I love how this book simplifies, yet shows the most essentials about all parts of our wordrobe: shirts, pants, blazers, sweaters, accessories, etc. Photos compliment their very short suggestions. I like that there are many photos, not too much text. It's a great book for any guy who wants to look half-decent in the city.

What was lacking was that it had very little informaiton on best practises on cleaning, taking care of, washing, etc. I wish it would include more photos of more samples : what goes well with that.

Other than that, this is a great purchase.

This guide must be for people who live in a cave. Not much to learn about mens fashion.

I'm not a big Details Magazine fan, mainly because I've always been preoccupied with GQ and the occasional Esquire. When I bought this product I didn't really know what to expect, and pretty much wondered if it would suit my style. Rather than push into a certain style, the book stays on a more broad spectrum, telling you what to consider and what to definitely avoid. This book was very informative and had lots of pictures and ideas. Ranging anywhere from how to pick out your clothes to how to maintain and take care of them, this book opened many new doors for me. This is a must if you're trying to turn yourself into a new man, and are tired of looking like a schlub. I like it and I'm sure you will too.

I recently made a resolution to stop dressing like I'm in college and to start dressing my age, so I picked this book up on recommendation of a friend. The best thing about this book are the excellent photos showing different outfits. I passed up buying some of the "classic" style guides that didn't have good photos. Not all of their recommendations are "me", but it has been very helpful in establishing a good baseline for beginning to build a wardrobe.

Your clothes beyond the weather's reazon...if your dress only because you may not go out naked, you must read this book.

I found this book to be helpful. It presents different types of clothes (shirt, pants, jacket, tie, etc.) and gives examples, when each might be appropriate, and how to combine them with other things to make outfits. It's not a very in-depth book, though. There's not as much as I would like on why something looks good vs. something else doesn't. There's also not a lot on dressing different body types or how to disguise some things while drawing the eye to others. It's a good beginning book.

I liked the styles pictured in the book. It is very useful for shopping and deciding what to wear. My only complaint is that most of the suggestions for clothing are on the expensive end.

Fantastic book. Probably the only Style Manual you'll ever need. Very thorough and a great quality book...plus, you get a free year's subscription to the Details magazine.

I'm very happy with the book. For a guy who is fashion challenged this is just the book.

As something of a men's fashion neophyte, I bought this book on the recommendation of several friends. It delivers exactly what it promises. It explains the basic articles of clothing a man might own or wear to various functions; what the various qualities denote; how to determine when it's worth it to splurge or not; mini-interviews with famed clothing designers about their personal stylistics; and much more, including a free one-year subscription to Details magazine.

The book is written very much like a manual, but the writing style is more of the energetic, upbeat style one would expect to find in Details magazine. I would definitely recommend this to anyone else who is clueless about fashion and trying to change that.

The best part of this book is the visual support for each style suggestion. Not of all of the advice is mind-blowing; I have been keeping up on my men's style mags for about two years and I could have written 80% of this book. The other 20%, however, is thought provoking--especially the sections on three levels of difficulty with a "look" (such as white pants). If you enjoy reading Details/Esquire/GQ, then I would anticipate that you will enjoy having this condensed reference. As noted in other reviews, this book aims to cover everything from trendy to timeless, so if you already know that you want to look like Cary Grant or Andre 3000, then you may want to find a more tailored book.

This book is well-written, accessible, and an enjoyable read. It is very comprehensive and, for someone who really has no clue of how to dress, should be quite useful. However, as someone who has already found their "fashion voice" and is looking for more advanced insight, the book merely confirmed things I had already figured out by reading magazines and speaking with people in the fashion industry over the years.

As a warning: This book is tailored to those in their mid 20s-30s. If you pick up a copy of Details Magazine and you think that the styles aren't for you then skip this book!

The main reason I purchased this item was for its numerous illustrations. Just about every page has a full color picture of clothes. From a glance I can tell just how long a blazer should be. Or perhaps how long a sweater's sleeves should fall when wearing it over top of a collared shirt.

I use this book as a reference manual on how clothes should fit. Need to buy a new tuxedo? Turn to the formal wear section and read up! It also gives you a few basic ideas on how to wear things. For instance, how to match a shirt and tie with jeans and a blazer. It won't tell you exactly how to wear things but just offer you guidelines with some great pictures.

Very nice purchase for those others like me (mid 20s) getting out in the "real world" and wanting to upgrade their wardrobe. For the $20 this book costs you get a free 1 year subscription to Details Magazine ($10 value) along w/ a ton of up to date information (Published October of 2007) so it's definitely worth it.

If you think that window pane suits are a good look, then buy this book right away. If you want to dress like a corporate executive, look elsewhere. This guide is very complete and has many, many colorful photos; however it is also a very trendy guide.

Covers the basics very well, and gives quite a few ideas on how to change things up. Also includes a card for a free year (or year extention) to a Details subscription. Worth the money.

This book should become standard issue for every man after college, if not high school. While style and fashion is a very personal and very individual process, it pays to understand men's clothing.

Chapters are broken down by article of clothing, from shirts, pants, jeans and polos to coats, gloves, hats and leather, everything is covered. And it is all explained in a very direct, excuse me ladies, but man's kind of way, like reading a car manual - almost. It is as good a read all the way through as it is a quick reference guide. In fact, it's as a reference guide that this book really shines. When dressing for any occasion, a quick flip through the book can help you choose the appropriate attire for any event, while feeling both confident in your look and comfortable in your attire.

All in all, men and the women who shop for men's clothing should check this out - especially if you want to start filling your closet with a wardrobe that is ready for anything. Great job, Details.
