We are in the midst of a cultural shiftan aesthetic inflection pointwhere business norms in manners of dress are changing. "Casual Friday" has given way to the full-time casual workplace. With so many sartorial options you need advice. "The Laws of Style" are just thatclear rules for sartorial presentation through the very practical viewpoint of the office reality of the service professional (lawyer, banker, accountant, consultant)and yet the Laws are so much more. Witty, bright, charming, and informative, The Laws of Styleis at the same time a striking visual resource with more than 40 illustrations created by renowned fashion illustrator Rodrigo Saldana. In addition to the author's 54 "laws of style," the book includes short introductions to highlighted designers relevant to each Law. More than just a simple dress-for-success guide, author Hand's erudite, creative, elegant, and whimsical narrative style is a fitting tribute to the laws he has created to assist you in establishing and elevating your own style-both professional as well as personal.
