At some point in the last few years, airlines have found a way to charge us for basically existing anywhere in the vicinity of an airport, as if going on holiday wasn’t expensive enough… That means, if you want to take even a fraction of your toiletry bag, you’re likely to end up paying through the nose for checked baggage.  If you’re not in the business of spending more money than you need to to get where you need to go, you might prefer to take a carry-on suitcase instead. To make sure you have a container that doesn’t drive you insane when …

14 Best Athletic Fit Jeans 2026, According to GQ Denimheads

Published by Jenni Sidey

To kick off the process, we enlist the GQ Recommends braintrust to vote on our contenders. Some of the folks involved have worked in retail, slinging clothes to the masses; others have toiled for small-batch menswear labels; all spend way too much time thinking about what hangs in their closets. We lean on that collective experience to guide our search, culling a mix of household names, indie favorites, and the artisanal imprints on the bleeding-edge of the genre. Then we narrow down the assortment to the picks that scored the highest across quality, fit, and price. Across the majority of our buying guides, our team boasts firsthand experience with the bulk of our selects, but a handful are totally new to us. So after several months of intense debate, we tally the votes, collate the anecdotal evidence, and emerge with a list of what we believe to be the absolute best of the category right now, from the tried-and-true stalwarts to the modern disruptors, the affordable beaters to the wildly expensive (but wildly worth-it) designer …

Support into adulthood ‘not fit for purpose’ says review

Support into adulthood ‘not fit for purpose’ says review

Published by Miika Tikkanen

The institutions built to support young people into adulthood “are no longer fit for that purpose”, with schools too focused on exams and getting pupils into university, a damning government review has found. Former health secretary Alan Milburn’s diagnostic report on “young people and work” warned the “tail of failure will persist” until schools are “held accountable for what happens to their pupils after they leave”. According to the report, failure to address the problem will result in an increase in the rate of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET) from one in eight to one in six within five years. The report, commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions, concluded that no one event, problem or part of the system was to blame. “The evidence does not support a single explanation. It supports something harder to accept: that the institutions we built to support young people into adulthood are no longer fit for that purpose, and that the country has known this for some time.” Milburn will make final recommendations …

Personality Hurts: What Happens When You Just Can’t Fit In

Published by Jenni Sidey

The idea that it’s important to find a match between yourself and your environment shouldn’t seem all that difficult to comprehend. No one likes to feel that they don’t fit in to their surroundings. As simple as this may seem, however, psychology doesn’t always take this into account when predicting who will be happiest or unhappiest in their social surroundings. Too many times, people are expected to adapt to whatever vagaries their path in life may take them through. It would seem as though psychology would want to lessen the impact of an imperfect fit on an individual’s well-being. The Person-Environment Fit at Work In a recent study by University of Minnesota’s Connie Wanberg and colleagues (2025), the idea of person-environment fit forms the basic framework for understanding how happy or miserable workers are when their job demands that they act in ways inconsistent with their personalities. It’s known that people will try to leave incompatible jobs, but what about the consequences in the moment of being made to feel uncomfortable with a specific demands …

People are using vibration plates to get fit — but do they actually work?

Published by Daniella Wilson

You’ve likely seen vibration plates on social media channels or in magazines over the last few years. The trendy wellness tech has been having a moment. The buzzing boards boast the ability to improve balance, strengthen muscles and bones, relieve pain, remove excess fluid from swollen limbs and help you lose weight. All you need to do is get on and strike a pose — or even just lie down. But do they actually work? Experts say how effective the plates are really depends on what you’re hoping to gain from the experience. “The platform produces rapid vibrations that stimulate muscles throughout the body, causing them to contract and release multiple times per second,” Dr. Jacob Calcei, an orthopedic sports medicine surgeon at University Hospitals, said. “This involuntary muscle activation can amplify the effects of your workout and may provide numerous health benefits.” open image in gallery Vibration plates are trendy in the wellness space on social media.
