I’d Never Have Guessed These £38 Sandals Were From Topshop
In an era of working from home and staying in, it’s fair to say that footwear has been simplified. High-heels have been replaced with slippers, boots have been replaced with sneakers and comfort has well and truly become the key. In this sense, summer’s most popular footwear will need to adhere to a few specific categories—with comfort, ease and versatility becoming vastly important factors. With this in mind, let us introduce you to Topshop’s recent arrival. The brand’s leather twist scandals excel in all the categories above, yet also happen to be stylish and affordable, rivalling the aesthetic of a designer pair (a combination we love but don’t find very often). The pair has also won over our Shopping Editor, Joy Montgomery, who offere...
How to Give Yourself the Ultimate At-Home Pedicure
If there is one thing that I have learned about myself during this period of social distancing, it’s that I really don’t take enough care of myself. As a beauty editor, this can be a hard thing to admit. You see, I do actually dedicate an hour every evening to a rather luxurious bathing session, and my twice-daily skincare routine is quite lengthy and excessive, but when it comes to just about anything else, I’m useless. Sadly, unless I have an appointment booked to remind me, everything from my brows to my nails gets totally neglected. One area in particular that I have found myself turning a blind eye to recently is my feet. Sure, I give them a good slathering of foot cream after my nightly bath and keep my nails in check as best as I can, but am I really giving ...
53 Summer Outfits I Have Saved Recently
Since working from home, I’ve fallen into a rut of wearing the same pair of jeans and rotating between a handful of T-shirts and blouses. I’ve therefore accidentally made most of my treasured clothes redundant and have lacked any inspiration to think about new outfits when I’m barely leaving the house. But I’m determined to dive back into my wardrobe and find some joy in getting dressed again. To start this, I delved through my Saved images on Instagram. I spend more hours than I’d like to admit on this app a week and always save the outfits that I’d like to copy myself. So for those looking for some summer outfit inspiration (that feels realistic for what’s in store for summer in 2020), I’m sharing 53 outfits from my saved fo...
The 3 Trends This French It Girl Is Loving for Summer
With over half a million followers, an enviably glamourous Instagram feed and a successful womenswear brand to boot, it’s fair to say Anne Laure Mais knows a thing or two about style. The French native began her career as an influencer before launching her own label, Musier Paris, in 2018. With a wardrobe that comprises timeless staples, statement pieces and a few vintage elements for good measure, Mais epitomises everything we love about French-girl style and that je ne sais quoi. As an authority on all things fashion, we thought now would be a good time to talk to the designer about the trends she is loving for summer, as well as the wardrobe staples she can’t live without. As to be expected, Mais’s responses feature a mix of classic (vint...

This Is How the Coolest Minimalists Are Dressing Now
Over the last few seasons, it has become clear that simplicity is having another moment in the spotlight—in no small part thanks to the designs of brands such as The Row and Daniel Lee’s Bottega Veneta who are fronting this ‘minimalism 2.0’. Add to this the fact that, more than ever, shoppers are wanting to invest in pieces that last, both for budget reasons but also for ethical and sustainable implications, “Approaching each season, we look to our six muses; the fashion pioneer, the warrior, the free spirit, the curator, the romantic and the purist,” explains Natalie Kingham, buying director at MatchesFashion. “The Purist opts for minimalist style with a sleek, functional edge, and this ...
I Spent an Hour With VB’s Brow Expert—Here’s Everything I Learned
After the PR for Anastasia Beverly Hills gave me the heads-up earlier this year that Soare would be coming to the UK, I took the bold decision to stop shaping my eyebrows entirely. (As someone with seriously unruly brow hairs, this was a big step.) Luckily, though, this meant I was able to get some genuine brow advice when I did catch up with Anastasia. Plus, I asked Who What Wear readers for any burning brow questions in our Facebook group (So… Should I Buy This?), which Soare was only too happy to answer.

The Homeware I Buy From This High-Street Store Always Looks Expensive
From minimalist toothbrush holders (yes, I know) to linen table cloths that look like they’re £50 a pop (when they’re really less than a fiver) to minimal dressing gowns in pure linen as well as vintage-style vases that will enhance any bedroom or living room and even furniture that looks artisan, there are so many pieces you’ll want from the current collection. I decided to go through the latest drop and picked out the items I know you’ll want for the home. Keep scrolling to see what they are. I challenge you not to buy them.

I Just Asked 6 Makeup Artists How to Get Your Makeup to Stay Put in the Heat
When it comes to makeup, I’m a summer person. I like bronzed, glowing skin; plumped, glossy lips; big, feathered brows and pretty, shimmering eye looks. If you ask me, the glowing and glistening makeup looks of summer are far more enticing than the deeper, darker and more matte finishes that we tend to opt for during colder months. However, there is one issue that I have with summer makeup, and it’s quite a large one. It seems that no matter what I do, my makeup just won’t stay put. I could spend hours creating the perfect glowing base, and within 10 minutes of stepping outside into the heat, I’ve sweated it off. This year, however, because there are just too many new product launches and pretty inspiration pics that I want to try for myself, I’m determined to get...
Hands Down, This Is the Best High-Street Store for Sandals This Summer
I love it when items of clothing really last. And I don’t just mean in terms of trends, although that is helpful, but durability too. One pair of sandals that I’ve worn repeatedly over the past four summers is a pair of black block-heel sandals from & Other Stories. They’re classic, not too high and go with everything from jeans to midi dresses. They’re the kind of shoes I can easily wear in the office, as they’re not too high to walk around in, but they’ve also seen me through quite a few weddings. This season, & Other Stories has had a great drop of footwear that is ideal for this summer and the next few years to come. The high-street store often combines current trends with classic styles, so whenever you buy from this shop, I always think you’re getting more...
5 Unexpectedly Cool Trends Coming at Us This Summer
There are plenty of chic trends for the taking in summer 2020 (aka, styles that we can still relish in throughout quarantine)—long shorts, elevated raffia bags, uplifting tie-dye, runway-inspired crochet, and playful puff sleeves.

25 Chic Stationery Pieces I’m Sure Will Increase My Productivity
A snack. A cup of tea. Another glass of water. A quick check of Instagram. A WhatsApp to your friends of that funny video you saw of some woman making tea badly. Let’s be honest. These are just a few things that could be distracting when working from home. It is tough to remain productive, especially as we’re now many days into our routine of mostly staying in the house. So it’s time to pull out the big guns. And that means buying new stationery. I’m a firm believer in making sure you have your surroundings in check before you start working (I have to work with a tidy desk), and a great pen and a nice notepad are just part of that. Of course, stationery is so much more. There are the sticky notes, pencil cases, stamps, file holders, pencil pots, etc. I cou...
