Styling the Classic Harrington for Summer

With summer approaching—albeit very slowly—fashionistas are on the lookout for adaptable wardrobe staples that combine comfort and style. The Harrington Jacket, also known as the Baracuta or the G9, is one such staple—a timeless classic worn by icons of their eras, including Frank Sinatra and James Dean.

Due to its versatile design, the Harrington Jacket has stood the test of time since the 1930s. An emblem of youth and rebellion, it was soon adopted by the UK’s mod scene and has since been incorporated into everyday fashion trends. Here’s a guide to styling your Harrington Jacket this summertime, ensuring you stay cool, comfortable, and, most importantly, stylish.

The Rebel Without A Cause

Pair your Harrington jacket with a simple white T-shirt and slim-fit jeans for a quintessential casual look—the James Dean. Whether you’re meeting mates at the local watering hole or running daily errands, this is an all-purpose, all-situations get-up.

Styling Tips:

●      Choose lighter-washed denim to emphasise summer styling.

●      Accessorise with sunglasses—aviators or rounded lenses with tortoiseshell frames.

●      Add a classic baseball cap in a neutral summer colour such as white, beige or navy.

The Smarter Than Usual

For occasions that require a bit more class, the Harrington can easily be dressed up, proving yet again its versatility. Pair it with a custom or slim-fit short-sleeve shirt and chinos for a smart casual outfit, perfect for Friday beers with the boys or convincing your Tinder date that you’ve got your life together (even when you don’t).

Styling Tips:

●      Trade trainers for desert boots or loafers to enhance and smarten your outfit.

●      For an all-rounder, choose a Harrington jacket in a neutral colour or tone, such as Navy, tan, or black.

●      Accessorise with a classic timepiece, ideally with a vintage leather strap for a touch of elevation.

The Gym & Tonic

For pretending you’re off to the gym when you’re really heading to the pub. Your Harrington jacket can be combined with athleisure pieces such as joggers, fitted T-shirts, and trendy trainers to provide comfort and simple style. Harrington jackets are designed to be functional and fashionable, perfect for those weekend outings and casual meetups.

Styling Tips:

●      Monochromatic colours for a sleek, cohesive fit.

●      Add a baseball cap, a canvas backpack, and maybe some headphones to signal you’re too cool for small talk.

The Quandrophenia

Throwbacks and retro styling elements are in. A classic polo, tapered trousers, and a Harrington capture the essence of 1960s mod fashion. Harrington jackets often feature traditional tartan linings, making them ideal for those trying to look like they’re in a mod documentary.

Styling Tips:

●      Choose bold colours or patterns for your polo shirt to make a statement.

●      Complete the ensemble with Doc Martens or Chelsea boots for that mod-inspired revival look.

●      Pop your polo collar for extra individuality and attitude.

●      Buy a Vespa if you’re really committed.

The Festival G9

With Summer dates clogged with music festivals; the Harrington is a great layering piece to take with you should it rain or become nippy. Harrington Jackets are lightweight, perfect for tying around your waist or throwing over your shoulder when the sun’s out. Festivals have no real fashion restrictions, so get creative!

Styling Tips:

●      Pick a vibrant, summery-coloured Harrington jacket to stand out in the crowd and help your mates spot you when you’ve wandered off to the bar.

●      Graphic, vintage-inspired band t-shirts are the perfect base layer, paired with distressed denim shorts and trainers you don’t mind wrecking.

●      Accent your look with sunnies, bucket hats or baseball caps.

●      A Paisley bandana in a bold colour could help refine your festival fit.

The Beach Baracuta

The flexible nature of the Harrington jacket is highlighted when layered over a breezy linen shirt. Pair it with fitted or pleated shorts, espadrilles, or boat shoes for a preppy, yacht-owning, rich kid aesthetic.

Styling Tips:

●      To reflect the summertime, opt for a Harrington jacket in lighter shades, such as khaki, beige, white, or pastel colours.

●      Leave the top two linen shirt buttons undone and tuck in one side for a more casual, nonchalance.

●      Add a braided leather belt for a preppy feel or a rope belt if you’re feeling nautical.

