I'm inspired. Sorry, jeans—for autumn/winter 2026, balloon trousers are shaping up to be the season’s chicest silhouette. Case in point: Julia Roberts , who stepped out in Paris pairing trainers with the voluminous, anti-jeans trend that's gaining momentum right now. Offering a fresh alternative to straight-leg denim , balloon trousers are defined by their curved silhouette, bringing shape and dim

On any given day in Hampstead, you might find a version of British actress Mandeep Dhillon walking around in what she cleverly describes as her "baggy and swaggy" attire. There's also a version of the 35-year-old where her look is chic and understated, "cool and expensive." But perhaps her favorite fashion persona is playing Seraphina Harrigan on the Paramount+ series MobLand . As the daughter of

Consider this your go-to fall shopping list. There’s something about fall shopping that always feels particularly exciting. Maybe it’s the return of layers or the fact that getting dressed suddenly requires a little more thought, but this is the time of year when a few great additions can completely refresh a wardrobe . And after scrolling through more new arrivals than anyone reasonably should, t

Step-by-step. Honestly, I don't think I've ever come across a leggings-at-the-airport outfit as chic as this shot of Bella Hadid that I just stumbled across. Already saved to my travel-outfit moodboard : Bella arrived at the airport making leggings look better than I've ever seen them. As is often the case, her elevated ensemble came down to a few thoughtful styling choices. Let's start with the c

Wait, this jacket looks so expensive. My mom routinely asks me for lists of coveted items I spot while doing market research. This comes with the territory as a shopping director. While she doesn't always buy what I find, she enjoys seeing what's new and cool for the season. This time around, though, she did want to add a few fresh pieces to her wardrobe. Nordstrom is always the go-to , so I pulle

A look good enough to wear on repeat. Just ask Laura Harrier. There are two things I know for sure: Outfit repeating is new wear it once and never again, and donning a silk robe coat with capri pants is the ultimate It-girl indicator for fall and winter this year. Want to know how I know? Laura Harrier just checked off both boxes, re-wearing her exact Conner Ives robe coat and capri pants outfit t

A fashion editor's favourite. When it comes to discussing the biggest jacket trends of 2026, there is one sophisticated style having a very important moment: the stand collar jacket. Balancing enduring design with a modern update, this sculptural piece has been quietly replacing trench coats , blazers and barn jackets in the wardrobes of editors and influencers alike, and switching up how we want

It's more than a Highland fling. Now that we've made it over the proverbial hump and fully transitioned into autumn, I'm ready to lean into the best autumn fashion with great gusto. Linen and sandals? To the back of the wardrobe! The next few months are all about cosy, layered outfits that look just as good on the commute as they do for a staycation in the countryside, and one piece in particular

From aubergine to plum. I'm not sure about you, but personally, I find there’s something particularly appealing about dark purple at this time of year. As summer starts to fade and my autumn wardrobe comes into focus, I find myself drawn to shades that feel richer and more considered, without going all the way into the dark, dramatic palette of winter, and the same can be said for my nail colour .

Fastest fingers first. If you've read any of my articles for Who What Wear before (I've certainly written a lot of them over the last six years), you'll know by now that my favourite fashion finds are the ones that look incredibly expensive, with price tags that say otherwise. Right now, M&S just cannot be beaten when it comes to securing such pieces. In fact, the new season fashion at the UK's fa

Lots of chic sweater options. Attention all J.Crew Passport members (myself included): save 30% on your purchase through October 12 with the J.Crew Friends and Family Event . The free rewards program can save you $671 on a new fall wardrobe: barn jackets , cashmere V-necks, wide-leg jeans, and even satin trousers (a trend only the finest dresses are styling this season with chunky knits and white

Including the color of the season. Fall 2026 is making a persuasive case for getting dressed with a little more intention. This season, fashion feels less interested in the fleeting trends and more invested in the pieces, textures, colors, and silhouettes that make a wardrobe feel personal, collected, and, yes, a little bit grand. Across the runways, opulent textiles bring floral jacquard and tape

Bookmark me for later! There are London hotels you check into, and then there are the ones you wish you could move into. 45 Park Lane, the sleek sister hotel to another Who What Wear UK favourite, The Dorchester, falls firmly into the latter category. Overlooking Hyde Park in the heart of Mayfair, it has everything you want from a luxury London stay: impeccable service, seriously good interiors, a

See the proof inside. There’s nothing wrong with relying on the same basics year after year. In fact, the pieces that get the most wear— jeans, T-shirts, sweaters, and trench coats —are usually the ones worth holding onto. But this fall, the fashion crowd is proving that making an outfit feel current has less to do with buying an entirely new wardrobe and more to do with rethinking how those famil

Time for an upgrade. Tiffany Reid is a Who What Wear editor in residence, fashion executive, freelance stylist, and brand consultant who most recently served as the senior vice president of fashion for Bustle Digital Group. She recently launched a YouTube series, Tried + True , in which she walks viewers through the latest trends. Early this summer, we decided to retire our son's nursery and trans

I can confirm. Whilst straight-leg jeans have certainly earned their place in your denim drawer, I implore you to look beyond them when styling boots this season. Taking my inspiration from Florence Pugh , I spotted the actor stepping out this week in an ankle-boots-and-jeans combination that felt far more elevated than any straight-leg jeans and boots combo I've thrown together for some time. Spo

Bring on the chill. Whilst the current weather forecast calls for a cashmere knit and jacket at 9am and practically a bikini come 1pm, getting dressed feels particularly tricky right now. One thing, however, is certain: winter is only a matter of weeks away. And, naturally, H&M has already nailed the chic cold-weather trends set to dominate the season. From sumptuous V-neck wool and cashmere knits

If you're looking to get ahead on your winter wardrobe , can I make a suggestion? Inspired by one of the chicest over-50s on my feed, Tracee Ellis Ross , I'll be stepping away from my jeans drawer as we head towards November and working checked trousers into my winter rotation instead. There's something inherently wintery about the rich checks of Tracee's trousers. Perhaps it's their association w

They really work. I forgive friends and family when they ask me to recommend "a good collagen eye cream ". We're often told that collagen is the structure that keeps our skin looking plump and firm, and it is. But applying collagen topically in your skincare routine isn't actually the right port of call to replace or maintain collagen, especially if you're looking to address wrinkles , under-eye h

Here's how to get the look. The Autumn/Winter 2026 runways have spoken—the cashmere makeup trend spotted on the catwalks of all the most popular luxury fashion houses is about to dominate autumn and winter 2026. And a number of professional makeup artists have already hopped on the trend, showcasing the most beautiful cashmere looks on the chicest celebs. Personally, after a long summer where the
