A beautifully preserved vintage style book from 1979, Dressing Right by Charles Hix is as much a visual time capsule as it is a guide to men’s style. Exploring everything from personal style and body language to dressing with confidence, the book captures an era of menswear that feels effortlessly masculine, playful and surprisingly timeless.
Throughout its pages are striking fashion and portrait photographs by some of the most influential photographers of the era, including Bruce Weber and Herb Ritts, alongside an incredible mix of color and black-and-white imagery. Think sun-soaked tailoring, bare skin, classic American sportswear and that unmistakable late-70s/early-80s editorial aesthetic.
Today, it feels less like a traditional style manual and more like a collectible photography and inspiration book — perfect for a coffee table, styling reference, or anyone drawn to vintage menswear, male portraiture and fashion history.
Vintage condition; expect the character and gentle signs of age that come with an original copy.
