Month: October 2019

If you can believe it, this fashion editor of 5 years is, in fact, quite picky and won’t just wear or buy anything she sees—and, in case it’s not coming through on the internet, that was sarcasm. Of course, I’m picky! I’m obsessed with clothes, shoes, and accessories and look at them on the internet every single day both for my personal gain and for my job. If I wasn’t highly selective, I would be not only be shopping way too much, but also, I would definitely not be as effective in curating only the best picks for you guys, our readers.

So, where am I directing my discerning eye today? Fall dresses. Admittedly, aside from party-ready styles I’m not that much of a dress girl myself, but I think that’s only made me even better at picking them out. After all, if I’m willing to trade in my jeans for it, then it’s got to be really good. So, from casual to cocktail, see and shop my favorite frocks for the season ahead below.   

Up next: street style has spoken—this is fashion’s next It-bag.

We all know that coat. Yes, I’m clearly talking about the runaway Amazon hit New York magazine initially wrote about in an article detailing “The Unlikely Tale of a $140 Amazon Coat That’s Taken Over the Upper East Side.” Since the release of this viral piece, you’d be hard-pressed not to spot the affordable yet directional Orolay stunner on somebody in your city (whether that be in NYC or not).

While the coat nearly sold out last season, the puffer is back in stock. So if you didn’t add it to your cart the first go around, now is your chance before winter really hits. But interestingly, there are also a few other under-$150 jackets on Amazon—some also made by Orolay—that are definitely worth a test as well to bring an elevated spin to your cold-weather game. Ahead, we rounded up a range of these styles, along with an edit of other fashionable pea coats, bombers, and more.

Keep scrolling to shop our favorite cheap coats on Amazon—but you better act fast and snag your favorite before everyone else does.

Here at Who What Wear, we make it our mission to uncover the best designer shoes from emerging talent and heritage brands alike. We’re constantly refreshing our new arrivals tabs and scrolling through our Instagram feeds in search of the latest pairs to hit the fashion world, all so we can share our findings with you here. But apart from surfing sites like Net-a-Porter, Moda Operandi, and Farfetch on our own, we’re also looking to the celebrity street style scene to inform us of the latest designer shoes to look at, talk about, and maybe even add to cart.

At the risk of jumping the gun on the best shoes of 2019, we’re sharing the most epic shoes our favorite celebs have worn so far this year. Looking back on the last several months, we came across the It shoes that chic women like Rihanna, Chrissy Teigen, and Victoria Beckham have styled to perfection. The following 11 designer shoes are epic all on their own but worn by these A-listers, they’re truly next-level. Keep reading to see and then shop the best designer heels, boots, sandals, and slides.

Ankle boots are kind of our thing. Right now, we have chunky-soled Chelsea boots firmly on our minds, and luckily we just found a brand that covers all the requirements (read: cool, practical, comfortable, and ideally under $200). Blundstone, a Tasmanian boot brand that’s been around since 1870, is a staple in Aussie girls’ wardrobes, and it’s officially becoming a mainstay in ours as well. Fun fact: Tasmania is a small island off the coast of Australia, so these shoes have a very authentic feel to them. We’re talking quality leather, an array of colors, and super-on-trend silhouettes. Whether you find yourself in SoHo or Silver Lake (or somewhere in between), a chunky Chelsea boot is the perfect way to incorporate the utility trend into your wardrobe for fall. See our favorite styles here.

We’ve looked to a variety of different experts for advice this season, from TSA agents to celebrity stylists. But for the more astrologically inclined, how about some fall trend pointers from an astrologer? Natalia Benson used to do our horoscopes for Who What Wear last year, so I thought she’d be the perfect person to tap about fall shopping advice for Libras, including yours truly.

As you know, we officially entered Libra season on September 23 and it extends to October 23. Whether you’re a fellow Libra or would like to tap into Libra’s qualities of harmony and balance, scroll down to read Benson’s brilliant advice for fall shopping according to the sign.

“Olive green keeps coming up for me intuitively right now,” Benson said. When she mentioned this, I immediately googled the color and found that it can represent peace through compassion, which made her intuition make a lot of sense. “Peace through compassion is totally Libra,” Benson said after I told her what I found. “That whole energy taps into a major Libra theme: harmony. When there is a lot of planetary concentration in one sign, it’s an exalted time for the sign while the rest of us should try to tap into Libra qualities.”

“With jewelry, you can celebrate the Venusian quality moving through the sign by stepping it up with some pizzazz and statement pieces,” Benson said.” Venus has goddess energy, so lean into ornamentation, dressing up, and extra vibes when it comes to accessories. Add some bright, gorgeous energy.” 

“There are a lot of planets in Libra right now, so there is a lot of energy in your sign,” Benson told me. “The sun, Venus, Mars, and Mercury are all moving through Libra right now. I would say it’s an active time; there is a lot of movement and forward motion. For shoes, I would invest in running shoes and sneakers that are comfortable and practical because there’s a lot to do right now.” 

“Libras should look for all kinds of adornment. I just saw an Instagram by Justine Marjan with pearl hair accessories. Look for maybe pearls, gold, big barrettes, and statement pieces for your hair.” 

“This is your time to express yourself,” Benson said. “It’s your time to shine. I’m feeling something silky, luxe, high-end, and good quality, like a silk jacket. Look for something durable that could last all season but still has a feminine touch to add balance, which is central to Libras.”