The Conclusion

The men’s Harrington Jacket is a timeless, versatile piece of clothing that can be styled for any summer occasion—be it sun-soaked festivals, warm evening dates or coastal drives. Whether your style is modern, retro, or done up to the nines, there’s a range of Harrington jackets for anyone who wants to feel iconic this summer.

Just remember: It’s always jacket weather somewhere!

Essential Things to Know Before Taking Herbal Supplements

Essential Things to Know Before Taking Herbal Supplements

Herbal supplements have surged in popularity as people seek natural alternatives to traditional medications. While these botanical remedies can offer various health benefits, it’s crucial to approach them with knowledge and caution. Unlike medicinal drugs, herbal remedies are not subject to the same rigorous testing and regulations, making it essential to understand their potential risks and benefits before incorporating them into your health regimen.

This guide will help you understand more about herbal aids and supplements to make informed decisions about herbal supplements, ensuring you reap their benefits while minimizing potential risks. Let’s see the essential considerations before you start taking herbal supplements.

Not All Herbs Are Created Equal: Quality Matters

The quality of herbal supplements can vary significantly depending on the manufacturer, sourcing, and processing methods. Some products may contain contaminants or lower concentrations of active ingredients, while others may be of superior quality and purity. So, let’s see what you must do to ensure you get the right supplements and herbal aids.

  1. Choose brands that are transparent about their sourcing and manufacturing processes. Look for certifications like “Good Manufacturing Practices” (GMP) or “Certified Organic.”
  2. Pay attention to the list of ingredients and avoid products with fillers, artificial colors, or flavors.
  3. Whenever possible, choose supplements that are sourced from sustainable and ethical sources.

Dosage and Interactions: Proceed with Caution

Herbal supplements are not always benign, and taking them in excessive amounts or combining them with certain medications can lead to adverse effects.

  1. Before taking an herbal supplement, especially if you are taking medications or suffer from a medical condition, talk to your doctor. They can help you with the appropriate dosage and identify potential interactions.
  2. You should always start with a lower dose of a herbal supplement and gradually increase it if needed. This allows your body to adjust and diminishes the risk of side effects.
  3. Some herbs can interact with medications, so you must inform your healthcare provider about all your supplements.

Herbal Supplements and Medications: A Complex Relationship

While some herbal supplements can be safely combined with medications, others can interfere with their effectiveness or cause adverse reactions. You must be aware of the potential interactions and discuss them with your healthcare provider.

  1. Blood-thinning herbs: Herbs like ginkgo biloba, garlic, and ginger can have blood-thinning effects and may interact with anticoagulant medications.
  2. Liver-toxic herbs: Certain herbs, such as kava and comfrey, can potentially damage the liver, especially if you use high doses or take them for extended periods.
  3. Herbs affecting blood sugar: Some herbs, like ginseng and cinnamon, can affect blood sugar levels and may interact with diabetes medications.

Research and Evidence: Separating Fact from Fiction

The effectiveness of herbal aids and remedies varies extensively; not all claims are backed by scientific evidence. It’s essential to be a discerning consumer and rely on reliable sources of information. For example, if you’re considering kratom capsules, it’s crucial to research thoroughly, find only certified sources and vendors, consult with a healthcare professional, and use it with caution.

Here are other things you could do to ensure you take your plant-based remedies safely:

  1. Seek information from reputable sources, such as clinical trials, peer-reviewed scientific journals, or well-respected health organizations.
  2. Personal testimonials can be helpful, but they shouldn’t be your decision’s sole basis. Look for scientific evidence to support the claims made about a particular herb.
  3. If you’re unsure about a particular herbal supplement’s effectiveness or safety, consult a medical doctor or a qualified herbalist.

Special Considerations: Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Children

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should be careful about using herbal supplements, as some herbs may not be safe. Similarly, children should only take herbal aids under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

  1. Always talk to your doctor before taking any herbal supplements if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering giving them to a child.
  2. Due to potential risks, certain herbs, such as black cohosh and goldenseal, are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  3. If you’re looking for herbal remedies during pregnancy or breastfeeding, opt for gentle and well-researched options like ginger for nausea or chamomile for relaxation.

