OFF THE CUFF is all about dressing to make yourself feel confident. With his signature wit, Kressley gives blunt advice on everything from pleats (they make your butt look big) to the Penny Loafer (Happy Days are here again). OFF THE CUFF is divided into chapters breaking down the basics of shoes, shirts, pants, suits, accessories coats, etc. Dividing each chapter is Carson's Closet, which features illustrations of his own personal clothes for various looks such as "Urbane Cowboy" to "City Chic." This is a very helpful (and humorous) guide for the Everyman---whether he just wants a checklist on the basics or wants to develop a personal style.
