Spring Fashion

Spanning four cities, over 350 designer showcases and more celebrity model moments than you can shake a roll of body tape at, ask anyone in attendance, and they’ll tell you that Fashion Month was back at its biggest and brightest for spring/summer 2023. Having pivoted from perching on the front row to sitting in front of our laptops (cup of tea in hand) for the past few seasons, we expected some designers to entirely forgo the frivolity of “real-life” fashion shows in favour of the digital experience. This, however, was not the case; in fact, not a single virtual invitation landed in my inbox. Instead, with a 45% increase in shows compared to autumn/winter 2022, designers appeared to come to the collective agreement that being together will always be better. And...

As a fashion editor, one of my absolute favourite things to do at the weekend (aside from brunch, of course) is to peruse the new-in section at MATCHESFASHION.COM. While I always drop in to see the site’s new designer pieces and everything that’s coming soon, it’s the Just In This Month edit that always seems to have everything I’ve been lusting over. And when I dropped in for my monthly (okay, weekly) visit, I basically discovered everything I tend to shop for this time of year. I’m always on the lookout for neutral pieces I can style with ease, and this season, ecru denim, linen co-ords and trench coats have caught my eye. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I’m in the market for bold dresses in all colours of the rainbow. And the likes of Stella McCartney, Bernadette and Zimmermann hav...

So, if you’re looking at updating your jacket game this season, where do you start looking for the perfect one? Well, on the high street there’s one place myself and my fellow Who What Wear editors really rate for excellent quality but still on-trend designs— and that’s M&S. It’s always on my list of suggestions for styling clients looking to build a capsule wardrobe, and that’s mainly because it does those timeless, long-lasting pieces so well. From investment leather from the premium Autograph range, to organic cotton pieces— you can’t really go wrong.  And since you know how seriously we take recommending you the best pieces each season, I thought it was a good idea to pop into the store and test drive as many of M&S’s new season jackets as I could find. Below, you’ll ...

There are certain things that can send the Who What Wear UK team into fashion overdrive. When a key product gets restocked, we don’t wait politely for others to step in, and when Sienna Miller wears something from the high street, all plans are cancelled and the diary is cleared until we track down that item. But nothing (nothing!) changes the game quite like a discount at one of our favourite stores or brands. And one such drop-everything moment is about to land right in your lap: Jigsaw is offering Who What Wear UK readers a very brilliant 20% off. Just use the exclusive promo code WWW20 at online checkout from April 26 until May 13, and you’ll have yourself a dreamy discount on the brand’s loveliest pieces. Under normal circumstances, we’d already be impressed—Ji...

You’ve become a TikTok sensation for your fun fashion videos. Can you tell us what inspired you to start posting on the platform?  It was lockdown that inspired me. I watched Netflix for about two weeks and then realised that I could either do something creative in the confines of my house or get into bed, turn out the lights, and close the door. If I’m not making something, then I’m not doing well. I have always worked with my hands and materials I could touch. During lockdown, the only thing I had in my house was my cultivated closet of treasures, an iPhone, and a 16-year-old son sequestered in the house with me who was forced to teach me iMovie. At first, I put on YouTube videos because before COVID, I was never really on social media. I still have difficulty naviga...
