DAPPER DENIM Surprisingly, jeans are the wardrobe staple that many of us get wrong. An unsightly gap between your shoe and ankle, a gathering of material at the front or sagging at the back… These are all signs of ill-fitting jeans, but this doesn’t have to be your denim fate. Hannah Dalzell, stylist for The Chapar (thechapar.com), a leading men’s online personal shopping service, knows that finding killer jeans is easier than you think. And it starts with colour and fit… “Every man should own a pair of well-fitted indigo jeans,” says Hannah. “Don’t be afraid to try slim fit – it doesn’t have to be skin-tight, but baggy denim is over. One of the most popular cuts is tapered fit. This follows the shape of the leg, offering more…

The problem with running-shoe grip is that it isn’t usually very durable. That looks set to change as running shoe manufacturer inov-8 has teamed with the University of Manchester’s National Graphene Institute to claim a world-first tech breakthrough: graphene-infused shoes. At just one atom thick, graphene is the thinnest material on Earth, yet it’s also 200 times stronger than steel. So when invo-8’s G-Series shoes arrive in the spring, you’ll be wearing the world’s strongest, stretchiest, grippiest and most resistant soles.…

This March, Qantas will launch the first direct flight between Australia (Perth) and the UK, and the airline has suggested that direct flights between the UK and Sydney could start by 2022, by which time there will be even more reasons to book a trip down under. Hotel-wise, we’re particularly excited about the W Brisbane, due to open this spring – it’s the luxury hotel brand’s first property in Australia. We’re also pretty certain that a large number of those making use of the UK to Sydney route will make a beeline for the recently opened Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour. It’s the first new-build international luxury hotel to open in the city’s central business district this millennium. For something totally different, head to Cambodia for a walk on the wild…

Ikea’s ubiquitous reputation as a DIY furniture manufacturer has been almost matched, at least in recent years, by its nous as a lighting supplier. The firm’s low-cost bulbs have converted many homes from compact fluorescent to longer-lasting LED. Now the Swedish giant has taken the next step, entering the world of smart lighting. There’s a wide-ranging selection under its Trådfri banner – individual dimmers, bulbs of different sizes and regions of the white light spectrum, sensors, and smart lighting panels for your furniture – as well as 10-bulb remote controls and, naturally, a router bridge to control the lot via a mobile phone app. And while we’re showing you how to set up the basic gateway kit (£65, including two E27 bulbs, the gateway and a remote) it’s worth pointing…

“WE KNEW IT WAS NO SMALL THING TO DECIDE TO REPLACE TOUCH ID” Interviewing tech company executives is something of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you can expect them to be right on message with the company line. On the other, you can expect some insights that those further down the chain would feel beyond their station. And so when I was invited to meet Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, I went to the London apartment where our meeting was due to take place with some excitement about our discussion, which spanned some 40 minutes and a whole host of topics. Among other things, we talked about the new iMac Pro, Apple’s move into AR, the delay to HomePod and the process to get…

But thankfully, the 13.5-inch edition has already made it to these shores. The Surface range has always been designed to showcase what Windows is capable of – and to take the fight for high-performance mobile computing to Apple. Microsoft has made no secret of the fact it’s targeting Apple’s creative heartland, and the success and usefulness of the Surface Pen is a big part…

OLED 4K TV SONY A1 SERIES Incredible 4K HDR is only a tiny part of this awesome package. The panel (55- or 65-inch) and bezel are super-slim, it offers lightning response times, and great sound comes from a screen that’s also a speaker. From £2,800, sony.co.uk TOP-END 4K TV LOEWE BILD 9 Loewe creates art just as much as it does high-end AV equipment, and its towering, sculptural bild 9 TV is as attractive as it is exquisitely powerful, with a hidden soundbar and top picture quality. £8,990, loewe.tv VALUE 4K BLU-RAY PLAYER XBOX ONE S Yes, this is primarily a games console, but it’s a damn good UHD Blu-ray player too. Why pay more for something that just plays discs when you could be getting your game on with…