Empower Yourself with Knowledge Before Taking Herbal Supplements

Herbal aids and remedies can be a wonderful addition to your diet and health regimen, but you must approach them with knowledge and caution. By understanding the potential risks and benefits, choosing high-quality products, and consulting with healthcare professionals, you can make informed decisions and reap the rewards of natural healing. Remember, herbal supplements are not a replacement for conventional medicine but a complementary approach to achieving optimal health and well-being.

Breathing In: Alison Watt Solo Exhibition at Levy Gorvy Dayan in New York

When was the last time you contemplated the delicate fold of a napkin? Or the shadowy creases in your tablecloth? Alison Watt’s hyperrealistic paintings, currently on display at Levy Gorvy Dayan in New York, are contemplations of tender moments like these. Her large paintings, mostly in shades of white with other slightly muted colors, are an expressive yet subtle meditation on simple objects and their narratives. In a video made by the National Galleries of Scotland, Watt explained “I paint almost every day. It’s an emotional experience for me.” 

In the video, she continued, “although in these paintings, the body is not explicitly represented in the cloth, it’s still echoed in the landscape of the cloth. For me, the paintings are about an absent presence.” Though Watt’s cloths hang on their own, to a ghostly extent, it’s easy to imagine what the objects would represent if details were added, and the humans who would inhabit the spaces. In her painting “Holland” (2021-22) a tablecloth seems to be floating in mid-air, though perfectly intact in its shape as if it were resting on a table, as in “Glanville” (2021-22), another variation of the same imagery. Watt’s shadows are stark, almost to the point of feeling exaggerated. 

I was struck by the painting titled “Reversed Canvas” (2017), which is exactly what its title suggests, the back of a canvas: a depiction of staples on the linen cloth, the texture of a canvased wood. Seeing the back of a canvas as an image painted on a canvas is a disorienting sight. It exposes the viewer to the very essence that is creating a painting, as if she were opening the curtain on herself, like a magician revealing all her tricks before the trick itself. But Watt’s tricks pose more questions than answers and her “absent presences” will only make you want to look at her paintings more – to try and decipher their quiet, simple beauty.

Album Review: John Cale, ‘POPtical Illusion’

Album Review: John Cale, ‘POPtical Illusion’

The cover artwork and title of John Cale’s eighteenth solo album and second within a year suggests yet another reinvention. Restlessly curious and intent on stretching the boundaries of his songcraft – or, to steal his own wordplay, making an illusion of pop music – Cale was not going to make the same record twice. But looking beyond their contrasting covers, it’s clear that POPtical Illusion and MERCY arose from the same well of inspiration during the pandemic; before becoming an octogenarian in 2022, Cale wrote over 80 songs in a period of a little less than a year. The new album is no afterthought, however; the sounds are as densely layered and kaleidoscopic, the emotion undiluted yet delightfully obtuse. The smirking humour and playfulness of the album’s presentation seeps through to the music, but it’s pervaded by the same darkness that hung over MERCY – only less dour, more hopeful, and weirder still.

Perhaps it’s way Cale structures and positions himself in these songs that makes all the difference. MERCY was a largely collaborative album that featured guest appearances from artists like Weyes Blood, Laurel Halo, Animal Collective, and Tei Shei, while POPtical Illusion finds him burrowing “mostly alone into mazes of synthesizers and samples, organs and pianos,” according to press materials. The aloneness can be heard, but the key word here is “mostly.” Cale isn’t one to dwell on the past, but like MERCY, the new record is haunted by it, though it’s more of an internal dialogue, and we’re left wondering (or projecting) who the imagined other is. “There’s someone whispering in my ear tonight,” he intones on the opening track, ‘God Make Me Do It (don’t ask me again)’, offsetting its ominous trudge with the tender promise of “bringing them home tonight.” The night is ripe with hope and memory, where songs and stories are passed along, and, on the strangely ebullient  ‘Davies and Wales’, regret can turn into possibility: “If you’ve done things you’d wished you’ve never done/ Think of the things you’re going to do tonight.”

