Why GQ Magazine is a Must-Read for Every Modern Man

GQ Magazine is a famous quarterly magazine. It talks about many things like clothes, style, and what rich people like. I do not usually read this kind of book, but for this review, I had to.

This book is not like other magazines that only show gossip (cough Cosmo). It gives you lots of good tips to make your life better, in work, love, and style. Here are some reasons why you should read the UK version of Gentleman’s Quarterly.

The Online Version Looks Great, Like the Paper Version

I do not read paper magazine anymore. The old ones got messy, and I do not like waiting for the mail. I can read new ones right online.

The online GQ looks as good as the paper one. The site is clean and easy to use. It does not have too many ads or pop-ups. You can find any article easily with the search tool. The pictures that go with the articles are bright and fun.

Even on older computers, the site works fine.

A Quick Look at Some Key Topics

GQ talks about many things, but I want to tell you about the most important ones.

• Fashion
• I spend most of my time at work and in my office. I do not care much about what clothes I wear. But after reading GQ, I may think differently. If you care about clothes, this part of the book is for you. They also have great info on designer watches.

GQ Talks About More Than Clothes and Fitness

GQ is not just about clothes and working out. There are many other topics.

• Cars and Politics
• The political stories in GQ are not one-sided. They show different views and cover more than the news.
• Sports
• GQ talks about sports in a new way, mixing it with culture and style. It is not just about teams winning or losing.
• Food & Drink
• GQ shows you more than just how to make a good cocktail. They give tips on cool kitchen tools, food gift ideas, and how to eat in style.

They also have some fun videos. These are interviews with stars, fun quizzes, and talks with famous people.

Get the Best Style and Better Products

I usually do not care about branded clothes, but GQ has cool stuff. They sell things like Zippo lighters, bandannas, and rings. Some items are expensive, but they are nice. Wearing things with the GQ brand helps you look better and get more attention.

They also have special GQ Best Boxes. These boxes come with clothes, tools for grooming, and more. The items are worth over $200, but you can get them for just $50.

GQ’s Newsletters: A Great Way to Stay Updated

What is a great online magazine without a newsletter? GQ has three good ones:

• GQ Daily: This one shows the best articles from the website.
• GQ Commuter: This one has the most important story of the day.
• GQ Recommends: This one shares new products and sales.

You can sign up for one, two, or all three newsletters. It’s up to you.

GQ Offers Jobs, Which Is Cool

GQ does not have an affiliate program, but they are hiring people. The jobs are only for those in the UK (or who are okay with moving to London).

• Advertising Jobs: This job helps you learn how to sell, write ads, and talk with clients.
• Temporary Jobs: These are short-term jobs that change with the seasons.

GQ offers health care, vacation days, and more benefits, even for temporary workers.

My Final Thoughts

Even though GQ is not my favorite magazine, it has lots of good information for men (and women who want to understand men). You should read it.
