Okay, so it wouldn’t be the GlamourByLBD if we didn’t include a few “Glamour” books. There are lots of them out there. Some good, some are not so good. These are my favorites because they provide practical fashion advice that considers body shape and lifestyle for those of us who live in the real world.
My favorite all time is the Guide to Quality Taste and Style by Tim Gunn. He is very funny and gives great practical advice to “Make it work” He does a great job explaining body types and how the construction of clothes makes all the difference in the way that clothes look and feel. This is more of a book to read when you are trying to decide what your style should be.
Glamour’s Big Book of Do’s and Dont’s is a great visual guide and covers all the bases from bodywear to bathing suits to business suits to cocktail dresses. And lots of jeans. The advice is good. It does not have as much body type information as it focuses more on what styles are appropriate for any situation. This is a great book to take a quick look when you can’t decide what to wear in a particular situation.
Looking for a great month-to-month shopping strategy to always have the right thing to wear in your closet? Check out Just Try It On: A Month to Month Guide to Fashion and Style by Susan Redstone. Great shopping advice and closet strategies.
