Style and Substance: Why What We Wear Matters : Garnett, Bay: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: A Must Read - An absolute delight for the style/fashion aware! Solely for the section on Oscar Wilde and Proportions this book is a gem. I had never even heard of The Rational Dress Society. So much fascinating and interesting opinions on what we wear and why in this book. A treasure!
Review: Boring - A tedious read. Don't bother.

### ⭐ Boring
*by W***Y on 11 February 2025*

A tedious read. Don't bother.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Packed with fashion style references
*by N***6 on 16 May 2025*

Nice and compact book about fashion style with some history. It has profiles of fashion icons. It's more of a reference book and just a nice handbag size pocket book.
