Customer Reviews

Great gift for my BF

Terrific book - lots of useful info & really lush (tons of illustrations, nice feel). My BF said he felt much more confident going to buy a suit for his new job. Can't say better than that!

Very highly recommended as a basic foundation examining men's style trends

Nordstrom Guide to Men's Style is a top pick for any fashion or arts collection, whether it be at the college level or for a general-interest library. It packs in details ranging from button counts to stitches and beyond, examining the progression of men's styles and staples in both classic and alternative looks. Very highly recommended as a basic foundation examining men's style trends.

Styling advice for the novice

Classic styling advice in a concise format from a reliable source. Good book for the gentleman wishing to project a professional image in various situations. Would make a nice gift for a college graduate or for a person changing careers and entering the business arena.

Refreshing style/lifestyle point-of-view

I feel like shouting from the rooftops, "this is NOT the same old book on men's style with countless references to days of yore that, while sartorially correct, have very little to do with how men should and want to dress today." If I'm into dressing and looking good, then I kind of have to think everyone else is. Maybe it's partly in response to the current economic climate, or just that guys are much easier with dressing themselves and need to make the right impression. It's survival of the fittest out there. I am so happy I purchased this book. I like the way it's written and it tells me things I need to know and will actually do.

Great Advice for All

This little book bursts with helpful information for all men of all ages in terms of looking their best; be it "formal" or Saturday morning at the farmers' market casual. Written in easy to understand terms, with loads of helpful illustrations, there's NO EXCUSE for a guy not to look his best and find his most comfortable style. A great gift, a great dressing room resource, an all around "must have". Wish the author would tackle women next.....I'd be first in line for that one!
