I Think This High Street Store Has the Best Sandals This Summer
For years, Arket has been a brand that customers have learned to depend on for quality items with a minimalist appeal. The brand specialises in those pieces that feel contemporary, yet are refined enough to remain in your closet for years to come. Therefore it comes as relatively no surprise that Arket’s current footwear offering ticks all of those same boxes. With leather finishes and clean lines, Arket’s current sandal range is a minimalist’s dream, complete platform slides, heeled thong sandals and strappy flats. In timeless colourways predominantly including tan, black and beige, the collection can easily blend in with your current wardrobe, becoming the perfect understated outfit addition. In fact, we predict this collection will soon be on the feet of inf...
The Summer Trend I’m Wearing to Feel Comfy and Pulled-Together
First thing’s first: The 2020 linen suit comes in many iterations. Naturally, there’s plenty of polished two-pieces that wouldn’t look out of place in an office, but what I’ve loved is how some influencers have incorporated mis-matched linen blazers and trousers to give a more eclectic finish. You can basically make it as pulled-together or as laid back as you like. Most of the designs this season come in beige and cream hues, which are classic enough to look good for many seasons to come. However, if you’re looking for a little more personality, you will also find brighter shades from the likes of Joseph and ASOS. Personally, I’ll be wearing my suit with a white tee and Birkenstocks for a Zoom-ready smart-casual ...
16 Feel-Good Items on My Summer Wish List
Hello! It’s Elinor Block, Who What Wear’s assistant editor, sharing with you my picks for the month. As we’re easing out of lockdown, I’ve had time to think about the products—fashion, beauty and lifestyle—that have genuinely kept me going. I don’t have any real words of wisdom for how I kept (mostly) sane, but sticking to a routine has been invaluable. That includes getting properly dressed in the mornings in clothes I love and putting on makeup. It also includes wearing a smartwatch, which has helped me stay on top of my activity levels. And I’ve never been watch person before. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power.

This Is Summer’s It Bag, According to the Fashion Set
Raffia tote bags have been a hallmark of the quintessential summer wardrobe for decades. From Brigitte Bardot to Kate Moss and Alexa Chung, over the years many stylish women have chosen the item for beach days, park picnics and beyond. However, while the carryall has typically held an under-the-radar, effortless kind of appeal, recently raffia tote bags have become quite the It item thanks to Spanish luxury brand, Loewe. Featuring an adjustable leather handle and the brand’s instantly recognizable insignia, Loewe’s raffia totes bags have become somewhat ubiquitous amongst the fashion set. From Camille Charriere to Pernille Teisbeak, the item—which is available in various colours and sizes—has graced my Instagram feed more times than I can count in recent we...
I Searched the Sales, and These Are the Pieces You Need to See
Unlike the January sales (which all start within a week of each other), the summer sales can be harder to keep track of. Their start dates will be staggered across the months, meaning you have to be more strategic. This month is big for sale shoppers and designer lovers, as MatchesFashion is dropping its prices. And there’s no forgetting the high-street brands, including Arket and Topshop, which have everything from boilersuits to summer dresses. Of course, we’re heading toward those cult buys we’ve spotted all over our Insta feeds so far this year, but we’re also picking the pieces you’ll still want to for many years to come. Yes, we mean Wandler bags and Arket tailoring. To help you navigate the often-confusing summer sale season, we...
6 Shopping Habits I’ve Adopted to Become a More Mindful Consumer
Somewhat inadvertently, I became a minimalist. Not solely with the style of clothing and accessories that I gravitate toward — though I do revel in clean lines, classic silhouettes, and neutral colours — but also with my space and the amount of “stuff” in it. For the last three years, I’ve primarily worked from home (which is a one-bedroom apartment that I share with my fiancé in Manhattan), wherein certain clothing types no longer made sense. While I’ve always maintained a clean and relatively clutter-free space, I routinely became distracted by the little messes that would pile up around my workspace, from papers to clothing. My focus derailed and shifted into a full-on deep clean of my apartment on more occasions than I’d like to admit. To wit, on days when...
The Bike-Friendly Summer Outfits I’m Wearing Instead of Lycra
Like many Londoners, I have retired my Oyster card and now venture as far as I can either walk or cycle. My Strava has never seen such a flurry of activity, as I’m doing a cycling tour of London’s parks for socially distanced picnics. The only downside is I don’t want to turn up at 30th birthday picnics in padded Lycra shorts and zip-up jerseys that I’d usually wear for a long ride, but I learned the hard way that midi skirts and bike chains just don’t mix. So although the Scandi Instagram crowd might cycle in printed midi dresses, I wouldn’t risk the oil spillage. I’m seeing as many bikes on my Instagram feed as I am white sheets hanging up as backdrops, but some of the outfits would be wildly impractical for a bike ride longer than one minute. I ...
The Basic ’90s Trend That Is Making the Rounds on Instagram
Characterised by a figure-skimming cut and strappy neckline, this summer staple harks back to the minimalist styles championed by the likes of Rachel and Phoebe from Friends. It’s also one of those trends that tip-toe the line between fancy and casual, a factor that can be determined by both the fabric and the way in which you style it. This year’s iterations come either in textural cotton and linen fabrics or silken satins, but the great thing is that both can easily be grounded with chunky sandals or elevated with strappy heels. One particular linen ASOS style (as seen on Naaomi Ross) saw serious success this June with its flattering mint-green shade and clean-lined silhouette. It might be close to selling out, but it’s...
19 ASOS Dresses That Will Work All Year Round
ASOS is perhaps most loved for its dress section (whether it’s a summer smock or knitted winter number), and this season, the brand has outdone itself. Upon browsing the new-in section, we couldn’t help but notice that ASOS is serving up a host of summer-ready frocks—some of which are promptly selling out.

16 High-Street Summer Dresses That Minimalists Will Love
It took me far longer than I’d care to admit to realise that, in fact, this is not a style persona that works for me (no matter how many peasant skirts I buy). I just like tailoring too much. However, it was when I ventured into a COS store that everything clicked into place. While I’ll never be a complete fashion purist, there was something about the brand’s simplicity and clean-lined minimalism that made everything feel so chic. As luck would have it, the last 12 months have seen minimalistic style continue its upward trajectory, with influencers foregoing the look-at-me extraversion that proliferated in 2018 and instead opting for unprinted shirtdresses, simple slips and voluminous smocks. So many brands, from & Other Stories to A...

Holly Just Wore a Lesser-Known Dress Brand We Know You’ll Love
Honestly, what would we do without Instagram? I’m trying not to think about the amount of time I’m spent on the app during lockdown but it has meant I’ve been able to stay updated with Holly Willoughby‘s fashion choices. The TV presenter has a knack of wearing cool brands but outfits that don’t feel too “fashion”, if you know what I mean. Today’s choice? A dress by vintage-inspired brand Coco Fennell. The eponymous label was created in 2011 and Fennell, who was previously featured in Best Wardrobes in Britain, told us her reasons behind creating the brand: “Both me and my sister had fluctuated in weight quite a lot around the time when I started [the brand] and I think when we were both bigger, it was really difficult to find well-...
