Product Description
Product Description
Written by the magazine’s former senior fashion news editor, Harper’s Bazaar Great Style reveals the secrets of the world’s most fashionable women, and how to identify the look that’s just right for you. Jenny Levin dispenses with the runway’s usual liturgy of ephemeral designer creations in favour of practical advice – being chic is about putting your own stamp on what you wear, and building that timeless wardrobe. From the ten commandments of dressing and the five pieces every woman should possess, to lessons on how to accentuate your assets, mix and match, and layer like a pro, Great Style covers it all. Each chapter includes insider advice and styling tips, along with quotes from top designers and the stars of fashion. Collected together in a beautifully illustrated guide, this book contains an abundance of information no woman should be without: whether you want to dress professionally, pick the perfect ensemble for a night out or simply flatter your figure. With Harper’s Bazaar Great Style the solution to the eternal complaint ‘I have nothing to wear’ is as easy as turning the page.

Format:Hardcover
This is truly a great book on how to style you and your fashion. The chapters cover the fashion basics, your shape, office elegance, evening glam, casual chic - everything you need to know to look good and clothes to suit your age and body shape. It is full colour, with celeb photos and clear tips. Highly recommended to all!

Format:Hardcover
I've bought quite a few style books recently and this is by far the best simply because it has pictures and lots of them. So many books in this genre only have line drawings or even worse no pictures at all which is useless when you're wanting inspiration!
All the looks are classic and you can imagine wearing them and feeling comfortable. It's not got lots of faddy looks and covers lots of different age groups.
I think the only downside I can see is that there is only a small section for larger ladies, most of the women shown because they are celebrities are quite slim. Trinny and Suzannah or Gok Wan show more varied body shapes.
Overall I will be referring to it lots in future and it's definitely helped me with the transition from dressing like a student to looking more professional.

For a woman of my age (50+)who has been reading fashion books for over thirty years - this is one I'll be keeping, not donating to the local charity shop. The book scans all age groups and offers advice on timeless style to all.

Nothing new...
I was disappointed with this book, which was full of the usual fashion editors' cliches, with no evidence of original or creative thought. Read more
