Value-based style advice
I have been a long-time reader of Mr. Byron Tully’s. Starting out with his original “Old Money Book”, I have managed to find nuggets of wisdom in his works that I continually treasure and apply.
This recent installment has been a long-awaited and greatly appreciated extension of his “attire” section from the “Old Money Book”. It lends a guiding hand for practical wardrobe choices with a nod to the time-tested classics.
I appreciate how the author took his time to explain a brief history of each item and then offered a prescriptive recommendation for those, like myself, who may need more concrete guidance.
This is truly a value-based way of dressing that allows you to not only wear the uniform (such as the starting five), but exude those crystallized and refined qualities.

I won this book in a goodreads drawing.
A book that tells one how to dress nicely without looking like a poseur or breaking your bank account. A bit too East Coast for me.

I want to preface my review by stating the obvious: I'm a woman. However, I am a fan of the traditional style of dressing and I've always wondered how tough it might be for the opposite sex (it can be almost unbearable for women at times). I really enjoyed the sense of humor that the author sprinkled throughout the book. I especially like the history behind each article of clothing (so much of it I didn't know yet). I also liked how the author made sure to let readers know that they don't have to spend an arm and a leg on certain pieces of clothing, but did let us know when we should splurge. Even though this is obviously geared towards men, I still found it extremely helpful. The author hits on several key points that may be applied to both genders, and one of the main focal points is that clothing should be viewed as an investment. After all, it is what people will see you in every day and it's important to make a good impression at all times.

I won this in a GoodReads Giveaway. Even though it was for men, I found it so helpful for myself. In fact, I probably liked it more than the women’s ones I have read!

Very lazy, such a shallow approach to an interesting topic, but barely any substance. On top of that it really telling that a four-in-hand is recommended as the go-to tie knot.
