our audience still wants to shop and see the best new brands and cares more than ever about who they are choosing to support with their purchases, so this is a win-win for both the founders of these businesses and our community. Who What Wear wouldn’t be where we are without support from our industry, and we’re very excited to give something positive back with this initiative, especially to those who are underrepresented. If you’d like to apply for your company or know a small fashion or beauty business that would be perfect for this, our application form is open—here is where to apply for the UK site (and for American companies here is the application form for the US program). Our hope is to continue to evolve this program, using it as a dedicated franchise to support smaller businesses. Here is

Jewellery 101: Everything You Need to Know About Aquamarine
May 18, 2020 at 02:00PM When Meghan Markle flashed an aquamarine ring from the passenger seat of a matching blue Jaguar being driven by new husband Prince Harry to their wedding reception, baby-blue gems zoomed to the top of the rock charts. But what should you know about the March birthstone, especially if you’re thinking of investing in one? The most crucial thing about aquamarines is whether the stone you’re about to buy is actually an aquamarine and not, for instance, a topaz or just lowly blue coloured glass. Confusion reigns among blue gemstones. Aquamarine vs. Topaz vs. Glass Naturally blue topazes are rare. And no one wants to be duped into buying a relatively cheap colourless topaz that has been radiation-treated into its blue hue. So, how can you tell the difference between an aquamarine and a blue topaz—or an aquamarine and blue glass? Gems should be viewed under the right optical conditions. Put the stone against a sheet of white paper either in natural light or under fluorescent tube lighting. To the naked eye, an aquamarine will often have a slight greenish cast to it, which a blue topaz totally lacks. Another test: Aquamarines are pleochroic, which means they throw off different colours when viewed at different angles. If the stone you have in your hand emits the same colour no matter what angle you hold it at, it’s not an aquamarine. Surface nicks, scratches and bubbles trapped inside are signs that it’s a piece of glass. Aquamarines score between 7
Self-Isolation Diary: A Day in the Life of Lainey Lui
May 18, 2020 at 01:00PM We’re officially in Month 3 of self-isolation with an uncertain road ahead but for some much-needed inspiration, FASHION is reaching out to some of our favourite Canadians to get a peek into how they’re living their lives in lockdown (remember: #StayHomeSaveLives). Each week, keep an eye out for new self-isolation diaries from actors, designers, influencers and artists who are riding this uncertain time out with us. Elaine “Lainey” Lui, co-host, CTV’s The Social; anchor, Etalk; founder and editor, LaineyGossip.com Tuesday, May 12, 2020 @ 5am My phone alarm goes off. Every day it’s like Fifty First Dates where I have to be reminded that this is reality. My first thought is always… SERIOUSLY?! STILL?! My second thought, today, is that it’s not a hair-washing day which means maybe I can go back to sleep for half an hour. My third thought is that even though it’s not hair-washing day, I have to get up this early because I’m stupid slammed for eight hours straight without a break so I need to start writing my column and finish at least two thousand words by 8am. Then I knock over my mug of water. It spills everywhere, I have to turn on the lights and wake up Jacek. Is this an omen? Is my day about to be all kinds of f*cked up? Now I’m checking my texts, with dread. Sure enough Bryan Adams decides to become a social media scandal. 5.15-7.15am I allow myself 45 minutes
These £35 Influencer-Approved Shorts are a Summer Staple
May 18, 2020 at 12:58PM A few weeks ago, Lucy Williams posted a photo of herself to Instagram wearing Arket’s of-the-moment, elastic waist, linen shorts. After seeing the image, I immediately found myself clicking over to the brand’s website, desperate to get a pair of my own, knowing full well they’d become a hero summer item I’d wear all season long. To my disappointment, the staple had already sold out in several different colours. Thankfully, Arket knows a thing or two about keeping their customers happy as the label has restocked the popular item in both the black and light beige colourways. An influencer favourite, already this season the shorts have been worn by Lucy Williams and Rachael Clifton of Bubbly Aquarius, proving they are indeed a very hot commodity. Though they are certainly an expensive-looking staple, the shorts retail for a very affordable £35 and given their versatility, I have already thought of about 35 different ways I’d like to wear them. With a matching linen shirt, a racer tank and my Stan Smith sneakers, à la Lucy Williams for starters. So, whether you’re at home, at your local park or even venturing to the beach this summer, a pair of elastic waist linen shorts are the wear-anywhere staple that will see you through almost all occasions. Keep scrolling to see how influencers are wearing the staple and then shop the shorts below. Next up, the biggest S/S 20 fashion trends you need to know.

