Going up

One Dance Oh, hi, Drake’s song of the summer. Plus points for covering Nico’s These Days.

Asket Oxford shirts and T-shirts Transparent pricing and longer-length fits. Why did this take so long?

Hawaii Five-0 The lairy lad’s shirt is having a renaissance – see Gucci and Valentino.

Uniqlo The colourful brand has updated its MoMA collaboration. We love the Kaws pieces #ripeforarevival.

Palace’s cap keyring A tiny baseball cap. Too. Cute.

Tituss from Kimmy Schmidt Our favourite firecracker is back. We can’t wait for the Peeno Noir follow-up.

Black Converse, rolled-up jeans Totally 80s, and totally spring 16.

Bougainvillea pink and Yves Klein blue The colour combo for next season: see Kim Jones Instagramming Yves Saint Laurent’s Morocco garden for details.

Going down

Hedi Slimane leaving menswear If he does go to Chanel, it’s a blow for the skinny rock brigade.

Zayn and Gigi Is it just us, or did their couples shoot for US Vogue look like a brochure for a really bad holiday resort? Kim and Kanye did it better.

Muscle vests Just not OK, whether you’re Brooklyn Beckham or Spencer Matthews.

Menswear collections showing at womenswear Sadface! Gucci, Burberry, Tom Ford… all the glamour is going from men’s shows.

Justin Bieber’s hair Having an identity crisis as we speak.

Keanu Reeves on shadows From Speed to Sad Keanu to a book about the aesthetic and literary values of shadows. Cheer up, m8.

Pop men Avicii has retired. Bring on the sadlads Gabriel Bruce and Yung Lean, aka boys singing about heartbreak and home truths.

Coolsplaining When someone tells us what’s cool. Or what’s not cool. Back off, pal.
