If you’ve spent any time on TikTok this summer, you’ve probably come across the viral latte makeup trend. This beauty trend took the internet by storm, inspiring thousands of people to create their own versions and making it impossible to miss. As the name implies, it involves various shades of bronze and brown tones to create a soft, sun-kissed makeup look. Although I’ve yet to jump on the trend in my beauty routine, it has made me quite smitten with these rich hues. Since I’m more of a fashion person than a makeup person, I’ve decided to apply this color palette to my fall wardrobe instead.
Shades of rich caramels and deep mochas make for the ideal fall color palette, so I’ve been on the hunt for the best pieces from all the new arrivals at the top of this season. From chocolate-brown loafers to camel knits and coffee-colored coats, the new fall collections are full of gorgeous pieces in this color scheme. Below, I’m highlighting the best neutral items for fall in case you’d also like to get in on my newly created latte fashion trend.
Usually, when you think of Venice Film Festival fashion, casual airport looks aren’t the ones that stand out. Rather, the outfits that typically end up being the most memorable are the off-the-runway ensembles that celebrities wear while riding up to the red carpet on chic mahogany boats, outfits from labels like Prada, Chanel, Dior, and more. Yet those same celebs need to arrive and depart Venice somehow—and in something—making their travel looks just as worthy a topic to discuss this time of year.
While many A-listers prefer to risk it at the airport in clothes and footwear destined to make TSA squirm (I’m looking at you, Amal Clooney), Sydney Sweeney isn’t one of them. Following a glamorous week in Venice that involved Giorgio Armani’s One Night Only runway show and Miu Miu’s Women’s Tales premiere, the Euphoria actress waved goodbye to the Italian city in a black sweatsuit and white Miu Miu sneakers with no inconvenient laces in sight. Instead, Sweeney’s choice of airport footwear only closed with Velcro straps, a design technique that, according to airport security, is elite for getting through the line without a single problem or delay in sight.

You probably know by now that a fragrance can really set the scene or give off a certain vibe. That’s especially true with perfumes. The fragrance you choose can dictate what kind of aura you want to put across. So do you want to feel carefree and flirty? Maybe you want to go for something that’s fruity or citrusy. Want to give off a traditionalfloral vibe? Or maybe your goal is to feel incredibly sexy. Well, for that I’d recommend something spicy. It’s all about matching the fragrance to your mood.
So in fall and winter, I tend to gravitate toward fragrances that are cozy and warm. I want to feel like I’m wrapped up in a snug blanket. And it turns out I’m not alone—my Who What Wear colleagues are fans of the warm-perfume trend, too.
If you’ve been keeping tabs on me, you know I’ve long written about my newfound love for Madewell. After Joyce Lee became the Creative Director of the brand earlier this year, I’ve fallen in love with nearly everything the Madewell has put out this year—much to the behest of my credit card bill. (Whoops.)
After pining over the brand’s latest fall collection and their everyday assortment of chic basics, I’ve stumbled upon my latest obsession that the retailer is promising to transform my life with: their footwear. After ordering a few pairs for myself both in-store and online, I was pleasantly shocked at how high-quality they were— not an easy feat, given I’m particularly picky about my shoes and sizing on them.
Even though Madewell is known for their incredibly jeans and cozy knits, their fall shoe section is where it’s at. To prove it, I spent three hours searching through every style available on their site and rounding up the top 20 you needed to see, like, yesterday. Below, shop the best Madewell shoes, including some cant-miss fall deals and on-trend silhouettes.
If you thought Miu Miu’s ballet flats were good, just wait until you see the brand’s grungy new boots that emerged during the previous Paris Fashion Week season. Miu Miu’s much-talked-about F/W 22 collection featured the engineer-style boots are the complete and utter opposite of the dainty, pretty flats that hit viral status immediately following last season’s show in February. Made of thick, distressed leather (classic engineer boots are known for this since the material is so durable) and adorned with an array of metal harnesses and buckles, Miu Miu’s boots have quickly become fashion’s next It item.
