Details is an American monthly men's magazine published by Condé Nast Publications. Though the title has existed since the 1980s under various editors and publishers, its current format stems from an October 2000 relaunch of the title, following a transfer of the magazine from Condé Nast to sibling division Fairchild Publications.

Between its last issue at Condé Nast and first at Fairchild, publication of Details was temporarily suspended. This allowed for extensive redesign and strategic repositioning of the magazine as an upscale and irreverent fashion magazine for affluent men (and those who aspire to be affluent) in their late 20s and 30s. Total newsstand and subscription circulation was reigned in to approximately 500,000. In the six years since its relaunch, Details has received recognition throughout media circles (including several ASME and Society of Publication Design awards). The magazine has been described as Vogue for men, though a men's edition of that title has also launched since the revamping of Details.

Though primarily a magazine devoted to fashion and lifestyle, Details has also featured reports on relevant social and political views.

Its primary competing titles include corporate sibling GQ and Hearst's Esquire.

Frequent contributors include Augusten Burroughs and Anderson Cooper.

Its current editor is Dan Peres, the husband of Australian actress Sarah Wynter.
