 Rating:  - Useful Reference BookThere is a lot to learn about fashion, and this book, although written ages ago, is a good, useful guide ... it is in a dictionary format starting from A to Z, but is a good read ... not long and winding like some of the others ... Rating: - Solid but dated adviceThis is a great book to learn and understand the basics of men's fashion. Some of the comments are a bit dated, and clearly lean towards ideas more prevalent in Europe than in the states. But as a primer on the basics of what is what, and when to wear it...this is a solid reference for your book shelf. Rating:  - A great resource.This guide has everything a guy needs to know about fashion and style. It's not hard to comphrend and was very easy to read and understand. It leaves out nothing, so you're always covered. A definite must-read for any guy who likes to look nice. I also suggest another book for it's style tips too, called Chicks: A User's Guide to Dating, Love and Sex.
