Style is more then dressing. It’s attitude, grace, manners and confidence. If you want some of those traits, you’ll pick them up by reading this book, or, at least be on your way to getting them.
Highlights: (1) cultivating confidence; (2) elegance and grace; (3) emanating sex appeal; (4) grooming; (5) shopping strategies; picking the right person; (6) sports jackets, slacks, casual wear; (7) at a job, restaurant, bedroom or formal affair; and (8) aging in style.
Also includes reviews of popular men of style, like JFK, Cary Grant, Miles Davis and the Duke of Windsor.

I own six books on men’s style so far. The only other author to whom I gave 5 stars was Alan Flusser.
This book is expertly organized. The information is clear, and it is all rather thorough. It takes you from being and idiot (which I was) to being quite well informed (which I’d like to think I now am.)
If you are going to buy only one book on men’s style, get this one! If you buy two, get this and _Style and the Man_.

This books contains the basic information on style and fashion, but it is more a collection of quotes from various “experts.” If you know nothing about fashion, grooming, etc, this book would be useful. But if you want to go beyond matching your T-shirt and jeans, then you should read something by Alan Flusser. Overall I was disappointed.

This guide is a great starting point to a complete fashion make-over, or a refresher for those who . The editors covers head-to-toe (from shoes to hats and from underwear to coats) and inside-and-out (the key points in the art of confidence). I’ve had this book for some time now, and I can say that you don’t have to be from new York ti reap the benefits.

Men are not big into self help. Maybe there is a guy out there that could get a promotion, a date with the apple of his eye, or you but his clothes and grooming are not going to cut it.
This is the clue he has been waiting for.
This book covers it all. The fasion do’s and don’ts. It covers formal dressing as well as casual attire.
Grooming and hygene are covered which may be a blessing if you are in the next cubicle to someone who doesn’t heed the call of soap and water.
The book is written like the magazine in short dabs so there is nothing to get bogged down with. Perfect reading on the train or in the throne room (bathroom to the common folk).
My verdict: Buy this and some of the other Men’s Health Life Improvement guides and give them out as stocking stuffers or as part of the holiday grab bags. In an extreme occasion just leave it on his desk and let him get into it on his own. He shall thank you for it in the long run.
