Fashion is ever-changing, and while some styles mark a dramatic departure from the past, many exhibit subtle differences from year to year that are not always easily identifiable. With overviews of each key period and detailed illustrations for each new style, How to Read a Suit is an authoritative visual guide to the under-explored area of men's fashion across four centuries.

Each entry includes annotated color images of historical garments, outlining important features and highlighting how styles have developed over time, whether in shape, fabric choice, trimming, or undergarments. Readers will learn how garments were constructed and where their inspiration stemmed from at key points in history - as well as how menswear has varied in type, cut, detailing and popularity according to the occasion and the class, age and social status of the wearer.

This lavishly illustrated book is the ideal tool for anyone who has ever wanted to know their Chesterfield from their Ulster coat. Equipping the reader with all the information they need to 'read' menswear, this is the ultimate guide for students, researchers, and anyone interested in historical fashion.

Essential daily protection to complete my routine
As part of my skincare routine focused on improving dark spots on my face, sunscreen is a must. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 70 has a smooth texture, a light and fresh scent, and feels comfortable on the skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a heavy or greasy finish, which makes it easy to use every day. I like how it protects my skin without altering my natural skin tone, making it a perfect final step in my routine. It complements my skincare well and helps me stay consistent with daily protection. The pack also includes three tubes, which is very convenient and practical.

This is the suntan lotion I’ll buy from now on.
Really nice suntan lotion. I brought it to a quick Florida trip in early summer. Very light compared to other products we have on hand. Not greasy. I plan to buy this in future once we run out. I also really liked the set of three 3oz containers which made it perfect for travel. I give this product 5 stars without hesitation.

Best dry-touch broad spectrum sunscreen available.
I've use this for the past 10 years. It is highly effective. In addition, a small amount goes a long way and it is NOT GREASY!! That is a major plus for me. I keep a short beard and it is easy to use with the beard. It functions very well and I have not found a better product. Other than its effectiveness, you can't tell you used it.
