Cult Buys Aren’t Just for One Season—Here’s How to Wear Them Again and Again
In 2003, according to the beloved teen classic, The Lizzie Maguire Movie, being an outfit repeater was the cardinal sin of fashion and being an outfit rememberer was “just as pathetic.” Eighteen years later (whoa), I commit both “crimes” at least once a week, and, refreshingly, nobody cares. We, the people of fashion culture, have finally let go of that ridiculous notion. Instead, we celebrate our most beloved outfits and favourite pieces by wearing them as much as possible. We’ve recently seen more and more influencers making a point of repeating outfits and posting about it on Instagram. This shouldn’t be something to call out, but all to often influencers wear something once, get the likes, and toss that piece aside. However that certainly isn...

“If 2020 Was a Car, What Would It Be?” We Asked, and Here Are Your Answers
Just ahead of the end of the dirty-diaper dumpster fire that was 2020, we asked our Twitter friends: “If 2020 was a car, what would it be?” The responses ranged from blindingly obvious to the subtlest shade of, well, shade. Some of you kept it topical to current events in the automotive industry, while others dug deep into the smelly annals of automotive history. To those who mined Google image search, Giphy, or Photoshopped their own memes, we salute you. Everyone else, enjoy scrolling through these selections from the replies—which include a surprising number of three-wheelers… From the “obvious yet 100 percent correct” department were suggestions of the Pontiac Aztek, the Ford Pinto, the AMC Gremlin, Ford’s Edsel, and the Yugo. But if you use stock ma...
2021 Lexus IS 350 F Sport First Test: Sporty Enough?
Lexus IS Full Overview Small changes sometimes bring big improvements. Just ask Lexus. The 2021 Lexus IS didn’t start from a blank piece of paper; instead, it continues on the same platform it’s been on since 2013 but receives small styling and mechanical upgrades to make the sedan better. The IS is the Japanese luxury brand’s most important sedan, and in an era where sedans are on a slow decline (and the GS is retiring), this revised sport sedan carries even more weight in the Lexus lineup. Standing out in a crowded segment (especially between sport sedans) is key for the 2021 Lexus IS. And for the last few years, the IS hasn’t really distinguished itself. Newcomers such as the Genesis G70 and Alfa Romeo Giulia gained attention thanks to their handling, o...
What Is a Belly Tank Racer? Drop Tank Cars and Lakesters Explained
Little lozenges with wheels and a view port zip along a dry lake bed. They show up in drawings and logos. They pop up at local car shows and land speed events. People call them belly tanks, tankers, or drop tanks, and they are associated with vintage dry lakes racing. But where did they come from, and why do they look the way they do? Belly tank racers are a mix of WWII aircraft leftovers and hot-rodding ingenuity. They’re part of the early days of hot-rodding but are still in use today. Let’s start with where they came from. Answer: the sky. See all 13 photos What is a Drop Tank Car? The drop tank was designed to extend flying time by acting as a portable fuel cell that could be dropped once empty. That way, the pilot could more nimbly engage the enemy. They’re also know...
Bored? Learn About Some Cars You’ve Probably Never Heard Of
Whether you like it or not, you’ve got some free time to spend at home right about now. We’re here to help you make the most of it, so while you sit on the couch munching on that bowl of chips, why not read up on some of the weirder, more esoteric four-wheeled wonders you probably haven’t heard about before? The word “obscure” holds different weight depending on the person, and in this regard, we picked a few cars we believe our average car-minded reader from the States has likely never seen or read about before. (As distinct from “forgotten” rides that were sold here, such as these ’80s models, or these rad ’90s cars, or these convertibles.) In this weird, wacky world of obscure cars, there seemingly are a zillion one-off prototypes, f...
2020 Chevrolet Corvette Z51 Pros and Cons Review: Great Bones
Chevrolet Corvette Full Overview The mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette feels like other exotic cars, which is a new sensation for anyone familiar with the Chevy sports car. Hopping from Ferrari to Lamborghini to Chevy, the Corvette affirms that we made the right choice last year when we named the C8 our 2020 Car of the Year. Let’s be clear: The mid-engine Corvette Z51 is a car designed around the driver. Yes, it’s easy to look at the strip of Chiclet-sized HVAC control buttons separating the driver from the passenger and make fun. But once you’re actually behind the C8’s funky steering wheel, you’ll realize that the controls you need as the driver are the easiest to get to, and you’ll thank the car gods that they’re physical buttons, not buried in a to...
2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S Pros and Cons Review: Just Shy of Perfection
Porsche 911 Full Overview Pros Absolute magic on a back road Wonderful GT car Insanely quick Cons Magic replaced by cold competency on the track Street tires only We thought it was gone. Banished. We believed the good people of Stuttgart, with a bit of help from Weissach, had finally cured the Turbo’s one remaining weakness. Charging valiantly into our 2020 Best Driver’s Car field, though, the 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S revealed that its Achilles’ heel remains. It’s easy to see why we’d think so. In two back-to-back comparisons earlier this year, both the coupe and convertible annihilated their challengers. McLarens and AMGs couldn’t hold a candle to the new Turbo S on the road. And frankly, things weren’t much different this time around. Just a few ...
I Live in Manchester and Always See These 5 Trending Items
It’s extremely cliched to talk about the weather when referring to Manchester, however, our rainy climate does mean we have to put in a little extra consideration when it comes to fashion choices. And even more so this year, when we’ve spent a lot of time outside. In 2020, when most social activities (if any) have had to take place in parks (or anywhere open and cold), there’s certainly been a surge of practical outfits seen across the city centre—although I’d say it’s still distinctively Manchester cool. While London might be considered the centre of fashion in the UK, and in many ways it is, the history of fashion in the Northern city is rich and varied, and continues to influence how the UK gets dressed.
