Most Loving Cats 2025: These are the 16 breeds of feline that just love cuddles - including the affectionate Persian

4 . Sphynx
The fact that the Sphynx doesn't have any hair means it can get a bit chilly - and its owner's body heat is just the ticket for it to warm up. That means there will always be cuddles. Plus this breed of cat just naturally loves snuggles - and play - even if it's warm enough, so expect plenty of purrs at the same time. These are seriously loving cats. Sadly, there are also issues with having no hair, with these cats predisposed to skin problems and sunburn. | Canva/Getty Images

Goodbye Boring T-Shirts – This Is The Chic Top Fashion People Can't Stop Wearing

Damson Madder, Cassia Shrunken Rugby Ganni, Multicolour Striped Rib Tank Top COS, Clean Cut Regular T-shirt Arket, Short-Sleeve Polo Shirt Faithfull The Brand, Antibes Striped Linen Top Monki, Open-Knit Cotton Tank Top Glassworks, Green Rainbow Striped Cropped Tee Aligne, Char Boucle Striped Top Reformation, Rowan Crew Tee With Nothing Underneath, Devon Jumper ME + EM, Striped Pouf Sleeve Tee Free People, Sailor Tube Co-Ord Every August, Copenhagen Fashion Week is splashed across our social media feeds (and our saved folders) with looks that are playful yet somehow completely put-together. As always, the Scandi girls showed up this year with their signature mix of minimalism-meets-maximalism that somehow looks so effortless. Think flip-flops with frocks, granny-chic crochet bandanas, dresses worn over trousers and chaotic layering that really shouldn't work, but absolutely does. But amidst the more out there 'wait, can I actually pull that off?' looks, one trend stood out for the simple fact that it was more wearable than most: stripes. More specifically, striped tops with their preppy edge across polos, tank tops, and even tube tops. The city looked like it was hosting a colourful remake of Beetlejuice , and I'll be honest, we're definitely into it. ©Getty Images/Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho/Jacopo Raule Of course, stripes have been slowly making a splash across runways all year. Take Miu Miu, for example, where cropped striped polos and crewnecks have been walking the catwalk for a few seasons now, in shades ranging from classic navy and white to orange and red mustard with brown. Over at Bottega Veneta's SS25 show, a striped scarf top was paired with a matching midi skirt, while Chanel Cruise 25 showed an array of striped co ords. Miu Miu, Striped T-Shirt While 2025's stripe resurgence has largely been centred around bright combinations, the more classic Breton striped tops are still as chic as ever. Beloved by French girls everywhere and elegant dressers such as Kate Middleton, nautical navy and white striped tops and jumpers are just as popular, adding a touch of polish to the trend.

For a smart casual look, style a long-sleeved top with tailored bermuda shorts and loafers (a combination popular with countless influencers). Alternatively, opt for a cropped polo à la Miu Miu, paired with high-rise jeans, like Janka Polliani. Gabriella Karefa Johnson at Copenhagen Fashion Week ©Getty Images/Christian Vierig If your style is more whimsical, take notes from Gabriela Karefa Johnson, who mixed and matched shades with careful abandon – pairing her sorbet-hued striped polo with a white and navy lined mini and a red breton-striped jacket tied around the waist. For a more chaotic Gen Z-approved look, layer your striped top under a slinky slip dress over trousers or style a baggy striped polo with a lace skirt and suede trainers. Of course, if you're looking to splurge, there are plenty of designer options from Miu Miu to Faithfull The Brand. However, if you haven't quite budgeted three figures for wardrobe staples, the high street is awash with brilliant designs. Case in point, Damson Madder's Cassia rugby top, whose green stripes have proven popular with fashion editors and influencers alike. For a cool girl-approved take, look to Ganni's colourful striped tank, while Reformation offers a chic crewneck. All of which to say, whatever your style, there's a brilliant striped top for you.

Magnificent Scottish Castle offers luxury well experience including sunrise yoga

Crossbasket Castle has launched new wellness retreats featuring yoga, meditation and ice baths after a £20 million revamp. (Image: Crossbasket Castle) A luxury castle just outside Glasgow is inviting guests to embrace tranquillity with a new series of wellness experiences, including sunrise yoga, guided meditation and ice baths. Crossbasket Castle, located around 20 minutes from the city, has expanded its offering following a £20 million redevelopment. The upgrade included the launch of an enhanced restaurant in partnership with Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jr. Now, the historic venue is turning its attention to wellbeing, encouraging visitors to 'step away from the everyday' and reconnect with themselves, Glasgow Live reports. The new wellness series begins with two full-day retreats on Wednesday August 27 and Sunday September 21. Guests will be welcomed with herbal teas or a light spritz before embarking on a day designed to promote movement, mindfulness and rest. The morning sessions will feature guided journaling, breath awareness and gentle yoga, followed by yoga nidra, a deep relaxation practice. A light and nourishing lunch will be served at the castle's Foveran's restaurant, with dishes carefully chosen to complement the retreat's focus on balance and wellbeing.

The day will conclude with a meditative sound bath, designed to leave participants feeling calm and reflective. For those looking for a more immersive experience, Crossbasket Castle will host its first overnight wellness programme, Fire and Ice Luxury Wellness, from Thursday October 2 to Friday October 3. The overnight stay will begin with a welcome to one of the castle's new bedrooms, complete with a curated hamper. Day one includes tailored yoga sessions and intention setting, followed by an evening of guided meditation, breathwork and a Release and Let Go fire pit ceremony. Guests will then enjoy herbal teas and healthy bedtime snacks in the Stewart Room to promote a restful night's sleep. The following morning will open with an energising sunrise yoga session before guests are guided through Wim Hof breathwork and an invigorating ice bath. All activities will be led by experienced and qualified instructors. Throughout the retreat, nourishing menus crafted by the executive chef will aim to support gentle detox and renewal. Prices start from £95 per person for the one-day retreats, with the overnight package from £395 based on two sharing. In addition to its wellness events, Crossbasket Castle will also host its third creative art workshop on Thursday 23 October. The Handmade Journals workshop, led by therapeutic artist Kim Flower, offers participants the chance to craft and sew their own personalised art journals.
