Year: 2020

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. Keep scrolling to see our favourite pieces from the new Who What Wear collection and shop the items below.   Next up, the biggest S/S 20 fashion trends you need to know.  Author Zoe Anastasiou | Whowhatwear Selected by CWC

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. Spring/Summer 2020 Fashion Trends: What We’ll Be Wearing in This New Decade This story was published at an earlier date and has since

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

July 04, 2020 at 05:30PM “Benjamin Buttoning.” Ageing backwards. Stopping time. If there’s one effect or buzzword that elicits the same visceral reaction from beauty editors, skincare experts and customers alike, it’s anything with the term anti-ageing in it. The truth of the matter is this: There’s no miracle cream, gel, serum or treatment that has the power to actually reverse or halt the signs of ageing on the skin. (Sorry, it just doesn’t exist.) That said, there are a small number of products that come pretty close, and we’re about to share an edit of them below. Per a roster of celebrity makeup artists—Emily Cheng, Naoko Scintu and Emma White Turle—we’re uncovering a curated selection of the best anti-ageing moisturisers. The keyword here being curated because according to them, not every cream or moisturiser on the market works the same. Luckily, they find that the below six do wield high-performing effects that plump and lift the skin and combat fine lines and wrinkles. So without further ado, keep scrolling to discover what makes each one so beloved and a few of the other products they recommend building out your routine with as well. Turle introduced this cream to me by saying that it’s considered a scientific masterpiece and that she’s inclined to agree. I was immediately intrigued. “This lifts the skin from the first use,” she explained. “And over a few weeks of use, lines are diminished and skin is brighter. It’s very rich but very light and works beautifully under makeup. The driest and most tired of
