Publisher's Note
Here, at long last, is the highly illustrated and practical guide to the art of informal dress you've been waiting for. It will help you build a business-appropriate casual wardrobe and project the style you want, whether you're a recent college grad or chairman of the board. Look inside for fresh ideas, commonsense rules, and friendly advice on how to assess your clothing personality type and transfer it to corporate casual; dress casually for business travel and special situations, even those like power lunches ... negotiation sessions ... client entertainment ... and, yes, job interviews; stock your closet with basics that'll never let you down; determine which colors and combinations send the right message about you - are you creative, an academic, a power broker?; use clothes to look younger, older, or thinner; figure out what casual look is appropriate for whatever kind of business you're in; and decide what to wear on Fridays and other company dress-down days.
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.
