John Legend in BALMAIN Jacket and Balenciaga Shoes; Every Man's Style Must-Have

Pic: Upscale Hype

Browsing fashion sites, I catch John Legend's look here. I think that this should be every man's go-to. Doesn't have to be this BALMAIN jacket (retails for appx $5,000) or Balenciaga sneakers (appx $600), but if you guys fit the silhouette, then you're good. Which reminds me, I need to pick up to midrise leather sneakers and a thigh-length spring military jacket :-)

Case in point?? Always bet on BLACK.

MIGUEL Wears Saint Laurent Leather Vest On Red Carpet; Channels The Rocker Look

A few weeks ago, Miguel wore this Saint Laurent leather vest to the Young Hollywood Awards. He also wore chained boots (below). Coupled with the high hair and sort of 'polished rocker' look, it's a look that I could see a few guys wearing headed towards fall season.

Sneaker of the Day: Louis Vuitton 'Fastball' Hightop Sneakers, DOPENESS

This sneaker, the Louis Vuitton Fastball, was designed paying homage to the American tradition of leather varsity jackets and cloth patches. And it looks very much so with the 'LV' patch, sueded leather, leather cap toe, and an old-world/new-world feel. It's for a staggering $720. 'Staggering' as in, 'I can find sneakers like that for hundreds of dollars less.'

These can definitely be rocked with a great pair of denim jeans, whether crisp and worn-in, with a nice varsity jacket or vest!

RIHANNA Gone Rocker At Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour; Tattoos 'THUG LIFE' On Fingers!!

Rihanna was spotted looking ROCKER CHICK at the Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour. Loving the mussed-up and blown-out hair, definitely reminiscent of the '80s, and also check out the leather pants (could they be in this year for the fashion-daring?) and that BOSS leather jacket that she's wearing. It seems like it tells a story with its rocker studs, upside down cross, and side detailing. Will update on what brand the jacket is.

Check out more views of Rihanna's rocker clothes, as well as the tattoo (temporary or permanent?) 'THUG LIFE' that she tattooed on her fingers:

The Ultimate Briefcase

Carrying a hard-cased, boring briefcase may be the business thing that you see in your local metropolis, but if you are young, hip, with the times of 2011, you wouild know that the new thing is to wear a fancy backpack that has all of the components of a briefcase.

This real fancy bag is by H by Harris. It's made from 100% Nappa Leather and has several compartments, including a compartment for your laptop. It can be had for $919. Yow... or you know... there are plenty of bags that can look similar to this for less.