But Prada’s little-sister brand isn’t the only one getting in on this trend. On the contrary, leather-shoe brands like Frye have long been known for their engineer boots. Others like Jeffrey Campbell, Steve Madden, and Vagabond are, too, making engineer boots a cornerstone of their fall offerings. And they’re unlikely to be the last. Ahead of their full-blown takeover, scroll down to shop the coolest engineer boots on the market right now.
Silhouettes that cinch at the waist have been gaining momentum this summer—but it was the the fall/winter 2023 runways that truly cemented the trend. From Gigi Hadid’s black Versace skirt suit with its strong shoulders and moulded hourglass waist, to the chunky belts nipping in waists at Max Mara, Alaïa, Carolina Herrera, and Schiaparelli—the messaging stood clear—this is the year to embrace the waist.
On the back of a long bout of comfort dressing, we’ve seen a gradual move from the slouchy loungewear of lockdown and a return to more tailored styles. Today’s cinched waist silhouettes are feminine and powerful—more dramatic than dainty, and come in a whole variety of iterations that women of all body shapes can feel confident in. In fact, there are plenty of graduations to the silhouette—many of this season’s styles sculpt the waist in a soft, relaxed way that feels unintimidating and ultra-wearable.
If you’re inspired by this season’s cinched waist trend, then take a peek below at plenty of outfit inspiration from the runways to street style, then shop some of our favorite wearable cinched waist styles out there right now—from knit tops to sharp blazers, and hourglass dresses—there’s something for every taste and budget.
It’s no secret, we’re big fans of J.Crew here at Who What Wear. Yes, myself included. Olympia Gayot‘s direction at the helm of womenswear is absolutely divine. This week I was perusing their new fall arrivals and I couldn’t get over how shockingly chic the collection is this season! From luxe-looking knit jackets to standout dresses, I bookmarked a handful of the coolest new-season pieces that I have been sharing with everyone I know, and I am compelled to share with you today!

You can’t deny the power of the perfect pair of black ankle boots. But we don’t really need to go on and on about how they’re a staple—you already know the drill. Over the last few seasons, though, white booties have been creeping up as a must-have shoe silhouette. While they were considered the It trend of last fall and winter, the fashion elite is proving that the style isn’t going away anytime soon.
One of the biggest reasons? Well, as with black, white’s neutral, so these booties can technically go with just about anything in your wardrobe. Plus, they make any ensemble feel forward and special. Ahead, we’re highlighting how nine fashion girls are wearing white booties now to inspire new outfit ideas. We also rounded up a slew of styles we’re loving if you’re looking to refresh your current go-to pair or jump on the trend once and for all.

I’ve been caught in an NYC storm without a proper raincoat or an umbrella too many times, and I’ll never be making that mistake again. As much as I wish I could stay home every time there’s a rainy day, my schedule says otherwise. I’ve learned my lesson— Whether it’s a slight drizzle in the spring or a heavy cold rainy night in the winter, it’s important to have a reliable raincoat in your closet. I’ve finally secured my search for the right raincoat, and I’m sharing the recommendations with you.
Although it’s an essential item, I found that there weren’t a ton of stylish options available for a quick search. After doing a deep dive, I rounded up ten of the best to shop in different categories and price points. You’ll find the perfect lightweight trenchcoat to wear to work, or the heavy-duty jacket to pack on that outdoor weekend trip. Keep scrolling to find your pick of my favorite raincoats on the market.
When I was a kid, I wanted to dress like my stylish aunts, but I was so finicky about my clothes. They had to be breathable and stretchy enough so I could swing on the monkey bars and fly on the swings at recess, but even at a young age, I wanted to feel stylish in my favorite colors and patterns. If only Posh Peanut existed back then, it would have been my—and my mom’s—saving grace. The celeb- and influencer-approved brand has the most adorable kids’ clothes in a rainbow of colors and endless prints that make for the best outfit combinations. (Psst: It also drops brand-new prints and styles weekly. No, I’m not kidding!) The clothes are super comfy, too—they’re made from a buttery-soft bamboo-derived fabric. And since the brand carries preemie through adult sizes, there are countless matching opportunities (read: cute photo opps) for the whole family. If you’re a parent or a cool aunt or uncle, keep scrolling to see the trendy pieces for the kid in your life (plus a few bonus pieces for yourself).
