Dressing the Man You Love
By Betsy Durkin Matthes





A well organized, non intimidating resource, "Dressing the Man You Love: A Woman's Guide to Purchasing, Coordinating and Caring for His Classic Wardrobe," pushes aside the curtain marked "for men only" to explore the world of men's time honored fashion.

With sections on: how to assess a man's clothing needs, the best cut of suit for any body type, the right colors for different complexions, surviving the men's department experience, the elements of a quality garment, how to work with salespeople and tailors, as well as simple rules for successfully mixing and matching apparel, this book is an invaluable tool for any woman looking to improve the appearance of the important men in her life.

Also included are "secrets of success" shared by other women with similar challenges as well as an unlimited number of suggestions by the author for preserving his newly acquired assets, including tips for laundering, mending, polishing and storage.

With its abundance of illustrations, an easy system for helping him maintain his look even when she can't be there, as well as an extensive glossary and index, this book provides a one stop guide that is accessible and fun to read.
