Manhattan's West Village Girl plague has already spread to Scotland
The West Village Girl, dissected by journalist Brock Colyar in the latest cover story for New York Magazine, is a new generation that has taken over Manhattan's West Village, the old stomping ground of Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw. There are attributes that set her apart from her Glasgow sister, but they are minor (there's no Aritzia in Glasgow from which to buy a Super Puff). The rest of her defining characteristics are shared, so let's hereby refer to her as the West End Girl: Blank Street, dachshunds, Pilates, sweatshirts from Adanola, Sambas, slick ponytails, Aperol spritzes, Sabrina Carpenter, contrast therapy, TikTok, queueing for croissants. You get the gist. Thanks to social media, it may seem like I'm describing the well-heeled Gen Z girl. The 'I'm not an influencer, I'm a content creator' girl. The gym-instead-of-pub, no-makeup-makeup girl. But the stereotype that has flooded Byres Road and beyond has roots. Millennial roots, actually. Does it really belong in Glasgow, though? Will it last? Is this Glasgow culture now? (Image: Gordon Terris, Newsquest) You see, a decade ago, when I moved to Glasgow from Vancouver, the land of Lululemon, passive aggression and orthorexia, I was this girl. I bemoaned the lack of bars I frequented at home: matcha bars, Pilates bars, smoothie bars, salad bars, trendy bars. At the time, Glasgow was mostly pubs, chippies, burger joints, betting shops and Gregg's. People eyed my culture of rampant individualism and optimisation suspiciously. The culture here was unpretentious. It was awkward to take oneself so seriously. Friends mocked my affinity for salads mercilessly (some still do). Their faces contorted with disgust at the mention of going for a run on the weekend. Weekends were for spending time with your friends and family. Socialising. Over pints. Within two years, I had all but abandoned my fragile wellness persona. I started drinking beer again. I let beige food back into my diet. I must admit, I felt holistically better in Glasgow, not striving for perfection. Though I subtly relished slipping back into my old ways whenever I returned to North America, giddy at the thought of slurping down an iced matcha latte the size of my head after a barre class. READ MORE MARISSA MACWHIRTER Then, a few years ago, something funny happened. Little echoes of the past started cropping up throughout the city. A hip salad bar here. A chic fitness studio there. Thanks to TikTok, the wellness girlie plague spread to Glasgow, a place I never thought it would touch. Reformer Pilates studios, boutique wellness spaces offering ice baths and infrared saunas, and running clubs. And then, bang! The pièce de résistance. This spring, not one, but two Blank Street Coffee locations opened within a few weeks of each other. One on Gordon Street, one on Byres Road (two Edinburgh locations opened in January and February). The brand was founded in Brooklyn in 2020, but a cup from the coffee chain is as ubiquitous in the manus of a West Village Girl as a Cartier Love Bracelet. And now, thanks to the brand's confidence in the Glasgow market, our West End Girls can have them too. No need to board the Global Airlines Airbus A380 to JFK. Blank Street was so confident in Glasgow's West End Girls that the chain opened up on the corner of Ruthven Street and Byres Road just shy of two weeks after the council refused planning permission for the site. A spokesperson for the brand said they didn't really need approval anyway and are able to operate 'under the previous tenant's use'. One local called it 'absolutely brass-necked'. A comment on the application from the Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland and an objection from Friends of Glasgow West alluded to resistance in the area for a Blank Street, and perhaps the type of Gen Z-coded customer it attracts? Blank Street Coffee is now ubiquitous The erosion of originality on Byres Road has been in the post for years. The new Blank Street unit was previously occupied by Greggs. Chains were perverting the affluent boho ethos of the West End long before Blank Street came along. Can the pushback be simplified as a resistance to the new monoculture? This exercise and health obsession that characterises mainstream Gen Zers trickled in from America. It's far removed from the European-adjacent culture of the Glasgow that I came to in 2015. If you speak to people in the nighttime industry, they will tell you this new culture has upended nightlife in the city. Queues for designer iced drinks have replaced queues for the Berkeley Suite. Pubs and bars losing their status as our first choice, third place is a shake-up of Glasgow's cultural identity. Each time I passed the Blank Street queue, my brain nearly exploded. At first, I saw a flashing recession indicator warning that matcha making its way to Glasgow was a grave sign we were one step closer to an atomised society. We better get those Gen Zers on the pints, fast, before it's too late, I thought. Then, milky green with envy, I saw a generation younger than me, healthy like I once was, glossy with youth and languishing in the sunny queue for a cute little beverage, not a care in the world. I would like to be her again. Maybe if I get in line behind the sea of Hayley Bieber lookalikes and buy myself an Iced Daydream Matcha, I can turn the clock back a few years. There is, after all, nothing wrong with caring about your health. It's good for you, in fact. Questioning whether the affluent West End Girl mentality belongs in Glasgow is redundant. She is clearly already here. And will it last? I've always thought American wellness culture was rooted in the country's cruel and costly privatised health care system. So if the weekly warnings about the dire state of Scotland's NHS are anything to go on, I reckon we could see a few more Blank Streets in the city this year.

