What I Thought

A Guide to Quality Taste & Style is a nice little styling book. It goes over basic things to consider like cleaning out closets, shopping, and dress codes. It was a considerably quick read. The information seems like a good starting point, especially if you've never taken a good look at how you dress. I already followed a lot of the advice presented, so there wasn't much new for me. However, I still enjoyed this book.

The Second Book

What I Thought

Plus Style is a slightly long but informative read that covers measuring, style, color, proportions, underclothes, and more. There were a lot of things that were out of date, but it was still interesting to see the difference between the style of today and that of when this book was published in 1996. Although some of the information was outdated, there was still advice that holds true even today. For example, how certain lines, shapes, or color combinations can move the eye towards a particular direction.

Even though these are two very different styling books, I still found them helpful and enjoyable.

I give both books

Thanks for reading.