But it’s also where anger, so widely cast out at the world on MERCY, turns inward. POPtical Illusion is not without its fierce moments: the industrial ‘Company Commander’ rages at “the rightwingers burning their libraries down” (an easy target, admittedly), while the equally danceable and noisy ‘Shark-Shark’ churns in trepidation of an invisible yet pervasive threat. It’s interesting how, rather than descending into chaos, ‘Company Commander’ opts for a shimmery fadeout; it sounds like Cale isn’t so interested in stoking the fire. But the hour-long album, which mostly trades the dreamy soundscapes and fractured R&B of its predecessor for hip-hop and funk influences, also gives him the space to be earnest and forthright – to the point where we literally get a song called ‘I’m Angry’, which does away with metaphor and softens the feeling back to its melancholy foundation. With all the grooves reduced to mist, Cale finally calls out: “Who’s that dancing?” This intimacy – sometimes somber, mostly dreamlike – stretches through the entrancing ‘Laughing in My Sleep’, so tender despite its mechanized percussion, and it defines its most beautifully radiant highlight, ‘How We See the Light’.

On the song, Cale sings about learning a lesson “in the quiet ways of love,” and maybe that’s why he favours – or at least leans on – the quiet over the disquieting, which was MERCY’s dominant mood. With a gentle melody floating over its thumping drum machines and steady piano stabs, Cale verbalizes the questions that are often left hanging in the shadows of these songs: “Can I close another chapter in the way we run our lives?/ More decisive in the future, or deliberate in the end?” When Cale sings about the end – of a relationship, in this case, though it can mean so much more – he always seems to sing of the future; how far its edges can be pushed, how frantically and unexpectedly the past is bound to repeat itself. “We’ve been here so many times before,” he sings on the closer ‘There Will Be No River’, “But there was something you‘d see/ Or something you’d hear/ That made you come back again.” The reason, quite simply, is that it’s never quite the same.

Fontaines D.C. Unveil New Single ‘Favourite’

Fontaines D.C. have released ‘Favourite’, the second preview of their upcoming fourth album Romance. Vocalist Grian Chatten describes the song, which arrives on the heels of lead single ‘Starburster’, as having “this never-ending sound to it, a continuous cycle from euphoria to sadness, two worlds spinning forever.” Check it out via the accompanying video, self-directed by the band, below.

Fontaines D.C.’s Conor Deegan had this to say about the clip:

This video is a reminiscing of the past; of each other’s childhoods we didn’t know. To see people we know on an intimate level as adults in the tender ages of childhood, we explore where we came from, and who on some level, still are. I see a lot of familiar faces being pulled, and the antics these lads are undertaking in their videos are so disarming and vulnerable to see. I am at times reminded of boyish mannerisms that they’ve grown out of in the time I’ve known them – and some that they haven’t. I feel their souls there.

I would like this video to serve as a way of honouring our friendships, and moving from that, the relationships we hold dear. Our mothers, fathers, siblings, aunties and uncles, grandmothers and grandfathers. Those who we still have, and those we have sadly lost.

We haven’t lost that connection to each other, and are not afraid to come of age again, holding on to romance in a sometimes trying world.

Romance arrives August 23 via XL Recordings.

Oceanator Shares New Songs ‘First Time’ and ‘Be Here’

Oceanator has released a pair of songs, ‘First Time’ and ‘Be Here’, from the forthcoming album Everything Is Love and Death. They follow lead single ‘Get Out’. Take a listen below.

“‘First Time’ and ‘Be Here’ very much live in the same world for me,” Elise Okusami explained in a statement. “They’re describing the same day – one kind of in the afternoon, and one overnight. First Time is what I’ve been calling my Thin Lizzy song, with the harmonizing guitar riff. And Be Here is a little more floaty, synth-y, less in your face-y. Will Yip played drums and my brother Michael played bass on First Time, but Be Here is all me on everything! It was super fun to record all those parts and have the song come together. Even though they sound different I really wanted them to live together, and I’m stoked to be releasing them as a double single.”

