Summary: Chic Simple for the Impaired Dresser
Review: Chic Simple books are just as the title implies: simple, for the fasionably impaired, yet very chic and well designed. I bought this book for a male friend, hoping he might take the hint! This book would be perfect for a male who has the potential to be fashion concious. Chic Simple is a series of books that combine beautiful photography of different fashion outfits or elements, with simple guidelines on how to wear them. They are probably most well known to readers of InStyle magazine, they have fashion spreads in it every month that are always helpful. As I said before, this would be a great gift for a male with fashion potential!

Summary: Clashes with companion "Men's Wardrobe"
Review: I have previously read "Men's Wardrobe" from Chic Simple and found it very good. Bought "Shirt & Tie" by the same authors, hoping for more of the same quality. Sorry to say it was sadly missing. Shirt & tie is a much abreviated edition. Small in size, small in information. I in fact managed to read it on breaks before I even got it home from work. Color Photos and a crisp layout can't make up for the lack of content. Finished the book and came off with the feeling that it could have been very good. Even the shirt & tie combos given as examples of what worked together didn't. Better off staying with the larger, more informative Men's Wardrobe.
