I Wear This Wardrobe Staple Almost Everyday In Summer
Recently, I told a friend about a new purchase I’d made in the summer sales. It was of a midi skirt, that featured pleats and a unique paisley print, and to be honest I was pretty excited about how much of a bargain it was. “Of course you bought another midi skirt,” my friend said with an eye-roll. “They’re basically your summer uniform.” I’d never thought about this before, but I guess she was right. A printed midi and t-shirt is the outfit combination I wear on repeat, summer after summer. I’m not sure whether it is due to their ease, their comfort, or the fact that you can look put together while hardly trying, but midi skirts are a key element in my summer wardrobe. And I’m not alone, the item is also a hallmark in the wa...
I Just Tried the New VB Beauty Moisturiser, and I Think I’m in Love
I love glowing skin. I like my skin to have a bronze-looking glow all day long and any product that helps me achieve that while looking natural is an instant winner. And this product is just that. As far as ingredients go, it contains all the same skin-loving technology as the original formula to help support cell turnover and radiance. The main addition, however, is that the new Golden shade contains amber, bronze and white light-reflecting pearl to boost glow and radiance, and there is no pigment in there, so matching skin tone isn’t a worry. Any of the bronzy-looking colour that comes out of the tube is only a result of the pearl, meaning it disperses into a sheer, translucent veil. To tell you the truth, it really took for this formula to come my way to understand what it is that I dis...
I See These Floral Dresses Every Time I Log On Instagram
Fashion is obsessed with nostalgia. Right now, more so than ever it’s clear that we’re looking more backwards than forwards. I’d say this is the result of a future marred by a pandemic but not so. Case in point: vintage prints, and in particular vintage print dresses, have been gaining traction for some time. From Prada’s spring 2019 collection that celebrated its classic ‘ugly’ prints to Gucci‘s ’70s-rooted aesthetic, there’s been a steady build-up of this trend into our wardrobes for some time. A good test for whether a trend is really popular, you need only glance on Instagram. For me, the vintage or, I should say, vintage-style floral dress is huge in summer 2020. Every time I log on to the app (which is more than I ...
Everything Experts Want You to Know About Looking After Your Hair Right Now
It has now been over two weeks since hair salons in the UK were allowed to open, but many of us are no closer to being able to get our hands on an appointment. And it’s not surprising, really, given the circumstances. You see, a huge number of people all want their hair cut or dyed in a short space of time. However, the last couple of weeks have been more interesting than ever for hairstylists. Not only has the routine of appointments had to drastically change in order to comply with new legislation, but they have also been faced with new challenges when it comes to treatments. “If you haven’t had a haircut in over four months, the quality of the hair is definitely going to be poor. What tends to happen is that the hair starts to split up the hair shaft. Wispy ends...

This summer, it seems Holmes is continuing her reign as a fashionable fave, as the actress has been seen out in New York dressed in a few noteworthy looks.

The High Street Sandals That Go With All Of Our WFH Outfits
If there’s one summer shoe category that the Who What Wear team love above all other, it has to be the chunky sandal. We don’t care what format it comes in, be it velcro, buckle or slider, we’ll be happy as long as it comes with some junk in the trunk (or, you know, in the sole). The high street has provided a delectable selection this summer, so really we’ve been spoilt for choice. Charles & Keith have to be up there in the chunky sandal stakes, and we’ve lost count of the number of styles that we’ve added to our mental shopping list. So, seeing as both myself and Who What Wear’s assistant editor, Nell, are particularly besotted with this shoe trend, we decided to road-test Charles & Keith‘s coolest...
These Are the 8 Most-Requested Nail Looks in Salons Right Now
If you’re yet to book your first salon visit of the summer, or you’re patiently waiting for your turn to come around, chances are you’ve spent the best part of the last week looking at manicure inspiration—because that’s what we’ve been doing, too. The excitement of seeing our favourite nail technicians once again is palpable, but with so many manicure and nail art options to choose from, we’re becoming a tad overwhelmed by the choice. So, ahead of our stint in the salon chair, we thought we’d use our time wisely to discover which nail looks are the most-requested in salons right now. We consulted with some of our salons to find out which nail and manicure styles are trending this summer, direct from those firmly in the k...
Everyone I Know With Amazing Skin Uses This One Scientific Product
The ingredient in question? Vitamin C. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C might not be anything new, but it’s certainly a bit of a wonder ingredient if you aren’t already using it. Found naturally in wide range of fruit and vegetables, it’s essential to help maintain a healthy complexion by protecting your skin cells and promoting healing. As someone with acne-prone skin, I started using a vitamin C serum daily when a facialist advised me that vitamin C is a great ingredient to use if you’re looking to fade pigmentation or dark spots caused by old spots. But I was interested to find out what other benefits this ingredient has to offer. After all, since using it regularly, I’ve noticed that my scarring has diminished and my complexi...
Trust Me, These Spot Treatments Actually Work
When it comes to my job, few things wind me up more than a product that gives wildly false claims. It shouldn’t be such a big ask that, as consumers, we aren’t lied to about the powers that any one beauty product has, should it? And, while things like “cellulite” and “face-lift” creams are the worst offenders for this, I find myself getting riled up over spot treatments the most. Unlike the aforementioned beauty products that are simply never going to work because the very basis of their claims are founded on marketing drivel, spot treatments can, should and do work. Sure, they’re not going to blitz a pimple in a second, but they do have the power to dramatically reduce its severity. So what’s the issue, I hear you ask? None of them ever seem to actually work. I’ve tried countless spo...
All of the ’90s Fashion Trends That Are Still Around in 2020
Just when you think all of the possible forgotten looks from the 1990s had remained hidden, along comes another one. How much do you want a really ridiculously small bag right now? And how much better would it be if it had tiny handles and was rendered in silk-satin (see Kate Beckinsale below)? Or what about those ’90s Kate Moss images you come back to time and again for inspiration on what to wear on a night out? We’ve recently rediscovered a love for old-school SJP and combat trousers, too. The revivals are coming in thick and fast, people. Thick and fast. Keep scrolling for our guide to the ’90s fashion items, trends and combinations we wore to death and then forgot about until now. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined ...
6 Easy Summer Outfits That Are Anything But Boring
If I had to sum up my ideal approach to fashion in one phrase, it would have to be maximum impact, minimal effort. I love outfits that can be thrown on and styled in no more than five minutes flat, yet you know when you walk out the door you could fool people into thinking you spent hours carefully putting it together. While for many people, looking good during social distancing is hardly at the top of their priority list (understandably), I have found that clothes can really have a transformative effect on my mood. However, as I have found myself becoming better acquainted with my sofa, the minimal-effort part of dressing has definitely taken precedence. Thankfully, summer is a season that lends itself to the low-maintenance approach to dressing, as you can stick to simple and time-tested...
