(本書為The Mr Porter第二集)
當代男性時尚經典指南，要你生活有型又快樂！
英國男性時尚零售網站「Mr Porter」不僅販售全球超過170家知名品牌衣飾，同時提供實用的穿搭建議、最IN的時尚情報與貼心的生活指引。這個網站同時證明了一件事：當有說服力的文字加持時，時尚衣著也能在網路銷售上佔有一席之地。
由主編Jeremy Langmead主導的《The Mr Porter Paperback》將網站精華透過紙本印刷，優雅合度地給予新世代男性一個全新定義。書中包含多篇訪談與問答，從欣賞爵士樂的方式到如何調出血腥瑪麗，促使男性日常生活更豐富多彩。另外還有好物推薦、風格解析以及站方人員針對騎士夾克、針織領帶、Polo衫、毛衣等主題發表的精闢文章。
如同Jeremy Langmead所言，這個時代已經沒有所謂的時尚準則，也沒有任何潮流是你一定要去跟從的。現在你該讓自己過得舒適，找出最適合你的生活方式，並且好好地享受每一刻人生，這才是最重要的事。(文/博客來編譯)
The first volume of The Mr Porter Paperback: The Manual for a Stylish Life is a witty compendium of life and style advice for the modern man. Compiled by Mr Porters Editor-in-Chief Jeremy Langmead, it covers everything from the essential (how to take care of dress shoes or charm the in-laws) to the just-in-case (how to pull off daring feats or dance at a wedding). Derived from the sites online journal (which has a large readership), the diverse content includes interviews with male icons inside and outside the fashion world (John Pawson, David Hockney, Irvine Welsh...); profiles of style icons past and present (Jean-Paul Belmondo, Bob Dylan, River Phoenix, Haile Selassie, Tom Waits and many more); mini-features on fashion classics including the knitted tie, the biker jacket, the polo shirt; sixty pages of The Knack, snippets of advice on everything from how to behave in a spa to how to mix a Bloody Mary; and much more. The cover is crafted to evoke traditional letterpress printing methods and the book comes with a silk ribbon bookmark.
