I am on my third work/travel bag and I still can't get it right. Any suggestions for a cool/not trendy bag/backpack that can be used for work and maybe an overnight?
I recommend either Deuter (www.deuter.com/en) S-Lite or Edge 25 .
I have had both for several years now, and they take a beating.

I love the Eagle Creek 22" Roller with Backback attachment (switchback) You can carry it on and either use it as a back back as a roller or both, it is Black and pretty understated. I use it for all overnight trips. The only con is no laptop case, which you can pick up for like $20.00.

Check out the Western Flyer or the Tri-Star from Tom Bihn. Both of these can accept a laptop insert and they can be carried or worn as backpacks. I have a number of his bags--they are all thoughtfully designed down to the last detail, incredibly durable and made in the U.S.A.
Not sure what style you're looking for but I have a Red Oxx bag that I use for overnights to a few day trips. Great construction and simple design. Here is the site (http://www.redoxx.com/catalog/cat_airline-carry-on-luggage.html) they make other bags and one might fit your needs.
While he doesn't have any bags that can really double as both a work bag and an overnighter, Jack Spade has been making great looking and durable bags for years. I've had a version of their Waxwear Duffle since I was a senior in college, and that thing has been with me everywhere from Toledo to Taipei.

Briggs and riley @work line has many options and they guarantee their products for life.