ANDROID PHONE SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 Tremendously fast, with an Infinity Display that almost completely eliminates bezels, cameras that work in any light, and iris-scanning security. Samsung’s flagship is as much an experience as it is a phone. From £579, samsung.com MID-RANGE PHONE HONOR 9 Coming in at half the price of a flagship phone, this is truly a hidden gem. It looks great, with a diffracted curved glass finish, and its cost completely belies its specs – especially its excellent dual cameras. £379, hihonor.com SMARTWATCH APPLE WATCH SERIES 3 Nothing in the smartwatch market does more than the Apple Watch, and this third generation can do it all without a tethered phone – perfect for keeping your life in order whatever you happen to be doing. From £329, apple.com/uk ANALOGUE…

Matt Bolton Editor Matt hauled himself out of the Christmas mire to go and try out Renault’s self-driving car of the future (p24), and came back raving about embracing our new artificial intelligence overlords. JO GULLIVER Senior Art editor Jo’s got a new phone, so is upgrading to wireless charging (p96). In quieter moments, you might catch her dropping her phone on the pad and giggling when the charging icon appears. ANDREW WE STBROOK Operations editor Andy’s ready to take the leap into smart lighting, and is looking at Ikea’s new bulbs (p54), since the low cost means he can do his whole house and finally beat the kids’ light-switch laziness. SPENCER HART Product Editor, t3.com Spencer spent most of this issue in Las Vegas, at CES (he claims). He’s…

WHICH WATCH TRIWA PINE FALKEN Jump on the green face bandwagon with Triwa’s 1950s style Quartz watch.

Culture vultures are flocking to Poland, and the capital, Warsaw, will soon hold even more appeal, because March will see the opening of the five-star Raffles Europejski. Raffles’ newest property will open in the cobbled historic district, next to the Presidential Palace. Nearby attractions include the Historical Museum of Warsaw and the Adam Mickiewicz Museum of Literature, a tribute to Poland’s greatest writer. For an additional culture fix, head over the border to the German city of Hamburg, officially known as the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg (try saying that with a mouthful of bratwurst). Its name reflects its historical importance to the Hanseatic League, founded in the 14th century by north German towns and merchant communities abroad to protect their trading interests.

AMAZON ECHO After a recent firmware update, Trådfri lights are compatible with Alexa. Just add the relevant Alexa skill to toggle or dim your lights with your voice. They’re also Apple HomeKit-compatible, if that’s your jam – and you’ll find the connect code in the Trådfri app. SAMSUNG SMARTTHINGS HUB Thanks to their compatibility with Zigbee Light Link, Trådfri lights can be linked to the Smartthings hub by adding them as a Hue-compatible device. If you’re serious about taking your smart home to the next level, a Smartthings hub is a great way to control multiple brands. TRÅDFRI MOTION SENSOR You can drastically increase the usefulness of your lights with Ikea’s £16 motion sensor. Set it to turn your landing light on super-dim only in the middle of the night,…

Before we tackle the big boys, let’s single out the little gem: the incredibly slight Spectre is a design and engineering marvel. Retaining the super-slimline form of earlier iterations, it’s about the same size as an A4 magazine, both in thickness and in edge-to-edge dimensions. It’s flat and clean, making a statement not with bright bling, but by being calm, cool, focused and really small. The Spectre’s screen hinges up over a bump at the rear, revealing a keyboard that, despite the base being only slightly thicker than the screen itself, has a decent amount of travel and a comfortable feel. There are certainly compromises here – notably the fact that you’ll need a dongle to expand beyond the Spectre’s three on-board USB-C ports – but we’re inclined to forgive…

I’m so excited about this issue of T3, because we get to bring you the results of some seriously exciting invitations we recently received. First, we went to the new French GP Formula 1 circuit to drive an actual F1 car. When you’re watching at home, it’s so easy to idly wonder how hard it really is to keep control of those things. It turns out to be somehow both easier and even more complex than you might think – you can read about our whole experience on p84. We also got an exclusive chance to sit down with Phil Schiller, Apple’s VP of marketing, and a common face at its keynote presentations. I’m not sure he’s going to change anyone’s opinion of Apple products one way or another, but…

