    This book is an amazing reference tool! I discovered the first Lucky Shopping Manual a number of years ago and fell in love with it. It's been by my side ever since. I refer to it frequently, however, as years went by, I realized it didn't really contain my style so much. My ideal style is a combo of Mod, Bohemian, and Arty Slick. This book has broken out several different styles for me to refer to. I've started getting pieces from the recommendations and have referred to the online store sites, however, they are much to pricy for me, so I've found some of my own. I've looked through quite the variety of fashion books and magazines and I've never found anything that was organized and appealing as this book. Excellent layout, great photography.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Wardrobe Style Manual
    Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2020

    I remembered this book from several years ago having been a fan of Lucky magazine. The styles are classic and transcend fashion trends. My local library still has a copy on the shelf and the used copy I bought was discarded from the Denver Public Library, but still in perfect condition. I have never been one to buy high-priced designer clothes, but as a wardrobe manual this book is great! It was published before the capsule wardrobe trend, but the suggestions for mixing and matching pieces was ahead of its time.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great book
    Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    I think the book was very good. The suggestions for my clothing type, American Classic, were very helpful. I liked having the visual image of the jackets, pants, shirts, and bags that they recommended. That doesn't mean you have to buy a high end look to achieve the style, either. I don't have designer clothes hanging in my closet, and I still feel confident about mixing some of what I already have with things I know I'll buy in the future as I shop. I think naturally you lean in a certain direction with the clothes you like anyway. I also know to steer clear of certain clothes that may look good on other women but don't suit me personally, whether it's considered in style or not. I hadn't known exactly what I was, but it was interesting reading about it, and it was fun to read about the other styles. This book doesn't have everything. Some of the negative reviews have mentioned that, but it is a fun book full of useful information, and the visuals really appealed to me personally. I do wish each section had a bit more in it about each style before it moved to the next, which is why I gave it four instead of five stars, but it was a good book. I think it had to be about the specifics rather than cover everything the negative reviews were asking for. This book IS generally for women probably under 35 or so, but then the demographic of the magazine is younger women. I saw many clothing ideas that were wonderful, and you can certainly find cheaper clothing options that look similar to what they suggest in any of the styles. Some styles may be easier to find than others; as American classic I feel there are many options, and some are a little harder to find. But things do go in and out of style, so if suddenly it becomes more stylish to have ruffles and a sexier look, the bombshell style would have more success finding things, or if the bohemian look comes back in stores, that type person will have more success. Certainly some things go in and out of style where the book may not be relevant, but many people who suit one specific style overall will stick with that look over time no matter what comes into style down the road, and the suggestion is still there, even if the specific clothes might not be in fashion years from now. I think this book can still be useful then.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2011

    OK, I'm college educated, have a 132 IQ and am 40 years old (for God's sake). But, whenever I would go into a store I would FREEZE. I am such a dunce about clothes.

    I got the book, picked out my favorite "Look", went to the Mall and said, "I'll take That, That, and That."

    I went home, changed, my husband came home, and he went crazy (in a good way).

    You can get as much or as little into a "Look" as you want. They give the least amount of clothes you need to pull it off, how to wear one piece for all seasons, and gives tons of ideas in case you want to fill out your wardrobe.

    Not terribly expensive, either, IMO.

    It's also detailed enough so you "get it", but loosely described enough to pick out whatever the stores happen to have that day and have it work.

    Awesome book for anyone who has trouble "putting it all together", like I do! I like many styles and trends but when I go in my closet I feel overwhelmed and usually end up mismatching styles.
    This book helps me stay focused with the look I want to achieve and also gives me ideas for new outfit combinations with pieces I hadn't thought of before.

    Another great book from the Lucky camp. It does exactly what it says on the tin and believe me, I'd still refer to it constantly if I hadn't gone and lost it somewhere.

    Not only useful for stylish people, this book helps gals in a style rut as well as fashion students who want a quick'n'easy modern reference manual to iconic looks. Good stuff!

    Reviewed in Germany on January 11, 2009

    Als zufriedene Besitzerin des ersten "Lucky Shopping Manual" musste ich natürlich auch diese Neuerscheinung der Autorinnen France/Linett besitzen. Ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Unabhängig von gerade aktuellen Trends werden 10 Looks vorgestellt, z. B. "California Casua", "Mod", "Bohemian" usw. Wie erreicht man den Look und wer repräsentiert ihn? Entsprechend sind die Kapitel aufgebaut: Zunächst eine einführende Doppelseite, welche Frauen aus Gegenwart und Vergangenheit diesen Look besonders gut verkörpern vorgestellt, dann werden "essential pieces" gezeigt und Tipps zum Kombinieren gegeben, Shops und Marken bzw. Designer genannt, die den Look bedienen. Aber weil es eben nicht darum geht, Audrey (Hepburn) oder Jane Birkin zu kopieren, werden außerdem unbekannte Frauen mitsamt ihrer Garderobe vorgestellt und interviewt. Besonders diese Portraits gefallen mir gut, es macht einfach Spass die Fotos anzuschauen und über die Geschichte eines bestimmten Kleidungsstückes zu lesen, also wo stammt es her, warum gefällt es so gut etc. Das Ganze ist extrem kurzweilig und unterhaltsam, man kann sich selbst in einigen der Looks wiederfinden und bekommt zahlreiche Ideen und Inspirationen, welche Stücke evtl. eine Anschaffung wert wären.
    Dieser Lucky Guide möchte kein "Bekleidungsführer" sein und stellt auch keine Serie von Modediktaten dar. Erfreulicherweise sind sämtliche Looks tragbar, realistisch und an der heutigen Zeit orientiert, also keine weißen Go-Go-Boots für den Mod Look der Swinging Sixties! Er ist vielmehr etwas, das man im Hinterkopf behält und an das man sich erinnert, z. B. beim Einkaufen oder morgens vor dem Kleiderschrank. Deshalb mein Fazit: Kaufen, von diesem Buch kann man eine Weile zehren!

    Loved the lucky magazines growing up. I’m sad that they discontinued them but this book is really helpful for styling and pulling together an outfit. I hate when ppl say it’s making you buy expensive stuff. No one makes you buy anything. You can find cheaper versions and still look pulled together. This book is a guide and use it as such.
