Are you a high-end hun? This is the question which has been circulating around The Telegraph’s office this week – and if you aren’t one, it’s not a bad aspiration to adopt.

If the term is unfamiliar, allow me to enlighten you: the hun is a woman who is living her best life; the high-end hun is doing it in style. She knows her wine, her music, her interiors and her labels, and her reluctance to do Dry January or go vegan makes her great company.

We’ve seen some fabulous examples of high-end huns in the public eye lately: White Lotus star Jennifer Coolidge, not to mention her character Tanya McQuoid (“These gays, they're trying to murder me!”) as well as Carol Vorderman, who recently revealed that she has five lovers. Here, Laura Craik reveals why life is always better when you’re a high-end hun.

If only the same could be said for middle-aged men in leather jackets – unfortunately it seems to have the opposite effect, as evidenced by Brad Pitt and George Clooney this week. Melissa Twigg tackles the divisive topic.

Wishing you a stylish weekend,
Tamara
