These are easy photos to find on the Web-Of Africans looking like savage and barbaric-like, next to their masters clad in Bush boots, safari hats, smoking pipes and carrying a cane, with one-eyed glass for effective measure… Us, our backs bent, practically naked and having on our back the Master’s whole load.

18 Designer Items Our Editors Think Are Worth the Splurge
As editors, we’re always eager to give a good shopping recommendation, and this time is no different. In this episode of the things Who What Wear editors are loving, the topic is designer investments. With fashion’s spring collections finally hitting stores, it can feel a bit overwhelming with so many new styles competing for the spotlight. It’s easy to get caught up in the allure of an It-piece making the rounds on social media, but at the end of the day is it really worth the splurge?
Today, we’re highlighting the seasonal luxury items our editors would actually shell out big bucks for. The decision to buy something pricey isn’t one we take lightly either–there’s always a level of practicality that goes into whether we think a designer piece is truly worth it or not.

Care Routines
When you laugh, cry or show any emotion you activate the muscles in your face. Kapha skin is more prone to clogging and needs more cleansing than other skin types. Be careful to avoid greasy, clogging creams. Likewise, avoid heavy, hard to digest foods like fried foods, fatty meats, cheeses and rich desserts. Eat more light, easy to digest, astringent, bitter and pungent (well-spiced) foods as they balance kapha. Olive oil is the best cooking oil and a little ginger and lime juice can be taken before meals to increase your characteristically sluggish digestive fire. Take warm baths often and use gentle cleansers to open the skin pores. Avoid getting constipated and try to get some exercise every day to increase circulation and help purify the skin through the sweating process. Although everyone in Wales speaks English, over half a million people speak Welsh. Cymraeg, the welsh word for the … Read the rest

Whether it’s the trending denim of the moment or the season’s It print, we hope to inspire your daily outfits and up the cost per wear on some of our favorite items.
Since wearing face masks on a daily basis became the new normal, we’ve been reconsidering our makeup routines. (Sorry lipsticks, but you won’t be seeing the light of day for a while.) Last month, we asked a celebrity makeup artist how to enhance our eyes since they’re essentially the only part of our face visible while using a mask. Her tips included swiping on two shades of mascara, elongating the brows, and using a lightweight under-eye concealer. Now we’re taking things up a notch with something fun for … Read the rest

A White T-Shirt Is My Holy Grail of Basics–Here are The Styles I Wear The Most
Minimalism isn’t necessarily a term I’d use to describe my style, however, for all my love of dramatic trends I can never turn down quality basics. A steady arsenal of reliable wardrobe staples just makes getting dressed that much easier, and once I find ones that I love I make sure to stock up in multiples. Easily the basic I sartorially lean on the most is a simple white t-shirt. It’s a big part of my daily spring uniform of jeans and a blazer, but of course, it’s also handy for layering underneath the multitude of sweater vests and cardigans I own.
I get so many questions asking which white t-shirts rise above the others, and today, I’m laying out the brands and styles that have carved out a permanent place in my closet. While there are so many shapes and necklines to choose from–boxy to form-fitting, and v-neck to … Read the rest
