The 15 Items Every Guy Should Have in His Wardrobe |
When it comes to building a wardrobe, knowing where to start is half the battle. You don't need loads of clothes to look good—it's a common misconception that volume equates to style; in fact, less can often be better—but in menswear, there are a handful of timelessly brilliant items that can serve as a foundation on which to build a timelessly brilliant wardrobe. So where should you start? Here is a mix of enduring classics and slightly more left-field choices that are guaranteed to work. Consider them a starting point or an upgrade, depending on where you are in your personal style journey. |

Are You Cool Enough for the Latest Sally Rooney Novel? |
On an otherwise average Monday in late February of this year, Sally Rooney completely overtook my Instagram feed. Not the author herself (she doesn't have any active, public social-media profiles) but rather droves of her readers, who flooded my feed with the news of her fourth novel, Intermezzo, to be released on September 24. In twin Instagram posts, the Irish author's U.S. and UK publishers shared the title of the forthcoming novel and, on the next slide, four lines of text: cryptic, morbid, classic Rooney. Then came the avalanche of reposts from influencers, other authors, actors, and more generally cool people. "I'm ready to become insufferable once again," one comment read. "So sorry for who I will become in September 2024," read another. |

Director Matt Reeves Dishes on Battinson, The Penguin, and His Nirvana-Coded Gotham |
Reeves has the keys to Gotham. In 2022, he debuted The Batman, which starred Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader. And Mr. Wayne's notoriously hard-to-please fans...really...loved it? Pattinson flashed Batman's detective chops, Zoë Kravitz shined as a wonderfully sly Catwoman, and Paul Dano delivered a QAnon Riddler who was downright chilling. In fact, the approval rating for Reeves's Nirvana-coded Batman universe is so damn high that one of its characters—Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb, aka the Penguin—is about to enjoy the small-screen treatment. Spoiler: Batman loyalists will love it, too. Its many triumphs include Farrell's unhinged, Batman-fucked-with-Tony Soprano performance and more time in Reeves's Gotham, which turns out to be far more intertwined with our world than you'd ever think. n advance of The Penguin's premiere on Max tonight, Reeves opened up about his Spielbergian origins, his inspiration for the upcoming Batman Part II, and what the hell possesses Colin Farrell when he becomes Oz Cobb. |

Five Fits With: Rock Legend and Founding Member of Sonic Youth Thurston Moore |
This week I bring you Thurston Moore, the legendary guitarist, singer, writer, songwriter, and founding member of Sonic Youth. He's also made nine solo albums and teaches writing at multiple prestigious universities. When I'm doing interviews with music icons like Moore, it's tough to dig in to style and fashion when at the end of the day, music is still my biggest passion and first love. A question I love to ask musicians is when they first discovered their passion for music. "Oh, as soon as I left the womb," Moore says. "My passion for it was just as soon as I became conscious in my memory." He credits his father (a pianist and professor of music), the Beatles, and his brother bringing home a copy of the Kingsmen's Louie Louie. "It was like this totem of magic that came into our house and replaced everything," he explains. "From then on, all I wanted to do was be in a band that sounded like that." Moore has a new album out today called Flow Critical Lucidity, which you can listen to wherever you stream music. Below, we discuss shifts in his musical and personal style over the course of his career, getting a haircut and dressing your age at sixty-six, and plenty more. |

These Birkenstocks Look Cool as Hell |
I long considered Birkenstock's Boston the pinnacle of the brand's output. Just as comfortable as any of the 250-year-old German company's sandals but with the added benefit of a little extra toe protection—which is very much appreciated considering the weather and the grime of New York City—the humble clog has become a staple of my footwear rotation. I own more pairs than I should. I love them all. But recently there's been a contender for the position of go-to Birk. It's not a new release. In fact, especially if you work in health care or food service, there's a very good chance you're already aware of it. And yeah, it's been on TV, featuring famously on the feet of both Carmy and Sydney on The Bear. It's the Tokio Super Grip, a professional-grade riff on the clog with a heel strap and some extra oomph underfoot, and it is a simply fantastic shoe. Here's why it deserves a spot in your lineup. |

What I've Learned: Perry Farrell |
Muscles don't really work with rock 'n' roll. I see a band with muscles, it looks funny to me. They should be fighting. Skinny kids, they should be making music or art. We don't have to fight. Part of writing a good song is that you have to give them a pinch of familiarity and then a pinch of "Wow, what was that? I never heard that before." That way they can follow something they've never experienced and get there. And then at end of the song they'll feel smart because they're onto something few others know about yet. |

Periods are normal, but kids pointing them out in their sketches is something else. Australian woman Penny Rohleder shared a photo of her son's drawing on the Facebook page of blogger Constance Hall on Jul. 25, which well, says it all. SEE ALSO: James Corden tests out gymnastics class for his son and is instantly showed up by children "I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed that my 5 year old son knows this," Rohleder wrote. "Julian drew a family portrait. I said 'What's that red bit on me?' And he replied, real casual, 'That's your period.'" Well, at least he knows. To give further context, Rohleder revealed she had pulmonary embolism in October 2016, and was put on blood thinning treatment which makes her periods "very, very bad," she explained to the Daily Mail .

British rider Chris Froome launched one of his blistering mountain attacks to win the Criterium du Dauphine race for the second time, clinching the eighth stage to take the yellow jersey. from Articles | Mail Online http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-3123660/Chris-Froome-sends-strong-message-rivals-storms-win-Criterium-du-Dauphine-second-time.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490
For centuries , humans have used fish oils, orally or topically, to treat a wide array of ailments, from aches and pains to rickets and gout. The popularity of this supplement has shifted over the years, as have its primary uses. But over the past couple of decades, the hype around fish oil has arguably reached an all-time high. According to National Institutes of Health statistics , in 2012, at least 18.8 million Americans used about $1.3 billion dollars worth of fish oil, making it the third most widely used supplement in the nation. (Sales reportedly flattened out at about that level around 2013.) Today, many use it because they believe it will broadly help their heart health , but others hold that fish oil can help with renal health, bone, and joint conditions, cognitive functions and mental wellness, and any number of other conditions. But is fish oil really as good for you as millions of Americans believe it is? Who should be taking it and when? We dove into the research and
