Editor’s letter: why we’re becoming HTSI

You could notice a minor modify this week about our masthead. For the initial time we’re appearing not as How To Expend It on the deal with but basically as HTSI. In excess of the course of our 28-yr existence, the title How To Shell out It has usually been one we have applied with pleasure. The journal has tried using to encourage a slightly escapist lifestyle and embodied, I hope, the best strategies in which to devote one’s time. We have usually encouraged visitors to interpret the “spend” as less transactional in its meaning. But it is clear that the irony with which the title was to start with conceived has often unsuccessful to land. Occasions have also improved: we have lived through two yrs of a worldwide health catastrophe. We are in the midst of a price tag of dwelling crisis. We have been publishing problem soon after issue towards the backdrop of war in Ukraine. We want every person to really feel that the magazine provides something daily life-affirming, enriching and diverting. And so we have advanced.

From this weekend, we will publish as HTSI magazine. We will present new interpretations of the “s” though nonetheless employing our brand name title with our information, we will also draw on other “s” words to illustrate the breadth of issues we do. This week’s go over tale, which could be known as “How to fashion it”, is shot by Bibi Borthwick and offers a fresh glimpse at this season’s menswear that is usually stylish – and perfectly hewn. Inside of characteristics supply views on how to savour it, how to market it and how to preserve it. There are views on how to see, serve and even swim it, as well. 

We want anyone to feel the magazine features a thing life‑affirming and enriching

Admittedly, an acronym does not right away roll off the tongue. But we come to feel that in time it will be as common to you as it is to us (who have usually referred to as it HTSI about the business) mainly because you will discover the exact tales, escapes and type adventures that you have generally liked. How To Spend It has usually been about how we expend our time, and our content embraces everything that is fantastic in life. We make optimism, pleasure and elegance a focus in a earth where such points can be tricky to locate. And we are a minor hedonistic – HTSI has hardly ever been, and in no way will be, a person for the hair shirts. We have no options to adjust our essential being we just want HTSI to reflect the further sensitivities and priorities of a changing planet.
