If you’re still holding out for that second August heatwave, then you might want to look away now, because I’m about to rain on your parade (quite literally—have you seen the weather outside?) I’ve always been drawn towards the enveloping silhouettes of autumn, partly because I can’t stand the sweaty logistics that come with heatwave dressing, but also because there’s so much more creative potential in layering. I find that there’s only so much you can do with a summer dress. Autumn is a time to experiment with statement jackets, create unexpected pairings with blouses and jumpers and give your midi dresses an edge with chunky boots and equally chunky knits. So yes, it might only be July, but I’m already scouting out t...
Ask most of the Who What Wear team, and they’ll tell you that autumn is their favourite season to dress for. It’s still warm enough not to require bundling yourself up in ridiculously chunky layers but cold enough to dabble in cosy textures and interesting styling ideas. We also find ourselves consistently drawn to the rich, expensive-looking colour palette most associated with the season—think sublime rust hues, deep burgundy, navy, shocks of teal and, yes, classic black and white. Ordinarily, finding pieces we love for autumn is akin to a treasure hunt—we might find a hint of what we like here and there, but it takes a lot of scrambling to assemble an impressive edit. However, this year, there’s one brand we know we’re going to uncover the best autumn buys fr...

I like to think of myself as a bit of a jacket aficionado. It is probably the one category that makes up the biggest percentage of my wardrobe, and it’s the one item that never ceases to pique my interest no matter how many I own at any moment in time. This has meant that I have developed a particular knack for spotting the next big thing in the jacket world (if I do say so myself), and this autumn? I have a hunch that the baseball jacket is going to be the one to watch. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

I always used to believe I was a shoe person, until I realised I also equally appreciate bags, and earrings and any other type of accessory going, to be honest. It’s safe to say, when it comes to getting dressed there are no shortage of options for that final flourish these days, but deciphering which new styles to invest in is always a challenge because of the vast array available. It’s that time of year when the lines between seasons are blurred, and with summer sales making room for autumn pieces, it becomes tempting to plan ahead. This is why new-season accessories are a talking point already. While we’re not about to pack away straw bags and flat-forms for next year’s heatwaves just yet, we are ready to welcome items that can transform outfi...
Autumn outfits can require quite a bit of planning. Coat or no coat? How many layers are too many layers? The below outfit ideas will see you through cooler days (which will probably be here before we know it) and right into the time when it turns really cold. Thankfully, online retailers are preempting our shopping whims and are already starting to slowly fill their new-in sections with knitwear and trench coats. So although it might seem early, this is actually the perfect moment to take a pause and really think about what is missing from your autumn wardrobe before you start adding to it. The below outfits include several classics that you’d typically expect from an autumn capsule, including trench coats, leather jackets and jeans, alongside some...
You may think I’ve lost the plot shopping for shearling and knitwear in mid-June 30-degree heat, but hear me out. The best way to shop the sales is strategically rather than whimsically, and that means thinking ahead. I try to consider classic items and the next season when perusing the discounts on offer, and fortunately for you, I’ve already done the research on what autumn/winter 2021’s big fashion trends will be.

Costume design is this really interesting area where fashion and entertainment meet. Series like Gossip Girl and The Handmaid’s Tale, and films like Clueless and The Devil Wears Prada, have had a major impact on how we dress. We’d love to credit Blair Waldorf for the recent revival of headbands. And if it weren’t for Miranda Priestly, would we ever know the difference between turquoise and cerulean blue? Fashion’s dynamic relationship with pop culture is undeniable. For the past couple years, we’ve experienced a very nostalgic ’90s style renaissance. Even icons of the era, like Keanu Reeves and Celine Dion, are getting in on the action. So, we decided to try out Rachel Green’s great style from one of the decade’s most defining series, Friends...
There are a lot of things I didn’t expect to have on my 2021 bingo card (including, let’s be honest, using the phrase “2021 bingo card”), and one is babushkas coming back in style. My Ukrainian grandmother wore a babushka. Queen Elizabeth II wears a babushka. But I would have never in a million years guessed we’d see babushkas on the high-fashion runways in London, Milan, and Paris — and neatly knotted under the necks of celebrities like Tracee Ellis Ross, A$AP Rocky, and Chloë Sevigny. (And just so we’re clear, I’m referring to headscarves here, not grandmas, which is what the word actually means in Russian.) Growing up Ukrainian-American, there was nothing high fashion about the babushka (which we called a khustka). It had everything to do with t...
Versace always taps the most influential models for its ready-to-wear fashion shows. The legendary Italian house opened its autumn/winter 2021 season with a film starring Irina Shayk, Bella Hadid, and Gigi Hadid who is back on the catwalk for the first time since becoming a mum. The new collection “Step Inside La Greca” is confident and slightly rebellious with an emphasis on the brand’s iconic Greca motif, subtle graffiti details, and a smaller, rounded silhouette for womenswear. “I have realised that this is the future, the new way of communicating collections,” Donatella Versace said in a press statement about the industry’s move towards digital fashion weeks. “Models are like actors, they bring the designs to life, just like when a performer po...
London Fashion Week showed us how much the characters of our favourite series are inspiring the way we want to dress. London’s autumn 2021 season is filled with members fit for a royal court — harlequin jesters, modern debutantes, and ballerinas who are also very badass. We scanned 13 of our favourite collections from London’s most influential designers and picked six fresh fashion trends for updating your autumn wardrobe. Bridgerton recently collaborated with the British Fashion Council, and the modern period drama’s fashion influence is just getting started. At London Fashion Week February 2021, we saw so many fabulous characters of court, from corset-wearing punk debutantes at Vivienne Westwood, to Nigerian eclectics at Tolu Coker, and ballerina-pink bustiers at Marque...
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wales Bonner (@walesbonner) Winner of the 2016 LMVH Young Designer award, 28-year-old Grace Wales Bonner and adidas Originals has finally released its Autumn/Winter 2020 collaboration, and it’s everything we expected it would be. First teased back in January at London Fashion Week, the new collection is partially inspired by Bob Marley, alongside the 1970s and dancehall – themes which frequently inspire Wales Bonner pieces. The new collection seeks to transform sportswear classics into Afro-Caribbean luxury through “hybrid tracksuits, nostalgic trainers, and relaxed tailored styles”. In terms of footwear, Bonner has taken to the popular Adidas Samba silhouette alongside the lesser-known SL72, reworking them with a colour ...
