Mark Twain said, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." If you wear clothes, why not wear the right ones correctly? The problem is that most men do not know what the right clothes are or how to wear and care for their clothes properly. This unique book reveals more than fifty big and small secrets that most men neglect. The secrets have never appeared in previous literature because most fashion experts and writers do not know these secrets either. * Why do so many men wear a crooked bowtie? * Why is it smart to hang your necktie according to the length of your face instead of the location of your pant waist? * Why is it dangerous to wear the Atlantic and Merovingian Knot? * Why shouldn't you wear shirt sleeves the same length of your arms? * Why shouldn't you wear the same sleeve length for both barrel and French cuff shirts? * Why shouldn't you iron or starch a non-iron shirt? * Why shouldn't you cup your fingers to determine the proper length of a jacket? * Why is it wise to choose between a two-button and a three-button jacket based on the balance points of your face? * Why is it better to have the pant legs finished with a slanted bottom? * Why is it unnecessary to match between the colors of your socks, pants and shoes? * What are the advantages of mercerized cotton? * Why should you vary the colors of your clothing for health benefits? (Do you know a blue shirt only allows blue light to pass through and reach your skin?) * Where should you wear a tie tack, clip or chain on your tie? * And much, much more. Dr. Ivan Chen has written a dozen books on men's clothing, which few fashion experts were able to write. If you refuse to receive the same old or wrong information and advice from other sources, Dr. Chen's books are a must read for you.
