When I wrote Who What Wear's spring summer 2021 trend report, there was one item that I knew was a look I would try whatever 2021 has in store for us—second-skin tops. These tight, body-skimming rollnecks went viral in 2020 when Adele and Beyonce both wore Marine Serre's cult moon-print fitted tops and they were also seen at the likes of Miu Miu and Jil Sander.

They are surprisingly versatile to style, as you can wear them with high or low waistbands, simply tucked into jeans or layered underneath dresses or chunkier knits. And I'm here for any extra base layers I can get for a winter spent outside. Always ahead of new trending items, you'll find plenty of second-skin tops in Who What Wear Collection's latest drop at Zalando. There's tie-dye, animal print and moody floral versions, however the one top I've been wearing the most is a black fitted turtleneck with a subtle metallic chevron pattern. It's an upgrade on my usual black rollnecks, but is still simple enough to work as a layering piece too.

There's something so whimsical about the onset of autumn. The air becomes crisp, and leaves turn to shades of yellow, orange, and red, blanketing parks and sidewalk across the country. Oftentimes, the new seasonal collections mimic this comforting shade combination, as these autumnal colours have become synonymous with the season. 

From cosy orange knits to chocolate-hued trench coats and yellow patterned dresses, Who What Wear's new collection also embraces the shade range we turn to every autumn. The brand's latest collection was made with British women in mind, merging key trends of the season with practical, timeless essentials. Tapping into 2020's top styles, including graphic checks, leather coats, and abstract patterns, the range is versatile yet fashion-forward. 

Earlier this month, our editors were lucky enough to get a sneak peek at a few of the collection's latest pieces, taking our favourite items for a trial run amongst the autumn foliage. From a statement-making blue check jacket to a timeless midi skirt and a few knit pieces thrown in for good measure, keep scrolling to see how our editors styled key pieces from the new collection.

"This leather trench coat is one of the hero pieces in the autumn collection, and I decided to go for full '70s vibes by wearing it with a brown printed blouse and my high-waisted flares."

We launched our Who What Wear collection in Europe earlier this year—a curated edit designed with the most popular insider trends in mind. Think thong sandals, oversize clutch bags, printed dresses, Bermuda shorts and statement trench coats. These pieces all have a fashion edge but aren't just fad trend pieces, as they are designed to be re-worn year after year. 

There are certain hero pieces in the collection that have been particularly popular with the influencer crowd, including a zebra top worn by Anne-Laure Mais and a lime-green handbag that has been one of the most Instagrammed pictures from the collection. These items, and several more cult buys, have just gone into the summer sale on Zalando—so keep scrolling for our edit.

If you’re a regular reader of Who What Wear UK, you’ll know that last month we dropped our very first shoes, bags, and clothing collection. We thought it was about time we turned our expertise on trending styles and cult products to a line that we knew all our readers would love to shop. It was a long time in the making, but the whole collection is now available at Zalando, and we couldn’t be more excited.

From the perfect strappy sandals (spring, is that you?!), to easy-to-wear dresses and street-style ready ruffled blouses, there’s really something for everyone. You’ve already seen how our editors are wearing their favourite styles, but we also wanted to share how some of our go-to influencers have been styling up the collection. These women give us major daily style inspiration, so it’s fair to say we trust their opinions when it comes to their top picks.

Karoline Dall

"I chose to style the new Who What Wear Collection in a very light, effortless and feminine way, which is very ‘me.’ I love dressing in colour and cute patterns to lift my mood, so these styles work perfectly.

"This floral maxi dress has to be my favourite piece. I’m a big fan of long dresses, in general, as I think there are so many ways you can wear one all year round. It’s the style I turn to whenever I feel like I have nothing to wear. I’ll be pairing with the heeled flip-flop sandals (my favourite shoe style at the moment) and the beautiful limeade croc bag.”

"I really want to dress up more for everyday with heels and lots of other accessories in 2020. No matter what I’m doing, my days feel so much more fun when I feel a bit overdressed so you’ll see me in this floral number a lot I’m sure. I also can’t wait to wear this pink jumpsuit on repeat. When I buy new clothes, I always make sure I can use them for different occasions so I know I’ll wear it more than once. They say pink and green should never be seen together, but I’m obsessed with this bright combination.”

Constance Arnoult

"My style is always quite classic. We often define French style as ‘less is more,’ so I styled up my Who What Wear Collection look in a simple but chic way. I love the shape of these faux-leather trousers, the super-high waist is so flattering and leg-lengthening for someone who is petite like me, and you can alter the waist with the belt so they fit perfectly.

"My favourite piece in the whole collection so far, though, has to be the white ruffled shirt. I’ll be wearing it either with a classy blazer to smarten it up or knotted over a long skirt. I’m a big fan of a basic look with statement accessories. An animal print bag can really lift your entire look, so I’ll be wearing this one on repeat.”

