2021 Hyundai Veloster N First Look: Automatically Better?
It’s official. The 2021 Hyundai Veloster N welcomes a self-shifting transmission to the hot hatch’s options menu. Don’t worry manual fans, the car’s standard-issue six-speed gearbox sticks around. See all 26 photos Performance Package, Shmerformance Package The 2021 Veloster N, however, does away with the outgoing model’s optional Performance package. Or rather, it no longer charges extra for the contents of the package’s kit. As such, every 2021 Veloster N boasts 275 hp from the turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four that rests underhood (the prior, standard 250-hp tune no longer exists), a limited-slip differential, 19-inch wheels shod on sticky summer tires, a variable exhaust system, and large 13.6-inch front and 12.4-inch rear vented rotors (0.6-i...
Small But Mighty: 50 Pieces From the Coolest Independent Brands
Sadly, some of these labels are being hit by the current crisis, and as a publication, we’re doing our very best to support the talent we love in any way possible. That’s why we’ve dedicated our end-of-month shopping gallery to these independent brands. Honestly, we were spoilt for choice, and we wish we could include every brand we came across online (although that would turn into a long article), but we managed to whittle it down to 50 summer-ready pieces. Of course, we understand that many of you are tightening the purse strings right now, but we would love for you to show your support by giving your favourite independent brand some airtime on social media, posting a nice comment on its feed or even just ...
This is My Secret to Making High Street Clothes Look Expensive
As a shopping editor I spend a large quantity of my time scrolling through online stores, eagle-eyed and on the lookout for the best buys. As we’re a site that tries to cater to all needs (high street, high-end and second-hand), I like to think that I have a pretty good idea of what constitutes a successful purchase. This is, however, a particularly tricky alchemy when it comes to high street, as you can’t always rely on price to guarantee quality (which, to be fair, it doesn’t always). While there are a few items that can benefit from a little more expense, in general I’d say that you can usually find expensive-looking high street iterations of most wardrobe staples. In my experience fabric is key, and while that m...

Sienna Miller Just Wore A Pair Of £20 Mango Trousers—And They’re Still In Stock
Sienna Miller has always been an advocate of high-low fashion. One day the actress might be dressed to the nines in a designer gown for a red carpet event, and the next she is seen sporting a high-street coat. With all the access one could ever want, Miller often chooses to don affordable items and that’s just one of the many things we love about the actress’s enviable fashion sense. Further proving her penchant for attainable style, this week Sienna was spotted out and about in New York wearing a pair of wide-leg beige trousers by beloved high-street label Mango. In a summer-friendly cotton-blend fabric, the trousers feature a high-waist, belted detailing and just so happen to be on sale. They’re currently retailing for £20. Of course, it...
2021 Lucid Air’s DreamDrive Driver Assistance Package Will Include 32(!) Sensors
The latest drop in Lucid’s drip-drip prelude to its September 9th reveal of the slippery looking Air, its first model, is its driver assistance sensor suite. The moniker they’ve chosen for the comprehensive setup -which includes a monstrous 32-sensor count!—is “DreamDrive,” and it’s akin to Cadillac’s Super Cruise in that it promises a lot (Super! Dream!) while astutely steering clear of the suggestion of autonomy that apparently has caused some of Tesla’s Autopilot users to recklessly play smartphone games or take 70-mph naps. But it’s that 32-sensor suite that’ll make DreamDrive either a fantasy or a nightmare, and the sheer number of sensors, at least, is certainly promising. There are 14 cameras: Three forward-facing,...
GMC Drops More Details About Its 2022 Hummer EV Pickup and SUV
We’re starting to get a fuller picture of what the new GMC Hummer line of electric trucks and SUVs will look like, as well as what features the two vehicles will pack—although the latest teaser video raises more questions than it answers. What’s “Crab mode?” We can make some educated guesses, but we’re assuming it doesn’t involve a bib, warm butter, and some cut lemons. Let’s start with the truck’s profile, which clearly resembles its chunky ancestors—particularly the Hummer H2 SUT, although there are some significant styling differences. For one, the still-small bed looks longer. The C-pillars rake more toward the vehicle’s front, too. And instead of a “cowl” surrounding the rear window, as on the H2 SUT, there’s more...
