DESCRIPTION:
Gravenimages said Good book but the absence of color photos undermines it. Solid, if quite general, information on basic mens style. The writing is good, occasionally snarky, and the advice offered will still be relevant several years from now. The layout is well put together and the celebrity images run from vintage to recent. And I disagree with other reviews dismissing this range as dated. There is a certain classicism represented in the choices, and I appreciate a restraint which avoids too many trendy faces that will be forgotten in a year or two.Unfortunately what weakens this edition from four to three stars is the omission of any color photos. One cannot properly compare dark brown and black shoes in a B&W p. Excellent resource for building an adult, professional wardrobe. This book has great, practical advice for things that a man might not intuitively know (i.e. which buttons on a jacket to button, that a navy suit is more versatile than black, how to pack dress shirts and suits so they don't wrinkle, etc.). I bought one for my husband and we have given away an additional four copies.. DarklyDreamingDexter said The details one is far better for a modern man who doesn't suit it up. All about suits, The details one is far better for a modern man who doesn't suit it up every day
The style-minded reader will find useful advice on suit fabrics and cuts, the right kind of trousers for his build, the essential outerwear to own, how to dress properly for an occasion, how to tie a tie, how to pack for a trip, grooming strategies, and much, much more. Each year, the editors of Esquire produce a special issue of the magazine devoted to men’s style called The Big Black Book, which has been wildly successful. Using the same pragmatic, highly illustrated approach, and laced with Esquire’s trademark humor, Esquire The Handbook of Style brings readers vital information on every aspect of a man’s wardrobe, from suits and shirts, to shoes and neckties, to watches and other accessories. A compact and sophisticated accessory in its own right, Esquire The Handbook of Style will be the style bible for the well-dressed man for years to come.
