“The coat I always think looks the most expensive is, believe it or not, an oversized coat; especially if you’re wearing tighter clothes underneath like slim jeans. I know people are sometimes afraid to take a bigger size because they think the proportions will be way off, but sizing up from can make a huge difference to the overall silhouette. What I love about this trick is that it also makes it easier to layer with thicker knitwear while still feeling comfortable. That said, as well as oversized outerwear, this season, I’m also really loving the belted coat. I look for long options as they feel elegant. Whichever coat style you choose, again pay attention to the materials and make sure you’re buoy quality. Colour-wise, I always opt for neutrals like black, white, beige, brown, navy, and...

More often than not, when it comes to homeware, I find an amazing mirror or chair after an Instagram scroll and then discover it costs more than three months of mortgage payments. Instagram might be a breeding ground for £4k mirrors and eye-wateringly expensive vintage chairs, but I’ve found lots of amazing high-street interiors pieces on there, too. If you’re looking to add some finishing touches to your home, whether you are renting or are in your own house, below, you’ll find some high-street gems that influencers have introduced me to recently. There’s a beautiful Zara Home wood and glass vase that will make your dining table look like a hotel lobby and an Arket blanket which is becoming just as sought after as any of the brand’s clothes. If you ...

Every now and then, something so simple yet so brilliant is designed, and you know you’d be mad to not buy it, especially when the price tag isn’t prohibitive. In general, I don’t encourage splurges or panic purchases, but if a piece can be at once classic and trend tapping, effortless yet entirely sassy, then it’s a no-brainer and shouldn’t be ignored.  One such item that has ticked all of those boxes for me recently is a luxury knit off-the-shoulder top from our in-house brand, Who What Wear Collection. The latest winter drop included both a top and a midi dress with the same chic sweetheart neckline and bodiced fit. The sweater version became an instant hit not only in our (virtual) office but also amongst the influencers who managed to pick it up...

Trends come and go, but to me a successful purchase is one that you love when you wear it years later and that goes with almost every one of your outfits. By this criteria, the best item I own is probably a camel wool blazer by & Other Stories which is single-breasted and has a boxy oversized fit, with defined shoulders. The trend for tailored blazers with big ’80-style shoulders started in spring summer 2017 thanks to the likes of Balenciaga and Céline, and has continued to be a fixture in recent collections.  This was a birthday present three years ago, but it is one of & Other Stories’ staple items that they recreate every season, with only slight tweaks to the buttons and shade. This is consistently in the ‘most popular ...

As we settle into winter, knitwear tends to ascend the ranks of our priority list. The cosy cold-weather staple becomes a daily must-have and a key part of every outfit, regardless of the occasion. Of course, this means we’re constantly on the lookout for new styles and quality investment pieces that we know will see us through winters to come. Enter H&M. The high-street retailer has become a go-to for many stylish insiders and this year in particular their knitwear offering has been exceptionally strong. From trend-led styles, like statement collar jumpers to traditional classics, such as chunky cable knits, H&M’s knitwear selection has been championed by influencers and editors alike.  Stylist Hannah Lewis has been spotted in one of the retailer’s...

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 H&M’s chic chunky knit and Arket’s knitted vest to COS’ tailored trousers and ASOS’ combat boo...

There are no flattering lighting arrangements or curation of super-expensive designer items that can save me from the torture of finding trousers that look good when you’re 5’1” and have an hourglass figure. For some reason, brands feel that cutting pants to suit my kind of body is entirely unnecessary and a waste of their designers’ and manufacturer’s time, but the sad state of affairs in this part of my wardrobe would vehemently disagree. I’m sure many would concur that our individual figures and measurements are often overlooked—from what’s stocked in stores to how women are represented in ad campaigns—but I find that the pants department is particularly cruel. (Zara, I’m aiming 99.9% of this comment at your trousers section.) Which is why...

If looking chic and warm without spending all of your money is your main objective, you probably already know that Zara, Mango, and H&M are three of the best places to shop for winter gear. In particular, I find that they all make excellent jumpers and outerwear, which are obviously two of the most crucial elements of a winter wardrobe. I’m planning on spending more time outdoors than usual this winter, taking lunchtime walks and spending my weekends outside. But I don’t want to freeze while I’m at it. So I’ve been busy planning warm outfits and figuring out what I need. And of course, the goal is to always find pieces that look expensive but are far from it. There’s plenty of that at Zara, Mango, and H&M, and I know you love those ...

Is there anything better than a fall Zara haul? I think not. The beloved retailer has built a cult following for more reasons than one, but if I had to name a few, the affordability, wide selection of trends and basics, and the inspiring styling are what come to mind. I am convinced that Zara gets better and better each season and fall 2020 is no exception. Don’t believe me? Well, I’m about to prove it to you.  Ahead, I have gathered the 43 best fall items Zara has to offer from boots to sweaters and back again.
