This book is good for explaining which shapes of clothes look good on which figures, how clothes should fit, and how to tie a scarf. While that is helpful, I was expecting to learn some "secrets of style" as the title claims. Some tips on finding a style that corresponds with your personality or lifestyle, how to make it your own, shop for it, and keep it updated...that's what I thought I was buying. Too bad.

Did you ever wish you knew why some women always look so, "together?" What's their secret? This book is a great help to discovering what kinds of clothes look best on you and how to buy and care for clothes that will make you look terrific. I didn't find the entire book helpful, but I think the tips I did get out of the book have helped me dress in a more flattering manner.

What I loved about this book was its superb and very well illustrated outline of what makes a piece of clothing ideal in terms of fit and cut. By drawing my attention to certain areas of fit that I was not considering, this book inspired me to get rid of many pieces of clothing which were nice but did not fit me properly and therefore did not flatter me. That made a HUGE difference in how I felt about my clothes!
I also found it very helpful to see the photographs of Hollywood stars in all kinds of outfits. I just love to see how well they know how to pamper and flatter themselves in their looks! When I look at someone who looks that good, I feel so uplifted about what is possible for me, and I enjoy that feeling very much.
This book has already inspired me to many wardrobe changes, and I know that the process of transformation is just starting for me. I look forward to many more gorgeous outfits that feel so great to me!

I love this book because it's not about following trends or fads, it's about finding what works for you. Too often the fashion industry becomes too concerned with tall & skinny people like they are the only ones who wear clothes. This guide covers just about all types of garments & body types. I was lucky to get it at a used book store for five dollars & I've been using it ever since.

I really love this book! I stumbled across it today at a library book sale and snatched it up. I'm so glad I did! I have been pouring over it all evening, studying each page like a kid playing a GameBoy. This book is a really great resource. The pictures alone are worth the price of this book. This book tell you what is flattering for each body type, it explains different cuts and the ways different items should fit, it even goes over which underwear to wear under that outfit. I particularly like the "Travel" section that provides three lists of items to pack: one for City, one for Beach and one for Country. The lists are great and, if the items are coordinated, very concise.
In short, this book is a gem! If you love fashion as I do, a copy of this book is a must!