ELLE Editors Share Their Ultimate Workout Clothes And Accessories
There's a lot of stuff out there, and not all fashion pieces are created equal. Luckily, the ELLE editors know their way around a shopping rail, and when it comes to helping you find those perfect wardrobe building blocks, they're up to the task. From the new and niche brands worth knowing to high-street hits of quality, and a few vintage treasures too, our ELLE Edits showcase the very best of the season. The best activewear clothes and accessories will adapt to an array of activities, whether you're pursuing a PB in your local run club or perfecting a pose in Barre. But beyond the gym floor, the rise of WFH has seen many of us adopt athleisure as everyday wear. We now rely on sculpting leggings that wash well and will look as good when worn for Reformer as meeting friends for a weekend brunch, and trainers that deliver as highly in the style stakes as they do on a mixed trail run. The rapid growth of the UK wellness industry (said to be worth over $223 billion in 2024) has also seen a plethora of new brands enter the market since 2010. The likes of Tala, Sporty and Rich, Adanola, Varley and On have quickly amassed loyal fan bases and impressive social media followings, while LA starlets Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid are often seen wearing athleisure separates to run errands. With many Gen Z and Millennials now choosing a run club over a debauched night out, there exists a wealth of fitness product whether you're seeking to level up in Soul Cycle, F45, Barrecore or strength training. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Lululemon is loved for its leggings, On counts Zendaya and Mia Regan as fans, and Adanola enlisted Kendall Jenner for an edit having seen gross profits surge by 124% in 2024. We've also witnessed the rise of the Fashion Trainer, spearheaded by Wales Bonner for Adidas, whose cult designs can reach resale prices exceeding $500. But how to choose the correct kit? When seeking separates for high intensity workouts, yoga or Pilates, look for polyester, nylon, elastane and spandex, which are known for their moisture-wicking, breathability, and stretch. More eco-conscious blends of cotton and bamboo will feel soft against the skin and suit lighter movement. Running shoes should offer flexibility and support to cushion your feet, and styles differ for trail running versus flat roads or shorter, more casual runs. As a rule, look for waterproof trainers with mesh vents on the upper to boost airflow and allow any moisture to escape, keeping your feet cooler and reducing the risk of blisters. Gait analysis is often offered free as part of the fitting service in running shoe stores and will help you choose the shoe spec best suited to your foot type, terrain and running motion. Many brands now offer multiple lengths in leggings, whether you're petite, tall, or just fancy the extra coverage, and most gymwear doesn't need to be hand-washed – just use a gentle spin at 30 degrees for a minimal time then air dry. To power up your next workout, we've enlisted a selection of seasoned ELLE editors (who favour a variety of sporting pursuits) to share their favourite gym kit and accessories. 'I alternate between Spin and Reformer classes so need flattering, comfortable leggings that suit both pastimes. With Adanola having achieved cult status (and endorsement from Kaia Gerber, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Emily Ratajkowski) I bought a pair of its Ultimate Leggings and can attest to the product name's bold promise. With a four-way stretch fabric, they have a higher waistline for extra support and contour and come in three lengths – ankle, cropped, and tall. They wash brilliantly and I've been known to pair them with slingbacks and an oversized blazer at weekends. As well as the core collection of neutral colourways like black, navy and brown, there are seasonal drops of new shades. I'll soon be adding the Wrap Over style to basket to tap into the balletcore trend.' - Esther Coombes, Senior Ecommerce Editor, Luxury 'My workouts would be nothing without my Panache sports bra. The underwired style sees me through all sorts of gym activities from rebounding to weights, Pilates