Title: Slightly pretentious. But he looks so good doing it!
Review: Plenty of wit and plenty of good advice. Rubenstein assumes that you don't know too much about style and other matters. If you do, then you probably won't bother with this. If you don't, he offers some invaluable advice--everything from how to pack for a trip to which style collar is best for you. Rubenstein relies on classics rather than trends, although he's thoroughly up to date on the more relaxed styles of the 90's. Much of the book is lists, and here he can be a little frustrating. The majority of one-liners are pithy and knowledgable, but some are too esoteric for the rest of us slobs. But snobbery isn't really a problem. The prickly sarcasm is mixed with a little intentional silliness, and readers offended by the occasional snooty barb are missing Rubenstein's point. He encourages you to bend the rules to suit your own style. Style is mostly about confidence. And if you can't take a joke, the suit won't make any difference.
