Description:From the front flap: "Coty Award winner Alan Flusser is convinced that any man can learn how to dress with style and good taste - all that is needed is the proper education. In 'Clothes and the Man', Flusser sets out - through the use of detailed illustrations, both black and white and full-color photographs, and a comprehensive text - the basic principles involved in fine men's dress. According to Flusser, American men all too often confuse dressing 'fashionably' with dressing well. This is unfortunate, for as Flusser makes clear, fashions come and go, but cultivated style endures. Furthermore, given the high price of clothing, it is certainly far wiser to buy clothes that will stand the test of time, leaving you in good stead regardless of the whims of fashion. 'Clothes and the Man' is the first book to actually show you how to select the clothes that are the most personally flattering in a way that encourages both practicality and individuality. Flusser begins by tracing the major changes in men's fashion from the 1930s to the present. He discusses the styles of the thirties in great detail, for, in his informed view, these years represent the height of elegance on both the American and European continents. He addresses such issues as the longevity of the business suit - a uniform that 'appears' to stifle individuality - and explains why collars, cuffs, vents, and many other items of men's clothing have evolved the way that they have." Chapters include: Sportswear, Neckties, Dress Shirts, Footwear and Hosiery, Accessories such as belts, suspenders, handkerchiefs and jewelry, Formal Wear, Headwear, Wardrobes for the different seasons of the year, and more. "In addition, 'Clothes and the Man' contains a unique gatefold, consisting of over 60 fine-quality shirt samples, from luxurious prima and end-on-end cottons to the more casual tattersalls.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
