Magazines are a great source of inspiration, not just fashion and style but lifestyle in general. However, there is a downside. Magazine subscriptions can cost up to a little fortune and once you flip through the glossy pages, you don’t really know what to do with them other than light up your fireplace. And where there’s a problem, there’s also a solution, a great one. Mr. Porter has already released its 188th issue of The Journal, an online magazine that inspires with style and brings newsworthy stories to the screen of your laptop. From travel and music, to latest fashion pieces featured in their store, The Journal is all that a modern man needs to get on track with the latest happenings in fashion and life. Here are their best editions…
