Neither style or substance,
Very disappointed with this book , offers one very basic page of advise on dressing for your body shape i.e. slender/small-busted /full-figured, which lets face it girls is what we really want to know. Unless your are form the planet Mars and do not know the difference between a shirt and a jumper .. keep your money and put in towards a yearly subscription to the in Style magazine.

Disappointed
The information contained in this book was quite general and I did not feel that it was detailed enough regarding classic versus contemporary fashion. The information provided was something anyone would come up with on their own if they read even a few fashion magazines. Regretfully, there was not a single item in the book that made me re-think my wardrobe or give me any "Ah-hah" moments.

I love this fashion guidebook!
I loved this book. It's a great follow up to the other Instyle book's I've collected over the years. This fashion guidebook provides helpful and relevant insights to the young adult shopper. I especially like the info about how to jazz up an otherwise plain outfit with cool accessories.

Did not live up to expectations
Things I liked: The way this book showed more than one way to wear a piece. I also liked how it identified items that you should splurge on. Of course both of these things can be found in any magazine or online at little to no cost.
Things I didn't like: The book doesn't really address different body types, which plays a large role in what styles you buy. It also doesn't say how many of any certain item you should have. Should I have 1 suit or 20??
Overall, if you want a book on style I would buy the Luck Shopping Manuel. That book is worth the money!!
