Popeye’s June 2025 issue, ‘Be Adult,’ places a special focus on ageing gracefully. As the team at Popeye wisely observe in this month’s editor’s letter, whilst most of us may still feel like children, we should probably ‘know the rules’ so that we can ‘slowly start climbing the stairs to adulthood.’
Practical is the operative word here, so expect densely packed guides to smart workwear and formalwear, dinner etiquette, selecting the perfect personal scent, plus plenty more useful tips for adulting in style.
According to the editors:
‘Popeye magazine is the “Magazine for City Boys”. The founders printed this on the cover of the magazine when it debuted in 1976. What’s a “city boy”? The term doesn’t appear in the dictionary and no expert panel could define it. So we felt we should explore every aspect of what this “city boy” might be. After decades of debate, it still makes for a topic of lively discussion. It can be a style or a way of thinking. To get an idea of what makes a city boy, read Popeye magazine.'
