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...
If describing our relationship with hosiery, one could say that we've been going steady with opaque tights for quite some time now. Always dependable, they allow us to wear our favorite minis when the temperatures drop and ground our more outrageous ensembles....
Once the initial excitement of a new fashion season starts to wears off, it's always a good idea to have a few outfit-tricks up your sleeve. Right now you're probably starting to look for a few fresh ideas for your fall routine, so why not look to the...
Every season, there are a handful of prints on the prowl, but for autumn, trendsetters are pouncing on one in particular: leopard. While animal-influenced patterns are nothing new—after all, everyone from Carole Lombard to Kate Moss has worn the classic...
While the winter months will see us in thigh-high boots—or considering them, in the very least—such heavy-duty footwear can seem a little out of place when the weather is still changing. Luckily, the recent crop of killer ankle boots offers a forecast-and-figure-friendly...
As campers, we were always thrilled when our counselors called out our names and handed us letters from friends. And while snail mail has given way to email, and our inbox is inundated with clothing queries rather than questions regarding our latest crush,...
While the fashion world is besotted by the beautiful couture creations on display in various European cities, we would like to bring a decidedly less-dramatically-designed garment to your attention: the boyfriend shirt. That's right, dear readers, the...
The spring runways are chock full of off-the-charts-amazing accessories, but of all the emerging trendy pieces, the boxy bag is attracting considerable attention. We spotted this ladylike handbag at a number of shows, such as Chloe and Oscar de la Renta,...
We’re not sure who is to blame—overly made-up eighties aerobics queens, perhaps—but somewhere along the line, blue eye makeup got a pretty terrible reputation. Even the most dedicated beauty fanatics we know tend to stay away from these hues, fearing...
We are always receptive to any and all types of glistening objects, but we tend to pay extra attention to them towards the end of the year. What with shiny wrapping paper, twinkling holiday lights, and fresh coats of shimmering snow (for some) on the...
Handbags are arguably the most important element in any ensemble, because you can tell so much about a person's style just by the kind of purse they carry. Part of our job description entails keeping tabs on the must-have bags each season (it's a tough...
In our (humble) opinion, there’s no finer way to kick off a style-driven week than by checking out WhoWhatWear.com’s daily story. Not to toot our own horn too much, but we’re particularly pleased by the content du jour: a range of top-notch selections...
We’re not usually prone to nursery rhymes around the WhoWhatWear.com office, but lately we can’t get the words to “One, Two, Buckle My Shoe” out of our heads. Thankfully, there is a good reason why we keep humming this terrible tune: the delectable medley...
Technically, there are still a few shows left before the major Fashion Weeks are finally finished, but we’re waving our white flags today. As part of our terms of surrender, we’ve created one last batch of the best personal style seen at the New York,...
Welcome back, dear readers, to our continued reporting on Fashion Week mania. There were so many stylish starlets, models, and industry insiders on the prowl in New York for the spring shows this week that we simply couldn’t limit our coverage to a single...
Unanimous cries of jubilation filled our office the day we got word that our latest Insider’s Picks would come courtesy of Alexa Chung. The British model-turned-TV presenter has a thoughtful, attentive, and individualistic way of putting herself...
Of all the content we create for WhoWhatWear.com, the most polarized reactions and unpredictable responses always stem from a single story—A Guy’s Opinion. Despite the controversy, we think it’s interesting to hear another perspective on fashion and we...
We knew that it was only a matter of time before high-waisted style would no longer be content with just infiltrating and taking over skirts, trousers, and jeans, but would move into shorts territory too. Well, dear readers, that hour is upon us and shorts...
Ever since Zoe Kazan confessed her must-have accessory of the season—a bicycle—we’ve become a little cycle crazy. We found ourselves making mental lists of which...
There’s always something to learn from the way celebrities, models, and trendsetters put themselves together. Sometimes they show us how to wear a dramatic runway trend in a practical way. Other times, an outfit might spark some sort of do-it-ourselves...
