With temperatures set to hit 30 degrees this Friday, you’d be forgiven for reaching straight for your favourite throw-on boho dress before the week is out. But before you do, allow me to put you onto the sleek ’90s-inspired dress trend that the chicest dressers—Sienna Miller included—are backing right now.

Wearing a floor-skimming strapless gown in an elegant slate-grey shade, Sienna kept the styling deliberately simple. Worlds away from the ruffles, patterns and layers of jewellery that the boho-inclined actor often reaches for, Sienna crafted a sleek, sophisticated look that perfectly suited the New York scene.

Aside from a pair of silver hoop earrings framing her face, she skipped jewellery altogether, letting the clean silhouette do the work. Sophisticated and understated in a '90s Calvin Klein Collection kind of way—which, fittingly, is exactly where the dress was from—Sienna crafted one of her chicest looks to date.

Low-key but undeniably elevated, the elegant strapless dress leans on sleek lines and minimal fuss to deliver a supremely chic ensemble. I have a feeling this refined strapless dress trend is about to take off in a big way over the coming months.

These days, there are so many different perfumes on the market, from floral scents to woody fragrances and citrusy aromas. However, if you're a millennial, you most likely had Vera Wang Princess, DKNY Be Delicious or Calvin Klein Euphoria in your fragrance collection growing up. As a teen, these were the only three scents I wore, and if I smell them now, they bring back such nostalgia. That being said, they've been somewhat forgotten over the years, thanks to new launches and niche perfume brands taking over.

However, if, like me, you recently binged Love Story, you're probably aware that Calvin Klein is having a major comeback for 2026 thanks to Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and her impeccable style. In fact, Sarah Pidgoen, who plays Kennedy on the show, recently wore a custom Calvin Klein dress and a silver CK One clutch to the Oscars, further cementing the brand's cool-girl status.

In perfect timing, Calvin Klein's iconic Euphoria scent has just had a major glow-up, and I know that these fragrances are about to be on the wrists of every fashion person this season. The brand has launched three new perfumes as part of the iconic Euphoria collection, with global star Rosalía as the face.

The original Euphoria scent launched back in 2005, and it oozed cool-girl appeal thanks to a sensual blend of pomegranate, lotus blossom, black orchid and amber. I remember wearing this on nights out and feeling like the ultimate it-girl.

That being said, the new Euphoria scents feel decidedly modern, leaning into the popular gourmand fragrance trend, with vanilla notes running throughout all three perfumes. Each scent remains housed in the iconic sculptural masterpiece that is the original Euphora bottle, each with its own colourful hue, ranging from deep purple to hot pink and bright yellow.

Euphoria Magnetic Elixir is a creamy, musky vanilla scent that sits close to the skin, revealing floral undertones. Meanwhile, Bold Elixir takes on the sensuality of the OG fragrance, with notes of orchid, jasmine and toasted vanilla. In contrast, Solar Elixir is a fruity perfume that feels radiant and luminous, with juicy mango and blooming vanilla flower.

All three perfumes feel incredibly vibrant and bold, with softer elements that linger beautifully throughout the day. What's more, these strong scents have the highest fragrance concentration of any Calvin Klein perfume, leaving an addictive trail wherever you go. I said it once, and I'll say it again: these perfumes are about to be everywhere.

Not too long ago, it felt like you couldn’t turn a corner without brushing shoulders with someone in a barn jacket. But as with all things in fashion, even the most beloved pieces shift in and out of focus. And while I’d never go so far as to declare the barn jackets are out (perish the thought—I still reach for mine on any cooler day), I can't deny that, right now, sleeker, more refined silhouettes are coming to the fore: specifically the single-breasted blazer.

Making a strong case for the return of tailoring, Emily Ratajkowski stepped out in New York this week wearing a razor-sharp Calvin Klein blazer that looked as though it had been plucked straight from the '90s archives. With its clean lines, subtle button detailing and longline cut skimming the top of the thigh.

Upon seeing it, it struck me at just how little I've seen of button-up single-breasted blazers before now; clearly Ratajkoski has captured the styling energy we'll all be tapping into this autumn

Styling it with the suit's matching trousers, Ratajkowski completed her outfit with a pair of peep-toe heels that added a relaxed charm to the sharp suit. And while I love how she styled it as a full suit, I can just as easily picture this blazer working with capri trousers, denim, or even a miniskirt.

Sleek, easy to wear and the perfect layering piece for those not-quite-summer, not-quite-autumn days just around the corner, scroll on to shop my edit of the best styles right now.

What is it like to meet a Disney princess? Exactly what you’d think.

A soft, mellifluous voice, an elegant presence, and even a small animal companion—seriously.

Halle Bailey arrived at our cover shoot with her adorable cat Poseidon in tow. Her fur baby was under the weather, and like any good Disney princess, she was concerned with the care of her creature but still made sure to greet everyone with a warm smile. Bailey is beautiful and luminous in a way you can’t forget. She is the gospel song "This Little Light of Mine” personified.

The day that I meet Bailey for our interview at a sprawling Beverly Hills mansion—the setting for our June cover shoot—she is days away from the start of an epic worldwide press tour for The Little Mermaid, and I asked what message she has for her future self. "I think my note to future Halle would be, ‘Everything is going to be okay. It’s gonna be amazing. Be confident, be proud of yourself and the work that you put into this film, and just enjoy yourself, girl,’” she says.

