Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine turned "the frumpy into the fabulous" (People) in What Not to Wear. Now, fashion's most lovable dictators return-looking better than ever-to tell women what NOT to wear for every occasion.

In their New York Times bestseller what not to wear, Trinny Woodall & Susannah Constantine aimed to wipe out the phrase, "Does my butt look big in this?" With what not to wear for every occasion, they aim to eradicate the panic of "I've got nothing to wear!" "In what not to wear we laid down the rules of how to match the right clothes to the most common figure faults. You'd think that such a clear connect-the-dots approach would leave no room for more words of wisdom. While it goes a long way, there is still a vast area of what to wear when that's not accounted for. It's all well and good having big boobs neatly encased in plummeting necklines and saddlebags disguised to the point of nonexistence, but all this trickery can be utterly obliterated if you are dressing inappropriately for the occasion." "Do you like being over- or underdressed at a party? Are you happy shocking the priest at a church wedding? Do you know how to win over a prospective boss or make speedy transformations from daytime work wear to evening glamour? Do your clothes let you down just when you are most rushed or most in need of looking spectacular?" Book jacket.
