The Surprising Store I’m Turning to for Co-Ords This Summer
While I would hardly call myself a loungewear enthusiast, the recent time spent at home has almost been enough to change my mind. Historically, I have never prioritised the need for elevated or polished-looking loungewear, choosing to instead spend my money on clothing I’d wear outside of the house. Up until now (I am embarrassed to admit), I have resorted to mostly wearing loungewear in the form of tattered joggers and oversize T-shirts, though there’s nothing like a lockdown to help change my mind. In recent months, I’ve found myself drawn to smarter looking loungewear pieces and, in particular, have been browsing coordinated sets in an effort to create looks that feel slightly more cohesive than the old leggings and any-jumper-you-can-find combo.

10 Outfits I Want to Copy for Dress-Up Friday
We’ve all heard the phrase “all dressed up and nowhere to go,” but this year the term has been given entirely new meaning. With restrictions on social gatherings and forced closures of pubs, bars and restaurants, we all literally have nowhere to go, though that certainly hasn’t stopped our favourite influencers and It girls from continuing to dress up. Between shimmering minidresses and floral embellished midis, influencers worldwide are persisting with putting on their finest even if it is simply to bake a cake, work from home or lounge on the couch. A few weeks back, Who What Wear UK introduced Dress-Up Fridays, an initiative which encourages us all to put on something extra special to celebrate the conclusion of the week (and ensure we’re getting out of our...
I Speak to Dermatologists Every Day—These Are the Brands They Always Recommend
The best thing about being a beauty editor is that I get the opportunity to speak with some of the world’s top beauty experts basically every single day. From celebrity makeup artists to Harley Street surgeons, I am forever picking the brains of experts in a bid to learn everything there is to know about beauty. And while picking up different makeup tips and tricks is wonderful, the one thing I am always most fascinated by is the sort of products skin experts swear by. There’s no doubt that shopping for skincare can be daunting and often frustrating, and not just because of the abundance of choice. All too often we are let down by miracle claims that don’t live up to their promises. And while most medical skin experts and dermatologists insist that if you have seri...
I Love This Subtle Blush Nail Varnish, and It’s the Queen’s Favourite Too
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: My biggest beauty gripe is chipped nail varnish. And I’m saying this as I sit here typing away with bright, poppy red nails that are well overdue removal (I’m a hypocrite, okay?!). However, the first thing on my agenda this evening when I clock off is to get this varnish off my nails and repaint them so that they look fresh, neat and, well, polished. You see, the problem with opting for bright nails is that it doesn’t wear particularly well. And that is the very reason that around two years ago I swapped my signature red polish for a more understated look. I discovered that opting for a blush shade that is close to my natural nail colour creates a fresh, pretty, glossy finish that, most importantly, doesn’t show any obvious chips or ...
I Think I’ve Found the Perfect Shampoo for Every Hair Type
“Hair is everything. We wish it wasn’t so we could actually think about something else occasionally, but it is. It’s the difference between a good day and a bad day.” Truer words were never spoken than in Fleabag’s speech to maligned hairdresser Anthony. But how do you avoid that bad hair day? As someone who’s been blessed (and sometimes cursed) with naturally curly hair, my theory is you need to start with the basics and by that I mean a great shampoo. As I’ve got a particular sort of hair, I decided to ask the rest of the Who What Wear editors about the shampoos they rate. Among our team are women with curly, straight and wavy hair. We’ve also got blondes, brunettes, greys and highlights. So you can guarantee that we’ve got a lot of areas covered. Whether you’re looking for the bes...

Dermatologists and Celebrities Swear By This Affordable Skincare Brand
Skincare can be really expensive. In fact, I’m kind of fed up of tip-toeing around the fact that in so many cases, we’re all being painfully overcharged for certain skincare products. Brands know all too well the price that we’re willing to pay for great skin, and they’re not afraid to take advantage of it. However, as our skincare priorities have shifted, not only are brands charging obscene amounts of money for efficacious products, but they’re also driving up prices on products that look more aesthetically pleasing. As a result of this, it’s safe to say that when it comes to skincare, price does not always reflect quality. So when a no-frills product range comes along that doesn’t have a gimmicky name, doesn’t come housed in Instagram-worthy bottles and generally lacks fancies, it can b...

5 Items Our Editors Would Never Buy From Zara
“I don’t buy trousers from Zara, as they never fit me! I’m a size 12, and unless they’re stretchy or feature an elastic waistband, it’s a no-go. Although I love the styles on offer, even the size L doesn’t seem to work for me, so rather than make myself feel fed-up, I’ve just stopped even trying them on. Instead, I always opt for skirts, especially those that are fitted at the waist but fuller on the bottom. That kind of silhouette seems to fit my hourglass figure far better when it comes to this store.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Trust Me—This Small Parisian Brand Is Going to Be the Next Big Thing
Most of us won’t have touched a handbag since lockdown began, instead sticking to a bag for life for our groceries and pockets for our credit cards. But now that we see signs of things slowly reopening and can visit garden centres and take a book to the park, many are in need of a chuck-it-all-in practical handbag. If you want something a little jazzier than a basket bag, then I’ve just found an under-the-radar French brand that creates the most beautiful striped tote bags. Rue de Verneuil was founded in 2014, however, it’s a new name to British shoppers as has just been stocked by MatchesFashion. The 1950s-inspired tote bags have a Riviera feel to them, as they have a thin elegant pinstripe, a tan leather strap and come in the colours you typically see lining the French ...
The Under-£100 High-Street Buys Bringing Us Joy This May
Here at Who What Wear UK, we firmly believe that you don’t need to part with serious cash to get your hands on that perfect mood-lifting look, and with the high street offering up plenty of winning spring buys right now (thank you, Arket, Mango, H&M et al), giving your wardrobe a refresh just got a little bit easier. Add to this the fact that the high street is longer reserved for transient trends (and instead, developing its offering of time-tested staples) and you’ve got yourself a winning combo. Case in point: On our wish lists this month is everything from COS’ chic cami top and H&M’s puff-sleeve dress to Mango’s versatile linen trousers & ASOS’ very ’90s maxi dre...
This Affordable New French Skincare Brand Is Seriously Chic (and Seriously Good)
Comprising seven ranges and a whole host of products within them (from cleansing bars and moisturisers to haircare and fragrance), Typology’s offering might be extensive, but its formulas are pared-back and simple. For example, the Raw range is made up of single-ingredient products that can be used alone or layered, the Ten range consists of products blended with 10 ingredients or fewer to champion only the essentials, and the Woman range is an easy-to-follow, four-serum regimen designed to cater to the skin’s needs at every stage of the menstrual cycle. On a personal note, I can safely say that I’m loving every minute of using Typology. Since adopting a Typology regimen, my skin has been clear, glowing and generally healthy-looking. I haven’t found the products to be overly...
