Review
``On casual Fridays, how does a man appear to be serious about his career, and not as though he's about to go fishing? "The key is remembering that competition in the boardroom does not disappear with the removal of the jacket and tie," says Mark Weber, Vice Chairman of Phillips-Van Heusen Corp. and author of Dress Casually for Success. . .for Men, a simple, common-sense approach to Friday dressing. Weber's book can be found at all major bookstores throughout the U.S.'' (

``A book especially for the man stuck between his white shirt and tie and his favorite football jersey. Dress Casually for Success. . .For Men not only gives the do's and don'ts and the how-to's of business casual dressing, but it also includes a chapter titled ``Clothes 101'' that is a primer on fabrics, fibers and jacket, shirt and pants styles.''

``The author covers the basics and details of dressing appropriately and stylishly in the 1990s. . .with dashes of wit. . .this is a very practical and easy-reading book'' (Rowe, Jeff

``In ``Dress Casually for Success. . .for Men'' (McGraw-Hill, $17), author Mark Weber points out that ``nine out of 10 companies have some form of casual dressing, [including] IBM, Dun & Bradstreet, Burger King, Ford Motor Co., General Motors. . the dressing down of the American workplace isn't a new phenomenon--just one that's gathering steam in the form of media coverage and the fashion industry's capitulation'' (Johnson, Marilyn

``Amid all this confusion comes Dress Casual for Success. . .For Men (McGraw-Hill, $16.95), which makes sense of this thing called ``casual workplace dressing.'' A ton of books and videos purport to solve the problem facing millions of fashion-impaired chaps who stand before their closets each morning crying, ``Oh, dear, what am I supposed to wear?'' First, Dress Casual acknowledges that it's OK not to embrace a casual style at work. For those who want to look casual and professional, however, here is a dandy primer for figuring out how to strike the balance without breaking the bank. The book contains plenty of what you-need-in-your-wardrobe lists, too: top 10 lists for ``a dress-down casual business look,'' ``a more formal business casual look,'' ``a more dress-up business casual look.'' Dress Casual for Success is a valuable read. Buy it, read it, live it.'' (Hood, Marshall
