A collaboration between leading menswear writer Simon Crompton and Jamie Ferguson has resulted in 'The Style Guide'.

The Style Guide is constructed as a series of street-style shots featuring some of the most stylish people in the menswear industry. But unlike most style books, it focuses on practical analysis of every image, picking up why the outfit works in terms of texture, colour or cut.

The book is an attractive summary of the most important style advice discussed by Simon Crompton on PermanentStyle.com over the past decade: the Italian Background, the sliding scale of formality, trousers for grey jackets, dressing for a modern office, and so on.
