Of all the overnight celebrities to emerge from reality TV, “Queer Eye’s” Carson Kressley may be one of the more endearing. He has a self-deprecating comic manner that sets him far apart from the stereotypical men’s clothing expert who gets pedantic when he lectures about proper tie width and pocket squares.
It’s no surprise then that Kressley has a how-to book, “Off the Cuff: The Essential Style Guide for Men and the Women Who Love Them,” due later this month.
Kressley, a seven-year veteran of Ralph Lauren menswear, sees a nation of athletic jerseys and polyester pants and concludes that his mission is to help misguided straight men. “Think of me as your very own fashion fairy godstylist.”
What’s most noteworthy is that Kressley gets down to basics and pulls no punches. Never, he says, wear pleated khakis, overalls, trucker hats, polyester shirts, pastel suits, novelty ties or a large belt buckle. And he is right.
