Dress Your Best: The Complete Guide to Finding the Style That’s Right for Your Body
Dress Your Best: The Complete Guide to Finding the Style That’s Right for Your Body: The sweet yet knowledgeable and even assertive fashionistas who are the hosts of the hit cable TV show What Not to Wear set their precepts down in print in this delightfully upbeat and decidedly informative primer for both men and women. Their firm, understandable, and workable advice is underscored by their desire not to change anyone’s body type–no preaching about dieting here–but simply to get people to understand their own body types and dress appropriately for the best effect. Kelly and London take 15 real women and 8 real men as “subjects,” representing all types of bodies, from “bigger on top” to “barrel-chested,” and with both illustrations and text, they suggest, for each subject, three outfits to wear for work, weekend, and evening. This book should be regarded as fun reading, not as a chore; the authors’ approach to fashion is not as an arcane code capable of being grasped only by certain enlightened people. In their hands, fashion is not only about looking good but also about having a good time while doing so.
