Best Saltwater Tropical Fish 2025: These are the 13 most popular fish for marine and reef aquariums - including the Blue Tang
Also known at the Regal Tang, the Blue Tang is certainly a royal-looking fish thanks to its stunning blue body and yellow tail. You'll need a large aquarium to house these fish because they are very active swimmers. They will get on with other fish, although can be territorial when it comes to other Tangs. Nemo's best pal Dory is a Blue Tang. Just keep swimming! | Canva/Getty Images

Wondering What The Lionesses Wore This Weekend? You Can Shop Their Exact Looks Now
@Getty Images/RICHARD POHLE M&S, Straight Short Sleeve Single Breasted Blazer M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Barrel Leg Trousers M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Soft Green M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Black Nobody's Child, Cream Double Breasted Cropped Waistcoat ASOS Design, Linen Look Asymmetric Button Front Waistcoat Zara, ZW Collection Asymmetric Waistcoat Mint Velvet, Taupe Short Sleeve Longline Blazer Zara, ZW Collection Straight-Leg Trousers Few things bring the nation together like our national football team winning a major trophy. It's a tale as old as time: a country collectively losing its voice, nerves and any sense of decorum over a football game. Of course, there are also hundreds of stereotypes that unite us, like our love of tea, fish and chips and the pure joy we feel when another bank holiday is announced. But nothing feels as exciting as seeing our Lionesses win the UEFA European Women's Championship, for the second time, might I add. After a 1-1 draw at full time, the match went to penalties, where Chloe Kelly, scored the winning goal. While the rest of us were dressed head-to-toe in football kits with flags in hand, the Lionesses returned home on Monday wearing pieces from their own collaboration with another British legend, Marks & Spencer. The limited-edition collection, made up of 13 pieces, launched ahead of the tournament on 26th June, and is the final drop from the three-year partnership between the English FA and M&S - though the brand's relationship with the sport stretches all the way back to 2007. And, much like the Lionesses' performance this summer, the M&S X England collection doesn't disappoint. ©Getty Images/Dan Kitwood The best part of the collection? You don't have to win a major trophy or even be on the field to wear it. In fact, the collection is packed full of tailored co-ords and structured separates, a world away from muddy socks and battered shinpads. Maddy Evans, Director of M&S Women, describes it as: 'championing style and versatility and underpinned by new modern shapes, it's a collection for an incredible team of women, who are role models to the nation.' A couple of standouts from the collaboration include its Tailored Pleat Front Barrel Leg Trousers, and its Straight Short Sleeve Single Breasted Blazer that's perfect for those office days where it's far too hot to wear a full-sleeved blazer. It will probably come as no surprise that the collection has been met with quite the reaction - much of it is already out of stock online and in stores. But, there are a couple of pieces still available, if (and that's a big if), you move fast. ©Instagram/@irma_bruzaite M&S, Straight Short Sleeve Single Breasted Blazer If you're on the hunt for a blazer you can wear in the warmer months, M&S has the answer. Cut in a flattering fit, the blazer has smart notched lapels, as well as handy welt pockets. Style with a pair of tailored trousers or boxy shorts. If you're currently wondering what to wear to celebrate the Lionesses' win, the answer may not lie in your vintage England shirt and bucket hat, but in a crisp pair of pleated Bermuda shorts and a waistcoat top. Shop the pieces that are still available, as well as excellent alternatives below. M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Barrel Leg Trousers If you're as obsessed with barrel leg jeans as I am, you're going to want to take a look at M&S' Barrel Leg Trousers. Available in two different colours, an ecru and soft green, the trousers feature pleats down the front as well as pockets and belt loops. M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Soft Green If the barrel leg shape isn't your style, and you prefer something a little more timeless, the trousers also come in a wide-leg. Finished with the same soft pleats at the front, pair with a boxy t-shirt and loafers. M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Black The same wide-leg style is also available in a black, which will go with everything you already have in your wardrobe. Nobody's Child, Cream Double Breasted Cropped Waistcoat Nobody's Child has a great alternative if you want the Lioness look. Its Cropped Waistcoat features a V-neck crossover and double-breasted buttons to bring polish to any outfit, even if you're just wearing jeans. ASOS Design, Linen Look Asymmetric Button Front Waistcoat ASOS also has an asymmetric alternative, this time in a linen-look material that's sure to keep you cool this summer. Finish the outfit with a satin midi skirt and a