Everything Is Love and Death comes out August 30 via Polyvinyl.

Xiafei Li: A Multifaceted Art Photographer Entering London’s Creative Scene

In the vibrant creative atmosphere of central London shines a dazzling new star—Xiafei Leah Li. As an artist, her name has begun to make waves in the capital’s art scene. Leveraging her solid photography skills, superb painting abilities and a delicate approach to her works, Xiafei Li has brought an unprecedented burst of colour to London’s artistic landscape.

Let’s delve into Xiafei Li’s world together and witness how she creates captivating art in this city full of creativity.

With a sharp eye for capturing fleeting moments that often escape notice and bold contrast of subjects chosen, Xiafei Li’s works are impressive not only in terms of her technical prowess but also in her deliberate and delicate artistic expression and narrative depth. The decisive choice of subjects, colours, and subtle play of shades of colours invites the audience into a wonder world of nature, human and civilisation in the artist’s eye.

Xiafei Li captivates viewers with her manipulation of colours and lighting. With purposeful contrasts used in lights and shades, seen in her works, she tells her story through moments captured in nature, of humans and streets of the UK. The stories told in her still images are artistic, aesthetically pleasing,and inviting, they are to be enjoyed and contemplated with.

In her works titled ‘Purple’, she captures shades of pink and purple, colours not common in natural settings, and complement them with the delicate hues familiar to the British southern coastline. The depth and richness of her palettes are a testament to her skills and vision, the different gradients inviting exploration and contemplation. Her meticulous attention to detail and understanding of the interplay between hues and shadows greatly elevate her works.

Another feature of Li’s artistry is her use of contrasting subjects and juxtaposition. Within her works, the serenity of natural landscapes with the dynamic energy of urban environments create a unique visual dialogue that is not found in conventional perspectives. This interplay of clam and chaos, nature and civilization, introduces a sense of tension and harmony that highlights the disparity between the elements in our world. The use of contrasting subjects and lights and shadows add depth and intensity to her work.

The value of Xiafei’s works also lies in the interaction and reflection of the audience. Xiafei stimulates the audience’s imagination and thinking, prompting them to delve deeper into the emotional narrative behind the works. This interaction and reflection not only enrich the audience’s artistic experience but also stimulate reflections on themes such as femininity and humanity. Her bold play on colours and dramatic lighting adds intensity to pictures. Strong contrasts often evoke a sense of drama, but is balanced off by the soothing colour palette of the picture. Audiences can see themes of exploration of richer and deeper cultural experiences in Xiafei Li’s creations. She does not shy away from themes of femininity and sometimes sexuality; through deeper emotional expression and thematic exploration, her works leave a profound and lasting impression on the audience.

In terms of photography techniques, Xiafei Li’s works are full of professional techniques and exquisite skills. She demonstrates a deep understanding and precise grasp of photographic art while excels in using various photography techniques and professional equipment to capture subtle details and emotional expressions in images. She skillfully employs changes in lighting and shadows, lens focal lengths, and composition layouts to imbue each frame with vivid atmosphere and emotional appeal. Through these editing skills and fine art techniques collected over the years, she vividly presents different narratives to the audience, immersing and guiding them along her creative journey.

Compared to some other artistic photographers, Xiafei Li exhibits a unique artistic style. Her works draw elements of practicality from commercial photography to complement the creativity of artistic photography, presented in a novel and attention-grabbing, thought-invoking manner. Compared to traditional artistic photography, her works prioritise storytelling and emotional expression, making them more relatable to the audience’s life and emotional experiences. Through careful conceptualization and meticulous refinement, Xiafei Li injects each project with a unique visual language and emotional resonance, offering the audience a series of audiovisual feasts.

Xiafei Li has injected new vitality into London’s creative scene with her outstanding talent and rich experience, and is emerging as one of the leaders driving industry development. With each click of her camera, her artistic journey is sure to shine even brighter, painting a narrative infused with new depts of experiences and evolution. Anticipation hangs in the air as we await the unveiling of Xiafei Li’s forthcoming creations and exhibitions in the London art photography community.
