One of our favorite historical figures—the delightfully droll Benjamin Franklin—once said that you should, "never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today." While this bit of anti-procrastination wisdom may have helped Mr. Franklin frame the constitution...
In the grand tradition of Kate Moss, Erin Wasson, and Irina Lazareanu, we are always inspired by models who possess a totally unique perspective when it comes to their behind-the-scenes sartorial taste. Recently, while trawling through thousands of runway...
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...
In terms of costumes, Dorothy Gale from the 1939 silver-screen gem The Wizard of Oz is as iconic as it gets. While nothing can match the ruby slippers, gingham dress, and wicker basket all worn by Judy Garland's Dorothy, right now, that outfit...
While pondering the perfect way to showcase fall's most important pieces, we went through countless editorial concepts and considered many different models. But no matter how swell an idea sounded or what wonderful girl could be cast, at the end of the...
If there were a word to sum up summer, it would have to be carefree. Since we were little, we have always looked forward to these three golden months where our biggest worry was when the ice cream truck would come around, and what would we get (decisions,...
Much like the way a chef needs to know how to perfectly execute a range of recipes (everything from complicated showstoppers to simple crowd pleasers), we think every woman should be equipped with a diverse repertoire of shoe styles. If heels are the...
Super-groups, in general, are better in theory than they are in reality (remember the Traveling Wilburys? Yeah, not so much.) While we love the idea of combining amazingly talented individuals who are already well-established in the music community, we...
If you are anything like us, you surely have a tried-and-true morning routine from which you rarely stray. While ours usually involves coffee, two coats of mascara, and a mad dash to find our car keys, once that's sorted we're free to indulge in our favorite...
While some people refer to the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala as the East Coast Oscars, to try and compare it to any other event diminishes its place atop the pantheon of fashionable fêtes. Unlike the Academy Awards or the Cannes Film Festival,...
The Cannes Film Festival is always fertile ground for emerging, fashionable, and talented starlets to showcase their on-screen work and off-screen style. Naturally, we watch the proceedings very carefully, as the competition always makes us aware of international...
Just in case there was any doubt in your mind, the eighties are officially unstoppable. In addition to influencing the fashion world (strong shoulders,...
If you picked up a fashion magazine sometime in the last few months, surely you've heard the news. As dictated by the runways, the fashion story of the S/S 09 season is strong shoulders (and we're not talking about deltoids). That's right, dear readers,...
During our weekly visit to the newsstand, we were struck by how many magazines hit the same note on their January covers. As you might have noticed too, nearly every glossy has some form of the phrase “New Year, New You!” as a cover line and the issues...
As a small tribute to Thanksgiving, we'll kick off this edition of WWSW: Answers! by stating just how grateful we are to the fashion industry and the well-dressed crop of celebs (you know who you are) who keep this story going. We also want to...
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...
Preppy style never really dies; it just excuses itself to refresh its gin and tonic and accidentally wanders away for a few years. Though we tried to ignore the signs that WASP-y wear was asserting itself again (pastel polos with popped collars, we’re...
One of the things we truly cherish about clothes is their ability to take you back to a specific time and place. Much like hearing a particular song or smelling a certain scent, key pieces can transport you—consider it a garment-induced memory, if you...
Luella Bartley selected a worthy and unexpected muse as the inspiration point for her S/S 08 collection—Thora Birch’s sardonic character in Ghost World—and we’re getting a kick out of the results. The runway look comes across a bit like Daria (Morgendorffer,...
