There are certain wardrobe staples that will never, and I mean never, go out of style no matter how many trends may come and go. Among them are vintage jeans, black ankle boots, leather jackets, and yes, black sweaters. As a connoisseur of black sweaters myself, I truly couldn’t imagine my wardrobe without at least several of them. They go with so many different outfits, whether it’s a simple turtleneck and jeans combo or a cardigan…
Gym Acne: 1. Me: 0. Well, at least for a while. This past summer, I developed a daily habit of working out an hour or more a day. My newfound workout routine not only came with a renewed sense of energy after months of staying inside, but also with a battle with body acne that populated on my back, shoulders, and chest. I started using a body wash formulated with…
Meal prepping is one of the easiest ways to stick to eating healthy throughout the week. We’ve all been there — once you’re working late and get home ravenous, the chances of just getting take-out become close t0 100%. When you’re ready with healthy meals in the fridge, it makes the week easier, healthier, and probably cheaper. But, eating a meal-prepped salad every day can be torturous. Luckily, eating healthy doesn’t…
Whenever I think about my identity, one of the characteristics that always pop up first is “plus-size.” That’s not necessarily a bad thing—I’m used to describing myself as such when looking for clothes, posting on Instagram, or talking about body positivity. I’m so used to being a plus-size woman, it’s become engrained in my daily routines and conversations. The only time I do cringe about being plus-size? When I’m talking…
The months after the holidays mean exactly three things to me: 1. attempting to keep my New Year’s resolutions, 2. staying at home with the fireplace on (I don’t do cold weather well), and 3. a J.Crew shopping spree. Maybe it’s because I get bad post-holidays blues and retail therapy helps, or maybe it’s because no one does cashmere like J.Crew. Either way, I scour the website every January, debating…
If you’re reading this, you’re probably a fan of Shopbop (and honestly, who isn’t?). I, for one, am a big one. One of the many things I love about it is how often new arrivals are added. But if you don’t check the site regularly, you may be overwhelmed by the amount of fresh pieces to choose from, so I’m here to offer my assistance, as I’m on Shopbop a good bit more…
So far, 2021 is looking a lot like 2020, which is actually not so bad because we’re all pretty used to sheltering in place and making the most out of this new normal. My goal for the new year, though, is to fill my closet with fresh pieces that’ll actually inspire me to get dressed in the mornings. Even if I’m just donning a matching sweatsuit, the days when I…
Can’t stop thinking about pizza and ice cream all day long or is it chocolate and red velvet cheesecake? Whatever it is, a lot of people who sincerely want to lose weight complain that they cannot stop thinking about food. Daily stressors, boredom are just some factors that can make you turn towards food to find temporary comfort and cope with the stress. However, the continuous preoccupation with unhealthy food…
If you ask me, mauve is probably one of the most deeply misunderstood colors just in life, but especially so as it pertains to nail polish. Like puce (which is actually a dark purple-brown-red situation), glaucous (a powdery blue-gray), wenge (an earthy wooden brown), and plenty more, mauve really gets the short end of the stick where potential is concerned, and it sounds a lots less divine than it actually is….
When I was growing up, there was one divisive dressing choice that was often considered an “outfit mistake”—wearing socks with sandals. It’s to note that wearing white socks with black dress shoes was also considered a “no” for many, although I love that vibe now. And the same goes for socks and sandals. While some may not be as into the look, I think the silhouette is quite chic. I also…
Not everyone is born with luscious and dense lashes, but a majority of women love to flaunt longer, thicker, and denser eyelashes and that’s where a nice tube of mascara plays an important part. Thicker eyelashes open up the eyes and can enhance the beauty of the eyes, however, if you haven’t been blessed naturally with a set of eyelashes, here’s a list of best homemade eyelash gels for beautiful…
There are plenty of color trends that make it on our radar, but there’s one that is drumming up a lot of excitement among the Who What Wear editors: bubblegum pink. The color trend was spotted everywhere on the S/S 21 runways and has already entered the wardrobes of the fashion set, so we’re predicting that it will be the defining shade of the upcoming season. It’s definitely a departure…
In the course of history, 100 years isn’t a particularly long time. But in the course of fashion history, it’s the difference between trying to get around in a bone-cinching girdle and ankle-length skirt and easing into the Nike leggings and Vans sneakers you’re probably wearing today. In the intervening years, there have been major shifts in technology, politics, culture, and social norms, and fashion has reflected that in its ever-changing cycle of…
Anyone who spends a lot of time with me knows that I’m not one to really switch up my style. Not only do I like to wear versions of the same thing—jeans and a tee—nearly every day, but my tendencies fall on the simpler side, with basics making up the bulk of my wardrobe and statement pieces earning more of a small, supporting role. This is why, whether I retire a…
Every season, new handbag trends make their way into the street style world, and each season, we eagerly scout said accessories. Right now, it’s the super-tiny purses that seem too small to hold even a tube of lipstick and those incredibly unique styles sure to liven up your look in an instant that are reigning supreme. They’re fashion-forward and have a serious street style star backing. Sometimes, though, it’s the classic designer…
Of all the ways you can show yourself some extra love, nothing feels quite as good as buying yourself some pretty underpinnings. After all, there’s something to be said about putting on pretty lingerie that makes you feel happier and ultimately more confident. Want to really treat yourself? Opt for pieces from your favorite luxury lingerie brands, and you’ll feel as if you’re dressed in the best—even if it’s hidden underneath…
While skinny jeans will never actually be out of style, there are a range of fresh, non-skinny silhouettes that continue to rise in popularity. Yep, we’re talking about styles like flared denim but also a recent favorite amongst the fashion and celeb world: full-length denim. This cut is in a straight fit, typically comes in a lighter wash, and bunches just slightly on top of the shoes. You may remember…
Over the years, we’ve seen a number of denim trends come and go and then come back again. In the past year alone, both wide-leg denim and mom jeans have re-reigned supreme (and despite our best efforts to keep them in the past, low-rise cuts are still a thing). Now, we’re seeing another old-school favorite come back from the dead—boot-cut jeans. During a time where tube tops and chokers were literally…
