What Topics and Sections Does British GQ Cover?

Updated

British GQ (gq-magazine.co.uk) is the UK edition of GQ, aimed at a men's audience and covering style, grooming, culture, watches, and fitness. If you want men's fashion advice, long-form celebrity interviews, or watch and gear coverage written for a British readership, the site is built around those interests. The sections below reflect what the homepage and its current stories actually surface.

Main sections at a glance

What kind of content you'll find

The site mixes several formats rather than sticking to one:

  • Long-form interviews — the Tom Cruise cover story is described as a rare long-form interview, conducted by Zach Baron with photography by Mario Sorrenti.
  • News and commentary — short takes on entertainment and culture, such as casting news for a John le Carré adaptation.
  • Reviews and rankings — lists and buyer-oriented pieces, like the Halloween sneakers roundup.
  • Trend and style reporting — what public figures are wearing and which brands are involved.

Culture coverage in more detail

The culture section leans on film, television, and comedy. Current examples include a Channel 4 and A24 comedy series, a piece on Charlie Brooker's new project, and speculation about the next James Bond. It also runs recurring interview formats such as "GQ Hype," which profiles actors like Mike Faist and George MacKay.

Style and watches coverage

Fashion stories often name specific brands and items rather than staying general — Miu Miu and vintage pieces in the Harry Styles story, for instance. The watches section follows a similar pattern, tying new releases to celebrities who wear them, as with the Tudor GMT story.

Practical notes

  • The site is published in British English (en-GB), so spelling and cultural references follow UK conventions.
  • GQ sells subscriptions and a GQ Box featuring wellness, tech, and grooming items; the homepage currently advertises 60% off the box. Subscription pricing and any login requirements aren't specified in the available information, so check the subscribe page directly if that matters to you.
  • Content is updated frequently, so the specific stories above will rotate out; the section structure is the more stable thing to navigate by.
