title: Make Over Your Man: The Woman's Guide to Dressing Any Man in Her Life
author:  Lloyd Boston 
description: Today Show contributor, host on E! Entertainment's Style Network and all-around fashion maven Boston comes to the rescue of women who have, at one time or another, considered sacrificing the leading men in their lives to talk show exposs on the sartorially challenged. In his sophomore outing (after 1998's Men of Color), Boston tackles wardrobe "101 basics" and beyond-dipping into fashion history and Hollywood iconography; drawing upon industry expertise from the likes of Tommy Hilfiger (for whom Boston worked for more than a decade) and interviews with high profile pairs such as Tiki and Ginny Barber and Lisa Ling and her dad-to bring readers a practical guide to updating their loved one's personal style. In his straightforward, unbuttoned tone, Boston advocates a combination of tact and encouragement on those much-needed shopping sprees; regardless of a fellow's fashion shortcomings, a woman's judicious use of her "gold seal of approval" nurtures his confidence, a prerequisite for change. And even once he's overcome his unhealthy attachment to khakis, he'll still find this how-to, which is packed with as much fashion advice as a lifetime subscription to GQ, to be a continued resource on the refined arts of haberdashery: Windsor knots, dimples, and yes, that mysterious hand-tied bowtie. Bonus bits include Star Jones's "perfect manicure/pedicure for men" and interior designer John Yunis's tips for keeping closets organized.

  “Well hey there, Point Break.”
  
  
  That was the greeting I got from my friend Jess as she stepped out of the
  clothing store where she worked, hands on her hips as she assessed my outfit.
  
  
  “Hey yourself,” I said, pushing off the vehicle I was leaning against and
  crossing the sidewalk to give her a hug.
  
  
  “Did you come here straight from Ocean Beach? Does that explain this
  particular ensemble?”
  
  
  I was wearing baggy Hawaiian print board shorts, an oversized Santa Cruz
  Surfboards t-shirt that was maybe three years past its prime, and flip flops.
  And I told her, “I was surfing Ocean Beach this morning, but I went home and
