Customer Reviews
Rating:  - Know what to wear in any situation
This book is great because it tells you pratical advice about what to wear and not wear in different events. It also shows how you can go from work to play or other events without having to go home and change compleatly. This book provides real advice that you can actually use.
Rating:  - Shaping Individual Style
Pros:
* Very practical tips for most shapes of women
* Great illustrations to highlight points
* Left me wanting more information on good styles for
my body shape
Cons:
* Too general - I'd prefer to buy a book on only my body shape
* The directory at the back is mainly London centred. It would be
preferrable to have local shops inserted for countries of purchase.
Rating:  - For laughs only....
What medication were they on when they compiled this book? I love their show, and have enjoyed some of their other books, but this one is over the top silly. If you're looking for "What to Wear to Clown School", this is the book! Swarms of butterflies swirling over your head for a wedding? You must be kidding. If you're curious, I'd hit the local library, there's a reason these books are selling for a penny here. I never give bad reviews and I adore these two women, but there is little of practical value for most women in this book.
Rating: - Somewhat Useful
I thought that this book was sort of useful in some sections, but others did not fit my lifestyle at all and some of the good ideas seemed to reveal too much to me (wearing a suit jacket with no shirt.) That sort of exposure is considered inappropriate in the circles I run in.
Rating:  - Quite a let-down
I've enjoyed Trinny and Susannah's other books and picked up quite a few tips from those, but this book has me shaking my head. Worst is the career-dressing advice: it might be fine if you've got an entry-level position, but if you're at a managerial or professional level, forget it!
For one thing, Trinny and Susannah seem to have a strong allergy to suits or, for that matter, any clothes that are conservative or classic. Well, trendy doesn't work for everybody, and it doesn't work all the time. Some of their "don'ts" work as well as, or even better, than their "do's". And some sections are overlong; do we really need numerous versions of skiwear and after-ski wear?
