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...

There’s no escaping the fact that this summer is a bit of a weird one. But with lockdown easing slightly, there are plenty of reasons to be joyful. We can now spend time in parks (socially-distanced, of course) and even with loved ones in gardens. Soon, pubs might actually be a possibility. Still, at Who What Wear, we want to offer a bit of escapism, and while we’re all scaling back how much we’re shopping, whether for environmental, ethical or economic reasons, there are some items of clothing that are simply happy. I asked some of my favourite fashion people what they love for summer right now, and they all chose fun, pretty and colourful pieces. It’s not going to transport you to a BBQ with all your nearest and dearest, but it might put a smile on your ...

Greige isn’t the prettiest of portmanteaus, but it’s the colour I’m most excited about this summer. Not quite beige and not quite grey, this is a hue that meets somewhere in the middle. No, it doesn’t sound that desirable, so I’ll see if I can convince you. Imagine, if you will, that this is the sort of colour Olivia Pope would wear. It denotes polish and being a grown-up and not spilling red wine down yourself. It implies that you have your act together; you always remain calm even when you’re stressed out. It is the opposite of Mercury in retrograde. Yes, I did get all of that from a colour.  Right now, we need soothing, chill hues for our wardrobes, so I’m backing greige. I’ve already spotted quite a few people on Insta...

Having been born and raised in sunny Australia, I like to think I know a thing or two about how to dress for warm weather. While the current forecast in the UK is deemed a heatwave, for us Aussies, it’s just another summer day. Therefore, I thought I would take some time to share my knowledge of how exactly to dress when the mercury rises.  From denim shorts to flowing maxis, there’s no one formula when it comes to dressing for warm weather. At the end of the day, it’s all about what makes you feel cool and comfortable, as both factors become a top priority in these times. Personally, I often rely on breathable fabrics and fluid silhouettes, and as evidenced below, many members of the fashion set tend to do the same. In fact, between the linen shirts, swimwear a...

When it comes to dressing for summer, I take the ‘more is more’ approach. I go for loose linen jumpsuits, flowing trousers and dresses, white jeans, and seersucker tops with puff sleeves (all the better for ventilation). If you haven’t gathered already, I tend to cover up when the sun comes out. That’s partly because I want to protect my skin but also because the UK weather is so changeable that I will inevitably get cold, and need to rely on trusty layers to cope with the hourly shift in temperatures. But then I spied a crop-top-and-mini-skirt daisy print co-ord from & Other Stories.  It has all the markings of an outfit I’d usually avoid⁠—”mini” and “crop top” aren’t words to describe anything in my daily ward...

Look, I know it’s a fashion cliché to say that investing in a classic item is important but honestly, it really is. The reasons are varied, but for me it’s all about the cost-per-wear and because when you find something that you love and makes you feel good, you should stick to it. It’s why the linen shirt is the ultimate summer staple. Whether it’s long-sleeved, short-sleeved or sleeveless, there is no denying the versatility of the piece. Uniqlo has mastered the art of the linen shirt. And what’s more, it’s 100% natural fabric, grown in Europe which is breathable yet durable thanks to long fibres (meaning it won’t fluff or deform). So what can you expect to find in Uniqlo’s premium linen collection? The line offers an incredible v...

As a fashion editor, I’ve prided myself on being sure of my style. But as the weeks have gone on and I’m still work from home, I’m not embarrassed to admit I’m a bit confused about my wardrobe right now. OK, so we’re not in full lockdown any more, and being outside is a much more realistic pass time, but I’m still not wearing the same clothes as I used to. Even if you’re already back at your usual desk in the office, restaurants, pubs and bars are still a no-go, so there’s little opportunity to dress up. While I occasionally wear dresses, I’m still finding that I’m turning to the more comfortable items. But how do you make that look cool? Speak to a stylist whose wardrobe you love.  Angie Smith might not be a name you know immediately. But she&...

After spending an inordinate amount of time on Instagram (because what else was there to do this month?), I discovered that there are a few high-street items that influencers have nabbed and look incredible. However, I haven’t just put everything in that’s trending—I’ve kept it to items I genuinely love and could imagine wearing now and well into next year. There’s that & Other Stories oversized blazer that continues to be a staple of plenty of influencers’ wardrobes, a pair of fun pink trousers and a white top from Topshop that you’ll get so much wear out of this summer. There’s also a very chic knitted hoodie and sweatpants co-ord that will serve you well, especially if you’re spending a lot of time at home. Plu...

Despite what my Instagram feed may have you believe, I don’t tend to wear much vibrant colour in my day-to-day life. Particularly now that I’m home more often, my wardrobe predominantly consists of plain white tees, denim, and a vast array of black or grey activewear. Recently, I’ve been throwing on a few summer dresses for good measure, but even with those, I often gravitate toward muted neutral tones or subtler shades.  However, with summer on its way I’m finding myself drawn to brighter colours, and thanks to a saved folder filled with vibrant looks that I’ve accumulated on Instagram, it’s never been easier to find inspiration.

As contemporary labels go, Faithfull the Brand has been on my radar quite a lot recently. Solidifying itself as a favourite amongst It girls and influencers, the Indonesia-based label has taken up a prominent position on my Instagram feed, as it seems that just about every member of the style set is a fan of label’s vibrant florals and eye-catching patterned pieces.  From Chrissy Rutherford to Lucy Williams, influencers everywhere are championing the brand’s summer-ready styles that truly embody the spirit of the season. Over the last year, I’ve kept a mental note of all the Faithfull the Brand items I’ve seen on Instagram, that I’d love to add to my closet. Whether it be an oh-so-cool tie-dye linen shirt or a wear-anywhere floral mini...
