We’re going to play the ‘better late than never’ card today regarding one Harry Styles - the man who needs no introduction (apart from to Izzy) and has finally stolen our hearts. Aside from the obvious (his face), we're discussing how men like Harry are setting a new precedent when it comes to style and sexuality and how he and men of his ilk (here's looking at you Timothee Chalamet and Donald Glover) are offering a much-needed update on what modern masculinity can look like. Plus, Jia Tolentino's internet-breaking essay on 'Instagram Face' has us investigating the many troubling side-effects of a culture obsessed with self-betterment. If you read only one thing this week, make it this.
