From choosing the right pair of eyeglasses to properly coordinating
a shirt, tie, and pocket square, getting dressed is an art to be
mastered. Yet, how many of us just throw on, well, whatever each
morning? How many understand the subtleties of selecting the right
pair of socks or the most compatible patterns of our various
garments,much less the history, imperatives, and importance of our
choices?In True Style , acclaimed fashion expert G. Bruce Boyer
provides a crisp, indispensable primer for this daily ritual,
catalogueuing the essential elements of the male wardrobe and
showing how best to employ them. In witty, stylish prose, Boyer
breezes through classic items and traditions in menswear, detailing
the evolution and best uses of fabrics like denim and linen,
accoutrements like neckties and eyeglasses, and principles for
combining patterns, colours, and textures. He enlightens readers
about acceptable circumstances for donning a turtleneck, declaims
the evils of wearing dress shoes without socks, and trumpets the
virtues of sprezzatura, the artistry of concealing effort beneath a
cloak of nonchalance.With a gentle yet firm approach to the rules
of dressing and an incredible working knowledge of the different
items, styles, and principles of menswear, Boyer provides essential
wardrobe guidance for the discriminating gentleman, explaining what
true style looks like,and why.
