Right Dress: Success Through Better Grooming, published in 1955 by A.S. Barnes and Company, is a 125-page guide for men written by fashion authority Bert Bacharach. Illustrated by Norman Garbo and Jesse Washington, the book offers advice on selecting appropriate clothing, when to wear specific attire, and grooming tips.