Never has anyone seemed more fated for a role than Bailey flipping the fin of Ariel. Director Rob Marshall has already made it clear on the press tour for The Little Mermaid that, of the hundreds of young women they saw, Bailey was his clear choice for the live-action remake.

The story goes that Marshall knew Bailey was his Ariel after seeing her and her sister perform at the 2019 Grammys, but Bailey wasn’t sure what the Disney team had up their sleeves when they made the appeal for her to audition. "I had received the requests through my agency, CAA, and they told me that Rob Marshall, the director, wanted to see me for The Little Mermaid. I just remember thinking to myself, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s so cool. What role? … Maybe one of the sisters or something like that.’ And then they said, ‘Ariel, he wants you to read as the lead.’ Instantly, I was so excited but so nervous because of just how much she means to me,” she says. "I instantly went into overdrive trying to prepare for the audition, going over and over it again with my sister and trying to get notes from my family of what can I fix. And then I ended up in New York and met Rob Marshall for the first time. [He] was so kind, was so genuine to me, and just made me feel so comfortable. I was just filled with so much gratitude and joy that he was honestly a really cool person and genuine inside and out.”

It’s worth noting that The Little Mermaid marks Bailey’s first solo career move. Up to this point, Bailey has done everything professionally alongside her sister, Chloe. The two not only make up the Grammy-nominated R&B duo Chloe x Halle, but they also starred together in the Freeform series Grown-ish.

They got their start under Beyoncé’s record label, Parkwood Entertainment, touring with the iconic superstar as tweens. The two Parkwood protégés have a closeness that is so sweet and genuine. You hear the collective "aw” on set when Halle asks that we play Chloe’s new album during the shoot. "My sister is my angel, I truly feel,” she tells me. "So the fact that I got to grow up doing this with her is the luckiest thing that could have ever happened to me because I don’t think I would have been doing any of this without her. The whole sole reason I wanted to sing is because I saw my sister singing. … Next thing you know, we’re singing together, then we’re doing shows together.”

If ever two people made a more dynamic debut, it’s the Bailey sisters. After Ungodly Hour, the sisters decided to take a break from their group to try their hands at solo pursuits. Chloe stepped into her full diva era, performing a sold-out national tour of her debut album and taking on a killer role in the Donald Glover–directed series Swarm. When I think of Chloe and Halle, I hear Nina Simone singing "To Be Young, Gifted and Black.”

The level of poise and humility Halle Bailey displays, I learn, can be attributed to two things: her faith and her family. "I think just growing up in Georgia—and I have a lot of family in South Carolina—we’re Southern girls from a really big family,” she shares. "All my life, I’ve just been surrounded by genuine, true love. But at the same time, when you grow up young in this entertainment industry, you have to take yourself away from the hoopla of it all. Me and my sister had to learn that from a young age, being 15 on tour with Beyoncé. I try not to identify my accomplishments as my worth. That way, I can still stay grounded and feel like I’m a real human being. What matters is love and being with the people you love and the happy, joyful moments that you have with one another. Those are the things that last. God is a very big part of my life and everything as well because none of this will be possible without my faith.”

Bailey is also quick to credit the Parkwood education in stardom for how she got to where she is now: "I think just having that example of the amazing Queen Bey... [She is an] amazing, pristine example of just a hard worker and pushing yourself and knowing that you can just inspire so many generations. That was an amazing example and mentor for us.”

While taking her first step into solo stardom in one of the year’s most anticipated films serves as a massive breakout moment for Bailey, taking a role this big wasn’t part of any carefully curated plan. It was the direction she was led in, and she was open to receiving it. "I’m a very ‘go with the flow’ type of girl,” she adds. "I just let God lead my life. Wherever I’m meant to be, I will end up. I never thought that this would be the way I would be really entering into the acting world. When I think about it, it’s just a mindfreak. It’s immense, and I’m so grateful for it. But I did not think I would venture into acting in this way starting with such a big film.”

As my grandmother would have said, "If you surrender yourself up to God’s blessings, you may be surprised where it leads you.”

When Bailey stepped into the role of Ariel, she entered the world of FODs (First, Only, Different—a phrase coined by Shonda Rhimes). Bailey is quick to give flowers to the FODs who came before her, Brandy Norwood (who played Cinderella in the 1997 Rodgers and Hammerstein TV adaptation) and Anika Noni Rose (the voice of Tiana, Disney’s first Black princess, in The Princess and the Frog).

For a girl who once played with mermaids with her sister, landing the part of Ariel is a dream come true for Bailey, and she hopes her casting is one day seen as standard and not extraordinary. "It’s crazy, because we’re in the year 2023. You would think that these firsts are not firsts anymore,” she says with wistful optimism. "I just hope that for the future it’s not such a shock anymore for a Black woman to be cast as Ariel and for that to just be a normal thing.”

While the character of Ariel means so much to many, it’s beautiful to hear how much the character taught Bailey.

"I’ve been comfortable really just being with somebody all the time. Somebody has always held my hand. I’ve never had to do anything alone. So this was really my first venture into solo adulthood. I had moved to London, and I was in intense rehearsals and stunts and mermaid training, and all of a sudden, I’m going through this not only physical transformation but [also] mental and spiritual transformation of me finding who I am on my own and building that confidence within myself to be able to do these things,” she says. "So I truly feel like Ariel taught me that I’m worthy, and I’m stronger than I thought. We were filming in the middle of the pandemic and in London, and my family couldn’t come visit me. So I was very isolated. Everything was closed down. I would literally go from work to home, and I would sleep on the weekends because I’d be so tired, and then I’d go right back to work. But looking back, I am happy that it was that way. [It] helped me mirror the emotions Ariel was feeling in the film to where she felt trapped and isolated and ready to see a brand-new world where her heart belonged. I felt like there were parallels to both of our lives in the time that I was filming, and I was grateful for that.”

