From the Author
Take a look at what you're wearing right now, and if your outfit doesn't
say, " I'm the most gorgeous creature who ever lived", keep reading.
The way you dress tells the whole world how you feel about your body. And
what you wear influences how good you feel about yourself. It's that
feeling you get when you put on your favourite pair of jeans - you just
know that cute ass of yours will turn heads.
this is the effect that everything in your wardrobe should have. You
deserve to feel fabulous all day, every day. And this, my sweet, is how I'm
going to help you.
Gok Wan

Customer Reviews

Great on TV but the book?
Feel Fab at 50

As an Image professional I have always loved Gok since he jumped on to our TV screens a couple of years ago. He epitomises what we, as professionals, should be doing with our clients. I have continued to love his approach ever since. While the text in his book was sensible and uplifting, strangely enough, I found the choice of clothing incomprehensible for the most part. Instead of flattering his models, who are all gorgeous (and mostly voluptuous), they look uncomfortable and too tight with staining seams, incorrect fabric choices and so on. The Gok on TV would never make these fundamental errors and the upshot is that his girls look bigger than they really are. A conundrum!

Sorry Gok, I like you, but
The book does not help. The same model poses for pear shape and hourglass??? (same for the other models)
Why not take Trinny and Susannah's approach and show exactly what kind of clothing each shape needs instead of showing us ball gowns? Why not use the women from the series?

Gok Wan: Making the world a better place for ladies everywhere!
I am not usually a fan of fashion and stylist programmes, but I tuned into Gok's every week. It hit just the right tone, about celebrating what real women look like and making the best of what you already had rather than needing to change.
This book has the same loveable and helpful tone as the show, and offers a supportive mantra to learn to love what you have and make the best of it. The only real confusing element is if you're not sure which of the body types describes you best, eg if you're top heavy but also uncomfortable about your belly.
Gok is offering a valuable service to all women uncomfortable with their shapes and this book offers helpful advice, aswell as feeling like a confidante to remind you that yes, you are beautiful. Of course, I'm biased because I met Gok at his book signing and am absolutely in love with the man, but I really do recommend this book as an encouragement to all women who want to learn how to be comfortable in their own skin just the way it is.
