You Could Save Hundreds of Pounds With This #1 Shopping Trick

Here at Who What Wear UK, we have been writing for what seems like years that women should shop in the men's department, as these pieces can often look so much cooler. Eva Chen has said on Instagram Stories that she prefers to shop in the Zara men's section, and Alexa Chung has revealed in many style interviews that she prefers men's jumpers for her own closet. Roberta Benteler agrees with Alexa, as she said to us: "Menswear is always cheaper than women's anyway, and the men's jumpers are cut much nicer at Loro Piana; they aren’t so fitted. I like the kind of boxy boyfriend jumper style, so I go there and buy all of the jumpers in a 48, the smallest size, and they are perfect!"
