Month: July 2020

July 05, 2020 at 06:30AM Working in the beauty industry definitely has its perks. Not only is it an industry full of amazingly creative and inspirational women and men, but it’s also incredibly fun. Although we might not get to sit and play with lipstick and serums all day, it is a big part of the job. Which brings me to perhaps one of the most obvious perks, free products. And while being sent all of the latest beauty products is without a doubt a blessing, it does come with its issues. The main one being storage.  You see, the number of new beauty products that launch every single week is a bit overwhelming, and quite frankly, it’s all too easy to end up having more products than you do space (and face). It wasn’t until I started to have a spring clean of my own collection a couple of weeks ago that I realised my at-home beauty-organisation system simply wasn’t working for me. I had boxes, drawers, cupboards and shelves full of products with no rhyme or reason whatsoever. So, seeking inspiration, I reached out to some industry insiders (and some of beauty’s biggest names) to see if they would be happy to share their beauty-storage secrets and give us a sneak peek at the sorts of products they reach for every day. Luckily, they all obliged. Keep scrolling to see what they had to say. “Storing my beauty product is something I’m always trying to figure out. I think the first thing to do

July 05, 2020 at 06:08AM You know the drill: You pop on to Topshop‘s site to pick up a basic tee and end up with a basket full of dresses instead. We can’t blame you right now, as the high-street store’s offering is so good. But because no one’s wardrobe is big enough for the whole lot (there are currently over 628 dresses online right now), we’ve done the hard work for you and picked the hero styles you may want to consider adding to your closet. So what are the trends that Topshop is backing this season? From floral dresses and roomy smocks to long-sleeve numbers and sassy silhouettes, there’s something for everyone. We’ve got our eyes on the dresses that are versatile enough to carry right through to autumn, so many of the below styles will look just as good with sandals as they do with knee-high boots. It’s all about that cost per wear. Thankfully, there have been plenty of fashionable individuals who have been spotted in these winning frocks, and so we have more than enough inspiration to keep our wardrobes feeling fresh.  Keep scrolling to see our favourite spring-ready Topshop dresses.  Next up, the biggest S/S 20 fashion trends you need to know.  This post was originally published at an earlier date and has since been updated.

July 05, 2020 at 06:02AM Over the last few months, with social gathering and celebrations largely postponed, there have been very few reasons to get all dressed up. For many, our favourite dresses have remained unworn, hanging in the back of our closets just waiting for a special occasion. Though here at Who What Wear, we believe you shouldn’t have to wait to wear your favourite clothes, which is why we set out to try trial Who What Wear’s recently-released new collection during a local (socially-distanced) park visit.  Featuring vivid summer colours—including pink, orange and red—and several of the season’s buzziest trends such as pleats, gingham and open-back silhouettes, Who What Wear’s latest collection ticks all the boxes for a stylish 2020. As the perfect complement to a sunny day, each dress shines in summer weather or could become the perfect brightly coloured antidote to a cloudy grey day. From park picnics to backyard barbecues and beyond, these dresses are not simply for special occasions, and this summer especially, we’re advocating for wearing your best dresses day to day.

July 05, 2020 at 06:00AM We might only be in the first few weeks of summer, however the weather this week is making me think forward to autumn. I am by no means ready to say goodbye to bare legs, weekend picnics in the park or , but as a fashion editor I’m always looking forward, and I am ready to say hello to some of these new collections.  Autumn outfits can require quite a bit of planning. Coat or no coat? How many layers are too many layers? The below outfit ideas will see you cooler days over the next few months, and serve you in September and October also. We find that this time of year is when stock is switching over from linen dresses and sandals to knitwear and trench coats is the perfect moment to take a pause and really think about what is missing from your autumn wardrobe before you start adding to it. The below outfits include several classics that you’d typically expect from an autumn capsule, including trench coats, leather jackets and jeans, alongside some new additions which feel really relevant this autumn. Think Mary Janes worn with ankle socks, ’70s-style fringed suede jackets and pleated skirts that look amazing when worn with blazers. Keep scrolling to see and shop 9 of our favourite autumn outfits. Style Notes: Experiment with autumnal colours as well as longer sleeves and high-waisted trousers for a current look.  Style Notes: There’s nothing easier to wear than a checked blazer thrown on over

July 05, 2020 at 05:54AM The team at Who What Wear UK prides itself on uncovering cult items before they’ve even made it off the production line. We’re keen, to say the least, and a great portion of our time is spent documenting and analysing the Instagram posts of the thousands of cool women we follow on Instagram for high-street sightings. In fact, we have WhatsApp groups and Slack channels dedicated to these affordably priced power pieces, and we want to update you on them as soon as possible (aka after we’ve bought our faves). Our skills are so attuned that more often than not, we’ll have an inkling about a certain piece before it has hit the big time. Sometimes, you’ll find a flurry of brand-specific action due to a paid activation or natural desire to wear a particular thing or label. But other times, it’ll be a slow and steady accumulation of saved posts that start to make a trend clear to me—especially when a vast array of influencers start favouring the very same items over a longer period of time. Either way, please trust that we’re on it. Right now, there are some beautiful items making a strong bid for inclusion in this gallery. From a timeless Arket shirt to an H&M dress that looks way beyond its high-street price tag, keep reading to see my picks of influencers wearing the latest high-street items.

July 05, 2020 at 05:03AM Between a pandemic that has kept us at home and the sweltering heat that always accompanies this time of year, there are fewer and fewer reasons to put on a pair of jeans anymore. If you are looking to keep your denim in rotation right now, though, be my guest. But if you’re anything like me, you’ll be itching to discover some summer alternatives. Fashion girls are on the same page here, and I’ve spotted them swapping looser bottoms into their summer outfits, and some rather chic ones at that. Taking the lead are billowy, wide-leg trousers and all manner of shorts from track shorts to knit shorts and even one rather chic new legging trend that will have you rethinking basic leggings. Once you discover these five fresh options, I have a hunch you’ll also be inclined to branch out from your denim stack and into new territory. Who knows? Maybe you’ll even discover a jean alternative that will get more airtime than your beloved jeans ever did.  Like it or not, long Bermuda-length shorts are here to stay. The tailored look is a favorite for when you want to look polished without trying too hard, which is why fashion people have been quick to choose them over jeans lately. Remember when all anyone could wear or talk about were jogging bottoms? Well, they haven’t quite stopped; they’ve simply turned their attention to warm-weather friendly shorts. Tailored but slouchy, this trouser silhouette is everywhere right now, and the creamy beige tones many of them come in couldn’t