Bailey’s casting was the start of a conversation about where we, as Black women, are allowed to be, even in the world of fictional characters. Many will say Black folks got Tiana, but they fail to remember that she spent the majority of the movie as a frog. So the message was clear: Even in the fantastical, Black women still didn’t get to be ethereal and beautiful. 

But this is different.

A princess we know and love wears red goddess locs and has melanin-rich skin that soaks up the sun. What does that do to your brain to look at a princess and see yourself? A lot. We all saw the little girls whose paradigm shifted in real time watching the film’s trailer. You can see the look in their eyes—their visions for themselves are expanding. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who didn’t cry while watching trailer reactions all over the internet.

As our interview comes to a close, I take a moment to personally thank Bailey for the impact this film has had on me. What does this film feel like to this almost 35-year-old woman?

When I was about 4 or 5 years old, I dressed as the Little Mermaid—bad red wig, purple seashell bra, and fin. I spent the entire evening of trick-or-treating being asked what I was. I was beyond confused because it seemed obvious, as I had all the regalia of Ariel. 

Like the Bailey sisters, I love the ocean, feeling like a fish in the water. So that led to a 12-year Junior Olympic swimming career, travelling the country but hearing competitors call me "black terror” behind my back. There were some pools where I swam that had just taken their first Black members 15 years before I stood on those pool decks.

I sat in on an advance screening of Halle Bailey’s The Little Mermaid, and I cried from the moment the credits started until the film finished. It wasn’t that the movie was particularly emotional or felt like a "very special edition” of the classic Disney film. It was the realisation of how much you were missing before your vision expanded to even include it.

I felt my heart crack open the first time Bailey’s face appeared on-screen. I’d never given myself permission to imagine something like it. Yes, I heard my inner child cheering for joy, but in this moment, the woman who still carries the uncomfortable weight of being called "black terror” through her entire swim career felt that weight disappear. Yes, it’s a remake of a children’s movie, but seeing Bailey playing Ariel makes Black folks feel so much more.

Our relationship with the water is a fraught one. We were carried across it to chattel slavery. We were barred from public pools, with bleach thrown in the water while we tried to splash around. We were hosed with it till our skin flayed when trying to fight for our freedom. Water was weaponized against us during Jim Crow terrorism—it’s about time we reclaimed it.

We’ve tried to return to it. We’ve started acknowledging and calling on the goddess Oshun. But perhaps, as silly as it seems, Bailey stepping into this role is the first step to healing and embracing the libation of water from our ancestors to us.

I cheered when I saw Ariel’s sisters run the gamut from a fair blonde woman to a dark-skinned Black woman. Even the royal court of Prince Eric reminds me of Whoopi Goldberg and Victor Garber as the parents of Filipino Prince Charming Paolo Montalban. It’s not colour-blind casting—it’s colour-brave casting. It requires you to allow everyone into the fantasy.

We’re all there in this film because this young woman had the grace, poise, and preparation to say "Why not me?” to the role of a lifetime.

Thank you, Halle Bailey, from the little girl whose Ariel Halloween costume confused her entire neighbourhood. Thank you from the teenager who heard "Can she even float?” while standing behind the blocks for swim meets. And thank you from the grown woman who may never find words adequate enough to express what it means to see a Brown-skinned woman unapologetically take up space, even under the sea.

This story originally appeared on Who What Wear US.

Over the last decade or so that I've spent working in fashion, I've often been asked for style advice. Whether it's what to wear to a wedding, how to build a capsule work wardrobe, or how to breathe new life into a wardrobe that feels a little "samey," I know how to translate a trend into something wearable. What's the most common topic I get asked about? Seasonal styling advice. Autumn and winter might call for functional dressing that's as comfy as it is chic, but spring and summer are the perfect time to peel off the layers and focus on the outfits that make you look and feel your best. In the interest of building a timeless and versatile wardrobe, I always look for pieces that will stand the test of time. So how do you find the right summer styles for your wardrobe? Well, I've managed to narrow it down to a handful of key buys that work for every style, shape and temperature, and some of them just might surprise you.

After trying on everything from luxury designer pieces to premium high-street styles, I found one brand that manages to cover everything on my summer shopping list, and that's Calvin Klein. We already associate Calvin Klein with elegant '90s minimalism and flattering, elongating silhouettes, but it also specialises in elevated essentials, standout eveningwear and cool classics. When I had the opportunity to pop into the newly opened Calvin Klein store in Battersea Power Station, I jumped at the chance. Everything from the shop floor to the changing room echoes the clean lines and sculptural design of the Calvin Klein aesthetic, and the latest drop of summer essentials is my dream wish list all in itself.

It didn't take long to spot new summer trends alongside warm-weather classics (e.g. tailored shirts, long skirts, and light dresses), and in just half an hour, I managed to assemble the ultimate summer capsule around seven easy pieces. There's something for everyone from the devoted to minimalist to the accessories fanatic, so if you're looking for chic pieces in a refined palette that you can easily mix and match to curate several different but equally impactful looks, keep scrolling. These are the seven pieces I styled up from Calvin Klein's latest collection, and Who What Wear readers get 20% off full price products, just click here for more details. Bring on summer.