to Barre. I appreciate the way it has total coverage to ensure that I am held in place throughout. I was advised during its initial fitting to size up in the band and down in the cup and would recommend you do the same.' - Naomi Pike, Commissioning Editor Paid content 'As a city dweller who travels mostly on foot, I'm keen to track my step count and sleep cycles, so the new Watch Fit 4 Pro from Huawei is high on my wish list. Akin to having a personal wellness coach on your wrist, this stylish new wearable tech tracks your sleep duration and stage chart, and offers real-time monitoring of your ECG, heart rate and oxygen levels. Ranking as one of the lightest smart watch models on the market and with up to 10 days battery time after a full charge, you can choose from three sleek colour ways (I'd opt for Titanium Blue). The Trail Running Mode, with offline contour maps, GPS guidance and terrain-specific stats may influence me to be a little more daring on a weekend run, too.' - Esther Coombes, Senior Ecommerce Editor, Luxury 'My performances in Reformer classes would be nothing without the support of my Lululemon Align tank top; it unwaveringly hoists and hugs in all of the right places so that no matter the contortion of my body, I'm supported. I couldn't be without it (and the Align leggings are fantastic too).' - Naomi May, Deputy Site Editor 'Peloton leggings are a hidden gem. The plain black pair I have are my favourites by far – no underwear visible, they never fall down, hug you the perfect amount and don't fade or bobble (and I've worn them a lot). Their sizing is inclusive (it runs from XS to 3X) and they have an amazing range of patterns and colours. They also now collab with Lululemon. I've loved lots of the sportswear I've tried from the brand, but their leggings need to be tried to be believed. You'll be converted.' - Rhiannon Evans, Site Director 'As someone who sticks mainly to heeled boots or ballet flats, I loathe to wear trainers. But when Lululemon debuted the surprisingly stylish Chargefeel 3 – with their breathable mesh upper, silhouette-smoothing sock upper and featherweight sole – I found myself wanting to wear them outside of the gym, too.' - Abigail Southan, Senior Ecommerce Editor, Fashion and Beauty 'As a Wimbledon native, I like to nod to my heritage and Ralph Lauren's collaboration with the Championships is just the ticket. As Official Outfitter of Wimbledon, Ralph Lauren launches new merch ahead of each year's tennis competition, and this preppy-inspired crew neck jumper will be perfect pre and post workout.' - Esther Coombes, Senior Ecommerce Editor, Luxury 'I never normally read too much into the name of a trainer but the On Cloudmonster 2s really do live up to theirs. Bouncy and beautifully cushioned, I can spring around the park in these and then also wear them to the office.' - Hannah Nathanson, Features Director 'You might know Spanx for its shapewear, but the legendary lingerie brand also does the most amazing activewear, too. As well as the collection's control leggings, I like to slip into this half-zip top which is ludicrously comfy. It's sweat-wicking, so you can workout in it, but I might have been known to wear it with the matching trackies to the pub too...' - Abigail Southan, Senior Ecommerce Editor, Fashion and Beauty Esther Coombes is the Senior Ecommerce Editor at Harper's Bazaar, ELLE and Esquire, overseeing luxury shopping content across fashion, beauty, travel and homes.

Whether she's breezing through a Lagree class, curating a clean, off-duty look, or serving banana pudding at her pop-up café, there's a quiet intention behind it all. At 22, she's built a lifestyle brand around fashion, fitness, and food—interests shaped early on by her mother's timeless style.

Then there's The Brunch Club, her seasonal café where coffee, matcha, and warm desserts set the tone. 'It brings together everything I love—good food, a calm atmosphere, and real connection.' For Aris, these aren't separate lanes—they're part of the same rhythm: a considered way of living that's less about perfection, more about feeling good in your own skin. A Night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 'You can never go wrong with a matching set,' Aris tells SceneStyled.
