Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Those pants you cut into knee shorts five years ago are getting threadbare: The fringes are so long they flutter in the wind like little strips of crepe paper. When you look in the mirror, you ignore stuff you don't think is important, like nose hairs, a few zits here and there, bushy eyebrows. You've probably spent your entire life not really caring about personal grooming other than showering, shaving and using deodorant. And you've always thought, why should you? It's the women who need to look good for you, right? Women like their men to look manly, and that means rough hands and filthy fingernails...right? Yeah, not so fast, buddy. See, when a woman sees you, she instantly makes a decision about whether you are a potential partner based on how you look. If you make a habit of looking like a homeless man in raggedy clothes, you might have more luck panhandling on the corner than finding a date. What you think doesn't matter does, and women are funny creatures, they notice little things that you've never given a second thought, like that monobrow you're sporting. So how do you go about improving your grooming habits? You listen to the experts. Learn from women, take a few hints from men who always seem to look good. Or, you can read this easy grooming guide and apply the lessons you learn here to your daily life. Trust us, the ladies will thank you for it. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK 1. Rock the bald look. If you choose to go bald, do it the right way. Cut your hair close to the skull, and then shave it off with a good quality razor. Don't use a cheap one, use one of those triple-blade razors to get the smoothest, closet shave. You might nick yourself here and there, but once you get the hang of shaving your head little injuries like that will be fewer and farther between. A bald head does come with some responsibilities. You have to take care of your new hairless pate, otherwise you could end up with sunburn, sun spots, freckling, and even wrinkles! Every morning, massage your head with a blend of aloe vera gel, cocoa butter, and coconut oil. This will leave your head so smooth you'll think it's a baby's butt. After all this, spray it with some strong sunscreen. Use a waterproof or sporting-strength sunblock in an SPF 50 or higher. Remember, the skin on your head is more sensitive, and it's the first thing on your body the sun's rays hit. Keep it covered, and keep it healthy... Buy a copy to keep reading!

Download or read book Dressing the Man written by Alan Flusser and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2002-10-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dressing the Man is the definitive guide to what men need to know in order to dress well and look stylish without becoming fashion victims. Alan Flusser's name is synonymous with taste and style. With his new book, he combines his encyclopedic knowledge of men's clothes with his signature wit and elegance to address the fundamental paradox of modern men's fashion: Why, after men today have spent more money on clothes than in any other period of history, are there fewer well-dressed men than at any time ever before? According to Flusser, dressing well is not all that difficult, the real challenge lies in being able to acquire the right personalized instruction. Dressing well pivots on two pillars -- proportion and color. Flusser believes that "Permanent Fashionability," both his promise and goal for the reader, starts by being accountable to a personal set of physical trademarks and not to any kind of random, seasonally served-up collection of fashion flashes. Unlike fashion, which is obliged to change each season, the face's shape, the neck's height, the shoulder's width, the arm's length, the torso's structure, and the foot's size remain fairly constant over time. Once a man learns how to adapt the fundamentals of permanent fashion to his physique and complexion, he's halfway home. Taking the reader through each major clothing classification step-by-step, this user-friendly guide helps you apply your own specifics to a series of dressing options, from business casual and formalwear to pattern-on-pattern coordination, or how to choose the most flattering clothing silhouette for your body type and shirt collar for your face. A man's physical traits represent his individual road map, and the quickest route toward forging an enduring style of dress is through exposure to the legendary practitioners of this rare masculine art. Flusser has assembled the largest andmost diverse collection of stylishly mantled men ever found in one book. Many never-before-seen vintage photographs from the era of Cary Grant, Tyrone Power, and Fred Astaire are employed to help illustrate the range and diversity of authentic men's fashion. Dressing the Man's sheer magnitude of options will enable the reader to expand both the grammar and verbiage of his permanent-fashion vocabulary. For those men hoping to find sartorial fulfillment somewhere down the road, tethering their journey to the mind-set of permanent fashion will deliver them earlier rather than later in life.

Book excerpt: 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? 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 the evolution and best uses of fabrics like denim and linen, accoutrements like neckties and eyeglasses, and principles for combining patterns, colors, and textures. 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 and an incredible working knowledge of the different items, styles, and principles of menswear, Boyer provides essential wardrobe guidance for the discriminating gentleman, explaining what true style looks like-and why.
