The Fundamentals of Style - How to be a Well-Dressed Man

by James Gallichio

It's easy-to-follow format features simple and clear illustrations, specifically designed for the Kindle. It even details the best way for men to shop for clothes effectively - from choosing the right stores to selecting garments and dealing with sales assistants.

A short, surprisingly utilitarian account. Got this (free) on a recommendation from reddit. This is basic information on how things should fit, what different types of clothes are, and even some history on some names of clothing. Gonna use this to further my recent goal to stop dressing and thus stop looking like a child.

Gallichio does cover most the basics of fit, construction, and common mistakes that men make dressing themselves. While not an adroit guide, it does educate men in telling quality garments from sub-par ones and avoiding fads that distract from men's style. Useful but men with some knowledge will find this extremely basic. It is, however, the fundamentals after all.

Intresting read and a good overview of the basics of mens fashion.

The book doesn't go very deep and I can't help but feel that 10 dollar is perhaps a bit to much.

I got it for free on the Reddit giveaway so and the content of the book does deserve 4 stars.

Short and objective book about men's fashion. How to measure fittings and alterations possibilities are explained briefly. Good read.
