5 Princess Diana Outfits I Can’t Wait to Copy at Home

2 min read

June 01, 2020 at 06:01PM Princess Diana is undoubtedly one of the world’s most talked-about style icons. From her voluminous 1980s wedding dress to the streamlined, minimalist gowns she donned in the early ’90s, almost everything Lady Di ever wore has been analysed and appreciated the world over. Though there is one aspect of Princess Diana’s wardrobe that has typically garnered much less attention: her off-duty outfits.   Between the cycling shorts, oversize sweatshirts, straight-leg jeans and boxy blazers, Princess Diana’s casualwear choices would not look out of place in 2020. In fact, I’d happily wear many of her more casual looks today. The royal’s aesthetic was so timeless it manages to transcend decades, particularly given the fact that bike shorts and everyday athleisure are reigning supreme right now.  With a wardrobe that consisted of quality basics including tailored beige trousers, linen button-down shirts, loafers and roll-necks, many of the items Princess Diana utilised regularly are also likely already living in your existing wardrobe.  So from gym gear to polished weekend looks, keep scrolling for five Princess Diana outfits we’d happily wear today, proving she was the ultimate off-duty muse.   Next up, the biggest S/S 20 fashion trends you need to know.  Author Zoe Anastasiou | Whowhatwear Selected by CWC

Anti-Racist Actions You Can Take Today

8 min read

June 01, 2020 at 05:38PM The devastating current events—most recently the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor—are a wake-up call for many looking to do better, help in whatever way they can, and educate themselves. It is incredibly important to our editorial team and company to make sure that we’re doing the necessary work, too. One part of that is using our platform to share some actionable ideas on how to combat racism and prejudice with our WWW community. We welcome anyone who would like to start a thoughtful conversation or add to these resources to email us at hello@whowhatwear.com. – This anti-racism resources document compiled by Sarah Sophie Flicker and Alyssa Klein in May 2020 includes books for adults and children, articles, podcasts, videos and films, and organisations to follow.  – When buying books, especially ones to educate yourself on this issue, buy from black-owned bookstores: U.K.: Roundtable Books, Ayebia, African Books Collective, New Beacon Books, Seven Oaks Bookshop. U.S.: Mahogany Books, Harrietts Bookshop, The Lit Bar, and Semicolon Bookstore. Our suggestion is to start with How to Be an Antiracist by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi. Look for Black authors first.  (NB: Reni Eddo-Lodge, author of Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race, has asked that if you buy a copy to also donate money to the Minnesota Freedom Fund or borrow a copy from a friend.) – Take Harvard’s implicit bias test to learn your level of conscious and unconscious bias on things like light versus dark skin tone preference and many other categories including race,

Toronto-Based Brand Cuchara is Making Jewellery to Invest In

3 min read

June 01, 2020 at 06:48PM We’re all looking for ways to consume style goods more mindfully right now; and it’s something that jewellery brand Cuchara’s founder has been thinking about for years. “In terms of new pieces, [I’ve] been focused on staples and building from there,” says Edilou Canedo, who launched the brand in 2014 with a selection of necklaces crafted with vintage silver spoons. Canedo—a Sagittarius with Capricorn rising—continues her use of vintage in an assortment of the brand’s rejuvenated, limited edition Zodiac pendants which are available exclusively on Cuchara’s website. “I’ve always been into astrology,” she says of her happiness at discovering a box of the retro treasures while visiting one of her suppliers. “It was an exciting find. They weren’t polished or plated; now they have a whole new aesthetic and beauty to them.” View this post on Instagram Back to business A post shared by C U C H A R A (@cucharajewelry) on Jan 6, 2020 at 8:37am PST //www.instagram.com/embed.js The designer has also mined her musical influences in naming items from Cuchara’s Ideal collection; you’ll find Etta (James), Patti (Smith) and Stevie (Nicks) honoured amongst what Canedo describes as pieces that aren’t part of a trend, and will last beyond a season. “These artists, in my mind, will never go out of style,” she says, adding that this timeless quality “goes hand-in-hand” with the notion of stalwart styles like the links, chains and other enduring designs she creates. “They’re pieces that can be worn