Definitive proof that tailoring makes just as much sense in summer as it does in autumn, this wear-with-everything shirt is a layering wonder. It has just enough cover to wear on its own tucked into jeans, but it's light enough to wear over dresses and tops when a jacket is too much. An oversized, white linen shirt is the kind of anti-trend piece that you'll wear for years to come. It will simply never go out of style.

It goes without saying that linen is a summer staple for its cooling properties alone, but relying on the same pair of linen trousers can get repetitive. There is, however, a seamless way to work tailoring into your summer wardrobe without having to sweat your way through wool. Enter the linen blazer. At Who What Wear, we're blazer devotees, not least because of their propensity to make just about every outfit look polished, but the linen blazer will also keep you cool during a heatwave. Wide-leg trousers? Turn them into a sharp suit. Shorts? A linen blazer will add a cargo twist. Slip skirt? A blazer will turn it into workwear perfection. Plus, I'll always advocate for a piece you can wear in any season.

Now, let's talk about swimwear. All too often relegated to the beach, the right swimsuit can actually be repurposed as a bodysuit, and whether you're pulling on a cover-up to go from the beach to the bar or dressing for summer in the city, a one-piece is the chic foundation to build the rest of your look around. Long skirts are having a moment, but these wide-leg crepe trousers are the perfect fit for an easy, tonal look that you can depend on when the temperatures rise.

Sorry, miniskirts. Micro hemlines just aren't my style. Although 2022 might have been the year of the teeny-tiny skirt, for those of us looking for something with a little more longevity, the midi skirt reigns supreme. Slinky midis were the style we didn't see coming, but now we can't live without them. This crepe slip skirt goes with everything from monochrome minimalism to pops of colour, and once again, repurposed swimwear steals the show when worn under a boxy shirt. Who says you need to be on holiday to wear a bikini?

And now, the silhouette that Calvin Klein has mastered to perfection: the elegant slip dress. The last year might have given us flatforms, maxi skirts and cargo trousers, but my favourite thing about the '90s renaissance has to be the return of the slip: an easy, understated piece that has the best cost-per-wear of anything in your wardrobe. Dress it up with heels and a clutch, or keep it casual with trainers and a jacket. This black slip dress is so chic, so I automatically gravitated towards an evening spin. Chunky sandals are the easiest way to keep the look comfortable without having to compromise on style.

Every collection has a showstopper, and for me, it's this twisted-front slip dress. From the colour to the keyhole detail, everything about this delicate dress says "summer," and it's the ideal buy for someone with a busy holiday season ahead. Wear it for dinner dates, poolside drinks, wedding season, city breaks—just about anything. The flattering fit and burnt-orange colour are guaranteed to invite compliments.

Thanks to Katie Holmes, the cardigan co-ord has become one of the most sought after pieces on the market, particularly for warmer weather. When it's too cold for a tank top and too mild for a jumper, what could be easier than a matching set whose layers you can shed in the sun? The ribbed-knit tank is already a firm favourite of mine, and the cardigan takes the look to new levels of sophistication. Thanks, CK.

The weather is warmer, the sandals are out and the Aperol Spritz orders are in, which can only mean one thing: Summer is almost here. The prospect of this season excites most of us in the UK. Higher temperatures, longer days, vacations pending—what's not to love? I can think of only one thing: summer office attire. Looking professional whilst keeping your personal style can be tricky at the best of times, but doing so at the office during a heatwave is a challenge even for us fashion editors. Tailoring is often too restrictive, and there are only so many work-appropriate breathable fabrics on offer. And then there's the dilemma of creating a work wardrobe you'd also wear outside the office. The ideal scenario, of course, is to build a capsule wardrobe that allows our work and personal styles to co-operate with one another. At Who What Wear, we prefer to invest in timeless, quality staples that transcend dramatic seasonal trends whilst remaining fashion-forward and elevating our looks without much effort.

This is where Calvin Klein steps in. The brand has been a household name for decades, prominently known for its iconic slip dresses worn by celebrities in the '90s. But step inside any one of its stores, and you'll discover not only slip dresses (a flawless fail-safe option for any occasion), trans-seasonal denim and a lot of lovely lingerie but also exquisite staples that easily blend together to form a smart wardrobe whether you're in a corporate environment or a much more laid back one. Its silk shirts, leather pencil skirts, monochrome co-ordinating sets and twill short suits are the fashion person's answer to looking and feeling cool on and off duty this summer.

But you don't have to just take my word for it. I went into a store to put together five easy, elevated outfits that are sure to make you look chic without breaking a sweat. And if that isn't tempting enough, Calvin Klein are now offering an exclusive 20% in-store discount for Who What Wear readers. Simply show this article on your phone at the till, and your purchase will be discounted. Read more about this offer here, and keep scrolling to see my looks.

Style Notes: This look is so chic. There's no question that I would love to wear this for dinner on a summer evening. The top's cut feels '60s-inspired. It's sleeveless with a fairly straight fit, but the real beauty is in the black swirl print and overlapping fastening at the back. I styled it with these slightly flared cargo pants to add shape to my silhouette, and placed this beautifully soft leather jacket over my shoulders to add a little more black. It's so sleek, minimalist, and effective. If I were going from a meeting to the restaurant, I wouldn't change a single element.

