review 1: The book Seventeen Ultimate Guide to Style by Ann Shocket and the editors of seventeen magazine is there to help teens pick just the right outfits to look as stylish as possible. They see a problem with teens not being to their stylish potential. There is different styles shown in the book so you can look anyway you want to! I like this book because it has limited words but it gives lots of explaining with the pictures. The author writes this story in photos of outfits and pieces of clothing put together. In each style section there is 5 major pieces, 5 outfits, a style icon, and a trendy teen with the certain outfit type. My favorite few pages are about classic style. I feel as if it connects with my type of wardrobe but there is a personal outfit helper for everyone. A q... moreuality that I found interesting was that it spoke so much with so little. In other words, I learned so much with such little text. This book was really good because it moves quick but is still super intriguing to me and most likely other girls. I would highly recommend this book to teen girls that are curious about style, and if you want to read about makeup hair and nails there is a beauty book by the same people! It’s a perfect pair like a Michael Kors tote and Kate Spade bangles. A thing that I don’t like is that it doesn’t include a sporty style section. I find this apparel to be what a wear as well. Without a sporty portion I can’t look my best sporty self. I get why they don’t have it though. This is because they want people to always look at their finest and be ready to meet anyone at any time with the outfit ideas.During the time of me reading this book I started to learn a lot about what to piece together with what. For example I realized that if you pair a statement necklace with a plain tee or a black dress it adds the perfect pop and wow factor to your outfit. This really helped me because now I know if I am debating to wear a necklace or a bracelet I wear a necklace because it adds a good touch to the outfit.I can compare this book to The Seventeen Guide To Ultimate Beauty because it is by the same people and has the same feel to it. The book is written in the same format and I found this helpful because I already knew how I liked to read it and what was the most efficient way to read it. I enjoyed both of them equally and recommend both. I like to read about beauty and style so these books were very interesting for me. I also told my friends to read them and they enjoyed them too! In all this book was a very good find for me and I enjoyed it a ton. After this book I read at least 3 other books just like it. I think the best part was getting to see the best way to style my best outfits. I hope others can enjoy this book too!
review 2: This book isn't just for teenagers; a lot of the content isn't age-specific. There are style classifications (e.g. indie, glam, classic, edgy, etc) and how to dress in a particular style, and near the back of the book, names of different types of fashion items are given (e.g. types of sunglasses: aviators, cat eye, wayfarers, etc) which is useful if you want to learn how to identify them or wish to see how they can best be matched with other items. There are many photos and examples of mix-n-match. There's also a "celebrity style example" for each style (e.g. Taylor Swift - girly style; Emma Watson - indie style; Rihanna - glam style, etc) with pictures illustrating how each celebrity embodies that that particular style. This book is great for finding fashion inspiration, learning the names of different types of fashion items, and learning the general labels of certain style types. The style type labels (e.g. indie, glam, classic, etc) don't really distinguish themselves very distinctly from one another for me, but I suppose as a broad term for describing where your style tendencies lie, they would work. less
