Even if you're not the leather type in the bedroom, every guy should own a stylish leather jacket. Here's how to find the perfect one! [GQ]

Once daring, provocative and iconic, it's being claimed that Madonna and her latest fashion trends are safe and just plain blah. It's like saying God can no longer perform miracles. [NYT]

You know Rockport shoes, right? The kind your guidance counselor or pediatrician wore? Well, in an effort to update their clientele, the footwear brand is rolling out a younger, hipper line, and, to be honest, they're not that bad. [Material Interest]

Guess? may always be synonymous with denim, but with the launch of their upscale Black Label this September, they're hoping to change that. It might sting a little bit to wear a suit with a Guess? label, but, take it from someone who has seen the collection, it looks pretty good. [DNR]
