ABC of Men's Fashion

‘Deerstalker: Sherlock Holmes wore one. You need not.’ ‘Turnups: You can’t have any.’ These are just two of the hugely entertaining entries in Hardy Amies’s very firm guide to men’s dress. His perfectly honed eye guides the reader safely through style decisions on everything from blazers and brogues to skiing and sandals. Originally published in 1964 and illustrated with delightful period photographs and drawings, it provides a fascinating window into the etiquette of men’s dress in the 1960s.
