Oh, No! Honda Accord Drops Manual Transmission for 2021
One of our favorite aspects of the excellent Honda Accord sedan is no more. Honda confirmed to MotorTrend that the Accord’s available six-speed manual transmission has been discontinued, a decision highlighted at the end of Honda’s press materials for its 2021 lineup (which also includes major news for the Civic). In fact, the stick-shift Honda quietly went out of production in December of 2019, but the move went unnoticed because those already-built models are still circulating among dealers. The Accord has long been associated with the manual transmission, and folks on our side of the business might even go so far as to claim credit for its continued availability—the midsize Honda sedan’s penchant for winning awards is due in no small part to its see...
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...

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)?

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...
Princess Beatrice Just Got Married In a Vintage Dress Belonging to the Queen
The royal weddings we’ve seen over the past decade have included enormous guest lists and processions through crowds of thousands, however Princess Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi yesterday in a small intimate ceremony at The Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor. It’s fitting for this small family ceremony that Beatrice’s wedding dress was such a sentimental choice—she wore a vintage Norman Hartnell embellished gown that belongs to her grandmother the Queen. Beatrice made some alterations to the vintage dress, working with Stewart Parvin and Angela Kelly to add delicate organza puff-sleeves underneath the existing statement straps and add a new trim on the skirt. The Queen first wore this evening gown in 1961 to a state dinner in Rome and then a year lat...
A Timeline of Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith & August Alsina’s ‘Entanglement’
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith came together for a Red Table Talk on Friday (July 10), but the table was turned when he interviewed his wife about recent relationship rumors with singer August Alsina. She cleared the air and described her previous relationship with the 27-year-old artist as an “entanglement.” Billboard compiled a timeline that unwinds what happened between the three of them. April 10, 2019 – Alsina denies his remix of Kehlani‘s “Nunya” has lyrics about Pinkett Smith. When the relationship rumors between the two sprung up last spring, he seemed to fuel the fire by dropping a remix of Kehlani’s “Nunya” track with Dom Kennedy from her 2019 EP While We Wait. The official video features his Animoji singing ...

14 Bucket Hats To Keep You Safe In The Sun This Summer
A few years ago, if you’d asked me about my opinion on buckets hats, the response wouldn’t have been a positive one. My only association with the item was primary school in Australia, where a strict “no hat, no play” rule was enforced daily, meaning that if you didn’t have a wide-brimmed hat atop your head, you weren’t allowed outside during recess or lunchtime. However, while the item might have played somewhat of an antagonist role in my youth, bucket hats seem to have had quite the makeover in recent years, going from dreaded item to fashion must-have. With cult brands like Ganni and Faithfull creating the item in a myriad of fun prints and contemporary colourways, buckets hats have become a hallmark of the stylish women’s summer wardrobe. Influencers from Lucy Williams t...
