A short while ago I was watching an interview with Blur's Alex James, and happened to catch him proclaiming that "no man over 30 should wear jeans". This I did NOT agree with. I mean, you don't *have* to go all out to look like Jeremy Clarkson, with his comfort fit stonewashed, unimaginative 'sacky' jeans...nor did you have to follow younger trends and go for the skinnies or the fashion washes. No, I'm of the mind that a man of any age can wear the right pair of jeans. Regardless of my feelings on that fascist anti-denim statement by Alex James, and my feeling towards my beloved jeans, I suddenly became very concious of not dressing my age. Out went all my slogan t-shirts, fashion washed denims, skinny denims...sportswear...you name it. This left me with huge gaps in my wardrobe, and a total feeling of helplessness as to how I was going to fill them.
Always feeling (and looking, or so I'm told) much younger than my years, 39 crept up on me so suddenly. Still with a gaping void in my wardrobe, I was determined to not go to the opposite end of the spectrum and start eyeing up elasticated waist trousers from Sunday supplements...or, heaven forbid, the cardigan of doom. Just because I was stepping boldly into my 40's, it did not have to signal the end of my feeling good about myself, or about my clothes.
So, with the best will in the world, a friend of mine recommended this book to me...and I swear, I have not looked back since. It has given me the confidence to shop on my own, and has helped shape new styles and tastes. It has not changed me completely; I still point-blank refuse to give up the denim...but now I wear very smart raw indigo Japanese selvedge jeans, and then take my tips from the book...a nice pair of Italian loafers, a dress shirt...and yes, I've even found the once dreaded cardigan can look smart, and not at all like I'm trying to do my best impression of my grandfather.
Especially if you're going to make expensive purchases...suits and the like, clothes that will be with you for years to come, this book is invaluable. You owe it to yourself. It seems I cannot step out of the house these days without being complimented on my attire. What this has done for my confidence I cannot begin to tell you.
The book is great for men in their 20's, 30's and beyond. Timeless, classic looks that will never go out of fashion. I honestly cannot recommend it enough.

Format:Paperback
Absolutley fantastic book,great value for money and an extremely simple read. All the information is laid out in good order and straight to the point with pictures when needed. This book tells you all the basics of how a man should dress,from how your clothes should fit,how much you should be paying for certain items,matching colours,how to identify classic shapes and styles, also features a chapter on grooming. To the young man it is the style bible it claims to be. To the more experianced gent,it is a must have for reference purposes,especially due to the simple direct nature the information is given. 10/10

If you are on the run and want the rules and some nice "touches" on how to dress, The Style Bible is the book for you. The information is presented clearly, without chitchat - all you need to know in order to look nice and properly dressed for each occasion. The quality of the paper may give you the impression of a cheap book, but then again the content of this book is just the tip of the iceberg on male fashion and dressing "know-how". For beginners this book is a must.
To further extend your horizons on this subject I recommend "Gentleman - A Timeless Guide to Fashion" by Bernhard Roetzel or try "Dressing the Man" by Alan Flusser
All the best,

Bit Americanised
Bought this for a friend who has no dress style at all. Had a quick look through but thought it was very Americanised.

Great Advice
If you already know your onions dont bother but if you know little about picking the correct suit and general styling then this is a great read.
