Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Bright, breezy, irreverent and opinionated, this how-to compendium by the editor-at-large of InStyle magazine assisted by the comedy writer who contributes "Hot Sheet" to Entertainment Weekly, begins with advice on how a sophisticated urban male should dress, then goes on to virtually every other aspect of his life. Rather than a collection of helpful hints, here is a series of ukases about skin and hair care, eyeglasses and scents, traveling, entertaining and being entertained, becoming a restaurant VIP, observing proper business etiquette and living alone or living with another. Some sample dicta: sneakers never look good; designer jeans are not really jeans; always shop alone; stand up straight; don't eat raw seafood anywhere; above all, remember that style is not fashion. But though $500 suits and $150 shoes are not within every male's reach, the book is consistently entertaining, even for those who can't practice what it preaches.

Yes - this book is written with wit and humor. If you're incapable of understanding a joke, then it might not be for you. Some people think it's *about* New York. Far from it - instead, it uses NY as a reference for many tired cliches and how to break them. Quite literate and very engaging.
Aside from the author's writing style, the information presented in the book is outstanding. Much of it is common sense stuff that people just don't think about. The rest is highly informative - allowing the reader to pick and choose what tips they want to incorporate into their own personal sense of style.
I seriously feel that every man sould read through it at least once.
