I’m a Fashion Editor—Here Are the 8 Autumn Trends I’m Wearing
Speaking of suiting, here’s another version I’m obsessed with. I like to call these “back to basics” suit sets, as spotted in the A/W 20 collections of brands like Bevza, Olivia Theyskens, and Givenchy. While I clearly love the reinvented takes on suiting like the cropped blazers above, there is simply nothing as timeless or classic as a great tailored set. For the new season, wearing these in a fresh way really comes down to the styling. On the runways, we saw jacket sleeves tucked into leather gloves, with turtleneck and sleek boots, blazers with nothing beneath, and sets worn with bra tops layered under them. Here, I took on the bra top version but I’m looking forward to finding fresh ways to wear this blazer set as the season conti...
2020 Suzuki Jimny First Drive: Tiny 4×4, Massive Appeal
Compared with many of today’s compact SUVs the 2020 Suzuki Jimny is slow, crude, and cramped. It drives a lot like a mid-’80s rear-drive Japanese car. But it’s also so honest and unpretentious, so full of character and charm, and so surprisingly capable at doing what it was designed to do that it makes you smile every time you slide behind the wheel, something that’s unlikely to ever happen getting into a Toyota RAV4 or Chevy Equinox. In today’s fast-paced, ultra-connected, digitally enhanced automotive world, the Suzuki Jimny is one of life’s simple pleasures. See all 45 photos The 2020 Jimny traces its roots back 50 years, to a tiny, Jeeplike 4×4 called the LJ10. Launched in April 1970, the Suzuki Jimny LJ10 had a ladder-frame chassis, leaf-sprung...
2020 Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 vs. 2020 Mini John Cooper Works GP: Supercars, Writ Small?
The Briton (but Bavarian by DNA) is the most powerful Mini Cooper ever made. Its scoops, ducts, wings, lightweight forged wheels, and lack of a back seat immediately communicate its hard-core intent. Only 3,000 are being made, so you won’t see many around, either. These two little nutjobs represent completely different approaches to the hot-compact formula; upon closer examination, which philosophy wins out? See all 99 photos The AMG isn’t a hatch at all. It’s a swoopy compact sedan—even though Mercedes insists it’s a coupe—that weighs in at 3,700 pounds. But the weight doesn’t really matter when the hand-built 2.0-liter under the hood makes a frankly ridiculous 382 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. The third iteration of the Mini John Cooper Works GP featur...
Comment s’habiller comme une française cet automne
À Paris, nous devons beaucoup marcher. C’est pourquoi tout est chic mais toujours très pratique. Je vous garantie chaque parisienne possède des baskets, des bottes Chelsea et un trench-coat – toutes les pièces que l’on peu associer à un jean. Depuis peu, je vois aussi beaucoup de cardigans et de gilets en tricot sans manches (qui semblent être la pièce de transition parfaite) associés à des jeans. La clé est vraiment de faire en sorte que les pièces simples et minimales soient toujours intéressantes. Pour moi, il s’agit de combiner les couleurs, les tissus et les coupes, puis d’ajouter une touche finale avec de superbes accessoires. Si j’ai un t-shirt uni et un jean avec une ceinture marron, je l’associe à un manteau marron ou j’assortis mon ...
This Is the One Product Your Makeup Routine Is Missing, and I Tried Them All
I have a few beauty secrets up my sleeve, but the main one is my use of primers, a product that has the ability to divide so many of us makeup wearers. There’s a camp of people who believe they’re just moisturisers with a new name and others who absolutely swear by them. I’m one of the latter. I use a primer whenever I wear makeup, and my friends are constantly astonished by how long my makeup stays in place or by the finish of my foundation. The answer to both? Primer. I only wear one primer and have done so for years (stay tuned to find out which one), but I thought I’d switch things up and try out all of the primers on the market and give a review of each one.

Hyundai Reveals 800-HP, Electric Mid-Motor RM20e Sports Car
It seems like yesterday when we drove the midship Veloster N RM19 prototype around the Nürburgring and closer to home at the California Proving Ground. Now, Hyundai has further refined its mid-engine sports car, with the latest iteration pumping out more than 800 horsepower from an electric powertrain. Once again based on—and vaguely shaped like—the Veloster N hot hatchback, the Hyundai RM20e features an electric motor with 810 ponies, to be exact. This makes it significantly more potent than the RM19 with its 385-hp 2.0-liter gas engine. Peak torque skyrockets to 708 lb-ft, and Hyundai estimates the rear-wheel-drive prototype will zip from 0-62 mph in less than three seconds and on to 124 mph in 9.88 seconds. The new model is a follow-up to the Veloster N eTCR, Hyundai’s first elect...

Honda SUV e: Concept Previews Sleek Electric SUV Unlike Any Honda EV Before It
There are many electric SUVs rushing the market right now, with more coming later this year. So far on the electric vehicle front, we haven’t seen much from Honda—SUV-shaped or otherwise—until now. The automaker is debuting a sleek electric SUV concept at the Beijing Motor Show, the SUV e: Concept, not long after having discontinued the only EV it sold in the U.S. , the Clarity. If it wasn’t for the badge on the show vehicle’s nose, we’d have no idea it is a Honda. The concept features a long, squared-off hood, exaggerated wheels, and extremely thin headlights and taillights, cues we haven’t arranged on this premium a shape on other vehicles from the brand. And it doesn’t seem to take much, if any, inspiration from the Honda e, the cute new retro-fu...
2021 McLaren 765LT First Drive: Quicker, Lighter, Sharper
Sixth gear, nudging 170 mph, and Stowe Corner, Silverstone’s deceptively fast right-hander, is closing fast. Stay off the brakes … Stay off the brakes… Now! The steering wheel squirms slightly and the McLaren 765LT‘s nose dips sharply as the four 15.4-inch carbon-ceramic rotors are clamped by Brembo calipers. Flick the left paddle. Fifth gear. Flick it again. Fourth gear. Ease the pressure on the brake pedal just a touch and turn in. Feel the weight transfer keep the front axle planted all the way into the apex. Marvel at how faithfully the rear axle follows. Off the brake pedal completely and gently, oh so gently, squeeze the throttle and find the balance. Patience … Patience … The Trofeo Rs are nibbling, mouse-like, at the limits of adhesion. Clip the hungry curb that jumps o...
Katie Holmes’s Mango Joggers Are the Perfect WFH Staple
There are few things we love more than seeing a celebrity in a high-street item, and recently stylish stars have been flocking to Spanish retailer Mango. Just a few weeks ago, Sienna Miller was spotted in a pair of the brand’s wide-leg trousers and in recent days, Katie Holmes has been seen in their knitted joggers. Holmes paired the cream joggers alongside a check blazer, white long-sleeve T-shirt and sneakers, undeniably creating a WFH outfit Zoom dreams are made of. The blazer and white top ensured she looked completely put together on the top half of her body, while the joggers are proof she remained comfortable on the lower half.

25 “Christmas” Jumpers That Will Work From Now Until February
Despite enjoying fashion’s proclivity for being flamboyant, I’m usually the sort of person who dodges wearing anything remotely festive. Halloween costumes are a strictly no-go area, Valentine’s Day isn’t worth celebrating, so then of course Christmas jumpers are completely out of the question. Don’t get me wrong—Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year but when I start seeing the two words ‘novelty’ and ‘knitwear’ together, I want to run a mile. I detest it all: from pull-overs festooned with stick-out reindeer antlers to cable knits with look-at-me tinsel embellishments. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.
