The One Hundred

— A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own

Nina Garcia shares with us the one hundred pieces that have become her wardrobe essentials. A style guide not intended as the ultimate must-haves list, but aimed to help you build a fully functioning wardrobe with clothes that “suit your style, your body, and your personality”. Each item comes with a short description, a little background history, and how-to-wear tips. From A-line dress, over Frye Harness boots and safari jackets, to zippered hoodie… Nina’s fashion ABC paired with Ruben Toledo’s beautiful illustrations provide plenty of inspiration for picking your personal classics.

I have this book in Portuguese! It’s a lovely book, it contains a list of 100 pieces every woman should have.
It does not teach how to dress or what looks good on your body, but is a nice guide to the ones who are building a new wardrobe.

Yeah, I found her opinions a rather interesting insight in the world of a fashionista. I liked how she pointed out how cool ” a man’s white shirt” might look on a woman, versus the usual feminine very contoured version. Oh how a denim jacket should be in her eye “really fitted” or “really oversized”. Also I liked the tips , where to buy those items. They’re too high-end for me, but were like a basic education in fashion.

Although I haven’t read this, the book looks like it offers some really good fashion tidbits. I’ll do a quick skim through the library. Thanks!

I also own this book and was very disappointed with it. I found many of her choices very disconnected and very pricey. I wish that she had given alternatives and suggestions on how to wear things or incorporate them into a lifestyle.

This list is great for her and maybe for movie stars and wealthy, society women – but no so much for me and the women that I know.
