Fashion Today- What women can learn from menswear

Call in the experts.
Since men have limited clothing choices, guy style is truly in the details. And, men who are interested in fashion often develop a sensitivity to the finer points — button placement, lapel widths — that other people hardly notice. (Don't believe me? Try asking a group of fashion-conscious dudes what they think of button-down collar shirts with a suit and tie.) 

Classic men's style guides, or even a good sewing manual, have a fascinating wealth of info about design, construction, and how to assess a garment's timelessness and quality that apply to men and women's clothes. These are invaluable in training your eye to notice details and will make you a way more discerning shopper — and, bonus, you'll be able to opine on club collars and Windsor knots with the best of 'em.