Summer may be winding down, but that won’t stop celebrities from posting about their enviable warm-weather vacations. One, in particular, has a special meaning: Claudia Schiffer just celebrated her 53rd birthday with a trip to Greece. Naturally, a bikini photo ensued—and can you really blame her? The supermodel wore a colorful, cheerful Dolce & Gabbana swimsuit that will have you clinging on to summer for dear life.
You might have noticed that our recent stories have been geared toward fall fashion, but this one’s for all of you summer holdouts who can’t seem to say goodbye to warm weather. Scroll down to shop Claudia Schiffer’s cute swimsuit as well as similar options.
After a particularly difficult shopping session at a budget-friendly shoe retailer when I was 13 years old, my mom told me that Paris Hilton had to custom-make some of her shoes because of her size 11 feet—the same size that I detested having.
I was just starting my last year of middle school, and unlike the rest of my friends who could waltz into any beloved tween retailer at the mall, my only option was sneaking to the back of a Payless to stare at the rack of “size 10 and over” options. Usually, none of them enticed me. Every limited option was too big, too small, or too grandma-like for a temperamental eighth-grader. While I’d usually find something to make work (or squeeze into), my somewhat hilarious shoe-shopping trauma has taken me years to unpack. Although I’m a fashion editor who lives for my clothes, my shoes are another story—often bought from the same retailers over and over in different colors. If only we could all be like Hilton and have shoes custom-made to the size of our honkers. As she’d say, that’s hot.
Over the years, I’ve compiled a long list of shoe brands I trust to deliver the perfect fit without making me look 10 times my age. At 24, I don’t think anyone would be shocked to learn that I, in fact, am not interested in size 11 shoes that consist of clunky orthopedic-esque silhouettes. Thankfully, after more than a decade of trial and error, I’ve come to find the perfect pairs for anyone who wears size 11 or size 42 EU shoes. Who knows—maybe Hilton even has some of these.
Below, shop trendy size 11 shoes I’ve worn and loved over the years as well as a few styles I have my eye on.
After spending the last year and a half working from home, I need some reminders about how to get dressed up again, so I’m relying on an office capsule wardrobe more than ever. In the mornings, I don’t like to spend time thinking about what I’m wearing. Instead of trying on endless outfits, I would rather spend my time sipping a morning latte, catching up on the news, and scrolling through the latest updates on my Instagram feed. To cut back on the time I’m spending deciding on what I’m wearing to the office, I’ve narrowed down my options to some key office essentials to develop an easy work capsule wardrobe.
Ahead, see the 18 pieces I rely on for my outfits to wear to the Who What Wear office. I will admit that these are pieces I wear to a fashion-centric work environment (that take the latest trends into mind), so they may not be suitable for every workplace, but you can tailor them to your particular workspace. Go on to see my outfits and shop the workwear staples I can’t live without.
While traveling to Copenhagen Fashion Week is definitely fun, it’s also work. Part of my job is to attend shows and take note of recurring themes that pop up on the runways. For the S/S 24 season, there was one trend in particular that was absolutely everywhere: long shorts. The list of brands that included long shorts in their shows is lengthy, but I’ll attempt to call out several: Gestuz, Baum und Pferdgarten, Kernemilk, Paolina Russo, Remain, Wood Wood, and The Garment. Is that enough to convince you of the trend’s staying power?
Stranger Things star Natalia Dyer is getting quite the headstart on spring 2024 trends, as she was just photographed wearing long shorts in New York City. I love the chill way she styled them: with a loose button-down shirt and loafers. It doesn’t get any easier than that. Scroll down to see Natalia Dyer’s new outfit and shop long shorts for yourself.
There are few brands that rival Chanel when it comes to buying an investment handbag. The classic flap bags are not just a timeless wardrobe staple, but they also increase in value over time. However, once you’ve made the decision to buy an investment Chanel bag, how do you know which one is right for you?
From the high price tag to the sheer number of styles available, the decision can be daunting enough to make even Choupette’s hairs stand on end. And as the French fashion house brings out new iterations of the classics, as well as exciting one-off pieces, it just makes us want to own one even more.
