Summary: Great book!! a must have
Comment: This is a great book. I was looking to upgrade my style from just jeans and t-shirts. And this book fit the bill.
This book provides great tips and is filled with LOTS of pictures. There are hints on not only what is good style but examples of what is bad fashion.
I have read this book cover to cover and have used it to totally revamp my wardrobe.
One of my favorite parts is the examples of different uses for the same article of clothing. "How to wear a white shirt for four different occasions" "How to wear a pair of gray pants for four differnet occasion" "How to were a sweater for three different occasions". This helps you build a functional wardrobe that you can truly use.
This is a great overall book and I would recommend it for anyone who is looking to improve their style.

Summary: Details
Comment: I think this is a good book. What I really like about this one is it's all in color. I purchased this one and the askmen.com Style Bible. I like this one better because it has the color pages and shows examples of what goes together and even what doesn't go. Over all, I do recommend this book but I have to give it 4 stars because I think it could have been better. I wanted to see more explanations and different combinations. The book covers everything including formal wear, jeans, ties & how to fold them (two different ways), shoes, jewelry, tshirts, fitting of clothes, mixing and matching, designs that go together or clash, etc. Another thing I thought was cool was with each chapter it shows a picture of a well known designer with their opinion about things related to style.

Summary: Pricey, But Essential
Comment: I bought this book based on a reference in Secrets of the A Game by Logan Edwards. I originally purchased this book to help me find the right look to help me attrac women, but I actually got much more out of it. Of course, it DID help out with attracting women, but also gave me a better perspective on what to wear in many different circumstances in life. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Style Manual
Comment: This book is awesome. I love how every chapter talks about some specific peace of clothing or accessories and the format is just great. It's like reading the magazine but better! I've learned so much! Definitely a must have for a metrosexual!

Summary: Good specific info
Comment: Someone said this was for someone who lives in a cave with no new info, but I found the specific info (how a jack should fit, etc) to be very useful. The sections of how to pair certain things was helpful as well.
Living in Southern California, I found some of the info not useful (wipe salt off your shoes before coming inside? Salt?), and "after fall wear bla bla" we don't care about fall here, or snow melting salt, or over coats. Its sunny every day.
Other than that it was great! Great as reference guide as well.
