A must own...

This book even though I haven't had the time to go through everything is a must have for any men older than 14 years of age. It doesn't matter if you don't know anything or if you have spend a lifetime defining style there will be something in this book that will make it worth the time and the money.

great book

before buying this book i thought i have some idea about how to dress well, but i didn't have a clue, just to give you an idea i have to discard like 9 or 10 jeans because they weren't right for my body type, rescue some old clothes because they were timeless in style, learn about colognes that were right for my skin type(another area where i was clueless),i mean the list is endless, the only thing i didn't like was that there are very few pictures but overall it has some great great info buy it

Must have for young men

Bottom line, this is a great book for men...period. I'm a 26 year old army officer who's about to make the transition into the civilian workforce. The only suits i've ever owned are ones that my mom helped me pick out. I've often watched a movie such as Miami Vice and wondered how to put together a killer outfit that you'd see onscreen. After reading this book I feel confident that I could go out and put together some good looking ensembles. Although the suit info is where this volume really shines, it also provides excellent info on everyday clothing, formal wear and even hygiene. It has a great section on matching body types and skin tones to clothing, as well as how to pick a great pair of jeans. In all, this book was very thorough, covering all clothing situations from black tie to gym wear. My only regret is that this book wasn't available when I graduated from high school and college. One should know that the focus of this book not on being "trendy", but rather on putting together a timeless, classic wardrobe that will always be in style. I highly recommend this book to all men, but especially young men growing up, stepping out on their own in life and needing to put together a solid wardrobe.

Truly the Style Bible

This Book is great, any man who needs to have some dress sense ought place his left hand on this book raise his right hand and swear to live by its principles for the rest of his life "so help him God"

Just what I needed

I have no taste in style, especially upscale events, this book was exactly what I needed. It covered EVERYTHING and is a must have for the many of us guys who have no idea what they are doing when they dress up.
