Flesh and Mud

WHAT TO WEAR NOW • The age of quiet luxury is fading away – and splashy, in-your-face hues are officially back on the menu. We enlisted Tony star Dominic Sessa, in Barcelona, one of the most kaleidoscopic cities on Earth, to serve as your intrepid guide to menswear’s vivid new wave.

The GQ Guide to BARCELONA • Daniel Borrás, GQ Spain’s head of editorial content, calls Barcelona the sort of freewheeling city where you can “wear whatever you want, be whatever you want, and do whatever you want”. Here are his recommendations for a sublime time in the Catalonian capital.

Can’t a Big Boy Carry a Big Beautiful Bag? • The time has never been better to get a grip on a real-deal bag.

Your 12TH Engagement Party of the Season • Everyone you know is dropping to one knee, which means your calendar is filled with endless celebrations requiring you to parse unspoken dress codes. Sure, the style stakes aren’t as high as for an actual wedding – but here are three outfits that are guaranteed to make you the best (-dressed) man at any prenuptial party.

Taylor Fritz • …who says playing League of Legends helps him lock in – which might be the key to becoming the first US men’s player in 23 years to win a Grand Slam title.

Law Roach • …who’s behind some of pop culture’s best red-carpet looks. He kicks off our inaugural money column by revealing what fame is really good for: a table any time you need it.

They Grow Up So Fast Inside Kimi Antonelli’s Speedrun • He arrived last season as a teenage rookie with weighty expectations: representing Italy in the world’s biggest racing series while filling Lewis Hamilton’s seat at Mercedes. Now the 20-year-old is battling Formula 1’s best drivers for the title. Can Kimi Antonelli become the youngest champion in the history of the sport?

The Man Whose 5,475-Mile Journey Made a Menswear Legend • From Sierra Leone to Cyprus to London, designer Foday Dumbuya has been quietly building the kingdom of Labrum. Now, with the GQ and British Fashion Council fund to his name, it grows mightier still.

The Funniest, Smartest and Deepest Things We Heard at GQ Heroes 2026 • The actors you want to watch. The authors you want to read. The designers you want to wear. GQ’s annual festival of ideas brings together the great and the good for one chill summit. From intimate talks to late-night parties, we kept track of the chat (well, most of it).

Seoul Mates • The South Korean capital has seen an influx of tourists, all of them trying to piece together a city of many moving parts. We at GQ tapped our crew on the ground for some real local knowledge on how to drink, dress and digest in a place that refuses to be pinned down.

The Earthly Pleasures of THEO JAMES • THEO JAMES IS OPENING RESTAURANTS, MAKING GOOD TV, POLITELY DODGING SELFIES – AND WONDERING IF, AT 41, HE’S AGED OUT OF LONDON’S INTRINSIC HORNINESS. BUT THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE WHITE LOTUS AND THE GENTLEMEN, A ONCE-RELUCTANT HEARTTHROB HAS NEVER BEEN MORE IN DEMAND.
