Dressing the Man

October 30th // 3 Comments

You may remember this post on men’s fashion. Looking great is not solely about being dressed in the latest designer duds. Rather, it is about dressing the part day in and day out — in a way that fits your own unique style, yet not committing a fashion faux pas. Just recently, I finished a book by Alan Flusser, author of Dressing the Man: Mastering the Art of Permanent Fashion. If you haven’t had a chance to read it, it provides some great examples of fashion past and present and even has great insight on what “business casual” really means along with great reference material on coat sleeve lengths along with great pictures to help demonstrate the different styles.

Not only is this a great gift for him (or even a gift for her), it is also a great conversation piece for your coffee table. It is available at AbeBooks.com, Borders and Target.com for around $32.

Have you already read this book? If so, what did you think about it?

Lots of love,
Loren

    Loren,

    My girlfriend reads your blog quite often. We got this book a while back, because she was tired of me dressing in a t-shirt and jeans all the time for her company outings. I’m really glad you liked the book too!
