Synopsis

A New York Times Bestseller

Men and Style reaches beyond standard "what to wear" advice: It is equal parts style guide and intriguing conversation about the masculine identity within the world of fashion. David Coggins explores the history of men's style and learns from some of the most notable tastemakers in the industry and beyond. Its essays and interviews discuss the lessons men learned from their fathers, the mistakes they made as young men, and how they emerged to become better men.

Some of the most dapper men in the world discuss bad mustaches, misguided cologne choices, and unfortunate prom tuxedos. All the men here have arrived at a place in the world and have a keen understanding about how they fit in it. Men and Style celebrates singular men who've lived well and can tell us about how they earned their worldview. They're smart enough to absorb the wisdom that's hidden in the world, and even smarter to wear that wisdom lightly.

Books on men's style are plentiful, but the bar is higher than cynics might expect. Typically, the goal isn't to encourage wild flamboyance but to offer practical, historical guidelines and encourage individuality. Alan Flusser’s “Dressing the Man" is the encyclopedic standard, a good combination of......more

Coggins is wonderful in his sections but not all of the other contributors were to my liking (shocker) Strange but I think this book would be more enjoyable if I followed all of the contributors on social media...fat chance of that. For aspects of style, why not talk about how expensive style AND fash......more

Goodreads review by Eric on May 29, 2017

Entertaining portmanteau of a book - some essays of Coggins, a number of amalgams of colleagues and notable's memories and recitations ("my first suit," etc). A fun read with some good ideas, engaging and bite sized, with lovely design.......more

Goodreads review by Alec on November 24, 2023

A charming read on the style adapted within one’s wardrobe and lifestyle at large. The essays had their moments, the ‘interviews’ (more aptly referred to as Q&A) could have used a round of edits.......more
