Whether it's a holiday-chic cocktail party, an 11:00AM wedding in February, or just everyday business casual, Martin has you covered. Part reference, part tutorial, the book offers advice on finding clothes that work with your body type and personal style, as well as practical tips on garment construction and navigating the worlds of color, pattern, and texture.