10 things I can’t live without (during the past 10 weeks)
May 18, 2020 at 11:57AM Hi friends! Happy Monday. I hope you’re having a nice morning and that you enjoyed a relaxing weekend. Just to break up the monotony over here, we’re still dragging out the tent every weekend. It’s one way to show the girls, “Hey, it’s the weekend!” when all of the days kind of blur together. The novelty hasn’t yet worn off, and they get a kick out of it (and for some reason, they sleep SO well in there!). We had tent nights, watched Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (they loved it), swam at my dad’s house, and got Indian food takeout. I hope you had a good one, too! Today’s post is another random one. I thought I’d share some of the things that have been awesome to have around over the past 9+ weeks. I kept these more on the silly/fun side instead of listing the obviously more important things, like our family, house, pets, health, etc. These are just some extras that have made this time at home a little less terrible. I’d love to hear about the random things you’ve been loving and enjoying while we’ve all been chillin’ here at home. 1) Frida Kahlo socks. My mom got these for me and I’ve worn them approximately 2817 times. Thankfully, there are no holes yet. My power outfit during this whole order has been lululemon shorts, Frida Kahlo socks, and a camo sweatshirt. (A couple of weeks ago, I decided to start wearing

When We Start Wearing Real Clothes Again, I’m Only Interested in Re-Creating Julia Roberts’s ’90s Style
May 18, 2020 at 11:01AM There are people with personal style so good, trends are created in their likeness. Here’s where I make a motion to live out the rest of 2020 dressed like Julia Roberts in the ’90s. With celebrity style – and fashion trends in general – invoking a decidedly ’90s spirit, the opportunity presented itself: I remembered the blazer, white tee, and slim-fit denim Julia wears at the end of Pretty Woman, one of the most perfect (and underrated) outfits of all time. From there, I went down a rabbit hole, revisiting Julia’s ’90s aesthetic, style stalking vintage paparazzi shots of Julia in a ditsy-print floral dress and ankle boots, or cropped t-shirts and wide-leg pants. Much the way Princess Diana’s biker shorts and trainers have become a ubiquitous fashion reference as of late, inspiring looks from Hailey Baldwin and Kendall Jenner, Julia’s looks from the ’90s are a whole mood of their own, worthy of celebrating and replicating, whenever it is that we all start getting dressed again. Here I’ve pulled my favorites, the ones representative of her cool, pared-down personal take on denim, menswear, and even event dressing. Take cues from the woman who did ’90s style best – and first.

6 Sandal Trends You Don’t Want to Miss This Summer
May 18, 2020 at 11:00AM After weeks of not really wearing shoes other than workout sneakers, a sandal seems oddly practical at the moment. This season is filled with trends that are not only stylish but also comfortable. Channeling ’90s and early ‘2000s nostalgia, many of these trends are definitely a throwback – think chunky flatforms, sporty sandals, and gladiators. I’m envisioning easy summer go-tos like Tevas and a cotton slip dress or gladiators with cutoff denim shorts and knit tanks. Continue Reading… Author Dana Avidan Cohn | Popsugar Selected by CWC
16 Kate Hudson Movie Outfits I’m Saving in My Back Pocket For Spring
May 18, 2020 at 11:00AM Kate Hudson‘s early 2000s movies are my prime suggestion right now for content worth absorbing during the lockdown. You’re probably like, “Yes Sarah, we know. You already dressed up like her *eye roll*.” But it’s not just How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days that’s chock-full of outfits I’d rather be wearing. I still watch Fool’s Gold obsessively before packing my bag for the beach because Kate’s character Tess reminds me to include my printed headband – no bikini is complete without it! And I still eagerly await Liv’s next outfit in Bride Wars, even though I’ve seen that movie like 10,000 times. But IDK man, that strapless Vera Wang wedding gown just gets more and more majestic every time I see it. Right now though, I’m hyper-focused on the everyday looks that I can memorize as I slowly build up my Spring wardrobe in anticipation of better, brighter days ahead. Being that a lot of 2020 trends involve incorporating styles we saw gain popularity in the late ’90s/early aughts, the characters Kate Hudson plays in some of her greatest films – You, Me and Dupree, Le Divorce, Raising Helen, and the list goes on – are filling up my mood board. Scroll down to see which outfits I fully intend on re-creating, and just try to pick a favorite.
