Alan Flusser Buch Dressing the Man: Mastering the Art of Permanent Fashion

Produktbeschreibung

Dressing the Man: Mastering the Art of Permanent Fashion is a comprehensive guide for men who want to understand how to dress well with a focus on lasting style rather than transient trends. The author, Alan Flusser, combines extensive knowledge of men's clothing with a practical approach centered on two core ideas: proportion and color. The book argues that permanent fashionability comes from adapting fundamental traits—such as body shape, neck height, shoulder width, arm length, torso structure, and foot size—to chosen clothing, rather than following seasonal fashion flashes. It takes readers through major clothing classifications in a step-by-step manner, helping them apply personalized adjustments to business casual, formalwear, pattern coordination, and selecting flattering silhouettes and shirt collars for individual facial features. Historical and diverse imagery, including vintage photographs of iconic figures like Cary Grant, Tyrone Power, and Fred Astaire, illustrate the range of authentic men’s fashion and support the text’s practical guidance. The work emphasizes tailoring a wardrobe to one’s physical traits as a path to a durable personal style, rather than chasing quick trends. Overall, the book presents a structured, technique-driven approach to building a tailored and timeless wardrobe, grounded in personal measurements and color harmony, with an emphasis on accountability to one’s own physique as the foundation of lasting style.
