Have you read the book ‘The Island’ by Victoria Hilsop if not I would recommend it.
I was hoping for the movie but instead she gave the rights to Greek TV to make it into series
I prefer this clip here If you have read the book you will understand it even if you do not speak greek.

Manworks ” a guide to style” is a book written by Stan Place and published in 1980. I discovered it in a charity shop .It has got such beautiful illustrations and general instructions on man’s dress code and style .I do not find old/vintage books on style and fashion very often .Normally i come across cookery and garden books
