Guys i'm looking for books that reveals the basic rules of men's style and fashion like: seasonal color analysis, colour, pattern and shape effect on visual sensation of look, how to dress for different bodytypes etc. Long story short i need some kind of a book that designers and image consultants are learning from.

not the other guy but he's such a shill in every video for the product he's being sponsored by, and outside of a few videos where he talks about good skin routines or whatever, most of his videos and advice are super tryhard alpha

If there's one bit of advice I could give, never trust someone wearing a vest with a button-bown with anything but serving you a drink.

Not sure if it was mentioned already, but Alan Flusser's "Dressing The Man" is a hallmark of sartorial advice.

Hardy Amies has a good read that covers more general areas if Flusser's text digs too deep. Can't remember the name atm but fcks with Goog for it.

Btw, any other ideas gents?

>> No.12834564

you arent going to learn shit about how to dress by reading books

fashion is personal and every rule is subjective

the only to learn is to observe a LOT of different outfits and designs and the people wearing them and try different things yourself.

>> No.12834593

>>12834564
You are right that observation is very important, but let me disagre about books. I'm not aiming to come from dadcore to high-fashion after one book. But i believe that some theory can improve my looks.
Can you say that using dozen of differrent patterns in your look is ok? Or atleast subjective. Or maybe wearing sneakers for a black tie party is subjective? THERE ARE basic rules. As every art is up to the artist but he have to folow some key things.

What you are looking for are entry-level art textbooks.

Color theory is core to dressing well.
