No other man has influenced American style more profoundly than Fred Astaire. Replacing the stiff-suited, aristocratic uniform of the day with his looser, more democratic look of tweed sport jackets and easy cut flannels, Astaire became a new model for the Century. Nonchalance, natural charm and effortlessness would now replace the pomp and circumstance of men s style that preceded it.
A quick read, almost too quick. Just a few written pages, and then the rest of the book are photos, very nice photos I might add. I would have liked to have read more about his life and what his secret to always being stylish. Never the less, a good book to have in your collection of men's style.
