Jordan Turner interviews Lyndon Collins Watts with photos by Zelia Rose, Elfy gives an 'F' to Balenciaga, and I share everything I bought this month. The giveaway is a $200 Nico gift voucher.

Welcome to December’s Style edition. It is very! Strong! Scroll on to get some premium, pointed content:

• In my editor’s letter I’ve been thinking a lot about hair—grey, sleek, Michelle Obama’s comments the other week, a childhood anecdote, etcetera—plus some reflections on the Black Friday sales and Alessandro Michele leaving Gucci

• Jordy has interviewed Hamilton star Lyndon Collins Watts, discussing gender and expression with style, and Zelia Rose photographed Lyndon on film

• In Elfy’s report card we go from high highs (Ganni!) to low lows (Balenciaga!)

• Three recommendations for things you’ll want to buy that aren’t brand new

• What I’ve bought for my home, face, and body—everything I’ll be wearing in December and why

• What I’d buy if I had tons of cash

• The giveaway is a very generous $200 gift voucher to ethical underwear legends, Nico

A recent reader poll told me that News & Reviews readers come from an evenly distributed and remarkably wide range of annual incomes. Broke students? Trust fund babies? Welcome, all of you! Style and Nerd special editions each fortnight are long and juicy. I pay my talented team to bring you excellent interviews and cutting commentary, so if you value it, and you want to keep it ad-free, you should pay for it too.
