About this title

Review

"Being a modern man isn't easy; luckily, French style guide Suave in Every Situation has all the answers." --Metropolitan

"Filled with everything from genuine pearls of wisdom ('A gentleman is a role model. He is the mirror, reflecting the world as it should be-ruled by the heart'), to outrageous situational etiquette ('how to drink from a shoe with aplomb!'), Suave In Every Situation walks a fine line between being judgy, playful and even downright practical with advice that's delivered with an unquestionably French savoir faire." --Sartorial Life

"Rebels eschew the boring suits of a traditional hotel exec wardrobe. But, what should one wear to a BBQ or on election day? When is a turtleneck appropriate and can one adopt elements of a grunge look and still be considered a gentleman? This book's humorous - and, natch, stylish - take on all things sartorially smart contains the answers." --www.lemiami.com
