This is very very brief and not very much of the advice goes beyond common sense. It feels outdated, stodgy and unimaginative. Most any mens magazine can give you eqaul or better advice as could any store clerk.

Molloy's book covers the same ground more broadly and deeply. This book is light on the text, heavy on glossy pictures that don't always correlate with the text, and a pretty good example of packing the minimum of information into the maximum of consumer dollars spent. Buy Molloy's book instead as a beginner book on this subject.

This book is an excellent, easy to read and follow guide for any man wanting to dress well. It is a must-buy for any man going on a job interview, corporate employees, employers who wish to define "casual day", graduates starting out in the job market who wish to build a wardrobe, and spouses/relatives/friends who want to buy for men in their lives (small cut-out cards where sizes can be written in are included in the book so that these can be brought while shopping). Other topics covered include accessories, formal wear, fabric weights and styles, and lots more. I found this to be a most helpful resource that I will refer to again and again!

This book really answers any questions about men's attire: from different types of materials to matching shirts and ties to what to buy for casual day wear. The pictures and extremely helpful! This book is very easy to follow and a great reference! You can get some really good gift ideas from it also. I think the book itself would make a wonderful gift for: Graduation, Father's Day, Christmas, Birthday, etc.

I found this guide to men's attire to be the perfect companion when shopping for a new suit. I will not go into detail about my own experience, but let me just say that I recommend it to anyone who likes to look good. It appeals to all age ranges (I think) whether you are just out of college or looking for just the right thing to wear to the retirement party.