Style Notes: Everyone knows that summer in the UK requires a trench coat, but this trench is not like any other. It's thick and structured without feeling claustrophobic. It's the perfect length, too—almost the exact length of the midi skirt I wore underneath, so it will still show a little leg below. As for midi skirts (which are having a renaissance this season), this timeless leather number deserves a mention. It would also be fantastic in the cooler months with knee-high boots, so consider it a big investment piece. I styled these with this oversized leather pouch bag (I couldn't resist its giant chain strap) and made this look feel a little preppy by wearing a thick, velvet headband. If you want to make it feel more contemporary, slick your hair back in a low bun, and you're good to go.

Style Notes: I couldn't go into Calvin Klein without trying on one of the sleek slip dresses. Despite the brand priding itself on a neutral palette, pops of colour like this cobalt blue make the occasional appearance. This hue has been a huge trend in the last 12 months, looking sublime against monochrome and silver/grey tones. The low back and spaghetti straps mean this number is an elegant choice for special events such as weddings, but wearing it with sandals and this "ludicrously capacious" bag and bucket hat gives it a casual edge. If there's one thing that gives me joy, it's being able to genuinely style a dress down or elevate it for a multitude of circumstances.

Style Notes: Those that know me will tell you how obsessed I am with short suits. Each year, I count down the days to April, which I consider the official start of Short-Suit Season. Bridging the gap between contemporary-cool and chic, a tailored short paired with a matching blazer has an androgynous, sporty feel that's a welcome alternative to floral maxi dresses that are often a go-to in warmer weather. Depending on what's in your diary for the day, dress this particular one up or down to suit (pun intended). If you're wanting a more relaxed vibe, look to sneakers, open-toed sandals and a cap. (Maybe even remove the blazer belt.) But if you're seeking something more sophisticated, opt for a slingback and cinch in the waist.

Style Notes: A monogrammed belt is an easy and obvious way to make an ensemble look expensive, but ensure the rest of the look is pared back to keep it understated. Instead of other logos, gaudy prints or colours, look to contrasting textures such as this silk shirt with twill tailored shorts. Sometimes, the secret is to keep it simple, so I've gone all black so the warm ivory of the shirt can really sing.

If there's one thing we preach at Who What Wear, it's getting the most out of your wardrobe. We're all about investment pieces, the timeless essentials that cost a little more but last a lot longer. When thinking of elevated basics, one brand especially comes to mind: Calvin Klein. Known for–amongst many things–its 90s slip dresses that were worn by everyone from Kate Moss to Cher Horowitz, whenever the seasonal collections drop, our editors are quick to swoon over them. Monochromatic tailoring, silk shirts and sumptuous leather accessories? Yes, please.

Founded in 1968, Calvin Klein very quickly became a favourite at New York Fashion Week. By the 1970s, it had sportswear and lingerie lines under its belt, but the designer denim heyday of the mid '80s is where the brand really became a household name known for quality cotton basics, jeans and a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. Since then, it has become a pioneer of the understated—one could say the brand invented "quiet luxury" well before it became the term it is now.

It doesn't take much to see that quiet luxury is Who What Wear to a T. Scroll on our site for a moment or two, and you'll no doubt see us use terms such as "capsule wardrobe," "investment pieces" and "affordable luxury," all of which are synonymous with Calvin Klein. If you'll be heading to the store to browse its spring 2023 collections, then don't miss our exclusive 20% discount, which you can use in-store by simply showing this article. You can find out more about this offer here.

As we transition from a cold, wet and rather grey winter into an occasionally sunny but often drizzly spring, we look to key layering pieces that can be worn several different ways. Some say you should dress for the weather you want, but anyone in the UK will tell you that the chance of showers makes it imperative to carry a jacket, especially for those in-between weather days. Of course, there's a plethora of jacket options for this time of year—a leather jacket is a personal favourite, and everyone loves a trench coat—but today, we're making a case for the blazer.

At WWW, blazers aren't just part of our capsule wardrobes—they're part of our identity, our unofficial uniform. But this isn't just any blazer. This is Calvin Klein's cropped smoking jacket. To show its versatility, I headed into the store and style it in five different but equally excellent ensembles. Keep scrolling to see my outfits, and if you would like to re-create these looks, then head to the store for an exclusive 20% Who What Wear discount.

This look has transitional capsule wardrobe written all over it! Twill trousers are such a staple for weird weather days. Simply swapping your shoes and removing the blazer makes a March outfit feel appropriate for May. This Calvin Klein vest top is made with 91% sustainable modal, and the super-soft fabric seamlessly fits on the body like a second skin, making it easy to tuck into trousers without any visible creases. (An essential part to elevating staples is ensuring they fit your body correctly.)

In case you missed it, sheer is one of the biggest trends for spring 23. But admittedly, sometimes sheer mesh is difficult to elevate. Make way for this ribbed dress, which is made with an Ottoman knit fabric, so it feels luxe and polished. You don't need me to tell you that the ribbing designed in a vertical direction helps to elongate the silhouette, and the slip dress that comes with it makes it appropriate for any occasion. Swap out these sandals and this ultra-soft leather shoulder bag for a clutch, heels and a lipstick, and this dress becomes a strong contender in the "wedding guest dress" category.

