5.0 out of 5 stars Got style? If not, read this., April 6, 2001

Style is more then dressing. It's attitude, grace, manners and confidence. If you want some of those traits, you'll pick them up by reading this book, or, at least be on your way to getting them.

Highlights: (1) cultivating confidence; (2) elegance and grace; (3) emanating sex appeal; (4) grooming; (5) shopping strategies; picking the right person; (6) sports jackets, slacks, casual wear; (7) at a job, restaurant, bedroom or formal affair; and (8) aging in style.

Also includes reviews of popular men of style, like JFK, Cary Grant, Miles Davis and the Duke of Windsor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly terrific, September 10, 2001

I own six books on men's style so far. The only other author to whom I gave 5 stars was Alan Flusser.

This book is expertly organized. The information is clear, and it is all rather thorough. It takes you from being and idiot (which I was) to being quite well informed (which I'd like to think I now am.)

If you are going to buy only one book on men's style, get this one! If you buy two, get this and _Style and the Man_.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Collection of Useless Quotes from "Experts", March 6, 2005

This review is from: Maximum Style: Look Sharp and Feel Confident in Every Situation (Men's Health Life Improvement Guides) (Paperback)

This books contains the basic information on style and fashion, but it is more a collection of quotes from various "experts." If you know nothing about fashion, grooming, etc, this book would be useful. But if you want to go beyond matching your T-shirt and jeans, then you should read something by Alan Flusser. Overall I was disappointed.
