<p><b>From a leading menswear expert, the essential guide to gentlemanly style.</b></p><p><b>"Erudite and charming." -</b><i><b>San Francisco Chronicle?</b></i></p><p>From choosing the right pair of eyeglasses to properly coordinating a shirt, tie, and pocket square, getting dressed is an art to be mastered. Yet, how many of us just throw on, well, whatever each morning?</p><p>In <i>True Style</i>, acclaimed fashion expert G. Bruce Boyer provides a crisp, indispensable primer for this daily ritual, cataloguing the essential elements of the male wardrobe and showing how best to employ them. In witty, stylish prose, Boyer breezes through classic items and traditions in menswear, detailing both the evolution and best uses of popular fabrics, patterns, colors, and accoutrements. He enlightens readers about acceptable circumstances for donning a turtleneck, declaims the evils of wearing dress shoes without socks, and trumpets the virtues of <i>sprezzatura</i>, the artistry of concealing effort beneath a cloak of nonchalance.</p><p>With a gentle yet firm approach to the rules of dressing, Boyer provides essential wardrobe guidance for the discriminating gentleman, explaining what true style looks like-and why.</p>
