True Style: The History and Principles of Classic Menswear
Autor G. Bruce Boyeren Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 sep 2015
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?
How
many
understand
the
subtleties
of
selecting
the
right
pair
of
socks
or
the
most
compatible
patterns
of
our
various
garments-much
less
the
history,
imperatives,
and
importance
of
our
choices?
