Mark My Words: This Anti–Skinny Jean Trend Is Back in 2020
If I opened your denim drawer right now, I bet I could guess some of the key silhouettes stored inside—straight-leg jeans, skinnies, and perhaps even an of-the-moment outlier like those “grandpa” cuts. But what’s one style that probably hasn’t surfaced to the top of the pile as much as of late? Flares. Sure, cropped flares have been well, cropping up, over the last few years, but the more polarising bootcut and bell-bottom styles (aka anti–skinny jeans) haven’t been as popular again until recently. That’s right, designers from Celine to Paco Rabanne reintroduced fresh flared jeans in their S/S 2020 collections as the next It denim pick for the forward set. And fun fact, celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Margot Robbie, andHarry Styles have already been following suit in ’70s-ins...

The Jeep Grand Wagoneer Concept’s Grille Puts on a Light Show
How’s this for a welcome? You’re looking at the Jeep Grand Wagoneer Concept’s “welcome lighting,” shared via Instagram by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles exec and designer Ralph Gilles. Automakers have been introducing more and more elaborate approach displays recently and Jeep clearly has no intention of getting left behind. This Jeep puts on a show. For example, the refreshed 2021 Audi Q5 utilizes something it calls “signature lighting,” which causes the multi-segment OLED taillights to fire off with a custom flourish when you lock or unlock the doors, as well as when you engage the crossover’s Dynamic driving mode. The Grand Wagoneer’s front-end lights up in an intricate sequence. First, the “WAGONEER” script illuminates, ...
Maserati Promises New SUV Called Grecale Based on Alfa’s Stelvio
FCA’s merger with France’s PSA hasn’t changed its grand plans for a complete revamp of Maserati. The 630-hp, mid-engine MC20 supercar is the first of an avalanche of new or redesigned Maserati models scheduled to be unveiled by 2025. While the MC20 is set to serve as the brand’s halo (with a drop-top Spider version joining the coupe in 2022), Maserati insiders hope the brand’s money-maker will be a new mid-size crossover SUV called the Grecale, which will share a lot of hardware with the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. The Grecale, which in true Maserati tradition is named after a wind (in this case, a north-easterly that blows across the Italian peninsula), launches in 2021 and is key to a 40 percent increase in total Maserati SUV sales by 2025, the brand’s global ...
This Vintage Collection Always Sell Out Instantly—and I Got a First Look
“Retold was born out of a mission to make vintage and second-hand clothing inspiring and accessible to as many people as possible, especially to those who wouldn’t have considered wearing it before,” Clare explains. “There has been a huge shift in the last couple of years which has been amazing to see. People are consciously wanting to incorporate more secondhand into their wardrobes and therefore the vintage and pre-loved community has really grown significantly. Just look at Selfridges, a shop that has really embraced the secondhand retail market with pop-ups from Vestiaire, Depop, Hurr rental, and now their Project Earth campaign. I, for one, didn’t think even two years ago the wider retail sector would be embracing secondhand so much. “My t...
These Are the 5 Trends Londoners Are Embracing for Autumn
Historically, when speaking about London fashion trends, knowing what chic city dwellers were wearing was as easy as taking a look around a crowded tube carriage. Though as the last few months have totally altered the way we live, work and socialise, this year figuring out what’s trending amongst Londoners has become a slightly more digital affair. While once we used to take inspiration from the stylish women on the tube, at work events or sitting beside us at our local restaurants, now we’re turning to Instagram to see what’s in. So what are all your favourite Londoners wearing for autumn? Well, with the current climate how it is, it seems we aren’t ready to give up loungewear just yet, though for autumn influencers are elevating the style...
I Think Men’s Fragrances Are Way More Interesting—These Are the Ones I Wear
I want people to smell whatever it is I’m wearing and think about how interesting and different it is. I want some people to fall head over heels for it and others to be on the fence. And sadly, women’s fragrances just don’t embody that sense of intrigue anymore. Instead, perfume houses are keen to rinse the lucrative women’s fragrance market for all it’s worth and release one fail-safe crowd-pleaser after another. Because of this, I’ve been reaching for men’s fragrances more often than I have women’s in recent years. And no, I’m not talking about the loosely named unisex types. I’m talking about fragrances specifically for men. You see, while so many brands are cashing in on the idea of unisex scents, they also know that the main purchasers of such scents are female. While head...
