The Epic Sales Our Editors Wait the Entire Year For

Instead, a hack all editors use is to scout the websites of our favourite brands before the sales even begin, identifying the pieces we’d love to own ahead of time. Then, should we find they’re discounted when the sale starts, we know we’re not spending for the sheer sake of it. So, the big question is, which are the best brands to shop on sale?

These 6 Colours Are the Key to an Expensive-Looking Winter Wardrobe

Once the colder weather settles in, there are a few key things we can always expect. Firstly, on weekdays, we’ll be rising earlier than the sun. Secondly, we’ll begin daydreaming about open fireplaces. And thirdly, we’re about to start seeing a whole lot more beige, brown, and orange tones on the rails. Whether it is because those colours mimic the hues of the changing leaves or simply play contrast to the bright colours we typically wear earlier in the year, there is something about this season that has everyone dressing in warm, cosy tones and timeless neutrals. It’s a tried-and-trusted colour palette that I know I turn to year after year, as each shade looks good individually but also seamlessly complements the other. We’ve noticed members of the style set also getting ...

2021 Kia Sorento Interior Review: Technically Nice

Kia Sorento Full Overview There’s more to the 2021 Kia Sorento’s interior than just enormous screens. Kia’s least expensive three-row vehicle is new for 2021, and like pretty much every other redesigned vehicle, the new Sorento welcomes an increase in digital real estate. Great! But if you’re looking for a three-row SUV (or even a two-row midsize SUV), could the 2021 Sorento work, or should you stick with the full-size but excellent Telluride SUV? Check out our full review and then keep reading for interior highlights on two variants of the Sorento SUV we recently spent time with: the 2021 Sorento SX Prestige and the 2021 Sorento X-Line. 2021 Kia Sorento: Third-Row Space We won’t make you wait.

Five Cool Alternatives to the Iconic LS V-8 Engine Swap

The Chevy LS V-8 engine has become the de facto engine swap suggestion for anyone seeking to add power to their existing platform, regardless of where the original vehicle might have been built or how many cylinders it left the factory with. It’s easy enough to understand why: the LS V-8 is relatively compact thanks to its OHV design, aluminum construction helps keep the weight down, and so many people have done this swap that a vast wealth of experience is available to draw from when planning your own engine surgery. Still, the LS doesn’t have to be the go-to drop-in whenever you’re looking for more power. There are a number of other very popular swaps out there that have consistently crossed company lines to deliver reliable and fairly affordable horses, each ...

What to Wear to a Wedding: 9 Outfit Ideas That Never Fail to Look Good

There’s no denying the fact that COVID has completely turned the wedding industry on its head. Plenty of nuptials have been cancelled, re-scheduled or made incredibly low-key this year due to the new rules. While we don’t know what’s ahead for 2021, we very much hope that there’ll be plenty of weddings going ahead. This also means, of course, that we’ll have an excuse to dress up. But, seeing as we haven’t done much of that of late, we need a few reminders of how to get dressed, especially for big events like a wedding.  We all have to walk that fine line when it comes to deciding what to wear to a wedding: You want to look striking, somewhat fun, but still appropriate. You want to be remembered for the right reasons, even if it isn’t you...

Meet the McLaren Sabre: a Limited-Run of Custom, 824-HP Supercars

Not too long ago, we showed you patent images that purported to show the wild shape of an upcoming limited-run supercar called the McLaren Sabre (nee BC-03), inspired by the company’s Vision Gran Turismo concept. Now, a McLaren dealership in Beverly Hills has pulled the wraps off the final car, painted in an arresting two-tone scheme and showing off all the swoops, wings, and slats we were hoping would come to the final product. See all 10 photos Indeed, this is a McLaren Special Operations commission, initiated by a customer, and the total number built will hit the upper end of the rumored series: 15. The “BC” in the car’s internal model name stands for “bespoke commission,” by the way. However, rumors about the powertrain proved to be slightly off. Rat...

The Mercedes-Benz SL73 AMG and Its Huge V-12 Were Peak ’90s Excess

Mercedes-Benz’s V-12 engine isn’t dead yet despite regulatory predation and increasingly power-dense V-8 engines painting a bleak future. As the lights dim on the big 12, it is now built only by AMG’s technicians and is only available stateside in a single non-AMG model, the Mercedes-Maybach S650. Back in the 1990s, though, Benz’s V-12 was the new thing in town, and graced the priciest, most dignified versions of the S-Class sedan and coupe, as well as the SL convertible. See all 10 photos The 6.0-liter V-12—the same size as the current unit but lacking today’s pair of turbochargers and 2o-plus years of technological advancement—announced itself with a long, airplane-style starter whirring noise, a sophisticated exhaust thrum, and a set of bumper-sticker-sized...

Dodge Daytona vs. Dodge Charger Daytona: What’s in a Name?

The 2020 Dodge Charger Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition is a marketing stab by the folks at FCA that capitalizes on the lunacy that was the original 1969 Daytona. As an homage to the original car, only 501 of these 717-horsepower beasties will be produced, a number that is supposed to mirror the 1969 production numbers. I miss having automotive heroes—those cars and trucks that, after flipping through the pages of the old buff books, would capture my imagination. Back then, I knew every option and engine code on every vehicle from nearly every manufacturer. Yet now, with the deluge of information we get via social media, I don’t commit as much to memory anymore. Today’s automotive culture is changing at a rate that’s faster than any modern-day vehicle. And while some OEMs...

Period Correct Teams Up Again With McLaren on Limited Apparel Collection

Following a successful collaboration with McLaren in 2018 which begat tasteful F1-themed hoodies, hats, jackets, duffels, and even some primo socks, automotive-themed lifestyle brand and fashion atelier Period Correct teamed up with McLaren once again, this time for a limited apparel run centered around the McLaren 720S and 765LT. PC whipped up a hoodie, hats, and both long- and short-sleeve t-shirts as part of the partnership, each wearing a mix of McLaren and Period Correct branding. Aside from the subtler designs that feature the traditional white McLaren typeface over a black background, a few of the t-shirts display a black-and-white shot of either the 720S or the 765LT in action both on the track and on the road. No duffels this time around, but the five-panel hats are some of the mo...

I’ve Lived in NYC, Paris, and L.A.—These Are the Fashion Essentials I Swear By

While I talk about fashion on the regular and share snaps of what I’m wearing, travel is another big personal interest that demands most of my other attention. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a fascination with travel—a passion that I attribute in part to my Sagittarius inclinations. Even though my travel plans have been put on hold this year, there’s no denying the impact all of my past travels have had on me. Notably, the cities I’ve lived in. Over the years, I’ve spent as much time as I’ve been able to exploring new places and moving to new cities, which is why I’ve lived in NYC, Paris, and L.A. during my adult life. Each city is known for fashion in its own way, but it’s clear that there’s a distinct take on style in each place. Living in each of the cities, I picked...

I’ve Worn Nothing But Leggings for the Past Year—These Ones Are Flattering

Over the past week, much of the world’s shopping habits undoubtedly changed as we adjusted to life at home. It goes without saying that we’re shopping for fewer dresses and more comfortable athleisure items than ever right now. To prove this point, global fashion search engine Lyst just put together a report compiling the “stay at home” online shopping searches that have spiked as of late. Among the insights are tidbits like the interest in comfy sports clothing in the U.S., the fact that sneakers are the most in-demand shopping category, and the brands that are piquing the most interest. We were particularly intrigued that among the most-wanted items for women, the number two slot (after Oska Yasha linen trousers) was Spanx leggings. As someone who h...
