Below are 10 style books that are here to offer their tips and tricks to stay fashionable, yet comfortable, whenever you’re on the go-go-go!

2. Classy: Exceptional Advice for the Extremely Modern Lady by Derek Blasberg

4. I Love Your Style: How to Define and Refine Your Personal Style by Amanda Brooks

Everything about style and fashion ultimately comes down to what you feel comfortable in. Most of us have seen the fashion no-no show, What Not To Wear and cringed at some of the choices of wardrobe that guests did not want to part with, though the point is that, at the end of the day, it was what they enjoyed wearing. Their clothes may not have been physically appealing, though they were happy and loved it. That’s what I believe the expression of clothes, makeup, accessories, you name it, are supposed to represent: all of the quirks and unique loves that make a person themselves. I Love Your Style further supports this sentiment and offers ways in which one can still incorporate special pieces and designs they like, though in a way that makes them look their very best.
