Blog Bites – The Book That Every Well-Dressed Man Should Read

Today we are going to tell you about a very special book.

Dressing The Man: Mastering The Art of Permanent Fashion by Mr. Alan Flusser.

Since we at A Step Above Style value your time (and because you already know why you’re here) we’ll jump right in.

Let’s begin.

Topics Covered In This Book

Below we will share a few brief details about the contents of this book.

A few of the topics in this book include but are not limited to:

• Color (How to pair colors together)
• Understanding the importance of shoes
• Accessories
• Black Tie Etiquette
• Neckwear (ties)
• Understanding how to pair patterns together

Who This Book Is For

This book is a great resource for several types of men.

It’s helpful to those men just beginning their style journey and needing to learn both the history and the basics of menswear. This book helps explain how things like suits, ties, and proper footwear came to be in the first place.

Additionally, it can be used by those who have some knowledge of menswear, and just want to “sharpen” their skills when it comes to dressing well.

Lastly, it can be used by the aspiring bespoke tailor, serious menswear enthusiasts, and sartorial journalists to build their foundation of knowledge.

As the three aforementioned types of people will know much more about menswear than the average man, this book can serve as a “textbook “ of sorts.

While “Dressing The Man” has an abundance of information that the average reader may never completely get through, those with a future career in menswear may want to completely read this book from cover to cover.

Conclusion

We at A Step Above Style highly recommend this book to our readers. One of our four content pillars is Style , and this book is very comprehensive on the topic.

Until next time, y’all have a good one.

  Closet decluttering is often presented as a dramatic event. Remove everything. Create a giant pile. Keep only a small number of items. Get rid of the rest.

• Blog Bites – Keep the Memory Without Keeping Every Object
  Sentimental possessions can be some of the most difficult things to release. An old shirt may remind you of someone you love. A box of schoolwork may represent your child’s early years.

• Underconsumption or Just Real Life? Why Using What You Own Is Trending Again
  A nearly empty bottle of lotion. A pair of shoes that has been repaired instead of replaced. The same outfit worn repeatedly. A phone kept long after a newer model became available. These ordinary choices now have a social media label: “underconsumption core.” The trend gained attention as people began sharing repaired clothing, well-used possessions,…

• Is Your Side Hustle Actually Making You Money?
  Side hustles are often discussed as if every dollar earned is additional income. You make $1,000 selling products online. You earn $500 driving on the weekends. You collect $2,000 from freelance clients. Those numbers may sound impressive. But revenue is not the same as profit. The money coming in does not tell you how much…