DRESS LIKE THE JACKET Michael B Jordan has a penchant for bomber jackets paired with slim fitting jeans and retro sneakers. Nab Karl Lagerfeld’s Varsity Bomber (£425, farfetch.com/uk) and channel Michael’s look. THE T-SHIRT When wearing a t-shirt like Michael’s Coach Smiley Tee (€145/£127.47, endclothing.com/eu), keep the rest of your outfit low-key to enhance the knock-out blow of your statement piece. THE SHOES Nike’s Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG (£129.95) have sold out in the Black/Varsity Red colour worn by Michael, but you can still buy them in Black/University Red and Elemental Gold (store.nike.com/us/en_us). MONEY NO OBJECT Elevate your game with luxe cufflinks Designed in Antwerp, the diamond capital of the world, and available as part of Oh My Got’s Classic collection, these timeless Moonstones Cufflinks will add poise…

There’s DOT and ECE approval, a double D-ring strap, and you even get audio pockets for your communication system. £184, biltwellinc.com BELL BULLIT The modern-retro helmet scene doesn’t get any more classic than the Bell Bullit. With its clean lid style, optional bubble screen and gorgeous colourways, you’ll spend more time posing than riding. Features DOT and ECE approval and a D-ring strap. £400, bellhelmets.com…

Valentine’s Day is nearly here, and if you want to impress your loved one this year, Leicestershire’s Ragdale Hall Health Hydro and Thermal Spa (ragdalehall.co.uk) is an excellent, luxurious bet. Housed in a sprawling Victorian manor house, the choice of treatments is incredible, from flotations to facials and reiki. There’s a candle pool, outdoor waterfall pool, volcanic salt bath, colourflow cave and, coming soon, an infinity rooftop pool from which to admire the comely countryside. A Cupid’s Couples Day package starts from £249 per couple, with other options available. In Surrey meanwhile, Pennyhill Park Hotel (from £580, exclusive.co.uk/the-spa) is just 16 miles from Heathrow Airport.

OAKLEY AIRWAVE 1.5 If you have cash to spare, Oakley’s Airwave 1.5 are hard to beat. A built-in display integrates GPS, Bluetooth and onboard sensors to provide instant access to jump analytics (max speed, max air, etc), plus live mapping, buddy tracking and smartphone notifications. £450, oakley.com DRAGON ALLIANCE X2S This stylish goggle features patented Frameless tech, 200-per-cent-stronger Super Anti Fog coating, and a Swiftlock lens changing system. The design was dreamt up by snowboarding legend Bryan Iguchi. £185, dragonalliance.com WINDELLS X ANON MIG Wear glasses? Try Windells’s MIG over-the-glass (OTG) goggles. The company’s invested in Spherical Lens tech, which mimics the curvature of your eye, and has fitted the X Anon MIGs with Zeiss Sonar lenses. £155, burton.com/uk/en…

What price freedom from infestation? A couple of hundred quid to the rat man, who chuckled at Guru’s rubbish electronic rodent repellers, put down a bunch of dehydrating (and, judging by the noise, absolutely delicious) bait, pointed out the massive hole in GaGu’s garage where the rats were getting in, and made friends with the family’s ineffective cats. By way of an apology to the felines after giving them the blame, Guru bought them a new gadget to ignore: the Frolicat Bolt (£26). It uses its motorised mirror to spang around a laser that they absolutely don’t care about, although to be fair, the manufacturer does say that “an intangible toy does not make for long-lasting fun”. Speaking of intangible toys, Guru’s begrudging purchase of a new cloth-covered Amazon Echo…

