When I was much younger, I used to care a lot about what I wore and what my clothes made me look like. Nowadays, all I care about is being comfortable inside my clothes. Still, when I saw this book, I picked it up, thinking it might help me at least to some degree.
Reading through it, I felt the book was more concerned about the neatness of my closet than about how I felt inside my clothes. Yet, in the beginning pages of the book truisms exist such as, “Style is found only by looking inside yourself,” or “Visual therapy is where fashion meets psychology and spirit.” The best saying belongs to Epictetus quoted at the beginning of the book. “Know first who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.”
Then comes the part that defines a person as to age group, body type, lifestyle, arena (where you are) etc. I dared to take the style test on page 33. Of the five different style types, Classic, Chic, Whimsical, Bohemian, and Avant-Garde, I scored equally high in classic and bohemian styles that contradict each other. Although there were allowances made for the combinations of other styles, these two were not there. Well, I knew I couldn’t be helped in the first place.
The following chapters are about being kind to your closet and avoiding the clutter in it. My closet is not what I wear on me, and it stays cluttered especially because I don’t like shopping. No, cross that. I hate shopping, while the authors here tell the readers to give away the clothing clashing with their newly acquired style (that is, according to their tests) and fill in the gaps with new purchases.
New purchases? This is where they lost me, because I keep clothes from Noah’s Ark, and I am not going to assassinate my passé fashion. My new acquisitions (only when absolutely necessary) are from online or mail order catalogs and I accept whatever they put in the box as long as it is my size.
One of the things in the authors’ favor, however, is the advice that says, “Don’t be consumed by the latest trends while filling your gaps.” Plus, there are no references to this or that designer.
What really entertained me were the capsule wardrobe drawings for each styleÂ…drawings of sticklike, tall-legged models wearing jazzy clothing. This must be for appeasing the fashion industry or the teen and under-thirty set. Although the drawings are a lot of fun to look at, I can’t picture me like that at my age.
Still, the book could be a valuable tool for a very young person who has nobody to tell her what to wear and who has had no experience in choosing clothes. It is also good for people who like to boast with the looks of their showcase dwellings, because the neatly arranged closet photos on the inside cover of the book are intimidating to the rest of us who struggle to keep up with our even average housekeeping.
After reading this book, one has to admit the writers show a lot of compassion to closets, more so than to the people who use them.
The book is easy to read with 192 pages and ISBN: 1594630283.
The authors, Jesse Garza and Joe Lupo, are partners in Visual Therapy Luxury Lifestyle Consulting.
My feeling is, “Nothing to Wear: A 5-step cure for the Common Closet” can be a boon to the youthful set. For those of us who have seen some action in life, it confuses more than it helps.
