When it comes to minimalist’s whose aesthetic we admire, it’s hard to go past Marianne of Smyth Sisters. The influencer regularly posts enviable pared-back outfits that feature expert tailoring and neutral colour tones. She also has a special talent for finding expensive-looking staples on the high-street, which makes her one to watch when you’re in the market for an affordable gem.  Recently, she’s been sporting a pair of padded leather sandals which easily look as if they could pass as designer, but just so happen to be from & Other Stories. The flat sandals feature an on-trend slingback silhouette, velcro closure and padded straps making for a comfortable summer shoe that can be perfectly paired against a myriad of outfits, including silky...

Unless you’re a die-hard jeans-all-year-round kind of person, then I bet you have a couple of summer dresses lurking in your wardrobe. Or, you might be someone who wears dresses all the time and can’t think of any reason as to why you’ve ever wear trousers. What I’m saying is if you seriously hate dresses, then look away now for here you will only find frocks and that’s it. At Who What Wear we pride ourselves on knowing a lot about dresses—we write about them enough and spend hours looking at the latest collections—so it makes sense that we should use our knowledge of all the best versions out there to create up-to-date edits of frocks that you’ll not only love but will also wear for a long time. Today, I’m writing about floral summer dresses ...

Currently, we are right in the midst of the hottest week of the year in the UK. It’s our first real heatwave of the summer, and as you can imagine, people are looking for any way to stay cool as the mercury rises. While we may not all be in close proximity to a body of water, or have an air-conditioner at our disposal, Instagram is providing plenty of warm-weather friendly outfit options.  In fact, one particular summer top trend seems to have gained popularity amongst the fashion set, though ironically, it doesn’t actually involve a top at all. From London to Cophenhagen, Toronto to Oslo, influencers everywhere are embracing the scarf as a top trend, folding printed silk squares in half to create diamond shapes that are fastened at the back. It’s a simple ...

Gwyneth in Ralph Lauren at the Oscars, Rihanna in Giambattista Valli at the Grammys and Villanelle in Molly Goddard. What do these three women—real and fictional—have in common? Iconic pink dresses. While colors like black or red are usually associated with more standout looks, the pastel or vibrant shades of pink are still a knock-out. My theory is that it’s a more joyful, fun hue. If, like me, you’re prone to loving a pink dress, then have I got great news for you: H&M has just dropped what might be the ultimate pink frock for the summer.  This might be a little hyperbolic, but trust me when I say this dress is incredibly good. It’s oversize. Tick. Has puffed sleeves. Tick. And has a neckline that is ideal for layering necklaces. Tick, ...

I don’t know about you, but interiors are all I can think about right now. So I did what we love to do at Who What Wear: I decided to ask some of the people I follow on Instagram about what’s on their dream interiors wish lists. All of the six women I spoke to have different tastes when it comes to their homes. Some love bold and bright pastels, others love minimalist aesthetics, and others are completely eclectic. However, they were all clear on one thing: You should always choose pieces that you love and represent you. I realise that especially right now, not all of us are lucky enough to live somewhere that is spacious, and cabin fever is pretty much a constant state. However, there’s something to be said for getting inspiration on how to adapt our living areas—no...