Next up: denim. It's something we all know Calvin Klein does so well. This high-waisted silhouette with a flare is great with a cropped jacket as it showcases the natural waistline unlike oversized blazers that can swamp. For underneath, I selected a vest top in this beige hue, a warmer alternative to white. (I can never keep them fresh for very long.) For accessories, I went sleek and sophisticated with a shoulder bag and pointed mules, elevating the jeans to feel office or dinner appropriate.

Calvin Klein appreciates a neutral colour palette. Soft beiges, navy and occasional pops of bold colour (I hear mustard and cobalt blue have just hit the store floors) help balance out the monochromatic scheme that the brand is known for. Whilst we love all-black dressing (especially on those days when you have to go straight to your evening plans from work), it can be hard to make an all-black outfit feel interesting. The answer to this problem is texture and finer details. This coordinating skirt and top have a fish net overlay that attracts the eye and adds an element of unexpected interest. This netting paired with the cropped blazer gives an edge to your usual "skirt and matching top" outfit. My tip: For a more casual feel, drape the jacket over the shoulders.

Perhaps I've saved the best for last—because a two-piece suit never fails. These tailored trousers obviously look like they were made for this jacket, but then, they were made for it! The wide leg feels very now, and I love how the trousers sit on the waist just above where the jacket ends. This silhouette is just so flattering and comfortable, which is exactly what we can expect from a premium brand such as Calvin Klein, who has always excelled in tailoring. Whether it's for work or play, this two-piece will always work.

Ever since I entered my 30s a few years ago, I’ve started to feel much more confident in knowing my own style. I’ve been a stylist and editor in the industry for a decade, and working in such close proximity to the latest trends has meant a lot of trial and error with different fashion identities over the years. Recently, though, I’ve come to embrace my classic taste and eschew passing trends for a wardrobe that feels altogether more timeless and versatile. I want my outfits to feel more polished and sophisticated, and I’m also tired of throwaway attitudes towards fashion. I’d much rather invest in quality pieces that will stand the test of time.

As part of this outlook, capsule wardrobe staples have become my speciality, and I spend an awful lot of my time researching and trying on the best classic pieces from high-end luxury designers to high-street retailers in order to report back on the very best styles. That being said, there’s one brand, in particular, that I turn to again and again for these elevated essentials, and that’s Calvin Klein.

In my opinion, where Calvin Klein really shines is its modern but classic womenswear, which draws from the brand’s rich archive, synonymous with iconic ’90s minimalism. So when I was invited into the newly opened Calvin Klein store in Westfield London, I wasn’t surprised by how incredibly chic it was and how much of the latest spring collection I ended up adding to my wardrobe wish list. You'll also be pleased to discover that Calvin Klein are treating Who What Wear readers to an exclusive 20% discount in store until 10th April. You can find out all the details on how to get the discount here. 

I went into the store with the challenge of pulling together some timeless outfits perfect for the transition from winter to spring and through the rest of the year as well. And honestly, it really wasn’t a challenge at all. I managed to assemble the ultimate elevated spring capsule in just six simple outfits (including the perfect oversized trench coat and some very elegant relaxed tailoring). Not only did the array of neutral pieces feel like a breath of fresh air (there’s more on the impressive quality and fits below), but honestly, the whole in-store experience was a joy—and that’s coming from someone who actively dislikes shopping centres, changing rooms and the stress and bright lights of real-life shops. If you’re looking for a perfectly-lit, über-flattering mirror and a spa-like atmosphere in which to thoughtfully curate your new-season capsule wardrobe, I highly recommend you swing by Calvin Klein (especially with the amazing discount they're offering Who What Wear readers right now). 

Keep scrolling for more on the six transitional looks I styled up from Calvin Klein’s new collection.

In my opinion, having a great edit of light jackets is the key to dressing successfully during the transitional seasons of spring and autumn. Paired with a mix of tailoring, soft layers and refined accessories, the bomber jacket is suddenly elevated from streetwear to something all the more elegant and modern. With this look, I wanted to prove that a bomber is an extremely versatile piece that can take you from the office to evening drinks to casual weekends—just switch between heels and trainers.

SHOP THE LOOK

This Calvin Klein collection impressed me in its entirety, but I have to say it was the tailoring, and especially the suiting, that I would recommend investing in. I tend to avoid colour as a rule, but if there’s ever a time to incorporate some tonal pastels, it’s spring. This subtle apricot felt more like a neutral that would add a fresh dimension to my existing palette of creams, beiges and greys. And I’d happily have walked straight out of the shop in this ultra-soft coat.

I also want to take a moment to highlight the quality and fit of the Calvin Klein collection, which impressed me so much, especially when it came to this layered suit-and-coat combo. The fabrics felt incredibly elevated and much more expensive than their mid-range price point. Everything draped beautifully and fit true to size across the collection. I’m between a size 8 and 10 and sized down to an 8 in most items. This gave a flattering fit around around the waist, but the pieces still maintained a modern slouch that feels so relevant. Right now, it’s really hard to find pieces on the market that have both of these features—trust me.

SHOP THE LOOK

This look may be simple, but to me, it totally epitomises the iconic Calvin Klein look: classic, wearable staples underpinned by sensuality and modern elegance. It’s a combination that I know would meet my needs for so many occasions. It’s easy and effortless but still incredibly chic—basically everything I want from my wardrobe heroes. I also love the refined detailing of the Calvin Klein logo printed on the sleeve of this blouse. Sometimes, it’s the little things that make a simple outfit feel expensive!

