Monocle, July/August 2026

PLEASE NOTE: Magazine cover varies and particular cover cannot not be specified for order, but you can state your cover preference in the order notes at checkout and, if available, we will send that one.

Not the Harvard-produced satire of the ’60s, Monocle reports the parts of international affairs, policy, culture and social trends that are relevant to people also interested in furniture design, exotic travel and development theory. If this is you, then you’ve just found a new reason to get up in the morning. Newly created by the same team originally responsible for Wallpaper*, reading Monocle will make yourself more interesting. A cosmopolitan internationalist look at the world – a magazine for the thinking person.

In this issue:

Leaf through our bumper July/August issue to discover Monocle’s annual ranking of the best places to live, work and call home. We also stop by Canada, Australia and Malaysia for masterclasses in intergenerational living, meet the young US mayors reaching across the political divide, take a peek inside the perfect Parisian apartment and tour the world’s best sports clubs, from Madrid to Rio. Plus: take a seat with Belgian superstar Angèle for an insight into her music and summer plans.
