Anyone a bit sick of gimmicks when it comes to rum?

It all gets a bit, ‘ahhrr, me harties’ for my liking. We get it, there’s a piratical connection, but can that cliché just walk the plank already?

That’s why Duppy Share is a breath of fresh air; not a parrot, giant squid or pegleg in sight. They’re redefining and modernising the rum category, because, as the founder says, ‘rum deserves better’.

But, what the dark n’ stormy is a Duppy? It’s actually the word for a Caribbean spirit or ghost originating from Jamaica, with a penchant for good rum. You’ll have heard the term ‘the angel’s share’ when it comes to whisky, who take a proportion of the evaporating spirit, well this is rum’s equivalent. Hence, the Duppy Share.

They exist to do rum justice, by blending spirits from the most decorated and renowned distilleries in Jamaica and Barbados. And this year, the award-winning disruptor rum brand is celebrating ten years in the game with the shiny new release of it’s Legacy Edition: A Decade of Rum Done Right. You’ve got to love the name, far from being gimmicky, it’s as straight talking as they come.  

That’s because the new release Legacy Edition encapsulates Duppy Share’s bold character, showing off the meticulous blending that goes into each bottle with its textbook depth of flavour. This blend of Jamaican and Barbadian rums are aged for up to ten years in ex-bourbon casks and infused with selected spices to create a velveteen rum with boat-loads of character.

Flavour-wise, think muscovado sugar, molasses, vanilla, honey, salted caramel and sultanas, to be served neat, over ice or as a high-end cocktail, like this one:

But get it while you can, it’s a limited production ultra-premium rum, available from theduppyshare.com. As there’s no guarantee of availability, when it’s gone, it’s gone.

So, don’t leave it to the duppies, get yourself one of these incredible collectors items pronto. No other rum is a (eye) patch on this one. Sorry…

Abercrombie & Fitch has come a long way since the 2010s when it was famed for its ultra low rise skinny jeans, white lace cami tops, flip flops and slogan jumpers that dominated our teenage wardrobes. 

In fact, we’d go as far as to say the American fashion retailer has almost ditched its former Cali vibes to deliver on trend and versatile staples, and we’re here for it. 

The skimpy dolly dresses have been replaced with chic mid-length creations that rival design brands, while the jeans category is ever expanding and offering alternative cuts to the skin tight stereotype. 

Speaking of, we have spotted an ultra flattering pair of High Rise Wide Leg Trouser Jeans that couldn’t be further from A&F’s former styles, which are proving hugely popular already. 

High Rise Wide Leg Trouser Jean

Crafted from a cotton and lyocell blend, these full-length jeans are comfortable, lightweight yet structured. It features a high rise waistband and a wide leg fit from the hips to the ankles. Available in nine colourways. Sizes range from waist 23 to 38, as well as extra short, short, regular, long, and extra long lengths.

Not only are we fans of the High Rise Wide Leg Trouser Jeans, but so are fellow shoppers. According to the website, this style is top-rated with glowing reviews from shoppers, and has almost sold out, which is a testament to its popularity. 

The High Rise Wide Leg Jeans have been crafted from a cotton and lyocell blend, which are soft, comfortable, and lightweight yet structured – hence the hybrid ‘Trouser Jean’ title. 

The title of this wardrobe staple doesn’t leave much to the imagination. It boasts a high rise waistband, which elongates your legs, cinches in your stomach, and provides extra coverage. These jeans hug the waist, but fall into a wide leg cut from the hips all the way down to your feet. 

These full length jeans are ideal to wear all year long, as you can style with flip flops, ballet flats, trainers, heeled boots and kitten heels. 

The classic wide leg jeans are available in nine colourways, including black, grey wash, dark denim, a rinsed denim, washed denim with frayed hems, as well as pale pink, butter yellow and ecru with embroidered detail. 

While these jeans do not have any stretch or elastic in the fabric blend, they are available in various waist and length sizes so you can find the perfect fit.  The waist ranges from 23 to 38, while the leg length spans from extra short to extra long. 

Select sizes in certain colourways have either sold out, or have limited sizes, so you will want to shop quickly so not to miss out on the staple, which fetches £75. 

We would pair these wide leg jeans with a classic white tank top and sandals for the last of the summer sun, slip on a linen or cotton shirt for coverage, or a suede jacket for extra warmth and trainers. Alternatively team with Western cowboy boots and a fringed jacket in the Autumn, a crisp white shirt, or a glitzy top, blazer and heels for date night. 

While we consider Abercrombie & Fitch’s Wide Leg Trouser Jeans a capsule wardrobe essential, you may want to hear it from other shoppers. 

One shopper, who goes under the title Nui, hailed these the ‘perfect jeans’, while a separate customer added: ‘Perfect fit. Super comfy. Love that different lengths are available. They sit just above the belly button, so it’s very flattering.’

Kaylah weighed in: ‘Abercrombie always makes the best jeans. Super flattering and the perfect length (bought the short).’
