Fashion is ever-changing, and while some styles mark a dramatic
departure from the past, many exhibit subtle differences from year
to year that are not always easily identifiable. With overviews of
each key period and detailed illustrations for each new style, How
to Read a Suit is an authoritative visual guide to the
under-explored area of men's fashion across four centuries. Each
entry includes annotated color images of historical garments,
outlining important features and highlighting how styles have
developed over time, whether in shape, fabric choice, trimming, or
undergarments. Readers will learn how garments were constructed and
where their inspiration stemmed from at key points in history - as
well as how menswear has varied in type, cut, detailing and
popularity according to the occasion and the class, age and social
status of the wearer. This lavishly illustrated book is the ideal
tool for anyone who has ever wanted to know their Chesterfield from
their Ulster coat. Equipping the reader with all the information
they need to 'read' menswear, this is the ultimate guide for
students, researchers, and anyone interested in historical fashion.