Carl Cox to Showcase Luxury Motorsport Vehicles in 2021 London Motor Show Comeback
Fans of Carl Cox know that dance music isn’t his only passion—the legendary DJ and producer is also a car fanatic. What started as just a hobby soon became a major part of his life, eventually leading him to start his Carl Cox Motor Sport brand. Both he and his motorsport team are now key figures in the return of the London Motor Show next year. Organizers of the auto event recently announced its new 2021 dates, July 16th to 18th, at the Evolution London in Battersea Park. Cox has been named the new ambassador for the show, which will focus on “technology, innovation, electric and hybrid vehicles, luxury brands, classics, and city cars,” according to ClassicCars.com. “Having an association with Carl and the team is amazing,” said show chairman A...
These Perfect Neutral Nail Colours Are Ideal If You’re a Minimalist
When it comes to nail colours, I personally like to play it safe. November to March I’m a CND Oxblood disciple (thanks Monikh for that addiction), but once spring and summer come around, I’m all about those understated neutrals. Call me a minimalist but I’ve never been one for fancy nail art, or a constant rotation of different colours. Not because I’m not a fan— some of the recent lockdown looks filling Instagram almost had me reaching for the nail pen. It’s mainly because I’m just awful at doing my own nails and unfortunately don’t have the patience, or money, to visit the salon every week. I like my manis to work hard and that’s exactly what a neutral does. Whether it’s a creamy beige, chic taupe or pale pink, neutrals are arguably the most versatile nail colour you...
These Are The 12 Trending Tops of Summer
Do you ever find yourself scrolling through Instagram, only to be struck by a really great piece of clothing? Maybe it’s a particularly chic puff sleeve shirt, or the dress that seems to be infiltrating the feeds of several stylish influencers. Often when this happens, the first instinct is to find out where the item is from, though it’s not always the easiest thing to do. That’s why here at Who What Wear, we often take the time to hunt down the specific items of clothing you see online, whether it be a trending summer sandal or a highly coveted silk skirt. Today, we’re here to talk all things trending tops, so whether you’ve seen Zeena Shah in that multicoloured Ganni blouse and wondered where you can get it, or you’ve spotted Anne...
The Designer Bags That We Really Love for 2020
At the beginning of the year, we already knew which designer bags were going to dominate in 2020. How did we predict correctly? Well, it’s a lot more than just guesswork. We spend time speaking to brands, buyers and looking at what’s trending in the fashion industry to see which bags are going to come out on top during the year. Of course, cult buys and new brands can emerge at any moment surprising even the most seasoned of fashion buyers and editors, but there are certain new styles that I guarantee we’ll be talking about as hero buys this December. That said, we didn’t know the pandemic was coming and the financial implications of that on the fashion industry and personal budgets. However, despite this, global fashion search platform Lyst revealed...
I Swear by These Cooling Beauty Products to Keep Me Feeling Refreshed in Summer
Like most people, I love the summer months. I love that I don’t have to worry about bulky coats ruining my outfits, I love being able to be outside and actually enjoy it and, most of all, I love lapping up all of that vitamin D. However, that’s not to say that I don’t seriously struggle with the heat. While the summer usually leaves my skin glowing and my hair subtly sun-kissed, withstanding the uncomfortable heat sometimes makes it feel like it’s not worth it. It makes me lethargic, agitated and flustered. On top of that, hot weather can really take its toll on our summer beauty routines, too. From melting foundation to sweat-inducing moisturisers, there’s nothing enjoyable about trying to beautify yourself in 25+ climes. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking...
