Esquire Dress Code cover

From the sophisticated men's lifestyle magazine, 'Esquire Dress Code' is the definitive guide to what men need to know in order to dress well, look stylish and create a signature look. Clothes maketh the man - and this book helps you to put together a great wardrobe. Visually bold, and told with Esquire's signature wit and humour, this sophisticated guide explains how to dress for any occasion, no matter your age, shape or size. It covers closet must-haves, investment pieces (like a watch or winter coat), choosing the perfect suit, selecting office attire, outerwear and accessories and much more. Inspiring photos of style icons range from Mick Jagger and Steve McQueen to Lenny Kravitz and Robert Redford. Fashion might change from season to season, but once a man learns to adapt these fashion fundamentals for his personal look, he'll be set for life.
