Product Description
TV's new fashion guru Gok Wan, presenter of Channel 4's 'How to Look Good Naked', shows women of all shapes and sizes how to look great with their clothes on and off! His first book is packed with expert health, beauty and styling advice to make you look and feel fabulous without cosmetic surgery or drastic dieting. Women are constantly bombarded by images of the 'perfect shape' and targeted by companies selling low-fat products. And a recent survey reveals that 98% of British women are unhappy with their bodies. Gok Wan, the loveable stylist from Channel 4's 'How to Look Good Naked', wants to change all that. His mission is to boost women's confidence and help you to love what you've got without resorting to drastic dieting or cosmetic surgery. In 'How to Look Good Naked', Gok draws on his experience of styling models and celebrities to help ordinary women make the most of their bodies - to flatter your best bits and minimise the parts of your body you hate. 'How to Look Good Naked' contains all the tricks of the fashion trade and loads of insider beauty tips to help you feel a million dollars, whatever size or shape you are. With tips on how to choose the right pair of jeans, which underwear will make you slim and super-sexy, how to choose the right accessories to slim you down, plus treatments, exercise advice and more. Gok says: 'I can slim you down by changing your clothes!' After reading 'How to Look Good Naked', you'll feel like a new woman.

4.0 out of 5 stars You don't have to loose weight or be rich to look great!, 17 Jun 2007
By U. Hartmann (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The best thing about this book is its overall message: you do not necessarily have to loose weight or be rich to look your very best on a day-to-day basis! Gok's approach is 'drink more water, eat more fruit&veg and take good care of yourself'- no diet fads or expensive plastic surgery (see '10 years younger'!) needed. The book focuses on different types of body shape (big bottom, big belly, no curves, too skinny etc.) and provides LOTS of helpful advice as to what to wear and (probably even more important) what not. The last chapters focus on underwear and general beauty routine. All of this is very helpful and the writing style is very similar to the tv show, very positive and encouraging, all about flaunting your best bits and keeping quiet about the rest. I can honestly say that I have never read such a positive book about this subject: Gok does not preach or patronize, but seems to really want to bring the best out in everybody.
The only shortcoming is a lack of photographs. It would have been nice to have more pictures accompanying the advice given in the text. But apart from that: absolutely recommendable!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars very helpful, 30 Jun 2007
By Reeta (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Five stars because although the book is not perfect I applaud the kindness of the author. An interesting aspect is that Wan himself tells us that he was overweight. Quite obviously he is not now - yet this is emphatically not a diet book. What seems to have happened is that the author styled himself to feel better about himself and the weightloss followed in due course when he was happier about himself. This book is so brilliant because it starts with what's right about you rather than with what is wrong, working with your self-consciousness rather than totally disregarding it. All teenage girls should be given this book and the author should be given a knighthood. Read in conjunction with watching the TV show.

My only criticisms: perhaps the style is a little cloying; but I'll live with that since I know he is trying to put the reader at their ease. Also sometimes it's hard to know exactly what shape you are: e.g. am I a pear shape, a bird with a big bum or petite? Maybe some comparative measurements would be useful. Worst thing would be to accidentally go for the wrong shape. Really I'm a combination of all three so how to work with that? There is some limited advice but more would be good.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great confidence booster, 22 Jun 2009
By Wayne Redhart "Also on Twitter!" (West Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: "How to Look Good Naked": Shop for Your Shape and Look Amazing! (Paperback)
Ever since Gok Wan first graced our televisual screens, he has been doing a tremendous job of helping the nation's ordinary folk to feel good about themselves. When it comes to makeover TV, the man is virtually without peers. Each time Gok Wan waves his magic wand, one can see exactly how it is that he came to earn a rightful place at the top of the (gold-sprayed Christmas) tree of fashion. However, admittedly, his channel 4 show is not my absolute favourite make-over programme, if I'm entirely honest. Doreen and I absolutely adore the one where they hand out advice to the parents of aesthetically-challenged babies. It's remarkable to see the extent to which a formerly repellant infant's image can be improved through some shrewdly contemporaneous accessorisation. Frankly, the procurement of flatteringly figure-hugging nappies ought be viewed as nothing short of any responsible parent's duty to their child. Tastefully applied cosmetics/tattoos/body piercings etc can also work wonders for those newborns that failed to be gifted with an advantageous genetic make-up. Any unfortunate parents who are currently suffering the embarrassing burden of a physically repulsive offspring should be sure to look out for 'Pimp my Baby' on cable TV.

Anyhow, apologies for straying a little off the point! As huge fans of Gok Wan, himself, we have yet to miss an episode of his channel 4 shows. It was only natural that I should pick up a copy of this book for Doreen. To some, the notion of trying to improve their appearance in the buff by buying different clothes may sound slightly puzzling. Indeed, the truth is that (while this book does contain healthy living advice) the real changes are largely the product of the confidence that can be instilled- rather than that of any drastic alterations to one's unadorned physical attributes. Skeptical as some may be, it is genuinely remarkable to see how much of an improvement standing tall and proud (well, simply standing proud, in Doreen's case) can generate, once the subject is down to their Birthday suit.

So, the difference in my wife Doreen has truly been phenomenal! While I would never have gone quite so far as to describe her as the shy type, the increment to her self-confidence has manifested itself beyond all conceivable expectations. Indeed, this is where this book should really be supplied with a warning, as she now hates to fence her body inside the boundaries of garments. However comfortable wife may be in her new found sense of body-image, one has to concede that certain limits upon a lady's self-estimation really SHOULD be retained. While Doreen is certainly proud of her substantial assets, I am sorry to say that her antics at last Sunday's match did not impress anyone but herself. Although the police were lenient enough to release her with a (final) warning, I fear that it will be a long time before the ban upon our attendance at future games might feasibly be overturned! Glorious as our son Crispin's goal-scoring scissor kick was, the headmaster's damning condemnation of Doreen's unashamedly bare-back pitch invasion (during the school's under-eight B team match) was frankly more than justified.

So, in summary, this is a greatly uplifting book for those who lack the confidence to whip their drawers off (without first drawing all the curtains and applying for their home to be formally disconnected from the national electricity grid). However, any gentlemen who are thinking about purchasing it for their wives should be sure to provide adequate supervision during use. The fact is that sometimes you CAN end up with a little too much confidence...

PS. It's a fascinating fact that Gok Wan can be rearranged to form a rather interesting anagram, the first word of which is 'go' (although I forget what the second one was).
