If Vans Looked as Awesome as the Hyundai Staria, Would They Sell Better?
You’re looking at the new Hyundai Staria, and before you get too excited, no, it won’t be sold here. This is the replacement for a van known as the Starex, the sort of anonymous (although in its latest facelift, almost handsome) MPV that does taxi, livery, and people-hauling duties in Asia and Europe. The van market abroad is a little different from our kiddo-hauling, cupholder-sporting traditional van market, even before the SUV wave inundated van sales. But even the most ardent Starex fans couldn’t possibly have dreamed about what it would metamorphose into. See all 22 photos Hyundai says the new Staria has a “strikingly futuristic and mysterious exterior, resembling a spaceship”—and while normally we’d rather describe a vehicle to our readers in our o...

So Many Editors Want This High-Street Jacket—Because it Has the Perfect Fit
If there was a prize for the jacket trend that has been given the most airtime over the last 2 years, it would have to be the blazer. As someone who has around 5 currently sitting in my wardrobe, I can attest to its versatility, timelessness and ease to style. With its boxy fit and premium-feel fabric, my Arket wool blazer is a personal highlight, and it seems as though I am not alone in my love for this particular piece as I’ve spotted it on countless fashionable faces on Instagram.

25 Celebs That Prove This Low-Maintenance Hairstyle Suits Everyone
Finding a hairstyle that is universally flattering can be tricky. Sure, there are certain hairstyles that people always come back to. For instance, us Brits are going to be totally obsessed with shag hairstyles for spring summer 2021, but depending on your hair type and texture it’s often necessary to make adjustments so that certain trending hairstyles will work for you IRL. However, turns out there is one hairstyle that really does suit everyone, and without wanting to get too Goldilocks about it, it’s due to that winning combination of being not too long and not too short. Yes, a classic shoulder-length hairstyle works for every hair type—from tightly curled to poker straight and super-thick to very fine strands. Why? Well, there are n...
7 Spring Outfits All the Cool Girls Are Wearing in Paris
It can be hard to know what to wear these days. It’s freezing one day and suddenly feels like spring the next. However, technically speaking, it is now spring. The arrival of spring means its time to store away our puffer coats and chunky turtlenecks in lieu of some lightweight jackets and airy knits. To navigate the tricky in-between-season dressing, we decided to take a look at how our favourite Parisians approach winter-to-spring transitional dressing. One outfit formula that popped up on almost every French girl’s Insta feed is the simple yet charming cardigan and jeans combo. Trench coats are also back in full force—ready for those April showers. And the perennially chic combo of a midi skirt, knee-high boots and sweater is a classic and foolproof outfit...
This Key Accessory Will Make Everything You Own Look Designer
In the pursuit of making your outfits look cooler, you don’t have to invest in a haul of new clothes to make them so. In fact, the secret to adding instant polish and attitude to your ensembles lies with one key accessory—sunglasses. We consider sunglasses to be a year-round staple, but now as we ease into spring, chances are you’ve bumped upgrading your shades up a couple of spots on your sartorial to-do list. While you can quite easily pick up a new pair as you browse online (the high street has plenty of low-cost, on-trend options), some sunglasses brands are in a league of their own. We hope you’re ready because we’re about to introduce you to our pick of said brands. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a d...
Nissan’s AD-1 Concept Could’ve Beaten the Toyota MR2 at Its Own Game
Porsche’s mid-engined 914 dropped in 1969. Fiat had the X1/9 in 1974. Toyota had the MR2 a decade later. Nissan? Nada. While a few automakers saw success with affordable mid-engined sports cars, Nissan never pulled the trigger. And this is in spite of the fact it built the AD-1 concept car for the 1975 Tokyo auto show. It was the sort of affordable, sporty car that Toyota would see three generations’ worth of success with. Did Nissan blow it? See all 27 photos Maybe not if the AD-1 had made it to production relatively unchanged. As you can see from these period photos (Nissan tells us that, sadly, the AD-1 no longer exists), the AD-1 was a little homely from some angles. The front end screams flash-in-the-pan ’70s microcar, with oversized glassed-in headlights that make t...
The 2021 Toyota Tacoma Trail Edition Storage Bins Gobble Stuff and Bed Space
The new-for-2021 Toyota Tacoma Trail Edition tacks on a number of trail-ready bits—go figure. Based on the SR5 trim level and only available with the crew-cab body with the five-foot bed and the V-6 engine, the Trail Edition adds 16-inch wheels and Kevlar-lined all-terrain tires from the one-level-up Tacoma TRD Off-Road model, blacked-out badges, black fabric seats with tan stitching, a 120-volt outlet in the bed, all-weather floor liners, and a chrome grille from the Tacoma Limited. It also adds a pair of trick bedside-mounted lockable storage compartments. Sure, we knew all of this back when the Trail Edition was originally announced last year, but after seeing those in-bed boxes up close as the trucks reach dealers, they merit closer inspection for their potential for usefulness—at...
6 Celebrity Jeans Outfits I’ve Really Loved This Year
Celebrity outfit pictures might be few and far between in 2021, however when we do see stars they are now more likely to be wearing a pair of jeans. Whether you’re looking for some new ways to wear your favourite pair or are planning on returning to jeans after a winter spent in leggings, below you’ll find several outfits that don’t require a Hollywood budget. If you ignore the Bottega bags and Tom Ford shoes, a lot of the looks below can be recreated with wardrobe staples you might already own, such as a white shirt, cream jumper, camel coat and chunky boots.

Although the style remains relatively consistent, there̵...
GM Working on Lithium-Metal Batteries, Could Achieve 600 Miles of Range
The Hummer will be the first GM product to use the Ultium battery platform, and it will get about 350 miles of range on a full charge. But GM now says it can get about 450 miles of range for some vehicles from its Ultium batteries. The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq midsize SUV is the second vehicle due to utilize the Ultium system and is expected to get more miles per charge than the Hummer, the Lyriq being a much smaller and lighter vehicle. Lithium-Metal Battery Brigade To take the next leap, GM is partnering with SolidEnergy Systems to jointly develop lithium-metal batteries that will power future models. Reuss announced the new joint venture at a Washington Post virtual conference. SES is a leader in lithium-metal technology and battery management software that uses artificial intelligence. GM V...
Magna’s eBeam Axle Hopes to Turn Today’s Pickups Into EVs
Automakers are exploring many solutions for electrifying the sort of trucks that Americans can’t get enough of. In terms of conventional manufacturers, Ford is arguably out in front. Credit the already available Ford F-150 PowerBoost gasoline-electric hybrid pickup, as well as the upcoming F-150 electric. Heck, even Ram’s eTorque “mild hybrid” system is a fuel-saving step in the right direction. Upstarts like Bollinger, Lordstown, Rivian, and now Canoo want a piece of the pie, too, but aren’t reliant on “legacy” truck platforms. But for more traditional pickups, like the sort already running around your town as work or lifestyle vehicles, Magna has an interim solution called eBeam. We’re talking about an application for trucks with ...
I’m a Fashion Editor and These Are the Stylish Exercise Buys I Rate
The world of activewear—or as they said in the ye olden days, gym kit—hasn’t always been a particularly stylish one, and why should it be? More so than most other categories of clothing it exists to serve a practical purpose, and that is to get you from A to B, whether that’s a 10k amble in the countryside or a bass-pumping, 45 minute HIIT workout. However, I can’t deny that as someone who thinks and writes about fashion for a living (read: likes pretty things), I have found that the influx of style-savvy workout wear over the last few years has acted as added motivation to get my bum off the sofa and out the front door.
