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...

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...
This Beekeeper Is Also a DJ and Music Producer Who Creates EDM Songs with His Hives
Bioni Samp is out to prove that beauty is in the eye of the bee-holder. Beekeping and DJing aren’t two hobbies that typically go hand-in-hand, unless you’re Samp, who is harnessing the transcendent nature of electronic music to educate people about the urgency of bee pollination. In a recent feature published in Modern Farmer, Samp waxed poetic about the plight of bees in today’s ecosystem. “Bees can be relaxed and meditative, but they can also be very angry,” he said. “Obviously at the moment, they’re very angry with humans.” On a mission to combat the precarious state of the world’s insect population, Samp has devoted his life to the preservation of bees. As a kid, he vividly remembers driving through the English countryside ...

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-...
These 10 Influencer-Approved Buys Are Now on Sale
We launched our Who What Wear Collection in Europe earlier this year—a curated edit designed with the most-popular insider trends in mind. Think thong sandals, oversized clutch bags, printed dresses, Bermuda shorts and statement trench coats. These pieces all have a fashion edge, but aren’t just fad trend pieces, as they are designed to be re-worn year after year. There are certain hero pieces in the collection that have been particularly popular with the influencer crowd, including a zebra top worn by Anne-Laure Mais and a lime green handbag which has been one of the most Instagrammed pictures from the collection. These items, and several more cult buys, have just gone into the summer sale on Zalando—so keep scrolling for our edit. You ...
Turn Your Ford Ranger Into a Mini-Raptor With These Factory Performance Packs
After initially reviewing the new-to-U.S. Ford Ranger upon the nameplate’s return to the American market for 2019, we were unimpressed with its already-old styling, so-so ride and handling, and low-rent cabin. To be fair, the Ranger had already been on sale for some time globally before it was modified for American customers, and we nonetheless deem it a capable truck with a solid (and segment-unique) turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine. Now Ford is injecting a bit more appeal into its mid-size pickup by upping the Ranger’s off-road capability with a new Ford Performance line of off-road accessory packs. Will these Performance packages change any of our baseline complaints about the Ranger? No, but they offer a compelling distraction from them. Available in three gr...
DJ Snake to Release Movie Recapping His Momentous Paris La Défense Arena Concert
Back on February 22nd, 2020, DJ Snake achieved a career milestone with his biggest performance to date. The multi-platinum producer put on a jaw-dropping show at the landmark Paris La Défense Arena to an audience upwards of 40,000 people. The show now holds the record for the largest single-day electronic dance music event in European history. Of course DJ Snake had the performance filmed, but this footage isn’t just going to be used for any old performance recap. “Le concert au cinéma” will be a full length cinematic experience giving fans from around the world the opportunity to relive that historic night. More than twenty cameras on-site captured the night’s events. Aside from performing his familiar smash hits “Turn Down For What,” “Lean On,...
The 12 Lesser-Known High-Street Brands We’re Championing This Year
Although the big-name high-street brands (H&M, Mango, etc.) will always have a special place in my heart, there’s something exciting about coming across a lesser-known label. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with buying into the latest trending item. However, as all true fashion lovers will know, it can be easy to become disillusioned by the identikit ensembles that can come from sticking to the well-trodden path. My solution? Take some time every few months to dig around online and discover some new brands. This will ensure that your wardrobe is kept fresh, diverse and individual and help avoid the awkward outfit-clash moment. To save you time, I’ve scoured the internet and interrogated the Who What Wear team to find our top 12 lesser-known affordable ...
The ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s Trends That Are Selling Like Crazy
It’s true: What comes around tends to go back around eventually. Since we know that fashion is cyclical in nature, it should come as no surprise when we see trends resurrect themselves from the past—sometimes from decades in the past. Designers are always revisiting the archives in order to reinvent the wheel for the seasons to come, fixating on one decade or period of time before moving onto the next. In the past several years alone, we’ve cycled through ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s fashion trends, cherry-picking which silhouettes and motifs to bring into the present-day. The great thing about vintage clothing is that if you hold onto an item for long enough, you might just see it come back into the style sp...
These Hairstyles Will Take Years Off Your Face
I don’t know about you but the past 101 days has felt long. I’ve got more grey hair, more wrinkles, and despite going to bed earlier, I’m still tired. There’s no denying that I’ve felt like I’ve aged faster in lockdown. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with this (I have no issues with changing hair colour or a few lines on my face), the speed at which it has happened has been a little disconcerting. I want to feel like myself again—and for me that means getting a haircut. Over the past few months I’ve lost count of the amount of people who have said their hair needs cutting. From my husband to my colleagues as well as my parents, the want to get a chop has been strong. Personally, I’m desperate to get my hair cut back i...