I Shop on ASOS for a Living—Here’s Everything I’ve Added to My Cart This Month
Williams has a knack for uncovering the coolest picks from the site and her outfits always find their way into my saved folder. As an insider, she told me, it’s basically her role to share daily style content on her feed @asos_lotte. “But the only difference is that I mostly wear things from ASOS,” she said, “which, TBH, even if I wasn’t an insider I’d be doing anyway!” With that, Williams is sharing the contents of her virtual shopping cart with us and her finds are so good. “I have a bit of a habit of checking New In almost as much as I check my social feeds which probably explains why I never miss a thing,” she explained. “I also have my go-to brands for certain things—ASOS Design and Collusion for f...
2021 Lucid Air Dream Edition Stickers for a Whopping $169,000
That said, the base Air starts below $80,000. It’s unclear if this is before or after a destination charge, though. Keep in mind the Air qualifies for the full federal tax credit, which when factored into the equation, brings the price down to less than $72,500. The Tesla Model S no longer qualifies for this credit, and it starts at $76,190, including a $1,200 destination charge. We’re still awaiting full performance specs for the base Lucid Air, which goes on sale after the initial batch of higher-end Airs roll off the assembly line. Nevertheless, we know even the entry-level Air boasts the ability to add 300 miles of range in 20 minutes when plugged into a DC fast charger. Move up to the Touring, and you’re looking at a price of $95,000 before accounting for tax credits...
2021 Lucid Air First Look: Rarified EV Air
The normal temperature in Los Angeles on this particular date is 84 degrees Fahrenheit. Its record high was 102, set in 1955. Today it’s 111 (with 121 degrees recorded elsewhere in L.A. County). Call it global warming’s local warning. When my abode was built, its location of a mile from the Pacific Ocean meant you didn’t need air conditioning to stay comfortable. With indoor squatting at Starbucks nixed and in a perspiring panic, I’ve decamped to the spacious, air-conditioned back seat of an SUV in the driveway to chronicle my introduction to the zero-emission 2021 Lucid Air electric sedan. Life is the theater of the absurd. It seems humans are just 7.8 billion jeans-and-T-shirt-wearing frogs in a planet-sized pot of warming atmosphere who all keep forgetting what t...
Lily Allen Just Wore the Perfect 2020 Wedding Dress
And the bride wore vintage Dior. Yesterday, Lily Allen wed Stranger Things star David Harbour in a ceremony in Las Vegas and wore a gorgeous ’60s-style frock. The singer and the actor have been together for just over a year and have been showing us photos of their summer holidays over the past few weeks. But this time, instead of shots of the two of them and Allen’s children on a boat, it was photos of the bride and groom, with Allen wearing a short cream vintage Dior dress and black Miu Miu heels. The dress had cap sleeves with a boatneck neckline and a row of three double-breasted black buttons down the front, finished off with a thin white belt around the waist. It was vintage but without looking like a fancy dress costume. The couple, along with Allen’s chil...
2021 Lexus RC Adds Swanky Black Line Trim and More Standard Safety Kit
The Lexus RC is one of those cars that’s easy to forget about. It’s not particularly popular and its design is somewhat polarizing. Lexus is hoping to bring the RC back to the top of consumer’s minds, though, with the reborn RC Black Line. Just like the previously available 2018 model, the 2021 Lexus RC Black Line benefits from orange and black accents throughout. But this time Lexus is also offering something a little extra. In order to add more appeal to the Black Line, Lexus has partnered with Zero Halliburton to create a bespoke set of luggage for the car. The luggage set features an Edge Lightweight 22-inch Continental Carry-on and a 26-inch Medium Travel Case. Halliburton is known for its high-quality travel bags and briefcases, and the Black Line’s stand...
