Limited-Run 2020 Polaris Slingshot Grand Touring LE Is the Color of Money
The Polaris Slingshot is an emotional purchase. Why else would anyone spend north of $25,000 on this roofless tricycle without room for more than two people or really any of their stuff? Need practicality and, well, a real roof? Then go out and buy yourself a generic crossover SUV. The Slingshot, however, combines near-motorcycle-like dynamics without the hassle of obtaining a motorcycle license (well, in most states). It also offers the comfortable seating position of a car and wild styling that’s unlike just about anything else on the road today. Now, Polaris is taking that last bit a step further with its 2020 Slingshot Grand Touring LE, a special-edition Slingshot limited to fewer than 300 units. See all 29 photos The $33,999 ($34,299 in California)—before adding i...
I’m 5’1″—Here Are All the Petite Summer Dresses I Have on My Wish List
It’s not easy being petite. For all the money you spend on clothes, often you have to then fork out even more for alterations. Hemlines are too long, billowing sleeves have too much excess fabric, and don’t even get me started at waistlines that usually end up sitting somewhere around your hips. Thankfully though, there are currently several brands across the high street that are making things easier for those of us lacking a little bit of height. From Next to New Look, Topshop to ASOS, dedicated petite ranges are becoming much easier to find if you just know where to look. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

I Can’t Go on Holiday, But I Want to Wear All These Swimsuits as Tops
The global pandemic has shifted many things for us day to day. It’s meant a complete halt to so many activities many of us took for granted. Now, there are plenty of more important issues at hand than whether or not you can go on holiday, but let’s be honest: There are a lot of people clamouring for a change of scenery. After weeks of sticking around the same areas, the temptation to jet off to somewhere completely different is acute. While it’s unlikely that a lot of us will be heading to warmer climes anytime soon, that doesn’t mean we can’t wear the swimsuits we thought we’d be using this year.

14 of the Prettiest Printed Dresses to Throw on With Sandals
One of the best things about summer dressing is the ease of putting an outfit together in the morning. There’s no faffing with layers or spending too long in front of the mirror wondering whether this goes with that. Herein lies the beauty of the dress-and-sandal duo—the simplicity of waking up and throwing on a dress with your favourite sandals and looking not only acceptable but also like you’ve actually put in triple the effort. My personal lockdown experience was transformed when the weather began to warm up and I realised that the right dress can be just as comfy as joggers, and it made me feel altogether more joyful. Now it’s hard to get me to wear anything else. As we reach peak summer, even if it involves throwing a light jacket over when those pesky British clouds...
Which Jeep Is the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Gunning For?
Ford’s coming after Jeep, aiming the big Bronco directly at the Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited. But which of Jeep’s three front-drive-based models is the closest rival for Ford’s Escape-based Bronco Sport? Let’s examine what we currently know or surmise about the Bronco Sport’s size, price, performance, and capability and find the closest Jeep match. Size-Wise—Exterior In terms of exterior wheelbase and length dimensions, Jeep’s Compass is the closest match to the Bronco Sport, at 103.8 and 173.0 inches, respectively, to Bronco Sport’s 105.1 and 172.7. The Renegade is considerably shorter (101.2/166.6), and the Cherokee is longer (107.1/182.0). But in striving for that boxy mien, the Ford measures taller than any of the above, at 67.9 inches for t...
Spec Comparison: 2021 Ford Bronco Sport vs. Jeep, Subaru, and Others
We’ve examined how Ford’s truncated, tallened, and toughened-up Escape compares against Jeep’s Renegade, Compass, and Cherokee; now let’s size the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport up against the wider compact SUV competitive set. Bear in mind that the Escape is primarily tasked with broad-market appeal, so its offerings span a wider price, performance, and capability spectrum. The Bronco Sport is more focused on enabling adventure travel, but it’s not the only one on this list with such a focus. So how does it stack up? 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Inner People Space vs. the Competition Tall buyers will delight in the class-leading front and rear headroom afforded by the all-new 2021 Ford Bronco Sport’s tall, safari-stepped boxy roofline. Front legroom is also among the...

The 2021 Ford Bronco’s Off-Road Trail Map Navigation System Will Leave Jeepers Jealous
If you want to get way out into the woods, desert, or mud with a 2021 Ford Bronco, you’ll be happy to know that the company has an onboard solution to help get you back home—no external GPS device needed. The new Bronco has features baked into its SYNC 4 system that will allow users to create, share, and navigate off-road routes right from the integrated 8.0- or 12.0-inch central infotainment screen—just the thing to set this new off-road SUV apart from its competition (ahem, Jeep Wrangler!). We’ve simulated what it might this not-nav setup look like above, using information about what maps the system will use. Before we dive any further into the (admittedly limited) details that we have on this system and how it’ll work, the integration here is the best part. There’...
2021 Ford Bronco: How the Wrangler Fighter Went From Foam Concept to Reality
When Jim Hackett took over as chief executive officer of Ford in 2017, he brought with him a design approach he calls “minimum viable prototypes. ” In short, Hackett’s mentality is that an automaker ought to avoid sinking too much money into expensive prototype vehicles, which oftentimes results in a company feeling financially compelled to see a potentially sub-par project to completion. Ford used this approach to create the 2021 Mustang Mach-E electric crossover, as well as the 2021 Bronco SUV. In the case of the latter, Hackett’s method allowed the team to play around with items such as the vehicle’s removable doors and roof, as well as the placement of the Bronco’s body panels and side mirrors, while affording them the ability to skirt the fine ...
12 Hand Sanitisers That Almost Smell Just as Good as Perfume
For those of you who have been diligently applying hand sanitiser for years, you’re probably feeling pretty smug right now—especially considering all of the eye-rolls you encountered every time you took out your prized bottle before a meal. Well, as this is our new normal, we all need to get on board and befriend the not-so-humble-anymore hand sanitiser. There are obviously two camps of sanitiser: the usual medical-scented ones and the more luxe versions. With frequent use, the strong alcohol scent can often seem a bit harsh, so we’ve done the legwork for you to find the best hand sanitisers that also smell pretty nice. Reminder: It’s recommended to go for an alcohol-based hand sanitiser that has at least 60% alcohol content, so keep an eye out for th...
28 Smart But Comfy Trousers That Are Perfect for Summer
After months of slouching, the novelty of wearing jogging bottoms has well and truly worn off. I want to feel comfortable, for sure, but now I miss feeling put-together and am slowly revisiting the smarter items in my wardrobe. This summer, we wrote about a pair of linen jogging bottoms from H&M on Who What Wear, and it’s clear from the number of clicks it generated that I’m not the only one wanting to swap my slobbing-around clothes for something a little more polished. I’m normally a dress person in summer, however, I am finding myself drawn towards relaxed trousers in either lightweight linens or with uplifting summer shades. The H&M jogging bottoms are now sadly low in stock, but I’ve found lots of other equally tempting pairs from brands including Arket...
