The Cult Sneakers That Go With Everything in Our Wardrobes
When Emma Watson and Meghan Markle wore a pair of trainers by the conscious French brand Veja, it quickly became one of the most talked-about sneaker brands in the UK. The classic white basket sneaks (made from recycled plastic bottles and wild rubber) feature the distinctive V logo in varying colours on each side. Emma Watson first wore the trainers back in October 2016, but it wasn’t until 2018 when Meghan wore them that the seemingly simple lace-ups started gaining such widespread popularity. Much like other classic trainers (think Converse and Vans), these have rapidly become a staple for when you need a comfortable yet stylish pair of shoes. Plus, these sneakers are so minimalist in design that they work with every type of ensemble—from midi dresses to straight-leg jeans. The Ve...
The £18 Product That Jourdan Dunn Uses for Actual Supermodel Skin
I’m not usually one for purporting claims that certain products can give you supermodel skin. In fact, with a long history of acne, I actively rally against the marketing spiel that brands offer up in their quest to sell “perfect skin” to the masses. However, when I heard about a product that an actual supermodel swears by for her genuinely glowing skin, I immediately perked up. Plus, it’s got the A-list seal of approval. A quick poll of the Who What Wear editors showed that this cult product has widespread appeal. The supermodel in question is the gorgeous Jourdan Dunn, who—let’s face it—is glowy-skin goals. And the product that she’s been raving about? Pixi Glow Tonic—a glycolic acid with cult status in the beauty industry. In an interview with Into t...

Kate Middleton’s Face Mask Is Very Kate Middleton
Since face masks are part of our new normal, why not have a little fun with them? We’ve already reported on the prettiest face masks and the best ones to buy based on your personal style, and now Kate Middleton has renewed our interest in finding a cute face mask to coordinate with our outfits. The Duchess of Cambridge visited with members of the volunteer-based organization Baby Basics, which helps disadvantaged families provide for their newborns. Middleton helped to unload supplies and talked to families that use the program while wearing the Amaia Kids Cotton Face Mask in Pepper Liberty (£15). The cute mask features a delicate Liberty of London floral print, perfectly aligning with Middleton’s graceful, charming, and polished-yet-relatable style. Plus, it’s a very Br...

Will Ram Build an Electric Pickup Truck to Battle the Ford F-150 EV?
Ford, General Motors, Rivian, and Tesla, have all revealed plans for electric pickup trucks, but so far, Ram has remained quiet on the topic. Until now, that is. A report from The Detroit News suggests the brand is indeed eyeing an electric truck for when the proper market conditions arise. In a recent earnings call, Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley talked about the Ram EV’s potential: “The reason we haven’t spoken much about electric pickup trucks is not because we view that market as nonexistent. But we’ve always had a slightly different view of timing and adoption rates, particularly in North America in terms of full electrification.” He added that the company is “very committed” to its electrification strategy. “We haven’t revealed everything,” Manley continued. “But obviousl...

I Just Cleared Out My Entire Beauty Collection—Here’s What I Kept
There are significant perks to being a beauty editor. Getting to play with makeup all day is one; being privy to some of the most well-kept industry secrets is another. The most obvious, however, is the fact that we are constantly surrounded by the latest products. Whether it’s the latest serum or mascara, you better believe we’ve tried every last thing that we recommend. And it truly is a wonderful thing. Over the last few months, however, we beauty editors have found ourselves in a bit of a conundrum. You see, part of our job is receiving numerous parcels a day, each containing the latest products so that we can test and review them for ourselves. And while this can be easily managed in an office environment where storage and recycling bins are aplenty, since working from home, the situa...
Your Lips Have Been Waiting for These Smudge-Free Lipsticks
There’s no betrayal quite like a lipstick that appeared to be the one, and then an activity such as having lunch, sipping from a water bottle or wearing a face mask, shows its true colours. The disappointment of witnessing the remnants of your lipstick decorating your bottle or lunchtime fork is all so very hard to bear. Let’s not even get started on the lipstick that’s now smudged way outside of the confines of your lip line. All this to say, with face masks being a new part of our routine, this is not the economy for wearing lipsticks that smudge. There’s some criteria that’s needed when it comes to the best no-smudge lipsticks. It needs to stay put and not leave a Joker-esque smile on the lining of your new floral print face mask, but it can’t leave...
Will Kandi Crush Our Expectations With Its $19,999 EV?
Tiger King introduced us to characters such as Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin, as well as the weird world of big cat collectors and rescuers. It also reminded us about the existence of the $10,599 Kandi Coco, which briefly appears in scenes of the series filmed at Exotic’s Oklahoma zoo. Nearly a decade ago, the Chinese brand’s small, Smart-like electric vehicle was available to Oklahomans for as little as $865 thanks to then-available federal and state tax credits. Now, Kandi is back with two new EVs it plans to sell in the United States: the Model K27 and Model K23. Curiously, the numerically higher Model K27 is the cheaper, lower-performance version of the two. That said, it’s also the better looking of this pair. Mind you, looks are subjective and the K27 is anything but pretty. 2021 Ka...
Self-Parking Cars Explained: How Does Automatic Park Assist Work?
I’d love to know how many wheels are curbed and bumpers are tapped each year in attempts to parallel park. There’s a whole industry of rubber bumper guards built around how difficult parking alongside a curb can be; crowded cities like New York are full of them. You might catch yourself thinking, “If cars can sort of drive themselves, why can’t they sort of park themselves?” They can. How Does Self-Parking Work? Most cars with self-parking capability can’t actually do it all themselves. These systems can locate a parallel (and in some cases a perpendicular or diagonal) parking spot upon activation by utilizing proximity sensors on the front, side, and rear of the vehicle; often, the tech requires activating a turn signal to indicate what side of the road it should look for a space. Once th...
These Chanel Sandals Are Almost Too Beautiful to Wear
As far as brands go, few are as iconic as Chanel. The storied French label has been around for over a century and is often regarded as synonymous with all things luxury. Whether it be clothing, handbags, eyewear or accessories, if it has a Chanel logo on it, you can bet it is going to be coveted by the masses. Where footwear is concerned, in recent years, the brand has reimagined quite a few of its most iconic items. From the dual-toned slingback pumps that were seen on the feet of almost every editor between 2016 and 2018 to the instantly recognizable espadrilles, which (in my opinion) are far too fancy for the beach, Chanel is known for producing wish list–worthy footwear. Of course, this summer is no different, as the label has created a selection of shoes that is just as in-demand as ...