"My spring/summer capsule wardrobe is going to include lots of easy-to-wear dresses like this khaki number, which is such a soft material. A new styling trick I’m going to start trying this summer is wearing scarves and sarongs as tops—I saw so many girls doing it last year and loved it.”

Niki Wu

"The way I shop is to pick pieces that amaze me at first sight. I just had to get my hands on this green floral minidress from the new Who What Wear Collection. It’s so eighties and fun, and the lime-green bag is a favourite of mine from the whole edit. A colourful dress and a bright bag is my simple go-to style. I’ll be pairing it with so much of my wardrobe this spring.”

"As well as playing with colour, I’m also going to be trying out some bold silhouettes and shapes this coming season. A pair of statement shiny boots is on my spring capsule wish list to dress everything up. I’m into trying lots of different and irregular style choices this year!”

It’s been an exciting, busy week here at the Who What Wear London office. Not only have we been out and about covering fashion week, but the Who What Wear collection, our new edit of clothes, shoes and bags, has just launched in the UK. Full of spring’s most shoppable (and Instagrammable) trends, we couldn’t wait to get our hands on the line and start incorporating it into our new-season wardrobes.

From thong sandals to strappy wedding guest heels to the perfect updated trench coat, we think you’re going to be just as excited as us to get stuck into shopping the new sustainable line (read more on that here). The collection is now available on Zalando and Selfridges, and this week, our editors have been trying everything on and working out the best ways to style the hero pieces. And what better excuse to showcase the new collection than at the launch party?

Find out which pieces we all chose to wear and shop our outfits below…

Emma Spedding, Editor

"I am really into leather separates at the moment, so I am a big fan of this wrap-effect chocolate brown leather skirt, which I paired with my recently purchased tie-dye top from a new brand Marcia. Another of my favourite trends for summer is thong sandals, and I went for the snake print, which is available in-store at Selfridges for a fun clash with the tie-dye. The black leather shoulder bag is really practical, as even though it's small, I've managed to fit in my glasses, phone and wallet."

Alyss Bowen, Associate Social Media Editor

"I've been looking for the perfect pair of faux-leather trousers and I think I may have just found them. These buttery brown pair look so great paired with a white shirt or jumper, and while white heels wouldn't normally be my thing, I'm really into this pairing. I used this lime green bag throughout LFW, and it's a dream. I can't wait for it to drop online soon so I can own it forever."

Joy Montgomery, Shopping Editor

"I'm a sucker for wide-leg jeans, and this WWW collection white pair are the best I've seen in a while. They sit at a super-flattering point on the waist and taper out, making them a fab pairing for fitted tops and shirts. For formal occasions, I'll be styling them with a shirred top, strappy sandals and baguette bag. For the weekend, I'll add chunky boots and a cardigan. Simply perfection."

Zoe Anastasiou, Fashion Editor

"I loved wearing this faux-leather skirt to the launch party. It was a preview piece so it will be coming out in the coming months, but for now, my favourite styles from the collection include the thong sandals I'm wearing and this waist-detail blouse, which I feel like I would wear all the time with jeans for brunch at the weekend and with this skirt for evening cocktails."

Emily Dawes, Branded Content Editor

I'm a self-confessed coat addict, so when I come across a style this perfect, I get very excited. I've been on the lookout for a slightly more fashion-y oversize trench since last spring, and this fits the bill perfectly. As Joy has said, these white denim culottes are really flattering and so easy to dress up with a pair of strappy heels.

The time has finally come. After months of behind-the-scenes research, planning and designing we’re so excited to announce the launch of Who What Wear Collection. It is a curated edit of the best clothes, shoes and bags to take you into spring top-to-toe, and they're all dropping this week on Zalando. 

Designed with the most-popular insider trends in mind—from thong sandals to oversize clutch bags and Insta-ready dresses to the perfect trench coat—if you’re looking to tick off some of this season’s biggest obsessions with your spring shopping, we’ve got you covered.

After all, if anyone should be able to design a clothing collection of the hottest pieces, it's probably us. We spend our lives pouring over street style images, researching cult pieces and talking to industry insiders about the hottest trends out there. The editor-approved collection is inspired by global street style trends but is created with our community of stylish and experimental women in mind—an affordable It brand for those in the know, capturing what’s happening in the world of fashion right now. 

Not only does it look good, but we’ve also been sure to use great quality fabrics. All of our shoes and handbags are produced in a carbon-net neutral factory, the first in the world to be certified climate neutral. The leather is LWG-certified and our footwear box packaging is 100% recyclable. Plus, 85–88% of the collection is currently made from recycled fabrics, with a final goal to be 100% recyclable or sustainable by 2022. 

The collection is now available to buy here and currently ships to 17 countries. Keep scrolling to start shopping…
