Description
Men and Style reaches beyond standard "what to wear" advice: it is equal parts style guide and intriguing conversation about masculine identity in the world of fashion. The book offers a much-needed source of inspiration for the growing number of men who enjoy expressing who they are through their clothes, manners and lifestyle. Explore the history of men's style and learn from the personal wisdom of some of the most notable tastemakers in the industry and beyond. The book addresses everything from the importance of ties to where to drink in New Orleans to the worst corsage ever worn to a prom. Coggins shares his thoughts on clothes, manners (and misbehaviour) and other gentlemanly concerns, including premature gray, socks or no socks, facial hair, corporate dressing, the difficulties of gift giving and other subjects that men want to discuss and are seeking a forum to do so.
Reviews / Votes
"David Coggins' new book, Men and Style is, as he writes in the introduction, all about "what men wear and why" - and more." * The Chicago Tribune * "If you like wearing clothes, and also reading about clothes, then you should know David Coggins" * Esquire.com * "Men and Style: Essays, Interviews and Considerations is a love letter to men's fashion by the style expert David Coggins. It weaves together the author's style-related reminiscences and his interviews with fashion experts (including The Times's Guy Trebay)." * The New York Times * "[Men and Style] feels like an invitation into a conversation filled with cool guys, who just happen to be talking about style. It's a safe space where men discuss not only their style successes, but also their failures and eccentricities. The result is that a reader feels at ease admitting his own wins, losses, and draws both to himself and those around him. More importantly, it's a fantastically entertaining read." * Playboy.com *More details
