Sure, the Internet is a great resource to find out about men's style. Blogs and sites like us help you find out about the latest gear, dopest brands, and how to put it all together. But before the advent of technology, men's style still existed. Not just in photo-heavy books like Take Ivy or cheeky guides like The Hipster Handbook either.

We took a look at some required reading that not only provides context to the current cycle of hype and menswear blogs, but also contain genuinely useful advice, or unique perspectives from designers. Better get a library card. Here are 10 Books About Men's Style to Read Before You Die.