pair of colourful ballet flats. Zara, ZW Collection Asymmetric Waistcoat Zara is truly in its tailoring era at the moment, as there are so many excellent work outfits on site right now. This asymmetric waistcoat is almost identical to the M&S one spotted on the Lionesses, complete with the same buttoned detailing and dark colour. Mint Velvet, Taupe Short Sleeve Longline Blazer If you, too, want to get in on the short-sleeved blazer hype, I've found another popular style from Mint Velvet. Its peaked lapels, flap pockets and statement button at the front all make it the perfect blazer to wear on office days. Reformation, Wren Blazer Reformation has also designed a short-sleeved blazer, and its style is created with an intentionally slim-fit, yet is also somewhat oversized (so take this as your sign to size down if you like your blazers more fitted). Zara, ZW Collection Straight-Leg Trousers Zara's Straight-Leg Trousers have a high waist that's perfect for pairing with the matching asymmetric waistcoat top and front pockets. Wear as a co-ord, or style the trousers with a boxy tee, leather jacket and Adidas trainers. Gemma Lavers is a fashion commerce writer at Grazia, where she tracks down viral pieces and is as comfortable navigating the M&S new-in page as she is dissecting the latest celebrity look. When not writing, shopping or at Reformer Pilates (a cliché but she's hooked), Gemma will likely be planning her next holiday (and what she's going to wear).

From the archive: Why Picasso?
Photo by Robert DOISNEAU/Gamma-Rapho/Getty Images In 1954, the art critic John Berger went to the Lefevre Gallery, which then stood on London's King Street, to review a new exhibition of Picasso's work. Why is Picasso the most famous living artist in the world? Why does everything he does have such news value? Why do even those of us who are more seriously interested than the sensational press, go to a new Picasso exhibition hoping to be surprised? And why do we never come away disappointed? Take the present Picasso show at the Lefevre. It contains two jokes cast in bronze. One is an ape with a toy model car for a head, a vase for a belly and a piece of an iron bracket for a tail. The other is a bird with a head and plume made from a gas-tap, a tail from the blade of a small shovel and legs and feet from two kitchen forks. The fifteen paintings include some recent (1953) sketches of women's heads in which profile and full-face are dislocated and re-assembled together, a flippant canvas of a dog and a woman wrestling hammer and tongs on the floor, and two small pictures from the tragic series of women in hats painted during the German occupation – their faces brutally wrenched into shapes reminiscent of gas masks. There are no important works in the show. Yet it remains intensely memorable. Why? The easy answer is to say: because Picasso is a great artist – because he can set a model car in clay and somehow make it convincing as a head of an ape – because he can draw a goat's skull (No 20) with such finesse that one can feel every twist and turn worn away by the muscles. But to answer like that is to beg the question. It doesn't explain why the scrappiest work by Picasso is so disproportionately compelling, or why all his work is so much more immediately arresting than that of, say Matisse or Léger who in the long run will probably be seen to possess equal or even greater genius as painters. Those who petulantly and sceptically say 'You only admire it because it's been done by Picasso,' are in a way quite right. In front of Picasso's work one pays tribute above all to his personal spirit. The old argument about his political opinions on one hand and his art on the other is quite false. As Picasso himself admits, he has, as an artist, discovered nothing. What makes him great are not his individual works but his existence, his personality. That may sound obscure and perverse, but less so, I think, if one inquires further into the nature of his personality. Picasso is essentially an improviser. And if the word improvisation conjures up amongst other things, associations of the clown and the mimic – they also apply. Living through a period of colossal confusion in which so many values both human and cultural have disintegrated, Picasso has seized upon the bits, the fragments, the smithereens, and with magnificent defiance and vitality made something of them to amuse us, shock us, but primarily to demonstrate to us by the example of his spirit that within the confusion, out of the debris, new ideas, new values, new ways of looking at the world can and will develop. His achievement is not that he himself has developed these things, but that he has always been irrepressible, has never been at a loss. The romanticism of Toulouse-Lautrec, the classicism of Ingres, the crude energy of Negro sculpture, the heart searchings of Cézanne towards the truth about structure, the exposures of Freud – all these he has recognised, welcomed, pushed to bizarre conclusions, improvised on, sung through, in order to make us recognise our contemporary environment, in order (and here his role is very much like that of a clown) to make us