I’m only 5’2”, so I’d opt to have my trouser lengths shortened slightly, but I did love how cool they felt puddled around trainers and with flashes of pointed-toe shoes appearing as they are here.

SHOP THE LOOK

Before my store visit, I’d already heard murmurs across the industry about how good Calvin Klein’s new oversized trench coat was. Of course, I had to try it for myself. And while I was in the store, so many other women came in and made a beeline for this classic piece. Yes, it’s oversized, and I even went a couple of sizes down so that it didn’t completely swamp me (the downside of being petite). But if you’ve been searching for a modern version of this spring staple that feels expensive and directional in order to elevate your T-shirt-and-jeans outfits, look no further.

SHOP THE LOOK

I couldn’t try on Calvin Klein’s collection without a nod to the ’90s, especially when it’s such a huge trend and looks to be going absolutely nowhere. Cargo pants may be all over the high street (and runways) right now, but I love these trousers that feel like a subtler, more sophisticated take on the trend. Running with the theme, I paired them with this buttery-soft, cropped leather jacket, which is so luxe I wouldn’t have been surprised to find another zero on end of the price. It fits quite small, so I sized up here to keep it a little slouchier on the shoulders and then added this architectural shoulder bag that caught my eye the moment I walked into the store.

SHOP THE LOOK

I'm a self-confessed dress avoider, so it's unusual for me to really love an outfit that doesn't involve trousers. However, there's no denying how versatile and useful a great ribbed-knit dress is in a capsule wardrobe. So for the sake of the piece (and for all you dress people out there), I thought I would try this style on to see what I thought. Honestly, I surprised myself with how much I liked it, and I may or may not have been convinced by the ease of throwing on a single item in the morning and having a perfectly formed outfit. It felt feminine but with an edge, and I could see myself wearing it so much with these chunky (read: extremely comfortable) sandals in spring or with knee-high boots in autumn and winter—surely the sign of a capsule wardrobe essential.

Last night at the 89th annual Academy Awards, Naomie Harris, who was nominated for her role in Moonlight, stepped out in what is now Raf Simmons’s first official red carpet moment in his role as the new chief creative officer at fashion house Calvin Klein. What a way to begin, with Harris sweeping everyone off their feet in a midi-length, sequined and strapless white dress with a floor-length train.

Aside from the white sequins (actually not bridal at all), proportion play, chic cutouts and perfect fit, what really wowed us about Harris’s look was actually her shoes (which are also by Calvin Klein). Not only were the two-strapped yellow sandals the perfect pop of colour to complement the dress, the mismatched embellishments on the straps of each shoe have us planning our next DIY project.

We all remember those shots of Justin Bieber and Kendall Jenner in the last round of Calvin Klein's #MyCalvins campaign—could they ever be topped? Perhaps. Because now there's more scorching A-list action to add to this fashion fire. 

Currently spreading across Instagram like crazy are Tyrone Lebone–lensed photographs of Grace Coddington (she "purrs" in hers, apparently!), Kate Moss, Bella Hadid, Anna Ewers, Margot Robbie… the list goes on, and we can't decide which shot is the best. So scroll down and give us your take—which ad shot gets your vote? And what do you in your Calvins?

When you're a fashion blogger, you may want to celebrate your wedding all month long—at least that's what Brazilian street style star Helena Bordon did. South America's biggest fashion It girl walked down the aisle earlier this month in a vintage Valentino gown complete with a dramatic veil. 

For ceremony number two, which took place in St. Barth's, the beautiful bride donned a slinky Calvin Klein dress designed by Francisco Costa. The custom slip gown looked gorgeous against the seaside backdrop, but it was the dress's back that captured our attention. Lace and tulle accents cascade down the back-baring gown, and the look is breathtaking. We're in total awe of this exquisite stunner. 

Take a look at Bordon's second wedding gown below, and keep scrolling to shop styles inspired by her custom creation.

There are few other trends that can claim to be literally thousands of years old, but the anklet is up there with the most ancient of ancient fashion items. It's been a pretty bumpy ride for this small piece of body jewellery over the centuries (if your mother never told you, well, look it up!), but the anklet has regained some directional ground for spring 2016.

First up: Francisco Costa gave sneakers the anklet treatment for Calvin Klein's ode to the '90s: These chunky chains came threaded through the loop-tags of equally chunky skate sneaks. It's a trick you can easily emulate for free.

Meanwhile, Rihanna has been stacking 'em up like there's no tomorrow, piling fine trinkets upon fine chains until her court shoes look as though they've acquired some seriously decorative ankle straps. Other high profile fans include Miranda Kerr and Ashley Olsen. Über-blogger Pernille Teisbaek likes them so much she's basically got one tattooed on her left foot and wears a gold chain on her right—now that's dedicated.

Style Notes: Gucci's backless loafers create a wide open space for anklet action.

So the anklet is stepping back into vogue and they're becoming a part of the standard offering from many jewellers, which means—hey, presto—you can get hold of a chic one very easily. No hippy friendship bands here, thank you.

For its latest #mycalvins campaign, Calvin Klein is getting rather provocative by incorporating the act of sexting into its advertisements. The five newly released images (shot by Mario Sorrenti) depict couples of varying sexualities sharing intimate moments and are finished off with text message boxes displaying suggestive conversations thought to have taken place before the act. They go so far as to mention a threesome.

