We've crunched the numbers, and in the history of one man looking at another man and thinking, damn, I wish I could dress like that, 71.8 percent of the time, the object of envy has been a musician. Musicians are simply more stylish than the rest of us. The scientific explanation is that their unique ability to conjure emotions and generate indelible memories by literally vibrating the air around them translates remarkably well into fashion, where a similar magic trick is being performed, but for the eye rather than the ear. There's something else, though: music, more than most sources of the kind of fame and fortune that thrusts a man into the public eye, is intensely personal. It begins alone in a bedroom with a drum machine or a laptop or a guitar or a scratchpad of castoff couplets waiting to be assembled into a lyric. And the currency of fashion, as the fifty men on this list attest, is authentic self-expression. Every era has a handful of musicians who immediately come to mind as defining the style of their age. Today, against the backdrop of a music scene that's never been more diverse, multifaceted, unpredictable, funky, theatrical, or frankly just exciting, we've got far more than a handful, many of whom will be at the Grammys on Sunday. So we took the occasion to create the definitive list of the most stylish men in music. Note that this is a list of the most stylish men in music now, men whose every look wields influence in the fashion landscape today. No Mick Jagger. No David Byrne. No Eddie Vedder. This was an incredibly difficult task. We planned for fifteen to 20 names, fought over 60 or 70, and reined ourselves in until we landed on 50. Still, we've certainly left many deserving men off this list. (Be sure to tell us who in the comments.) Nevertheless, scroll on, and we can promise you'll find plenty to covet and plenty that inspires. "Damn," you'll say, at least a few times. "I wish I could dress like that." |

Charles Knowles marks his tenth year sober in 2026, an event made extra special by the publishing of his first popular-science book, the appropriately titled Why We Drink Too Much. Although elements of Knowles's story are unique to him, the broader trajectory—finding booze, loving booze, drinking too much, living to drink—is a tale with which many people are familiar. Data from the National Institutes of Health shows that, in our own country, nearly 28 million people have some sort of alcohol-use disorder; more than 178,000 are estimated to die every year because of alcohol. Yet our relationship with alcohol is changing. Americans are suddenly attuned to years of research showing that no amount of alcohol is safe, and younger generations especially are turning away from the stuff, according to the IWSR. Just 54 percent of Americans report drinking regularly, while roughly the same percentage believes even moderate drinking is bad for you. Gallup polling from 2025 shows that Americans consume, on average, 2.8 drinks per week, the lowest figure recorded in 30 years. A question that would've seemed ridiculous just five years ago during the height of our booze-laden pandemic lockdown appears to be at the forefront these days: Is it time to quit alcohol for good? |

Buying gifts for the woman you love is high-pressure. Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or yes—Valentine's Day—you always want a gift that feels thoughtful and a little indulgent. You never, ever, want it to feel like you grabbed it as you were buying something else. As a wife, I can confidently tell you it's rarely about the price tag. It's about the intent. That's why we put together this list of luxury gifts under $50. These are all things that look polished, feel special, and suggest you genuinely know her. They are the elevated little treats she might not buy for herself but will absolutely love and tell her friends about. "My husband got me this," is still one of my favorite phrases. |

Artists are inspired by what they know—their experiences, their relationships, and, yes, the cars they drive. Musicians in particular have long romanticized vehicles in their lyrics, from the Weeknd's McLaren P1 that is "cleaner than your church shoes" to Lloyd Banks and Juelz Santana's immortal "Beamer, Benz, or Bentley." Hell, I waxed poetic about hip-hop's love affair with the Hummer just a few months back. Cars, after all, are never just a means of getting us from point A to point B. They're vehicles for self-expression, rolling extensions of identity. And there's the simple fact that our cars remain one of the places where we spend the most time listening to music. Artists have long relied on the "car listen" as a final step in mixing an album, a real-world stress test that accounts for road noise and factory audio systems, to ensure the music translates well beyond a controlled studio environment. While you shouldn't judge a book or album by its cover, you can absolutely tell a lot about someone from the car they drive. So what kind of gravitas does a Buick carry to inspire what feels like an entire album in its honor? |

On Monday, Apple did something unexpected. The company, known for its splashy press-conference reveals for every new iPhone and Mac, just straight-up announced a new product without any fanfare. Say hello to the new and improved AirTags. The crazy part? You can order them on Amazon right now. They're ready to go. In 2021, Apple more or less introduced to the world to the concept of the "item finder" with the AirTag. What started as a way to make sure your luggage wasn't getting lost or stolen has become a must-have for some. There are AirTags in our wallets, in our passport holders, and on our keychains. Frankly, most of us won't fly without them anymore. If that includes you, listen up. Starting this week, you can purchase the second-generation model of AirTag on Amazon. It's the same price as the old one—you can still get one for $30 or a bundle of four for $100. But how, you may be asking, the hell are these new ones any different? |

Fillers have a branding problem. For years, they've been associated with overfilled cheeks, swollen faces, and a vague sense that something has gone wrong. It's a safe generalization to say that many men approach fillers with high levels of skepticism. But that reputation has far more to do with outdated technique than modern practice, says Anthony E. Brissett, a Houston-based double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon and current president of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. At the core of Brissett's approach is a simple but often missed distinction. "Filler is not a shortcut; it's a tool," he says. Used correctly, it isn't about chasing a line or adding volume where something looks off. It's about restoring support in places most people don't immediately notice, reinforcing structure so the face ages better over time rather than being patched together session by session. Let's get into the 411 on filler and everything you need to know about these facial defining injectables. |
