2022 Hyundai Tucson First Drive Review: Style, Space, and Serenity
Hyundai Tucson Full Overview The all-new 2022 Hyundai Tucson makes finding its central theme impossible: With its polarizing exterior styling, relaxing cabin, and unexpected driving character, this compact SUV embodies contrasts that somehow blend into a pleasantly cohesive whole. And the takeaway from that whole? If you work for Honda or Toyota, you might want to pay serious attention to the new Tucson. It’s Less Shocking in Person We’ll begin with the obvious: the 2022 Tucson‘s exterior styling. With aerodynamic concerns turning most SUVs into look-alike blobs, designers at most automakers use sheetmetal surfacing to manipulate reflections into forming the vehicle’s “lines.” Hyundai has done the opposite with its compact SUV, using sharply creased pane...
2022 Acura MDX SH-AWD A-Spec First Test: Gets the Job Done
Acura MDX Full Overview None of us wants to believe we’d fall for a marketing pitch or an advertising line. We’re all sophisticated, modern consumers who’ve seen it all. We’re jaded, and too smart to be sold, anyway. But there’s a reason you remember commercial jingles years or even decades later. There’s a reason you prefer one brand over the other, even if you can’t really explain why. None of this is by accident; it’s the work of teams of professional marketers with untold budgets saturating the world with carefully crafted messaging based on decades of psychological and behavioral research. It’s also the reason you should keep being jaded and skeptical of the messages you’re bombarded with, because they’re designed to se...
Are You the Designated DJ at Parties? Here Are 5 Lies to Get Out of It
Having good taste in music is a blessing and a curse. Odds are your friends entrench you as the designated DJ of the night without even asking. But curating music for an entire night and being on the hook for a party’s vibes is a major responsibility, and sometimes you just want a night off. Here are five cunning lies to get you out of the dreaded role of designated DJ. Fabricate Names of Your “Favorite Artists” Before the host is able to ask you to provide music for the party, strike up a conversation about what you’ve been listening to lately. When they tell you their favorite artists, act like you’ve never heard of them—even if the names are as big as Dua Lipa or DaBaby. Then when it’s your turn, fire off the most ridiculous names you can think of. Odds are they won’t want t...
I Hate Waiting Around, But These Hair Masks Work in Less Than 5 Minutes
If anyone were to ask me what my least favourite day of the week was, I would say, without hesitation, wash day. To wash, treat, detangle, dry and style my hair is not a quick job. And while I do try to lean into seeing the time as productive and meditative with specific hair-washing playlists to sing along to in the shower and podcasts to ponder on when I’m detangling, I do spend a lot of the time wishing it was over. Anything that can speed up the process is greatly received, which is why I’m a huge fan of quick hair masks. While most masks need at least 10 minutes for the formula to work on the hair (something which I don’t always have time for), traditional conditioners just don’t always cut it when it comes to providing the deeply nourishing in...
This Holy-Grail Product Treats Everything From Acne to Wrinkles
Despite being one of the most popular skincare ingredients on the market right now, retinol can still feel like a somewhat daunting addition to your skincare routine if you’ve never used it before. Tackling clogged pores, uneven skin tone, wrinkles, dullness and more, the skin-resurfacing ingredient is something of a superhero in skincare terms. And from the flurry of retinol-infused serums and eye creams hitting the shelves each week, it’s clear to see that retinol is definitely having a moment. But where should you start if you’re totally new to this potent ingredient? As someone who has experienced the unwanted side effects of using a particularly strong retinol in the past—dryness, peeling and irritation—moisturisers would ...

I’m a Shopping Editor and This Is the One Designer Bag I Carry All the Time
There is a certain stereotype of fashion editors that the media loves to peddle—you know the sort: glossy glamazons tottering around in sky-high stilettos, clutching an assortment of microscopic designer handbags. Well I hate to disappoint, but when it comes to accessories, specifically bags, I am boringly utilitarian, but thankfully there is one piece in my arsenal which manages to offer both form and function. Oh A.P.C Demi-Lune, how did I ever function without you? You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

2021 BMW M3 Competition First Test: Facing the Facts
BMW M3 Full Overview Any new BMW M3 is a big deal to the enthusiast car community. Forget for a moment what the car actually is and focus instead on understanding what it represents. The M3 is the souped-up, hot-rodded, better-to-drive version of the traditional Ultimate Driving Machine, the BMW 3 Series. The 3 Series is supposed to be a driver’s car right out of the box; the 3 Series after BMW’s M Division performance gurus have fiddled with it? We’re talking hopes and dreams here, people. While it will never be cheap, this level of M performance should be somewhat attainable. M3s tend to look pretty good, too, going all the way back to the swole-fendered, deep-chinned, bewinged OG E30 version of the 1980s. I don’t think I’ll ruffle too many feathers by sayin...

9 Classic Items Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Wears Again and Again
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is one of the most celebrated style icons of this decade, and she regularly gives us insight into what she wears at home or for her day-to-day errands via the mirror-selfie galleries that she posts to Instagram. She has a soft spot for anything new from Bottega Veneta, but after years of posting these mirror selfies, she is actually a big advocate for re-wearing old pieces and tends to not be charmed by cult buzzy buys. Rosie has a solid capsule of classic items that she consistently re-wears in new and exciting ways. She avoids anything too loud and steers clear of passing trends, instead sticking to a neutral colour palette and smart tailored separates that she can wear for years, if not decades. Her mirror selfies show that a successful...
11 Outfits You Can Re-Create With Classic Pieces You Already Own
Over the last few months, we’ve been calling upon you, our lovely readers, to tell us exactly what it is you’re looking for from Who What Wear during these strange times. Alongside plenty of calls for fashion-based escapism, wardrobe basics and at-home beauty, we also got inundated with requests for how to mix up your style without spending a penny. Well, you ask and it shall be given. It’s all too easy to become apathetic to those old faithfuls that have been hanging in your wardrobes for years. Once they’ve lost the shiny appeal of newness, they can fade into the background and become part of the sartorial wallpaper. However, in our experience, all these items need is a little re-contextualising, something to take them out of their stagnancy and help them to ...
The Smile-Inducing Outfits Fashionable Women Are Wearing Post-Lockdown
Does your wardrobe bring you joy? It’s a question we’ve been asking ourselves ever since Marie Kondo entered our lives and prompted us to rethink the items we own based on their potential to spark happiness. To hazard a guess, I’d say that over the last year, many of us have been focused instead on items that bring us comfort (think stretchy waistbands, cosy knitwear and the like). Though with lockdown plans now easing in the UK—albeit cautiously—there’s a newfound sense of optimism in the air, and that is certainly being reflected in our wardrobes. With this in mind, I tapped eight of the most stylish women I follow in the UK to find out about the joyful outfits they’ll be wearing post-lockdown, whether it be to head to the pub, park or a fancy rooftop re...
