Trendsetter Andrea Linett has that rare ability to distill fashion talk into advice that everyone can follow, and in this book she shares the style wisdom she's gathered over years of working in the fashion industry. Here is only the content that matters: wardrobe classics, leather, denim, suits, dressing in black and white, dressing up, getting the right fit, layering, accessories, and hair. Linett's fashion philosophy is illustrated through precise tips and photos of women who do it right, and from them we learn how to develop personal style. Did you think a Canadian tuxedo (denim on denim) was an absolute faux pas? Not if you pair the right shades of denim and dress it up with some serious heels. Were you under the impression that your hair should get shorter with age? That rule no longer exists. Do you want to know how to wear black and white pieces together without looking like a cater waiter? The black and white chapter is filled with some ingenious examples. Finally, Linett rounds out the book with checklists, including must-haves for a hardworking wardrobe, how to breathe new life into old pieces, how to make a trend your own, and how to make sure everything you buy actually fits.… (mehr)

This was a fun, informative book - felt like I was reading a fashion magazine, with more details. The book had lots of color photos and advice about how to wear various styles and clothing items - using a variety of real people who range in age and "looks" - all from the fashion world. Included info on hats, jewelry, hair and makeup. What I liked best was the emphasis on finding your personal style and being comfortable with what you're wearing. This was a guilty pleasure for me, read under the guise of "educating" myself. ( )

In which a slim, financially secure lady, and her chums...models, dress designers etc- put together stylish 'looks'. And they are stylish and look cool (mostly..not sure about that woman in a jumpsuit. Or the one in denim top to toe. Or whether if I adopted the funky fashion tip of combining socks with wedge sandals, people wouldnt think I'd escaped from a care home...) But it's terribly prescriptive ...these ladies all have jobs where they have to look good but can have a bit of freedom. So lots of jackets, white blouses, smart jeans... The author merrily tells us at frequent intervals to have your tailor tweak a garment...since that would seriously add to the cost, it's a massive thing for me to use their services! Nothing here caters for the poorer, fatter, shorter female. You feel it's a bit of a prescriptive uniform...despite being told to wear what we feel right in, none of the participants do hippy clothing, zany prints...they're all smart navy and beige. Interesting browse from library (equivalent of reading a woman's mag) but wouldnt buy it. ( )
