Lessons from Edith Head – How to Dress to Get A Man & Keep Him

Ms. Head gives us a sure fire game plan on how to nab a guy, and even harder, how to keep him. In 1967, you couldn’t stop for a Botox quickie at lunch time. You had to rely on Lycra and good styling tips to show off your god given assets in the best light possible.

But Edith doesn’t want you to just run off and get married to the first bozo that comes your way. Rather, she treats the ritual of finding a guy like a hunt…

“If you don’t know the man, or haven’t met him, do what a hunter does. Go where the game is!”

And were is the game? Airports, train stations, hotel lobbies, anywhere you enjoy a hobby.

She also addresses the wallflower in us all – the girl that doesn’t think she is attractive enough to find a suitor. Her secret? Be interesting. Be interesting to look at.

“Frequently at parties and premieres attended by Hollywood stars, visitors are shocked when they see the wives of our handsomest film stars.  These men who work constantly with women who are the epitome of glamor, very often marry women who are quite ordinary to look at.  The unknowing are inclined to ask “How on earth did she ever get him?”  I can tell you because I know. She interested him more than any other woman.”

She talks about several types of men, and how to dress for them. The Sportsman, the Man About Town, the Intellectual, and the Successful Executive (Don Draper) all have an ideal perfect woman. Edith gives you accessorizing tips for last minute dates with these fascinating me.

Above all, she pleads us women to be a covered girl, and not a Cover Girl because in this society of “topless bathing suits”, and man invariably marries the less exhibitionist woman. Man is a jealous creature by nature you know?

Success Formula for Getting and Keeping a Husband:

1. Decide want kind of man you want.
2. Find out what kind of girls he likes.
3. Know what kind of fashions pleases him.
4. Don’t masquerade in clothes you hate just to attract a man. Be sure you are really, deep down in side, this kind of girl.  If not, find another man!
5. Learn all you can about him – his hobbies, his interests, his likes, his dislikes.
6. Be interested in his interests.
7. Choose your wardrobe to please him and suit his way of life.
8. After you get him, stay the way you were and don’t relax into a post-marriage slump of careless marriage.
9. Look reasonably enticing in the morning – better at night.

Lessons from Edith Head – How to Dress To Get & Keep the Job

In this chapter, Edith Head discusses how to dress appropriately for the type of job you want, but once you get to that rung in the ladder, buck the trends and be yourself. She gives a wonderful anecdote of dressing Sofia Lauren for her role as a poor housekeeper in the film Houseboat. Head says, “Believe me, this took more doing than making Olive Oyl into a sex symbol. It’s harder to make a sow’s ear out of a silk purse than vice versa.”

Here is her Success Formula for How to Dress:

1. Decide what kind of job you really want and prepare yourself for it.
2. Decide if you are qualified for it. If not, look for one you can handle.
3. Find out the “image” of the job – how women in that field or firm look and dress. Ask someone who works there. If you don’t know anyone, go at noontime or at 5 P.M. and watch the women who work there leaving. Find out the general “look” of the employees.
4. Dress carefully for your appointment in what you have found is the generally accepted look.
5. Above all, be well groomed and look like a girl or woman who would be a credit to the firm. Then do a good job!

Lessons from Edith Head – How to Dress Your Family for Success

In the last chapter of How to Dress for Success, Edith Head gave us the perfect formula for dressing to get and keep a man. But what about him? What about what we want our man, and our offspring, to look like? They are a direct extension of us.

“The woman who is always elegantly coiffed, meticulously dressed and fashionably turned out while her mate and offspring look like orphans of the storm deserves, and gets, little credit for her sparkling appearance.”

Clothes Make the Man

Miss Head acknowledges that if your husband is a Dapper Dan, you needn’t worry. However, if your guy is a Sloppy Joe, you may need to take matters into your own hands. She advises you pick out his clothes and lay them out for him. Especially if you want Sloppy to climb the career ladder.

She also suggests you get him a subscription to Esquire “for the articles”. He won’t be able to avoid the fashion so hopefully picks up a fashion cue or two. Give him advice on what looks good on him, but be gentle and tender. Don’t take my approach – “You’re going to wear THAT?” It doesn’t work.

Formula for Having a Better Dressed Husband

1. Take an active interest in how your husband looks and in his wardrobe. Analyze both him and it.
2. Learn about men’s fashions. Know about fabrics, styles, features and prices. Shop men’s departments and men’s magazines.
3. If your husband’s wardrobe concept needs improvement, work with him (rather than on him) to educate his tastes, change habits and turn his indifference into enthusiasm.
4. Shop with him and for him to make sure his clothing i becoming, well-fitted, flattering and properly coordinated.
5. Most important of all, help to keep his wardrobe in condition – clean, pressed and mended. A well-groomed man looks successful and has the best chance of being successful.

Sarah and Kimo Bertram mounted a whale weathervane on their new house in memory of Bob Whaley, the late owner of their first floating home in Mission Creek.  Though surprisingly serene, the creek crosses under a freeway. The house nests in a boxlike concrete barge that provides protection and keel-like stability. The metal siding is finished in highly durable fluoropolymer paint to withstand the harsh marine climate. The couple bought most of their living room furniture on their honeymoon in Indonesia, but they didn’t unpack the crates for two years — not until construction on their new home was finished. The side chair and coffee table were custom-made by Putra Salahin in Bali.

Ceramic wall tiles throughout the house are overstock or seconds from Heath Ceramics, the historic company in Sausalito. The bathroom sink is by Duravit. The low window brings shimmering water reflections into the shower stall. The shower enclosure, like the windows, was custom-fabricated by Bonelli, in San Francisco.