When asked about the brand’s motives, chief marketing officer Melisa Goldie told WWD, “We saw a behaviour happening out there—and not just [with] the younger generation. It’s really dating via digital. It’s authentic and true to how this consumer communicates. … We’re highlighting the truth about dating—the meet up, the hookup and the freedom that you have through the digital dating landscape and how instantaneous it is.” Well, considering how many people use Tinder these days, we can’t argue with that!

ICYMI: The ‘90s are officially back. Missy Elliott performed at the Super Bowl halftime show, Kate Moss is everywhere, and even Johnny Depp is looking like his younger self. What’s more, there are also a ton of noticeably ‘90s-inspired street style trends happening in the world right now—but only a few that really matter.

We scoured the globe to come up with a solid list of the five ‘90s fashion trends that are officially back—and that we care about. If you loved Clueless, obsessed over everything Liv Tyler ever did, and kept your eyes peeled for all things Winona Ryder, then this one goes out to you.

Drew Barrymore unofficially originated the truly slouchy jean way back in 1991—and we’ve been seeing it lately on the streets of major cities from Copenhagen (above) to Paris. 

If the choker was good enough for Winona, consider it good enough for us. As we already observed, the neck-hugging accessory is officially back—and we’re really not mad about it. 

The Calvin Klein team has been making a big push as of late to rejoin the style set, circa Kate Moss in the ‘90s. They created the hashtag #MyCalvins, and have been dressing bloggers and street style stars alike in their iconic, logo-emblazoned undies. 

The boot brand beloved by alt-punk-rock girls in the ‘90s has officially worked its way into contemporary high-fashion. The shoes are especially preferred by models off duty and other more grunge-inspired ladies.

What might be considered the crowning jewel of ‘90s fashion, the flannel has had a slow, but steady reentry into sartorial culture. The button-down brand Rails is huge with everyone from bloggers to Beyoncé—and their most popular styles are flannel.

Los Angeles tends to be largely overlooked when it comes to its contributions to the fashion community--but not last night! Daily Front Row hosted the first-ever Fashion Los Angeles Awards (which the publication has playfully dubbed the FLAs), honouring a number of designers and other style influencers for their contributions to Hollywood fashion.

Moschino's Jeremy Scott received the Womenswear Designer of the Year award, Calvin Klein's Italo Zuccheli won for menswear, Christian Louboutin won for shoes, Gigi Hadid took home the Model of the Year award, and many more. Some of Hollywood's brightest fashion stars showed up to honour their cohorts, and they lit up the red carpet with some fabulous wardrobe choices.

Remember way back in July when rumours were flying that Justin Bieber would be the new face of Calvin Klein underwear? Well, all our dreams (or nightmares, depending upon whether or not you count yourself a Belieber) have come true: Bieber is indeed the new face of Calvin Klein's underwear and jeans campaigns.

Bieber shared the news via Instagram today, and WWD confirms it. He stars in the ads alongside model Lara Stone, in poses we assume are throwbacks to the iconic CK ads of the '80s, when Mark Wahlberg and Kate Moss modelled in their skivvies for the brand. Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott shot the images in New York.

"Justin’s global recognition, expressed affinity for the brand, and powerful persona bring a compelling energy to our jeans and underwear brands," Calvin Klein chief marketing officer Melisa Goldie tells WWD of the decision to tap the star. Also: The beefed-up Biebs happens to look pretty good in his undies.

In addition to Jerome Dreyfuss’ slouchy Max Leopard Bag ($2295), Madekwe eyed Proenza Schouler’s The PS11 Classic Textured Leather Shoulder Bag ($1950) in Bright Blue, noting that she would wear it cross-body style to add a touch of prep to her outfit. 

When Madekwe’s embracing her edgier sensibilities, Saint Laurent’s Leather Ankle Boots ($950) in Red are the perfect finishing touch. 

Madekwe showcased her affinity for the boyfriend jean when she turned up at our office wearing a pair with Chanel flats. She confirmed her love for the slouchy style when she picked the similarly slouchy Relaxed Straight Leg Jeans ($88) by Blank NYC.

A fan of the grunge trend for fall, Madekwe quickly fell for the Marc by Marc Jacobs Aimee L’Oeil Merino Wool Sweater ($280). “I would wear this with a really dark maroon lip, some ripped jeans, and Dr. Martens, ” she says.

Madekwe first called out the swishy silhouette and studded detailing of Versus’ Allover Gold Studded Skirt ($595) in Black, but she also liked the fact that she could “dress it down with a denim shirt and some brogues.”

“A sweatshirt with leather sleeves is all me,” Madekwe says, laughing, pulling AllSaints’ Niro Top ($260) off the rack. “This would be a great everyday piece with skinny jeans, flats, or sneakers. You could definitely wear this in the evening as well.”

Of all the jewellery pieces in our closet, Madekwe was most smitten with J.Crew’s Spiky Rope Necklace ($128). “I love wearing really ornate embellished pieces with more dressed-down items,” she says.

A good pointy pump, like Brian Atwood’s Cassandra Pumps ($613) in Rouge Suede, are a staple for the actress. So what would she wear with them? Simply put: “Everything I own.”

“Stripes are a great basic,” Madekwe says. She immediately gravitated toward towards LNA’s Ruby Tank ($84), commenting on its ability to quickly pull an outfit together. “This would be great with a red lip—very French,” she added.

Not just any denim jacket will do for this British stunner. “Again, it’s a basic with something special,” she said about Versus’ Jean Jacket with Studded Details ($625). “I love the embellishment and that it has that old-school ‘90s vibe.”
