Although this book was written 25 years ago, it is still a great book. All of the rules for selecting classic fashion still apply today including investment buying, quality, personal grooming and more. For example, I bought this book in my early 20s when I just starting a corporate career. It helped me so much in planning a wardrobe that could be used for work and play. One of the sections that really stuck with me talked about always taking care of your hands because many people notice those first. If they are well cared for then that indicates upper class; whereas on the other hand, poorly cared for hands indicate lower class. Hence I have always conditioned and manicured my hands and never bite my nails! Lots of lessons to be learned here :)
