When the temperature suddenly drops in London, there’s only one choice of footwear I’m interested in: boots. People in London will do their very best to prolong their time in ballet pumps and mules, but once winter is here, the truly sensible choice of shoe has to be the boot in all its forms. My love affair with a great pair of winter boots stems from the ability to dress them up or down for any occasion. (The only place you won’t find me wearing knee-high boots in December is the gym, and that’s only because this month is an exercise-free period.) When it comes to elevated footwear, Russell & Bromley needs no introduction. Whilst you may find its stores on many high streets throughout the UK, its offering is hardly of a high-street status but rather ...

From The Row’s minimalist  Zipped 1 Boots to Birkenstock’s ultra-comfy clogs, the shoes I see time and again on my commute to the Who What Wear office got me thinking about which brands in particular are British bestsellers, so I took to Instagram to find the shoes that social medias most stylish are investing in now, and the results might surprise you. As we head further into the depths of winter, top performing categories are without a doubt the flat shoe (loafers, trainers and ballet pumps score highly), and of course, the boot (namely ankle and knee-high). So, which brands are best at nailing these trending styles? I’ve put together a handy round up of the 8 high street, mid-range and designer footwear brands that Brit girls are shop...

Leggings have always been one of fashion’s most controversial dividers. Comfort has never been the point of contention here—we can all agree that they’re just about the most enjoyable garment to wear. However, as for their style credentials? They’re often brought into question. I blame this on the ’80s, where leggings were neon, cropped and usually accompanied by clashing leg warmers. However, over recent years, leggings have made what some would call a comeback—now forming the basis of many a chic minimalist outfit and looking a little different than their ’80s heyday. Now, classic black or neutral leggings are pretty much the only way forward if you intend to wear them out of the gym. And in weighted fabrics, they look and feel signi...

It is a widely discussed fact in the Who What Wear group chat that M&S shoes are some of the best on the market. Last week, when I shared that I was planning on popping in to try on a load of its latest shoes (all in the name of journalistic research), it was met with exclaims and admissions of how highly my fellow editors rate the high-street hero’s footwear. “I have such a soft spot for M&S shoes” and “the comfort insoles are the one” are just a couple of examples. But I too consider myself a loyal fan, and some of my longest-lasting, most-loved pairs have been bought there in the past. In fact, I still wear a pair of burgundy leather knee-high boots that I bought from the store roughly five years ago.   “But exactly why are...

The style set in Paris is routinely a go-to source for effortless style inspiration. What can I say, fashion people in Paris just often get it with that je ne sais quoi. I recently highlighted one of the key shoe trends Parisians wear (ahem, knee-high boots). But next up, I thought I’d focus on another footwear silhouette that is a staple for many. Yes, I’m talking about trainers. I wear trainers basically every single day, so I’m consistently on the hunt for fresh outfit ideas to wear with my favourite pairs. To that, I scrolled through my saved photos on Instagram and noted the looks French people wear with trainers (typically retro silhouettes this season) to use as inspiration for myself. I thought you’d be intrigued as well, so I curated a grouping for you below. Keep scroll...

In fact, many of our favourite fashion girls have been spotted in platform mary-jane heels, from Camille Charriere to Lucy Williams (keep scrolling to see exactly how they’ve been styling them so far). And the shoe’s popularity shows no sign of waning, having featured heavily on the SS23 catwalks, too. Given the style’s strong late nineties/early noughties aesthetic, it’s hardly surprising— Y2K fashion exploded this year, and although spearheaded by Gen Z, we’re definitely starting to feel its influence across all generations now.  The popularity of platform mary-janes may also have something to do with the meteoric rise of the (relatively) new footwear brand Nodaleto. We’ve previously reported just how much fashion girls love their chunky, curved heel sh...

Yes, that’s right. Hailey Bieber’s loafers are from high-street brand, Vagabond. They come in a versatile shades of classic black, brown and embossed black with a  classic silhouette and modern square toe to finish. And at £130, they’re an affordable option that also comes Hailey Bieber approved. Win-win.  In the past few years, loafers have returned as a staple shoe of the fashion set, and have been incorporated into new shoe trends, be it chunky soles, square toes or paired-back silhouettes. Hailey’s pairing with wide-leg trousers ties into the oversized trends that have taken over this year, whilst miniskirts, dresses, leggings and shorts create endless styling possibilities. All in all, this shoe has withstood the waves of fash...

Miuccia Prada succeeded in her mission to revive the noughties miniskirt after its brief hiatus. It’s been one heck of a year since Miu Miu debuted the teeny micro mini, and it still remains the skirt style on everyone’s hips. With its increasing popularity, ultra-small skirts from denim to A-line to pleated variations continue to have a moment in the fashion world, even despite the best of the leg-baring weather being well behind us. The miniskirt as a concept is all well and good, but once you slip into one, one of the biggest dilemmas is assessing which shoes to wear. School uniforms might have us believing that ballerinas are the sole shoe option for the short skirt, but there are many contenders to pair with teeny styles. Prada demonstrated this best with a ...

As a shoe lover, I happen to think that shoes are what really make a dress. Anyone can just throw on a cute dress but how you style it is what really makes or breaks it. We’re in a bit of an anything-goes place in fashion, but that doesn’t mean that certain shoes don’t just look cooler than others with dresses, and the fashion crowd is very much aware of this. I combed through Instagram for some great examples of the shoes I’ve been seeing the fashion crowd wear over and over with all types of dresses this season, and there are some fun ones. You might already own most of these trends but just in case, I found some excellent options for you to shop and pair with your own dresses. (And if you want to shop for expensive-looking dresses as well, Emily Dawes h...

Personally, I don’t know where this year has gone. It seems like just last week we had rounded up our autumn buys, and now our editors are busy compiling gift guides for the Christmas season. As we’re coming to the final months of 2022, I looked back at the most important trends of the year, and none stood out as much as wide-leg trousers. The oversized silhouette has taken hold of the fashion scene. From baggy jeans, to puddle pants, so many micro-trends have resulted from the power of the wide-leg trouser. And with a new year on the horizon, there’s no sign that this trend will be going anywhere. If you’ve already embraced wide-leg trousers into your wardrobe, you’ll understand how versatile they truly are—perfect for wearing to work, evenings out ...
