Nordstrom Guide to Men's Style is a top pick for any fashion or arts collection, whether it be at the college level or for a general-interest library. It packs in details ranging from button counts to stitches and beyond, examining the progression of men's styles and staples in both classic and alternative looks. Very highly recommended as a basic foundation examining men's style trends.

 "Great book for the man who has STYLE" 2009-09-01
By T.L. Winner (Duluth, GA)
This was definitely the book for me. I love shoes, clothing and dressing to impress. There's fashion, and then there's STYLE. I believe that dressing with STYLE is the way to dress to impress. STYLE is not about wearing the latest fashions; it's more about knowing how to coordinate colors and patterns, proper fit, and what and how to make clothes look good on Y-O-U. This book is for the man who has STYLE. I spend lots of time on the internet, in men's stores, and in men's departments of major department stores looking at clothing and shoes, and reading about STYLE and fashion. This book is the most comprehensive collection of usable information on men's STYLE that I have found. I trust it because it comes from Nordstrom, the quintessential customer service company (read the "Nordstrom Way: The Inside Story of America's #1 Customer Service Company"). Believe me, I have no affiliation with Nordstrom other than being a big fan since a friend of mine turned me on to them in the early 90's. I've been hooked every since then. This book is a reasonable reflection of Nordstrom.

However, it's not all good. Since Nordstrom's roots are in shoes (and they sale lots of really fine shoes), I was really shocked and disappointed that they didn't go into more detail about shoes (colors, coordination, types, quality, etc.) Overall, this is still a really good book.

 "Concise Guide for the Beginner" 2009-08-29
By S. Schmitt (Las Cruces, NM)
This book is good for a beginner. You figure out your style according to four models and can see advice for suits, ties, shirts, socks, and shoes. Advice for style spans from formal to semi-formal. I picked this book up while waiting for a friend at Nordstroms and had to have my own, Amazon-priced copy for help buying nice clothing and dressing like a pro. The appendix also shows how to tie ties, bow ties, and lays out accessories.

 "Great basic guide" 2009-06-29
By Duane Falk (Pittsburgh)
Best of the men;s style books. The photos and classification of style guidelines by classic, contemporary, trendy, etc. helped immensely. Good solid advice. A bit of an advertisement for Nordstrom;s as you would expect, but not onerously so.

 ""Fitted" makes all the difference" 2009-09-11

 "Good looking and good fitting shirt" 2009-05-17
By The Thinker
In the last couple of years, I have bought about a dozen of these shirts in different colors. They look great, and the "fitted" cut is good for people who are not overweight, eliminating the extra fabric blousing around your midsection. Excellent.

 "Needed a good shirt and quick!" 2009-05-11
By Joe Krotick (Pa.)
I would recomend this shirt to anyone reading these reviews.Can't beet the price,quality and fit.Can't go wrong with black either. As long as you

can keep dog hair off of it. Had a bunch of dress shirts in the past, but I think this one is probably my favorite. Fitted shirts are perfect if you are slender and know your dimensions. Not to single anyone out. But some of us gym rats need threads to.

 "Nice shirt if your not fat" 2009-03-28
By JACK (SEATTLE)
I just got this shirt in the mail a few days ago and I love it.

I usually go for all cotton but this shirt still has a nice feel to it.

It is very fitted and if you have a beer belly, it may be too tight.

 "Fine-woven fabric, lasts for years" 2009-05-08
By Peter (Madison, WI United States)
I ordered two of these shirts to replace some old Van Heusens that I wore regularly for five years. They appear to be identical to my old shirts: pinpoint fabric (finer weave than regular oxford), fitted cut, accurate sizing, subtle colors. I own a few designer brand dress shirts, and my Van Heusens are as nice as any of them. I hope these shirts are as durable as my old ones.

 "Blood spot on shirt" 2009-02-06
By nb (Utah)
The shirt itself is very nice however, there was a blood spot on the arm when we received it. I believe that possibly whomever packaged the shirt may have poked him or herself with a pin. I have not been able to get the blood spot off. I contacted Shirt Company but have received no response.

 "Dressed For Success" 2009-05-31
By B. B. (Baltimore, MD)
My husband really likes the texture and the way these shirts wear. I am the one who washes and cares for his clothing and I like them because they are very easy to care for. A cycle through the washer, and I hang them on a hanger while they are still wet and allow them to air dry--when they are dry, I tumble them for a few minutes in the dryer to allow the minimal wrinkles to fall out--no ironing! Color stays vibrant and fabric stays crisp. Great value for the money.

