During the Victorian era, black clothing symbolized the absence of light and life; however, in modern times, wearing sooty shades has little to do with this bygone notion. Yes, inky outfits are still de rigueur for sad situations, but it is certainly appropriate to wear all-black for any happy occasion. Whether you want to get a glamorous, modest, seductive, practical, elegant, powerful, or modern look, black should be the go-to hue for your winter wardrobe. Not only is noir easy to integrate into your rotation, but it's also flattering and complimentary to any skin tone (in an office full of blondes, brunettes, and a redhead thrown in for good measure, we constantly rock the all-black ensembles!) Needless to say, we are going back to unbasic black in today's How They Wear feature!
In this installment of Ask A Stylist, we tackle one of the most prevalent—and sexiest—style concerns yet: how to pull off a body-con skirt. This surprisingly flattering trend is still super-hot among Hollywood's fashionable elite and it is a wonderful look for non-red-carpet moments too. In fact, we think it's so remarkably wearable that we will provide you with two distinct ways to wear this body-skimming piece. With no further ado, we'll leave you to enjoy today's episode of Ask A Stylist as we take this must-have mini and make it work for day and for night!
At Who What Wear, we work hard so we can play hard. In fact, our office mantra might be summed up best by the poignant lyrics sung by one of our favorite Atlanta Housewives, Kim Zolciak, in "Tardy for the Party." (Oh yes!) Much like said blonde, on Friday nights we want to: "Forget about work and the stress of the week / Party all night and we won't go to sleep." That sentiment is particularly true around the holidays, when we're given ample opportunity to celebrate with an endless stream of soirees. Of course, when marching to the beat of such a merry drum, it's important to be equipped with the best fancy footwear available. (After all, the perfect pump is the most covetable accessory, as it is one of the easiest ways to completely transform a look.) In the hopes of outfitting you for all your upcoming festivities-while keeping you on budget, of course-in today's Under $300 we've wrangled a selection of sharp and stylish heels that are certain to look chic all season long.
Whether it's serendipity, coincidence, or just plain good taste, WhoWhatWear.com readers and staffers alike seem to be single-minded in the pursuit of finding out what our favorite fashionable celebrities are wearing. For example, much like your submitted queries, we were also curious about Sienna Miller's faux fur coat and Olivia Palermo's military-inspired cardigan! Thankfully for us all, we had our lookbooks and publicists' email addresses at the ready, so we couldn't be more thrilled to go about our business of tracking down all the pertinent details in today's Answers installment!
