First things first, I’d like to profess my love for leggings; honestly, I don’t know how I would have gotten dressed over the past three years without them. Prior to that, I’d never really have worn them out of the house save from going to the gym or dashing out for a coffee. Now, however, I wear them whilst working, heading to the shops and meeting my friends for brunch on the weekend; they’re a staple in my wardrobe and always will be. Still, I believe that you can have too much of a good thing, and I worry that I’ll tire of leggings at the rate I’m currently wearing them. The solution? To find other items I can wear just as easily and, crucially, that are as comfortable as leggings. Pyjamas might seem like the closest relative to leggings, but I think...
One item in particular I’ve been wearing (yes, on repeat) with my trusty Girlfriend Collectives and lululemons this winter is the Free People Hit the Slopes fleece. Honestly, I’m not really sure what I wore before I discovered the cosy jumper at the end of last year (when my fellow Who What Wear editors recommended it to me). And with January serving mostly miserable grey days so far, this easy but acceptable-for-errands outfit has become my morning go to. You can imagine my delight, then, when on a recent celebrity image deep dive I discovered supermodel Kaia Gerber in none other than this exact outfit (let’s not talk about who wore it better, shall we?) Not only did Kaia forgo her usual top-to-toe Celine wardrobe for the Free People Hit the Slopes Fleece (in the...
Dressing adventurously comes more naturally to some people than others; the print-clashing, colour-blocking, accessory-embracing style gurus on Instagram certainly make it look easy. And while the skill involved in building a bold, busy and inventive look is admirable, I believe the enduring relevance of certain outfit formulas is just as impressive. A select few fail-safe combinations have made it into my weekly roster—that’s right, they’re so good I can’t go seven days without reaching for them. And lately, the reigning outfit among these old reliables has been jeans and a shirt. Yep, just a classic button-down and worn-in blue denim: It’s as simple as that.

There’s something about winter dressing that makes us immediately want to retreat to the sanctuary of neutral colours. Black, white and beige are failsafes after all (and anything that saves us time getting ready in the morning means more time in a cosy bed), but there is also a strong case for beating the January blues by refreshing your wardrobe with some colourful brights. I have always loved experimenting with colour, and although I don’t own a little black dress, I do have a red one, a silver one, a yellow one and a camel one that I find just as versatile. I find mood-boosting hues can really put the fun back into dressing up. This season, it would appear designers agree, as along with the frills and florals we e...
For the longest time, I really didn’t get the hype surrounding bodysuits. Surely they’re incredibly uncomfortable. Wouldn’t the cut give me VPL through my jeans? These are a couple of things that were holding me back from actually trying one. Then I did, and everything changed. Now, I don’t wear bodysuits on a daily basis, but I do have a couple in my basics drawer which I think have elevated my outfits. That’s right; elevated. Most are made from stretchy fabrications, which mould perfectly to your shape, making for a clean and fuss-free silhouette that allows for endless styling options. This is an easy starting point for a great outfit. To better prove my point, I’ve assembled eight bodysuit outfit ideas I think showcase the staple at i...

Full disclosure: I’m an avid jacket collector. Be it a leather bomber, a puffer or a fleece, if there’s a new jacket trend, you can bet I’ll be investing in it. But there’s one type of jacket I always go back to, and that’s the humble blazer. Dress it up, style it down, a well-fitted classic black blazer is a timeless staple that belongs in every wardrobe. Although I have many blazers with different cuts and colours, my go-to is the COS single-breasted wool version. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Sometimes less is more. Even in fashion, where many can be easily drawn to ruffles, feathers, sequins and excess in general, at Who What Wear we always seem to go back to the same pared-back staples. It’s the true secret to a capsule wardrobe, I think, to have malleable elevated essentials that an be worn countless ways, to numerous occasions that look universally good when paired with pieces of all different proportions, fabrics and colours. If there’s one brand I always go back to for this, it’s The Frankie Shop. You’ll see from my instalment of our most recent Great Try-On that this isn’t a line, I love everything The Frankie Shop presents–from its cargo pants to its iconic quilted ripstop jacket. But the item I treasure most in my wardrobe? ...
Everyone needs to refresh their outfit roster from time to time. Fact. Even hardcore minimalists and capsule wardrobe devotees can become fatigued with their everyday uniform. We’re only human, after all. Do combinations that were once fresh and exciting feel increasingly stale with each wear? That’s par for the course. If you ate the same breakfast every single morning, you’d probably get bored of that, too. The good news is you don’t have to overhaul your closet or part with tons of your hard-earned cash to rediscover your love of getting dressed. Like changing up your porridge toppings, sometimes small styling tweaks are all it takes. And you can hold me to this advice, because I’ve resolved to step outside ...