recognise ourselves in the parody of a distorting mirror. In Guernica the parody was tragic; there, angrily and passionately, he improvised with the bits left over from a massacre: as in other paintings, also tragically, he improvises with features and limbs dislocated and made fragmentary by the dilemmas of our time. But the process, the way he works – not by sustained creative research but by picking up whatever is in front of him and turning it to account, the account of human ingenuity – is always the same. Even when as now he makes a bird from the scrap metal found in some cupboard. Obviously this shorthand view of Picasso oversimplifies, but it does, I think, answer the questions I began by asking. And also goes some way to explaining other facts about him: the element of caricature in all his work; the extraordinary confidence behind every mark he makes – it is the confidence of the born performer; the failure of all his disciples – if he were a profoundly constructive artist this would not be so; the amazing multiplicity of his styles; the sense that, by comparison with any other great artist, any single work by Picasso seems unfinished; the truth behind many of his enigmatic statements: 'In my opinion to search means nothing in painting. To find is the thing!' 'To me there is no past or future in art. If a work of art cannot live always in the present it must not be considered at all!' Or, 'when I have found something to express, I have done it without thinking of the past or the future.' Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe The conclusions one can draw are these: that it is Picasso's simple and incredible vitality that is his secret – and here it is significant that I of all his works it is those that deal with animals that are most complete and profound in sympathy; that to future generations our estimate of Picasso, judged on the evidence of his works themselves, will seem exaggerated; and that we are absolutely right to hold this exaggerated view because it is the present existence of this spirit that we celebrate.

The 15 most valuable cassettes to own in July 2025
Remember how those humble Walkmans filled our pockets? While many now gather dust, a select few have become unexpected treasures. Proving once again that rarity, influence, and a good story can make plastic and magnetic tape worth a fortune, what was once considered a 'dead format' has found a new lease of life, popularised by some of the biggest chart-topping names in recent years, through to up-and-coming acts dubbing tapes on their parents' stereo. At least, we used to do that... there's probably an app for that now, correct? We've searched the annals of Discogs once again this month to find 15 more releases on cassette tape that fetched a huge sum in recent years, basing our findings on the highest sold price in the online marketplace's history. That means that though it did sell for that price originally, it's still worth undertaking your due diligence to check back in and see if there is still a demand for your items. That is, sadly, the nature of collecting. So, what did we find this month that commanded a huge figure to own on the humble old magnetic format? 1 . Alex G – Trick (2013) – £82.49 This cassette marks a significant early release from indie rock's influential cult hero, Alex G. Originally released on the independent Haze Tapes, early pressings were produced in very limited, often coloured, batches. Trick is considered one of his definitive and most beloved albums, its scarcity driven by a dedicated fanbase who covet these rare, physical artefacts of his early, prolific output. | Getty Images/Discogs Photo Sales 2 . Bad Brains – Bad Brains (1982) – £86.21 A cornerstone of hardcore punk, Bad Brains' self-titled debut album was originally released on cassette by ROIR. This red-shelled tape is a raw, blistering document of one of the most influential bands in punk and hardcore, renowned for their furious energy and pioneering sound. Its historical significance and the band's legendary status contribute heavily to its collector's appeal decades later. | Getty Images/Discogs Photo Sales 3 . Slum Village – Fan-tas-tic (1999) – £97.50 This limited early release from the revered hip-hop group Slum Village is a crucial piece for any serious collector. With its deep connection to the iconic production of J Dilla, Fan-tas-tic is considered a foundational album within soulful, experimental hip-hop. Its scarce original pressings, often distributed independently, make it a highly sought-after item from a pivotal era. | Getty Images/Discogs Photo Sales 4 . Beverly Glenn-Copeland – ...Keyboard Fantasies... (1986) – £131.25 This cassette holds the extraordinary tale of a visionary artist. Originally self-produced and self-distributed in minuscule quantities (reportedly only 50 copies), Keyboard Fantasies was a ground-breaking blend of ambient, electronic, and new-age music, far ahead of its time. Its rediscovery decades later led to global acclaim, making original copies of this almost mythical tape exceptionally valuable. | Getty Images/Discogs Photo Sales Related topics: BoostMusicTicketsAlbumsArtists
