The Casual Style Guide

$95.00

 Unlike most style books, the self-published book "The Casual Style Guide" by Permanent Style focuses on practical analysis of every image, explaining why the outfit works in terms of texture, colour, or cut.

Most street-style compilations are just a series of pretty images that often look good because of the location or the individual, not necessarily the clothes themselves.

In contrast, "The Casual Style Guide" demonstrates why these images and outfits work by using ideas of formality, color combinations, and mixing sartorial and more casual clothing. The result is an attractive summary of the most important style advice discussed on PermanentStyle.com over the past decade.

While Simon Crompton's other books "Best of British" and "The Finest Menswear in the World" focus on history and quality, respectively, this book is about style - what makes it, what drives it, and how to replicate it.

The book is supported by Viberg, and a special photoshoot in the back features Simon and Jamie wearing footwear with the same practical, accessible style theme as the rest of the book.
