Guys dont wear wolf pelts anymore; but not much else has changed in the world of mens clothes: the right suit; or tie; or shirt; or shoes still projects mystery; erotic potential; and power. And to negotiate these hurdles with style and confidence; Mens Style is indispensable---a valuable source of practical advice for how to dress in a world of conflicting fashion imperatives; and a witty guide to the history; trends; codes; and conventions of mens attire.In chapters and amusing sidebars on shoes; suits; shirts and ties; formal and casual wear; underwear and swimsuits; cufflinks and watches; coats; hats; and scarves; Russell Smith steers a confident course between the twin hazards of blandness and vulgarity to articulate a philosophy of dress that can take you anywhere.Here youll find the rules for looking the part at the office; a formal function; or the hippest party---and learn when you can toss those rules aside. And youll find level answers to all of your questions. What color suit should a man buy first? Should socks match the belt; pants; or shoes? What tuxedos are always in; and which arent ever? And whats required of ambiguous social situations like "dress casual" and "black-tie optional"? The answers are here; in a book thats full of trivia; history; and guidance---finally; the perfect guide for brothers; fathers; sons; and selves.

SATO BOOK SINGSBy prisca71Serious Thoughtful; this book combines a Zen physical energy approach with essential brush steps and progressive options for painting Japanese ink wash; or sumi-e. The book is of adequate size for visibility and sharing; the content is expansive in range of skill. The layout clearly details this presentation that is complemented by the well paced and meditative DVD. The DVD makes for a good teaching tool. Thank you Mr Sato.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Easy and clear languageBy sabrina villasentilde;orMr Satos description is exceptional! Easy and clear language.
