From the etiquette of dressing for all occasions to the meaning of technical terms, Hardy Amies’s skillful eye guides you safely through style decisions on everything from blazers and brogues to skiing and sandals.

”There’s no such thing as a designer of menswear-—it’s only history. The suit around the world is based on the english suit, which began in about 1670.

Any man, whether he’s american, japanese, french or whatever, who wants to be seriously well dressed, looks to the englishman’s suit for how to achieve it.”—from abc of men’s fashion

Useful Reference Book, 2008-07-29
by Curry Mojo (Indonesia)
There 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 ...
Solid but dated advice, 2008-05-27
by Paul Dailey (Boston, MA, USA)
This 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.
A great resource., 2008-05-20

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.
