2020 Ram 2500 Laramie 4×4 Cummins Long-Term Update 1: Burdening Our Beast

Ram 2500 Full Overview Guffman, our 2020 Ram 2500 Laramie long-termer, has been making up for lost time by remaining in almost perpetual motion since his midsummer arrival, including a golf outing to northern Michigan and numerous trips to cabins. We therefore struggled to find a moment to schedule replacement of the sliding rear window we knocked out while hauling a grill north. After copious confusion and finger pointing between our dealer (who doesn’t “do windows”) and a local glass shop, FCA ended up installing the $416.56 part for us at HQ. That fixed, we put those auto-leveling rear air springs to a serious test. Record water levels have caused Lake Huron to breach a stretch of seawall at my summer place. Doubling its size to rectify the problem required us to mix 1...

Watch the 2021 Toyota Mirai Relieve Itself (of Its Water Emissions)

Will this be the least mature automotive coverage you read all week? Very likely. In any event, we currently have a 2021 Toyota Mirai in for evaluation, and it is a completely serious electric vehicle powered by a high-tech onboard hydrogen fuel cell. This tech uses hydrogen as a fuel to generate electricity by a chemical process, thereby emitting only H2O—water—as a byproduct. On the Mirai, that water is ejected beneath the car via a little spigot that the driver can control using a button on the dashboard. Push the button, and the Mirai evacuates its water. Our immature side took things from there. See all 32 photos Look, it’s not often you can describe something like a car as “peeing,” but when those opportunities arise they cannot be wasted—water expelling pun in...

Short Curly Hairstyles That Will Make You Rethink Your Long Hair

It doesn’t matter your curl pattern, density or face shape, whether loose waves or tight coils, short curly hair can work on everyone — but with a little effort. “A style that is short and curly is easy to style and manage, but it is one that requires maintenance,” says Daniele de Angelis, International Artistic Director of Toni Guy. The London Hairdresser of the Year 2020 explains how the short, curly cut can be achieved. “You should be sure to make regular visits to your hairdresser, especially if the length is above jaw level in order to keep its shape,” she explained to WhoWhatWear. “A short hairstyle can absolutely suit multiple curl textures,” she adds, “but your stylist must adopt the correct cutting technique for the required tex...

This Is the Hardcore, Track-Ready Stelvio GTAm Alfa Romeo Won’t Build

See all 33 photos Just like a Giulia GTA, our purely hypothetical Stelvio GTA would be lighter—let’s say 220 pounds lighter, just like its sedan sibling. So, too, would it adopt a bevy of carbon fiber components: the driveshaft, hood, front fenders, bumper, rear fender extensions, and so forth. Aluminum and Lexan are also used strategically to reduce mass further. A Stelvio GTAm would certainly include carbon-fiber shelled racing seats up front, six-point racing harnesses, and more aggressive aero aids. Would Alfa go so far as to delete the rear seat, like the Giulia GTAm? The question is academic, so let’s move on (but, we hope so!). However Alfa Romeo would spec it, the QF’s 505-hp, 2.9-liter twin-turbo V-6 would likely get pumped up to 540 ponies, exhaling through an A...

Bentley Reveals Holly Jolly Flying Spur V8 Commissioned by Santa Claus Himself

In a historic move no doubt influenced by PETA lobbyists and mounting pressure from both the Elks Lodge and Caribou Labor Union, manufacturing mogul and holiday god-emperor Santa Claus (née Saint Nicholas) is apparently retiring his traditional reindeer-flown sleigh for something a bit more terrestrial. Nothing is written in the snow yet, but Bentley’s latest bespoke commission appears to be right in line with Father Christmas’ well-known aesthetic sensibilities. Chalk it up to too much eggnog or finally getting a smooch under the mistletoe from the Spirit of Ecstasy, but the Crewe-based automaker is uncharacteristically forthcoming about the identity of this mystery buyer. In a release full of cheer, Bentley all but confirms Kris Kringle as the force behind this commission; as...

