BASICS

When it comes to British fashion institutions, you don’t get much more iconic than good ol’ Marks and Spencer. It’s been there for us at every stage of life—from school shoes and first bras to grown-up winter coats and fail-safe accessories. Not content to be known just for its underwear offering, however, this high-street giant has spent the last decade or so upping its style game, creating trend-led lines such as Autograph to please the fashion crowd. As a team, we’re not embarrassed to admit that we are M&S superfans, and we’re always the first to spot and snap up a trend from the site. Each of us has a specific product that we always return to season after season, be it winter coats, cosy loungewear or chunky boots—it’s the ultimate proof of...

While we will always make time for extroverted outerwear and statement-making accessories, when it comes to basics, less is often more. Just think of base layers like leggings, underwear and hoodies: More often than not, you just want these items to do their jobs with minimal fuss. Of course, we still want a nod to good design, but it has to be paired with functionality. Gilly Hicks is totally on-point in this regard, delivering hard-working staples season after season in versatile silhouettes and appealing colourways.

The world of fashion basics hasn’t always been a particularly exciting one. Historically speaking, a sensible sweater and layering vest weren’t exactly considered the height of sophistication. But over the last decade or so, the fashion industry has clearly started to tune in to the value of this wardrobe category and is now delivering brands that not only make buying basics an appealing prospect but also elevate them to cult-favourite must-haves. While it only launched in 2018, Pangaia is one brand that has stormed the basics landscape with its rainbow of staples. I’m talking hoodies, tracksuits, sweaters, T-shirts, and everything in between—and the industry is certainly paying attention. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

I need not tell you that loungewear is big news, especially as we head into winter. For some, before 2020, loungewear was an after-thought or, at the very least, not something you got excited about shopping for. That, however, has all changed. Gone are the days when flannel PJs and grey joggers were your only loungewear points of contact—now, chic loungewear (the type you wouldn’t mind answering the door or even heading to the shops in) is all the rage. Now, dominating the retail space, there are more loungewear sets out there to buy than ever. Herein lies the problem. Which loungewear sets look most premium (even when they’re not)? I believe the answer is ribbed loungewear sets. Hear me out.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what ...

There are areas of our bodies that we would all like a bit of extra control on, whether it’s a bit of lift in the bust or butt or a little added support in our hips and thigh area. There’s certainly nothing wrong, either, with turning to a pair of Spanx or shaping shorts when you’re in need of a little oomph—celebs do it all the time, especially when it comes to walking the red carpet. Luckily, the market is chock-full of great shapewear that promises to smooth out any lumps or bumps where you want to. Today, we’re honing in on all the best tummy-control shapewear that we think is 100% worth the investment. These are pieces you can wear whenever you feel the need to trim your tummy, shape your waistline and support your back. Ready to s...

If there’s anyone who has mastered the art of wardrobe basics, it’s Zoë Kravitz. The actress has been on my Pinterest boards and Tumblr mood boards for as long as I’ve been interested in celebrity style, and I’ve yet to tire of her simple yet effortlessly cool outfits. If you’ve been keeping up with all things Kravitz, you’d know that she’s been stepping out in New York (with boyfriend Channing Tatum, no less) in outfits that have been making the internet lose its mind—this editor included. While 2021 Zoë Kravitz is a total vibe, taking a look at her recent street style has inspired me to do a deep dive into the archives of some of her all-time best ensembles. After spending the morning going through tonnes of str...

Here at Who What Wear UK, we’re all about delivering the latest and greatest shopping edits, as approved by our team. That’s why we’ve created The Joy of Shopping, a shopping column which will see me, Joy Montgomery, discussing the brands, buys and ideas that are preoccupying my mind this month. Think homewares, outerwear and everything in-between. Is there something you’d like me to cover? Make sure to tweet or Instagram me your requests! Dear readers, I want to just apologise on behalf of the fashion-magazine industry for our overuse of certain phrases. The trouble is, there are only so many ways we can say “this is a nice top,” so we default to flashy buzzwords as shorthand for ...

Whether it be for autumn, another season, or year-round, we all know the typical checklist for fashion basics. It includes (but isn’t limited to) tees, jeans, button-downs, trainers, and more. However, there are certain pieces not on those lists that—within my own wardrobe, among our editorial team, and throughout the fashion industry at large—are, at this point, so common and essential they’re due for an upgrade. Sure, they seemed just like regular trends at first, but when something sticks around long enough or makes a big impression within a short amount of time, it deserves to be recategorized accordingly. As you probably guessed, today, I’m here to show, tell, and sell you on six such pieces. From shackets to sweater sets, these are the cool, new “basics” every fashion person is ...

I don’t know if you’ve ever been asked about the single luxury you would take to a desert island or perhaps the one food you would eat for the rest of your life if you had to pick one. Well, I’ve often thought about the sartorial answers to both of these questions, and I have concluded that blazers are the one thing I couldn’t live without—fashion-wise anyway. Easily dressed up and down, able to be paired with almost anything in my wardrobe (from dresses to denim and everything in between) and oh so flattering, the blazer really is deserving of its place in the fashion hall of fame.  Over the course of my career, I have really noticed that high-street brands have stepped up their blazer game, particularly t...

I love autumn. Honestly, it is the best season. I could say it’s because I love the colour the leaves change as the weather gets colder. Or that all the festivities, including Halloween, Bonfire Night, Hanukkah and Christmas are all the best events of the year. But really it’s because we get to wear great knitwear again. This season, it’s all about the Breton jumper. The Arket white and blue striped version has already sold out (with the blue with white striped version still available), and every time I wear my Baum Und Pferdgarten roll neck Breton knit, I get compliments.  The only thing I’ve found with this style of jumper is that it can seem a little repetitive. I’m guilty of jumper wearing mine with jeans and that’s it. But I̵...

If you asked any fashion editor which part of their wardrobe got the most attention, it would probably be basics. Forming the essential groundwork for all outfits, these hard-working buys may fade into the background, but they can be surprisingly hard to get right. After all, the lack of adornment or distraction means there’s more emphasis on perfect fit and quality fabrics—essentially, there’s nowhere to hide.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

“I would advise against anything really constricting,” says Fischbach. “You want to get the most comfortable you can be to avoid cramping, swelling, and anything that can affect you later.” Allowing for healthy blood circulation is especially important to avoid deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein, usually in the legs. “It’s very important to be able to move around a bit in your seat—very difficult, I know—and keep your blood flowing,” Fischbach explains. “If you are tall, travel a lot, or are on a long flight, this is extremely important because you face the risk of developing DVT.” More innocuously, swelling in the stomach can also occur, causing discomfort, especially if you’re in restricti...
