Customer Reviews

Timeless Advice

This book is so helpful... it is advice i am amazed i have lived without. I have a copy of this one and "Does this make me look fat?" Both incredibly valuable. Of course it is for anyone who desires to dress in a classic style. Highly recommended.

Truly helpful, but ...

Feldon's book will help you to organize your wardrobe and make wiser fashion purchases, but much of her advice is predicated on two assumptions: that everyone looks good in black (not true and boring besides!)and that everyone should/wants to dress like Audrey Hepburn.

A Great Book!

Love that this book is finally available in paperback. It was written a few years ago, but all the advice and tips really hold up. A classic---deserves to be in print forever! Contains totally useful information delivered in the same fun witty style as "Does This Make Me Look Fat?"---Feldon's latest book, which was featured on Oprah. Really helps you zero in on a personal style and get your wardrobe together. Highly recommended. I already own the hard cover, now I think I'll get a few of these for x'mas gifts!

A woman's guide to classic elegance

Bought this book many years ago, and it has served me well throughout changes in wardrobe due to career, personal finance, climate, and size!! Don't be turned off by the 1993 publication date!! If you are interested in making what you have work and long for a simple, elegant look which is timeless (a la Audrey H.), apply her advice to your next shopping spree. Chances are there are some jewels already in your closet which her hints will help you uncover. I wish I could afford to hire her to be my personal wardrobe manager!!

A tremendously useful and entertaining guide to style.

No silly formulas or color charts; just good common-sense solutions to finding your own personal style and building your wardrobe around it--while staying within a budget. This book is the closest thing I've found to a '90s version of an old favorite, Genevieve Antoine Dariaux's classic (but hardly timeless) style guide, "Elegance"--and believe me, I've been looking for one! Leah Feldon's writing is witty, interesting, and personal--and she really hits the nail on the head sometimes. Now I know why I do and don't like certain outfits in my closet, and have already figured out ways to salvage some good clothes that I've never liked once I put them on.For once I'm actually looking forward to shopping for clothes this fall, because I know what I'm looking for.
