I'm sad that other reviews (but one) did not like this book. I loved it when it first came out, and it is still one of my favorite books on apparel. The lists are are helpful place to start building a wardrobe, and many of the suggestions are true over a decade later. Chic Simple Clothes was the first time I'd seen outfits put together in such a minimalist/clean and appealing way, and I never tire of flipping through the now dogeared pages. Yes, the information may seem to be spread thin, especially given all the other Chic Simple books, but don't forget this was the first book. If readers are looking for trends, this isn't the book, but for timeless fashion, Chic Simple Clothes is a great reference.
