Nordstrom Guide to Men's Style
by Tom Julian
Foreword by Pete Nordstrom
The right clothes can turn an interview into a job, a lunch meeting into a deal, maybe even a blind date into marriage. But the trick is creating an impressive wardrobe that not only looks great, but also looks great on you.
Nordstrom Guide to Men's Style is the definitive handbook for dressing well. Its easy-to-use system helps men identify their personal style from four options: Luxury, Classic, Contemporary and Trend. The book shows how to incorporate that style in suits, sport coats, trousers, shirts, neckwear and tuxedos. What differentiates this handbook from others is that it's based on the expertise of the retailer's top salespeople and tailors and leverages the company's experience from selling menswear to real guys for over fifty-six years.
Fashion insider Tom Julian demystifies the terms, rules, and logic used by menswear experts so you can:
Choose the right fabrics and patterns
Select appropriate silhouettes and accessories
Find the best fit
Create your own personalized look
Assemble the perfect wardrobe for your lifestyle
You'll also find essential technical advice from the Nordstrom Tailor, packing tricks for travel, trivia and style tips, and an emergency stain removal and care guide.
