Description

Featuring 26 different male and female body types, this work offers advice on dressing for every occasion (work, weekend and evening). In the bestselling tradition of "Trinny & Suzanne's What Not to Wear", but with a broader reach, this is an authoritative and irreverent fashion guide that matches every conceivable male and female body type with the perfect work, casual, and evening attire. Underlying Clinton and Stacy's approach is the belief that we can all look great, regardless of body type and they bring the same philosophy to their book. The structure couldn't be simpler, or more useful: 18 women and 8 men top heavy, bottom-heavy, and everything in between will be pictured in a black bathing suit (yes, our hosts will volunteer as two of the body types!). Three subsequent spreads will then show the individual outfitted in the perfect work, weekend, and evening ensemble for their type. Sprinkled throughout will be boxed fashion and style hints that are effective for everyone, not just the body type pictured.
