The Style Guide
The Style Guide
From the world’s foremost authority on classic menswear, Simon Crompton at Permanent Style, along with photographer Jamie Ferguson present this volume on style.
The Style Guide is constructed as a series of street-style shots featuring some of the most stylish people in the menswear industry, but unlike most style books, it focuses on practical analysis of every image, picking up why the outfit works in terms of texture, color or cut.
The effect is an attractive summary of the most important style advice discussed on PermanentStyle.com since 2007: the Italian Background, the sliding scale of formality, trousers for grey jackets, dressing for a modern office, and so on.
Compared to other books by Simon Crompton, if Best of British is about history, and The Finest Menswear in the World is about quality, this book is about style - what makes it, what drives it, and how to reproduce it.
