Let it be known that while he was defeating Nazis and chewing on cigars, Winston Churchill wore light pink underwear of the finest woven silk. (Such extravagant bloomers were necessary, he claimed, because of his very sensitive skin.) Dandyish details like these abound in Barry Singer’s “Churchill Style” (Abrams Image, $25), certainly the first book dedicated to the wartime leader’s fashion sense, among his other intriguing superficialities, like dictating a speech in the nude.
