Summary: Great Book
Review: Most men's clothing books tell you how to dress, as if you were [mentally impaired]. But this gives you plenty of great ideas from movie stars throughout the 20th Century. Style never changes (even if fashion does) and this book proves it!

Summary: dressing swellegantly
Review: redford as gastby clothed by ralph lauren, and more recently,tom ford, late of gucci, is leaving milan for hollywood. does fashion imitate the movies or vice versa? the book is a great concept, but it wasnt as exhaustive as it could have been. theres a real emphasis on steve mcqueen and cary grant-but we already knew those men were dapper dressers (does anyone remember adolphe menjou? he was as elegant as could be!). carson kressley was right, this book is a good primer for dressing swellegantly. its printed beautifully, the photos are some ive never seen before-but if youre looking for something a little more in depth regarding movies and american style, page through tommy hilfiger's 'all american'.

Summary: Style can't be taught--but it can be inspired!
Review: This isn't a book for beginners. If you need someone to teach you how to get dressed--buy another book. But if you want inspiration for developing your own style, this book will get you excited about getting dressed in the morning. It doesn't dictate how you should dress. Instead, it tries to show timeless style from the kind of men other men look up to.

Summary: Jump start your imagination
Review: What men lack most is imagination. They're so afraid of being thought weak or gay if they think about their clothes. But movie stars know that clothes are character and this book should really make a man feel more comfortable taking his clothes seriously. It doesn't preach; and it doesn't prescribe; it just finds cool guys from every era of the movies.