The Secret to Glowing Skin Might Just Be the Cold

I can’t stand being hot and let’s not even talk about sweating. So unimpressed. With that said, it’ll come as no surprise that I’m not afraid of the cold, in fact I welcome it.  Recently, I started the Wim Hof Method, not in an attempt to be labelled as the ‘Icewoman’ but I was intrigued by the health benefits. The method includes breathwork and the signature cold showers.  Honestly, its been a game-changer for me. The breathwork has helped me to connect to my body better and given me more energy and focus. I may not like being hot, but I love hot showers. The method involves having your usual temperature shower followed by a cold shower, starting at 15 seconds and going up to 2 minutes over time.  The first week was brutal, but after that...

I’ve Fallen In Love With These Classic Winter Pieces and I Think You Will Too

As a fashion editor, I have spent a lot of my career reporting on new trends, new labels and new ways to wear things. However, in an effort to slow down the trend cycle and buy items with longevity in mind, we are also conscious here at Who What Wear to dedicate as many stories to repeated outfit ideas, classic items and secondhand items. Personally, I always gravitate to simple pieces that have a timeless appeal. Below I’ve put together an edit of classic winter pieces that I really love, including fine knitwear to wear in place of a T-shirt, beautiful leather handbags, blazers in neutral shades and chunky ankle boots. In terms of brands, there of a number of labels I always turn to for a timeless aesthetic. At a higher price point, Nanushka and Totême are two brands leading th...

Like It or Not, Clogs Are Back, and They’re Coming to Get You

Among the Who What Wear team, I’m known for loving an “ugly” shoe. Case in point: my thoughts on how Crocs are going to be big in 2021. While that might be an “ugly” shoe too far for some, style-adjacent to the Crocs is the clog, which is also coming back for 2021. It might seem like the same shoe but is actually a little different, and (sorry Crocs), much cooler. Last summer, I was drawn to clogs when I spotted Fabrizio Viti‘s daisy versions. I own a pair of the denim ones and while I didn’t have anywhere to wear them last summer, I can’t wait to style them à la Lucy Williams and pair with socks. As for the rest of fashion, I can really pinpoint the moment we turned towards loving clogs and that was when Hermès debuted th...

I Just Found 24 Chic Everyday Items While Scrolling Through H&M

I scroll through the pages and pages of new pieces at H&M every day as I’m doing shopping research for my stories. Naturally, I’m always inclined to share some of my standout finds with you, and below you’ll uncover a range of items that recently caught my eye from H&M that I think you might be into as well. What’s special about the edit in question is that I believe that the group could fall within that “everyday items” category in that they’re all highly versatile and could easily be styled with a smattering of basics. Intrigued? Keep scrolling to shop the staples worth noting from H&M, including gorgeous jumpers, chic outerwear finds, and comfy separates.

Free Up Some Museum Space for Carroll Shelby’s Personal 1965 Shelby 427 Cobra

You’re not part of the Miller family dynasty of Utah Jazz and Miller Motorsports Park fame, are you? Shucks, that means you’ll probably never get some seat time in the first Shelby Cobra ever. When the Millers purchased chassis CSX2000 at auction back in 2016 for just under a whopping $14 million, they were the first owners of the car—other than Carroll Shelby himself. If you’ve still got that “Carroll Shelby’s Personal Cobra” slush fund still bristling with zeros, great news: Mecum Auctions has another one of Carroll Shelby’s roadsters up for grabs, and this time it isn’t one of those namby-pamby, prissy-pants slabside 260 Cobras (we jest!), but one of the original street-spec 427 Cobras that launched a million replicas. According to Mecum, ...

That Time Chevrolet Made a Horrifying Alien Abduction Film to Introduce the Corsica

Today, we bring you a break from Christmas carols and fashionably ugly sweaters for a decidedly non-holiday-related bit of absurdity: A short movie about aliens abducting the new-for-1987 Chevrolet Corsica and the hapless family within. Go on, run through this two-and-a-half minutes of total weirdness, and if by the end you don’t hate us for making you sit through it, we’ll explain, or at least expound. This oddball film was, apparently, an introduction for Chevrolet dealers to their new front-wheel-drive family sedan, the Corsica. If you can’t bear to watch, it shows a family driving down a dark road when their Corsica quits—something that wouldn’t strike the owner of any GM product from the mid-1980s as terribly unusual. But no, this wasn’t a failure due to ...
