Kendall Jenner Just Wore the Coolest Olsen-Inspired Summer Outfit
Re-entry dressing can be difficult to get right after months of living in jogging bottoms and hoodies. You want to be a little more put-together and start having fun getting dressed properly again, however, with restrictions still in place, we also need our outfits to still be practical and comfortable. We’re not quite at the “roaring 20s head-to-toe sequins” stage just yet. Kendall Jenner has been out and about in New York over the past week and wore three outfits that ticked all of these boxes. Each time, she wore a pair of trousers and a T-shirt, but she styled them in slightly different, interesting ways. The standout outfit by far is her oversized white shirt paired with relaxed beige trousers cinched with a classic black leather belt. The reason why itR...
2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Plug-In Hybrid First Drive: Electrifying and Stupefying
Jeep Wrangler Full Overview A Jeep Wrangler with a plug and an electric motor is finally here. The Wrangler 4xe—pronounced “four-by-e,” like “four-by-four”—mixes a battery, electric motor, and turbocharged gas I-4 engine to deliver up to 49 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) and 21 miles of electric-only driving range. These plug-in hybrid specs likely are as foreign to the off-roaders and sun-lovers who typically shop Wranglers as the usual Wrangler figures covering ground clearance, breakover angles, and water fording depth are to everyone else. In theory, plug-in hybrids combine the most useful elements of electric and gas vehicles, offering silent, engine-off motoring for shorter commutes and cross-country travel fueled by readily available gasoline. Their real-...
2021 Hyundai Veloster N DCT First Test: Somehow Even Better
Hyundai Veloster Full Overview What’s new for 2021? Although the Veloster N has only been on sale since the 2019 model year, the changes for 2021 are fairly significant. Aside from the new eight-speed automatic (effectively a $1,500 option) joining the standard six-speed manual transmission, there’s a power boost for 2021. Starting this year, the Performance Package that was available on 2019 and 2020 Veloster Ns becomes standard. This not only boosts the 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4’s power from 250 hp to 275 hp (torque remains flat at 260 lb-ft), but it also includes a limited-slip differential, electronically-adjustable dampers, bigger brakes with better cooling capacity, an active exhaust system, and stickier summer tires on 19-inch wheels. Other changes include new per...
12 Items Monikh Will Always Have in Her Wardrobe
Monikh will likely need no introduction to loyal Who What Wear readers, as she has been a shopping columnist for us for several years and every month shares her must-have buys via her column, Trust Monikh. The London-based styling and shopping guru has impressive fashion knowledge, however, her philosophy (much like ours here at Who What Wear) is all about making smart investments that sit within your own personal style.

When it comes to her own wardrobe, you only need a quick scroll of her Instagram feed to realise that she has nailed her capsule wardrobe and relies on a roster of hardworking staples. “Firstly figure out what your sty...

These Products Are So Good They’ve Earned a Place In This Beauty Hall of Fame
There’s no denying that beauty is an incredible fast-moving industry and with a buzzy new launch or celebrity-approved product seemingly going viral every day even I struggle to keep up with what’s trending right now. However, I make sure to regularly test and trial the newest cult beauty products because I always want to know if they’re genuinely worth they hype. The result? I have an overflowing makeup bag and struggle to close the doors of my bathroom cupboard on a regular basis. Yes, at this point, I’d hazard a guess that I’ve tested hundreds of apparent cult beauty products with mixed results: some are total flops which make a quick exit from my beauty stash while others take up permanent residence in my regular rotation. However, when I’m shopping for cult beauty produ...
The 5 Items Our Editors Have on Their Summer 2021 Wish Lists
When you’re blessed with having a job that means you spend at least part of your time shopping for a living, you see a lot of stuff. However, our jobs as editors working for a fashion website mean that we often spend time working out what is and what isn’t worth your cash. Right now, that feels more important to get right, what with budgets being tighter and customers wanting pieces that work harder for them—essentially longer-lasting items that still nod to trends but aren’t defined by them. There’s no denying that it can be a tricky couple of criteria to fill. But, as I already mentioned, as fashion insiders this is what we do. For this month, I asked several of our editors what’s on their shopping lists for summer. While it’s still pretty brisk ...
