Details: Men's Style Manual: The Ultimate Guide for Making Your Clothes Work for You Paperback – Illustrated, 18 Oct. 2007

I bought 6 books on style, this was by far the most useful

I bought this as a present for my husband, to have something fun to read in our vacations instead of a magazine.He liked it very much, despite not always agreeing with the styling tips, because he is a more casual dressed guy.I also enjoyed it, I love reading good styling books.Loved the writing style of the author, I would definitely recommend it!

This is a really book well illustrated.It gives you all must haves a man should have.What's missing though it doesnt explain in details what suit what type of men.E.g what short men should wear, big and tall...Which the book was articualted around this as not everything suit every man

This book helped me a lot in choosing my wardrobe. Every time I need to buy clothing I pick it up and rely on it in choosing how to buy clothes. Short and sweet filled with great advices.

I really enjoyed reading this and learnt a lot from it. Just about everything a man needs to know about style is in this book.

husband and myself loved this little secret info manual...lots of ideas and good schooling. we both learned a lot with the info written

Very good transaction, clear information and good price. The item is also in very good quality. Would consider to deal again and a *** seller.Thanks

This is a book from the magazine Details, it has a good introduction by one of their editors who describes being labelled a "slob" and how he came to his present recognition of the importance of certain aspects of mens fashion and style, it is laid out well into sections, each dealing with one article of clothing, such as shirts, suits, jeans, t-shirts, interspaced are short interview/bullet pointed descriptions of style by celebrities or fashion icons and there is a full index/acknowledgements for pictures.The advice is subjective and some of the strict direction, such as never wear leather bomber jackets, is not always supported but in the main its very good, although there are plentiful truisms, such as err on the side of formal when there is any ambiguity, go with traditions rather than innovations and be wary of attempting to successfully carry of style choices of others, particularly celebrities, as your own. There's simple and good advice on correct ways to choose and tie a tie or bow tie, good information for anyone who is constructing a basic wardrobe for a variety of occasions (even on how to match dress choices to occasions) and making choices of this kind for the first time.The advice on suits was good but I felt erring a little too much towards generic greys, this could be a criticism of the book more generally perhaps, the sense of style, perhaps strict sense of style, of the author comes clearly through. Sometimes the contrasts between style selections or suggestions with garrish and glaring bright colours like bright reds, or with other "fashion fails", like blousey old styles of dress, I felt was a little less helpful and more obvious errors. I had hoped for some careful observations upon finer detail, there can be more nuanced pluses and minuses to style choices than the contrasts this book makes sometimes. The overall idea that you may not be the trend setter and innovator you hope you are seemed sound enough.The points by the style gurus, which includes celebrities from fashion and music, is interesting, often contradicting information from elsewhere in the book but more personal to their choices and less serious perhaps. Often addressing personal grooming, attitudes to music and personal presenations more generally than the specifics covered in the rest of the book too.The main topics covered include shirts, suits, jeans, blazers, "outwear" (overcoats and coats), pull overs, shoes, jewelry (including watches), tuxedos and formal wear.
