This is a comprehensive handbook of classic and timeless men's attire for every occasion and any time of day for the modern man of the world. Some call it style, others a matter of taste - that certain "touch" some men have that lets them pick out and combine just the right suits, shirts, ties, and shoes.
Actually, there is no trick to dressing stylishly as a man. You just have to become familiar with the tried-and-true classics and their history. Peruse this richly illustrated guidebook and take a peek into the studios of the best tailors and shoemakers on the international fashion scene. Read which shirt Gianni Agnelli wears, and what kind of underwear Andy Warhol preferred.
In a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience you will learn all there is to know about fabric, cut, patterns, colour, and the optimal care and clothing of a man from head to foot. From the perfectly placed tie knot to custom-made shoes, from casual sweaters to a top hat, everything you need for the appropriate outfit is explained in detail - and in the process, you'll become an expert in the finer points of life.
Following his studies in design, Bernhard Roetzel was first a copywriter and ideas man for advertising agencies in Frankfurt and Hamburg, as well as a script editor for a television production company. He has been concerned with the world of classic menswear for more than 15 years. In addition to his work as an author and editor, he gives talks and seminars on questions of style.