After a 10-year absence, F1 will return to France next summer when the French Grand Prix takes place at the Circuit Paul Ricard (which we tried out – see p84), near Marseille in Provence. And if Lewis Hamilton fancies a slightly less intense drive afterwards, we’ve got the ultimate road trip – the Route Napoleon. This spectacular journey links Golfe Juan and Grenoble, and winds through two of the country’s prettiest regions: Provence-Alps-Côte d’Azur and Rhône-Alpes. It follows part of the 324-kilometre route taken by Napoleon and his men in 1815, when the exiled French statesman marched from Elba to Grenoble. Equally spectacular (although in a castles, not coastline, sense) is the Romantische Strasse (Romantic Road), which passes through southern Germany. Highlights include the dramatic Neuschwanstein Castle (Disneyland’s version was…

Sometimes, the post-Christmas fallout leaves you wanting to get as far away from people as possible. If that’s you, forget the fairy lights and focus on the Northern Lights with a trip to Lapland – but don’t worry, you won’t find annoyingly perky elves or ruddy-cheeked Santas at the particular destination we’re recommending. At the Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort in Finnish Lapland, you can spend the night in a cosy glass igloo, allowing you to admire the Northern Lights without stepping outside. We’re also huge fans of Sweden’s Icehotel, which became a permanent fixture in 2016. This year’s version will have 35 suites, an ice bar and an ice ceremony hall, and you’ll be able to sign up for Northern Lights snowmobile tours and arctic yoga lessons. Although a word of…

01 DOWNLOAD TRÅDFRI Head to your device’s app store and install the free Trådfri app. Once it’s installed, open it up, agree to the terms and conditions, click the ‘Let’s Get Started’ button, and plug in the hardware. Twist the top of the gateway to open it, plug the Ethernet cable into your router and the USB power cable into the gateway. 02 SYNC UP Tap ‘Next’ and, in theory, the app will detect your newly plugged-in gateway. If it doesn’t, log in to your router and find out its address – look for ‘TRADFRI-Gateway’ or ‘GW’ followed by a bunch of unintelligible characters. Then simply scan the code on the back of the gateway to link everything up together. 03 ADD DEVICES Now link the remote control to your…

SET THE TRIGGER From the Alexa app’s ‘Routines’ section, tap the plus button, then the blue plus next to ‘when this happens’. Choose ‘when you say something’, enter your custom phrase, then tap ‘Save’ to lock down your new routine trigger. ADD AN ACTION Now tap ‘Add action’ to add the first thing you’d like your routine to do. Bear in mind that the actions are triggered in order, so if you want the news before the weather report, make sure you select it first. PICK THE LOCATION If you have more than one Alexa-enabled device in your home or you’ve set them up as a group, you can select where you’d like the routine to spit out its output. Flooding your whole house is only a tap away.…

As you might expect given their 4K specs, it’s fair to say that none of these machines disappoints in the visual department. The Spectre, with its smaller screen, naturally has the greater pixel density, although 4K crushed down to ultraportable laptop size means you’re going to need to press your face pretty close to any of these panels to discern the existence of a pixel. HP’s screen also impresses with its response times – if anything, they’re slightly better than Razer’s efforts. MSI’s panel – the only one here that’s not touch-sensitive – is a little disappointing in terms of colour consistency at different viewing angles, although it’s still bright and rich, with a highly appealing colour range. The Blade Pro, calibrated and configured for gaming, has extremely wide viewing…

£579 remarkable.com Digital detox. That’s not a phrase you’d expect to see in T3, yet it goes hand-in-hand with the ReMarkable, a low-tech tablet aimed at paper lovers craving a digital sketching, reading and writing experience. In an age of digital overwhelm the ReMarkable focuses on work/ study without distractions – save for Wi-Fi to transfer files, it’s an internet-free zone. With the ReMarkable you can read, create, store and transfer documents, notebooks and ebooks (ePub, PDF), though heavy users will chew through the 8GB of memory. You can also bookmark pages, make notes and sketch with the responsive Marker stylus. We love the 10.3-inch Canvas touchscreen display, with its push-button page turners, but creating and transferring files was a mixed bag; the software was glitchy; reading isn’t as dynamic…
