Spring is always a time when I inject some colour back into my wardrobe, after spending months wearing greys, navys and browns. At this point though those colours are feeling a little drab and I’m gravitating towards more vibrant shades. If you’ve read our spring summer 2021 trend report you’ll know that an overarching theme for the season was a desire to put the joy back into fashion, which resulted in a sea of bright colours. The stand out shade was certainly pink, as almost every collection included fuchsias and hot pinks. Unsurprisingly Zara took note, and the new-in section is filled with lots of bright pink treasures from chunky jumpers to jeans. However that’s not the only colour the high street brand is backing right now, as you’ll ...
Pokémon cards aren’t quite the generational phenomenon they once were, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Now, each one is a tiny nostalgia machine. After finding himself in need of a new project while under lockdown due to COVID-19, an ingenious Etsy seller decided to tap into the ethos of the 90s and glue it to EDM by producing a series of custom Pokémon cards. Created using holographic foil and recycled cardboard, the cards feature albums from a number of electronic music icons, along with cleverly crafted attack names and descriptions. They also come with an adorable little easel for showcasing. Check out the custom Pokémon cards below, all of which sell for $13 or less. Skrillex As fans continue to wait for Skrillex‘s mythical solo ...
Kevin Hart has been a car enthusiast his whole life, and his closest friends and comedy crew-The Plastic Cup Boyz-are just as in love with cars. Namely, muscle cars. We’ve heard for years about Kevin’s impressive car collection, including a convertible Pontiac GTO and not one but two Mustangs—a 1965 Ford Mustang convertible and a restomod Mustang GT500E Super Snake making over 700 hp—along with a selection of Europe’s finest exotics. Now, The Plastic Cup Boyz want in on the action, and because everyone wants an awesome muscle car, they might as well start a car crew. Kevin Hart’s Muscle Car Crew, Coming Exclusively to the MotorTrend App This Summer! A bunch of comedians starting a car crew? This is going to be hilarious. No, seriously, they want it to be funny.

MOAR Power and Torque! For 2021, the Ford F-150 Police Responder’s standard 3.5-liter “EcoBoost” V-6 engine gets a boost in power and torque of 25 hp and 30 lb-ft and powertrain calibration custom tailored to police duty. That adds to 400 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque, which out-muscles the V-8 competition by 4-45 hp and by 90-117 lb-ft of torque. Its standard 10-speed automatic trumps the Chevy by four ratios and the Ram by two. Four-wheel drive is standard on all of the police pickups. We expect the Ford to be at least 1.5 seconds quicker to 60 mph than the Chevy or Ram with a time of around 5.2 seconds. There’s also a new button that allows an officer to temporarily disable pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking to better facilitate a bump-n-spin or p...
If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, people have been extremely board. Following a massive blizzard that trapped hundreds of cars on highways and left some parts of Colorado buried in two feet of snow, one intrepid snowboarder saw an opportunity. A local man named Wes Hughes decided to head to the fabled Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where he snuck in for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to board down the snow-covered venue. Skiing and snowboarding are not allowed at Red Rocks, according to the Denver Parks and Recreation Department. Ergo, Hughes was eventually escorted off the property by the venue’s security team, but not before shredding powder down the entire amphitheatre. Check out the video below, courtesy o...
No matter how much you might spend on it, there’s something about shampoo that always feels like the most basic step of your hair routine. After all, sudsing up in the shower just isn’t that exciting—it’s the masks, hair oils and styling products that bring the fun later. However, while I am partial to a more expensive shampoo and conditioner duo, I often recommend that it’s the place in your hair routine where you can cut costs if you’re looking to save some money—leaving you to invest more in your styling products instead. As a beauty editor I have tested a lot of shampoos over the years but while the luxe cleansers often feel great, and smell even better, there are plenty of drugstore shampoos that I use regularly and reco...

That said, Jamil is always quick to ensure she doesn’t come across as judgemental. “I’m not here to shit on anyone who’s had botox, there are a lot of trans people in the world who rely on surgery or botox to live a safe life. But I think we need to be more transparent about it and shift our goalposts to what we think is important. Those of us with big platforms have a duty to remind people that they are not just what they look like.” This perhaps is the key point Jamil is making. While plenty of celebrities, actresses and A-listers might look a certain way when dressed up and having had their hair and makeup done, when it’s off, they don’t look like that. Despite her desire to be transparent, that doesn’t mean Jamil hates clothes and makeup—far from it,...
I love a Katie Holmes coat moment as much as the next fashion editor, but just like the rest of the world, I’m ready for spring fashion. And Katie just gave us what we want with her perfect Ulla Johnson dress, which she paired with her favorite Common Projects white sneakers. With the days getting longer and the temperatures rising, we’ve been thinking a lot about dress trends here at Who What Wear, and Holmes’ nailed spring’s biggest trend. If you have any knowledge of Bridgerton, you know that it took place during the Regency era. The dresses at that time were very distinctive and very romantic. Accordingly, designers have been quick to release similarly romantic dresses, with puffed sleeves, empire waistlines, and pretty prints. Holmes’ dress...
Times are changing, and the truck of the future very likely won’t resemble the truck of the past. Alpha Motor Corporation understands and embraces this notion of change. Alpha, an electric vehicle startup company headquartered in Irvine, California, has a cool truck-looking vehicle in the works called the Alpha Wolf utility truck, and by golly, its throwback, retro cues and futuristic powertrain are quite intriguing to truck enthusiasts open-minded enough to give it a chance (once, or if, it reaches production). The Alpha Wolf electric truck shares a platform with the company’s Alpha Jax four-seater CUV. Additionally, the EV startup also has an Ace Coupe, Ace Performance Coupe, and Icon in its lineup. Unlike the bizarre shape of, say, the Tesla Cybertruck, the Wolf looks s...
Even though we haven’t had the chance to get behind the wheel of the new Wagoneer (or its Grander sibling), there’s already plenty of data we can dredge up and use to compare it with its American full-size competitors. Which SUV is the biggest? Which one has the most power? We parse all of this and more below, outlining how do the Wagoneer, Expedition, and Tahoe stack up on paper: Wagoneer vs. Tahoe, Expedition: Powertrains While both the Chevrolet Tahoe and the Jeep Wagoneer come with great big V-8s under their hoods (the Chevy’s optional diesel has no equivalent from the other two SUVs in this comparison), the Expedition can only be had with a twin-turbocharged V-6. That 3.5-liter twin-turbo Ecoboost V-6 makes a hearty 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. Even though...
Since taking on the role of Who What Wear’s social media editor back in November, I’ve noticed a few things about our audience. Firstly, there’s unanimous agreement that bubblegum pink is the most on-trend shade for spring. Secondly, if Hailey Beiber reveals behind-the-scene info on her beauty routine, everyone wants to know about it. And thirdly, we’re all is still completely and utterly obsessed with the Olsen twins’, even after all these years. Of course, when it comes to the latter, I can wholeheartedly agree that I too have an unrelenting interest in Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s aesthetic. Having grown up admiring the pair, I was as into their outfits in 2014 when they donned ‘I Heart New York’ t-shirt...
