The Bored Will Rule Us All • MOST DAYS, I’M A NOSY BASTARD ON THE TUBE. I scan the carriage. Shoes first – neat, polished, scuffed, casual, well-loved. Then coats. Then bags, including the backpacks that men refuse to take off, even though they must know they’re being awful by leaving them on.

26 Suits and Side Plates for Guys With Gains • You partied in December. Then you went full gym puritan in January. Now, that new and improved bod is getting heaps of compliments/double taps/swipes right. The bad (or good) news? You’ve outgrown your old suit – so here’s what you should do next.

Tiffany & Co is Making Up for Lost Time • The American giant has built a jewellery empire out of diamonds and golden locks. Now, it has set its sights on a new kingdom to conquer.

IT’S 9PM. YOU JUST LANDED, WHERE ARE YOU HEADED? • Some of the greatest evenings come together when you’re a plane ride away from the siren call of your sofa. That’s why, for this year’s edition of our Most Stylish Hotels on the Planet, we’ve dialled into the greatest late-night experiences in every corner of the globe. You can knock back doudou shots in Beirut, catch a late football game in Rio, lap up duck noodles in Bangkok, stargaze from thermal pools near Reykjavík, and wind up at a techno club in Kazakhstan. Friends don’t let friends rely on ChatGPT and Google Maps to figure out what’s cool at 1am, so we’ve asked some professional night owls to help us pin down your next nocturnal jaunt.

Industry Blew Up the Bank Then Got Right Back to Work • When Industry premiered in 2020, it was one of the least-watched shows in HBO history. But having grown in scale and ambition in subsequent series, and now in its fourth season, the banking drama is more self-assured, more stylish and more powerful than ever.

ALL-ACCESS AT THE BIGGEST NIGHT IN MENSWEAR • The red carpet? Fire. The drinks? Flowing. The dance floor? Popping. Here’s what you missed at the 28th GQ Men of the Year, our celebration of the year in culture.

Paul Mescal, In Flight • In five short years, he’s become one of Hollywood’s most coveted leading men – a singular talent of his generation. But how long can he resist the role the world wants him to play?

How to Eat Right IN 2026 According to Some Hench Bros, Nutrition Nerds and GQ Editors • In the slopocalypse of 2026, there’s a lot of fake news floating around about diet. A National Institutes of Health study last year found that only 14 per cent of nutrition-related posts on TikTok were classified as entirely accurate and – it gets worse – misinformation often got higher engagement than the credible stuff. Gulp. Those talk-to-camera videos of shirtless gym bros will have you believe that a new you is just around the corner… if you can only stomach enough bone broth, raw milk, ashwagandha powder, protein gels and NMN supplements. Yeah, we’re calling free-range bullshit. We spoke to some of our swollest, nerdiest, most clean-eating-obsessed friends (and a Hemsworth brother) to nail down 25 things we can agree on. Your gut can thank us later.

THE FINAL SHOT • Whether on the beaches of Britain in the 1980s with his seminal breakout works or on the slopes of the Italian Alps for this final shoot for GQ and Vogue, the late Martin Parr brought a perspective like no other. Robin Muir chronicles the life of a master.

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE • TECH TYCOONS, PODCAST BROS AND HOLLYWOOD STARS ARE ALL PILING MONEY INTO FULL-BODY SCANS - WHICH DEPLOY AI, CUTTING-EDGE BLOOD TESTS AND THE OCCASIONAL LASER - IN THE HOPE OF CATCHING EVERYTHING FROM HIGH CHOLESTEROL TO CANCER BEFORE YOU EVEN...
