As the weather gets warmer and life begins to somewhat slow down, a new book is the perfect summer accessory to keep at your side. Whether you’re seeking a thoughtful memoir about forging a career in fashion, a crafty how-to instructional or advice on advancing your thrifting game, there’s a perfect sartorial read for everyone.
If your summer plans include a visit to The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (or you’re just interested in learning more about the research behind this year’s Met Gala theme), you could brush up on the people and work that inspired it (“Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity” by Monica L. Miller and “The Chiffon Trenches” by André Leon Talley).
If you’re more into photo-heavy reads, you could flip through the glossy images in the Met exhibit’s corresponding book, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” (also by Monica L. Miller) or immerse yourself in the style of Los Angeles with “City of Angels” by Jasmine Benjamin.
