“Clothes and the Man” is the first book to actually show you how to select the clothes that are the most personally flattering in a way that encourages both practicality and individuality. Flusser begins by tracing the major changes in men’s fashion from the 1930’s to the present.  He discusses the styles of the thirties in great detail, for, in his informed view, these years represent the height of elegance on both the American and European continents.  He addresses such issues as the longevity of the business suit-a uniform that “appears” to stifle individuality-and explains why collars, have evolved the way they have.