The Auto Industry and EVs: Where We Are and What’s Coming Next, After Years of Crying Wolf?
A showroom of affordable (and profitable) electric vehicles in all shapes and sizes has long been the holy grail for automakers and regulators alike. It is a long-standing dance that has gone on for nearly 50 years: Regulators set ambitious emission-reduction targets with long lead times, the established automakers cry, “Impossible!” then hunker down and either work to defang the mandates or occasionally hit the targets, sometimes ahead of schedule. Solutions to date have been a mix of improving the efficiency of the gas-powered fleet, adding hybrids, and developing a few token electric vehicles to be sold at a loss to the few buyers who want them. Lather, rinse, repeat. Automakers have attempted to lure the public into electric vehicles but made little headway. Part of it is c...
The Wild Ways GM’s Getting the Lyriq and Hummer EV to Market so Quickly
Reservations for the $59,990 2023 Cadillac Lyriq will begin in September. Meanwhile, deliveries of the vehicle are set for the first quarter of 2022. The original timeline saw the Lyriq going on sale at the end of 2022. How did GM pull this off? Credit a mix of cost-cutting necessity, a need for speed, the flexibility of a new electric vehicle architecture, and the realization that greater reliance on virtual tools can get the job done. See all 17 photos We first heard about the new approach from engineers working on the 2022 GMC Hummer EV full-size pickup. The team lopped about two years off that vehicle’s development time to meet a production target of fall 2021. Engineers were using simulations to drive and even jump Hummers in the virtual world before they ever got behind the whe...
Volkswagen’s Newest Desert Racer Is an … ID4 Electric SUV?
But that isn’t going to stop Tanner Foust from getting behind the wheel and Rhys Millen Racing from prepping the ID4 for the NORRA Mexican 1,000 that’s set to take place from April 25-29. But the ID4 won’t get very far in the race without a little help from Millen and his team. While the 82 kWh battery pack and the single electric motor on the rear axel will be left unchanged, there is some serious work being done to the rest of the SUV. For starters, rally-style coilovers will replace the stock suspension setup and the SUV gets new control arms up front and new boxed lower links at the rear—the result is a 2-inch lift and presumably more articulation. The radiator was moved higher up for better cooling and better approach angles, and 3/8-inch steel skid plates ...
Verboten Vezel: Honda’s Global HR-V Replacement Gets Mugen Upgrades
Mugen is once again massaging one of Honda’s latest offerings—this time the global version of the Vezel model, known in the U.S. as the HR-V. If this mainstream subcompact crossover sounds like an odd object of desire for a longtime Honda tuner, Mugen went ahead and gussied up the low-power people mover anyway. American enthusiasts haven’t been sold on the HR-V, which essentially serves as the replacement for Honda’s beloved Fit hatchback in the U.S., so maybe it’s for the best that this new Vezel won’t translate directly to the next-gen HR-V due here soon. The redesigned HR-V will be U.S.-specific, but what that means exactly is unclear. Whether or not it will resemble the global version or share enough mechanically to allow any of these new Mugen g...
These High-Street Pieces Make for Happy Scrolling This Summer
I can’t quite believe it’s been a year since April 2020, and to be honest, I’m not entirely sure what I’ve done with the last 12 months of my life—mostly watching Netflix and exacting the perfect ratio of milk to oats in my morning porridge. But anyway, here we are, teetering on the edge of summer 2021, and so begins another season of searching for the perfect slouchy-yet-smart linen trousers and working out which sandal tribe we’ll be joining for the coming months. I’m going to try and be as disciplined as I can this season and focus on what’s already in my wardrobe and rework old favourites, but it’s always helpful to scroll through the new-in sections to get inspiration about what colours or silhouet...