Of course, most would probably say they’d like to buy the classic Chanel 2.55 flap bag. The iconic piece was first created by Coco Chanel herself when she got fed up with carrying her bag in her arms. To free her hands, she decided to add straps, an idea she took from the soldier’s bag.
As with practically everything the iconic designer created, it was a revolutionary take on a classic item, as all handbags for women up until that point were carried. The 2.55 bag was launched in 1955, hence the name. However, it wasn’t until the ’80s, when Karl Lagerfeld took the helm, that the double-C locks were introduced.
I’m a huge fan of ’70s fashion. The era created a host of trends that still stand up today, whether you realize they’re from that time or not. Think of our current obsession with bright over-the-knee boots, folk-inspired printed dresses, velvet, corduroy, boho blouses, midi skirts, and so on. While the ’70s sweep over the runways every couple of seasons, there’s always a hint of it on the streets if you look closely.
Think of the iconic designer names that were indelibly marked into history during this decade, like Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, and Diane von Furstenberg. It was also a period where mass-market, trend-driven fashion was more readily available. Barbara Hulanicki’s Biba kick-started the idea in London a decade earlier alongside boutiques like Bus Stop, and cool, connected girls were able to switch up their looks more readily, which likely led to the 1001 aesthetics and key pieces that came out of this electric time.
I’m not exaggerating when I say I wear jeans almost every day. Okay, maybe not in 90 degree weather, but for most of the year, denim is part of my weekly outfit rotation, and throughout fall in particular, jeans become the foundation of my daily outfits. Who doesn’t love a jeans-boots-and cozy-sweater outfit formula?
Since jeans are an integral part of my daily dressing, I’m always mustering up ways to make them feel fresh and on-trend. In fact, there is a hefty saved folder on my Instagram aptly named “Cool Jeans Outfits” filled to the brim with chic denim styling ideas. Today I wanted to share a handful of these looks with you, in case you too are looking for some of-the-moment inspiration.
Take a peek below at a whole host of styling ideas to take your denim game up a notch this season.
Is it just us, or are high heels simply getting less play in our everyday outfits these days? If we’re putting our arches through it, we’ll usually go kitten heels or bust. In place of high heels, walkable flat shoes have become the cornerstone of our wardrobes. While there are loads of stylish options on the market, we love the idea of adding our Who What Wear point of view to the conversation. You may remember when we debuted our Sperry collaboration with a pair of all-weather boots last October. The chic rain/snow/sun stompers sold out quickly on Sperry’s site, and now, we’re back for a little more collaboration magic. But this time, we’re debuting two special styles: suede sneakers and leather mules. Let’s dive into the sneakers first with a peek at the design process and standout details.
Nothing marks the imminent arrival of fall quite like the first big ankle-boot drop of the season. And that is exactly what we are seeing right now. Just-in ankle boots are arriving at retailers, giving us an early look at the biggest trends to know for the season and the hottest silhouettes to have on your radar. Looking to the market, there are already some takeaways that are unequivocal.
Off the bat, it’s clear that motorcycle boots, sleek and minimalist lines, low kitten heels, and snakeskin finishes are winning out for fall 2023. So, which are worthy of a spot in your closet? To make your boot shopping seamless, I sifted through the extensive offerings on the market and narrowed in on the cool styles that make the cut. Ahead, shop my edit of the best ankle boots to add to your wardrobe this fall, from investment pieces to affordable finds.
As a Gen Z editor, my screen time would legitimately scare a Victorian-era child No, seriously. Nearly every day, I spend more hours than I care to admit mindlessly scrolling on Instagram and clocking trends while I’m in pursuit of the next thing to buy. I hate to admit it, but frankly, it’s my job to be on the hunt for the It items everyone is wearing. Now that fall is almost here and the fashion set is heading back home after photogenic vacations in Europe, the feed is open for business.
After one too many late nights on social media, I’ve noticed a few items I predict everyone is going to lust after come September. From runway-approved sweaters to fish-shaped leather bags that editors can’t stop wearing, scroll on below to discover the six fashion items that are set to go viral this year. Grab ’em now before they sell out because—trust me—they will.
