Like most other guys, I'm an imbecile when it comes to fashion Exactly What I Wanted. Luckily, I realized this recently and started trying to correct the problem2009-01-23 Rating 5. The Details Manual is a book I picked up, seeing that ratings-wise, it was the best selection. I'm really impressed with it. The book contains guides and models on what should be a mans closet; it touches on most subjects regarding a mans wardrobe options: Jeans, Shirts, Blazers, Suits, etc. The book gives you the basic parts of clothes, and how they should fit. I'll use the first chapter (shirts) as an example; first is shirt basics (parts of the shirt: cuffs, collars, etc. ), it goes on to shirt options giving a few examples of decently nice shirts, after examples it tells you the characteristics of a perfect fit like how it should feel like when sitting down, from here it goes to collar types, dressing options, a kind of challenge for the chapter (challenges are on every chapter), and finally ends with the don'ts of shirts (EX. Don't unbutton your shirt too far, and it tells you why). I don't really agree with the person who said this book is for 20 to 30 year olds, I think this is a great, standard manual so to speak, for a man at any age, thats my opinion though. I bought this for my husband, to educate us both on how we can update his wardrobe Good start for fashion education. We were pleased to see a simple layout, lots of pictures to see why things work, and lots of diagrams2009-01-22 Rating 5. Just what we were looking for. Very good guide for people who want to dress well Details. Men's Style Manual. It is an easy book to be read with good background and photographs2009-01-19 Rating 4. This is a great book Great book!! a must have. I was looking to upgrade my style from just jeans and t-shirts2008-12-28 Rating 5. And this book fit the bill. This book provides great tips and is filled with LOTS of pictures. There are hints on not only what is good style but examples of what is bad fashion. I have read this book cover to cover and have used it to totally revamp my wardrobe. One of my favorite parts is the examples of different uses for the same article of clothing. "How to wear a white shirt for four different occasions" "How to wear a pair of gray pants for four differnet occasion" "How to were a sweater for three different occasions". This helps you build a functional wardrobe that you can truly use. This is a great overall book and I would recommend it for anyone who is looking to improve their style. I think this is a good book Details. What I really like about this one is it's all in color2008-11-28 Rating 4. I purchased this one and the askmen. com Style Bible. I like this one better because it has the color pages and shows examples of what goes together and even what doesn't go. Over all, I do recommend this book but I have to give it 4 stars because I think it could have been better. I wanted to see more explanations and different combinations. The book covers everything including formal wear, jeans, ties & how to fold them (two different ways), shoes, jewelry, tshirts, fitting of clothes, mixing and matching, designs that go together or clash, etc. Another thing I thought was cool was with each chapter it shows a picture of a well known designer with their opinion about things related to style.
