À propos de cet audio
“Erudite and charming.”—San Francisco Chronicle
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?
In True Style, acclaimed fashion expert G. Bruce Boyer provides a crisp, indispensable primer for this daily ritual, cataloguing the essential elements of the male wardrobe and showing how best to employ them. In witty, stylish prose, Boyer breezes through classic items and traditions in menswear, detailing both the evolution and best uses of popular fabrics, patterns, colors, and accoutrements. He enlightens readers about acceptable circumstances for donning a turtleneck, declaims the evils of wearing dress shoes without socks, and trumpets the virtues of sprezzatura, the artistry of concealing effort beneath a cloak of nonchalance.
With a gentle yet firm approach to the rules of dressing, Boyer provides essential wardrobe guidance for the discriminating gentleman, explaining what true style looks like—and why.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"True Style is a collection of peppery meditations from a man who has spent decades refining a theory and practice of dressing."—New York Times Book Review
"An erudite and charming new book."—San Francisco Chronicle
"Where fashion was once dictated from the top down, it now rises from the street up. But as G. Bruce Boyer shows in True Style, islands of elegance still survive.... A cheerful attempt to define the underlying principles for dressing well, while at the same time providing some of the history behind what we wear."—Wall Street Journal
"G. Bruce Boyer has, in essence, created an encyclopedia of men's fashion and style.... True Style is the most comprehensive and all-encompassing volume on the topic of men's fashion that has ever passed in front of these eyes.... Besides the advice, the wonderful and knowledgeable narrative, Mr. Boyer offers the reader the history, an aspect of fashion and style that is so often overlooked within this genre of books."—New York Journal of Books
"Into the clatter of bathroom-mirror selfies comes this soothing waltz through the history of men's dress. Boyer...calmly takes the bewildered (and poorly shod) contemporary male by the hand and leads him from the red-soled brocaded excess of European court fashions, through the birth of the modern suit, and into the era of 'heritage denim' and the 400 T-shirt."—Macleans
"There is a casual nature to [Boyer's] prose--casual without being sloppy. He knows the rules of writing, and he knows how to manipulate the medium to provide interesting reading without being ostentatious. Boyer's history of men's clothing and style is informative and entertaining."—Roanoke Times
"There are dozens of new titles every year on men's clothing. About half of them are just rehashed press releases; the others give the kind of tips-and-tricks you see everywhere online and in magazines. Bruce's work has always been worth reading because he's one of the few authors who deal with genuinely classic style, but in a way that doesn't feel like it's just about rules. True Style is a great read for guys who find joy in clothing, but aren't necessarily looking for an instruction manual on how to dress."—Put This On
"In his new book, True Style, the fashion writer G. Bruce Boyer, who has an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of men's clothing, puts today's menswear culture in historical perspective."—It's Raining Menswear
"A collection of articles and essays that not only helps make men better dressers, but also loads them up with fascinating historical trivia to display at cocktail parties."—Apparel