This shirt is comfortable and serviceable. I ordered two a few months ago and when it came time to replace some more shirts I came back. That should tell you something. I wear a 17½x37 so they are hard to buy off the shelf without paying throught he nose. The price is very reasonable.

In offices across the country, dressing casually for work is the norm, not the exception, every day of the week, not just Fridays. But what are the rules for business casual? How can men figure out what's appropriate and what's not, without sacrificing or compromising their personal style? Over the past year, GQ, The New York Times, and even Fortune Magazine have all offered advice and counsel about making this transition--but this worrisome and universal problem still poses a fashion challenge for most men. So how can today's businessmen dress without getting a dressing down? Dress Casually for Success. . .for Men answers those questions, and helps men figure out how to dress with authority, style, and comfort, without breaking the rules. It shows readers how to handle the new fashion edicts, guides them through the intricacies of fabrics, patterns, accessories, and colors, and ultimately will help them project just the right image at work and at play, from power lunches to job interviews, to business-related nights on the town. In today's offices and boardrooms, it's the subleties that can make or break a look. Complete with black-and-white and color photos, easy-to-use charts, and quick references for Fashion Do's and Don't, here is the first and only guide to going corporate casual with flair and confidence.

 "not enough information to make it worth it" 2002-04-13
By Justus Pendleton (Colorado Springs, CO United States)
Luckily this book can be read in a sitting...big text and few pages. Too bad there isn't enough information to make it worth sitting long enough to read. This book commits the single biggest mistake that any fashion book can commit: it doesn't have pictures (especially color pictures) of the things it is talking about. Wonder what worsted wool gabardine is? I sure do! They give a definition but no picture is present for me to understand how this is different from some other kind of lightweight wool.

The book does a few guidelines about kinds of clothing to consider wearing and ways to care for them. However, we're talking about a few dozen pages of information. That's the kind of thing I would expect to find on a webpage for free.

The biggest problem is they don't offer a lot of guidelines and never seem to tell you what things you absolutely shouldn't do. So what you're left with is a few ideas but not really enough to build a wardrobe on. You'd do just as well browsing through a few GQ magazines while waiting in line at the supermarket and then heading to a nice clothing store to figure out what worsted wool gabardine is on your own.

 "Decent job on an obscure subject." 2001-09-10
By (Middletown, NJ United States)
The first third or half of the book is a waste of time. But the rest makes it worth buying.

Most books only give a passing explanation on casual friday. This one analyzes it to death. They give names for four different types of casual dress, and give guides and even wardrobe lists for each of those styles. It definitely helped me figure out what image I want to present.

My criticism is that like many magazines, movie reviews, entertainment shows, etc, it hates to say "don't." There are too many "you could try this" or "some would prefer that" type answers, and it doesn't really tell about the gaffes people might commit. Also, more and colored photos would help, but most any book on the subject would likely have that same flaw.

I don't believe there to be a better resource on business casual dress, and to the Van Heusen group's credit they don't plug their stores much at all (aside from a few Bass Weejun mentions). Buy it, tear out the first 3-4 chapters, and be happy.

 "a good solid book" 2001-03-23
By MISTER SJEM (CALIF BAY AREA United States)
This is a good book for people who want to dress better at casual work places or, in my case, men who are looking to improve their style.

That's one of the problems: not a lot of good style books out there for men. This one does a pretty good job, showing illustrations to help you along and giving some key points.

Definitely worth a look. Also, even better, check out Carole Jackson's COLOR FOR MEN. I wrote a review over there, too.

 "This book offers good points for men of all ages and size" 2001-01-29
By Bert & Sherry Keena (New Mexico)
I thought this was a good reference book. It offers good points on casual dressing for men of all sizes. I have two jobs, one as a male dancer and the other as a real estate agent. I must wear casual dress wear and sometimes I just don't match. This book provided me with information on how to wear anything from jeans and tennis to slacks and sports jackets.

 "Keeping it simple" 2000-03-26
By Richard G. Kahn (New Jersey)
I work for a company that allows me to dress "business casual" every day. I have to admit that I was not sure what that ment, before reading this book. I have to say that many things in the book are "no brainers" when you think about them. The book is good because it brings it all together. It is a good guide to help you avoid the mines in the mine field called "casual business"
