Celebrity style clinic

Here are the best and worst from this month………………..

Cheryl Cole manages to achieve a great smart/casual look so many people find hard to pull off. The jeans are flatteringly straight, the widening horizontal lines are under the block colour of the blazer. And how perfect is that blazer? Fresh and bang on the nautical trend, great navy piping, but most importantly, look at the slightly diagonal stripes, further accentuating the waist. Cheryl manages to look stylish and feminine without trying too hard.

Great to see Sir Stuart Rose from Marks and Spencers making a statement in Esquires top 10 best dressed men. Most of the men on the list spend their featured time in bespoke suits, and to be fair a well cut suit transforms any man from zero to hero. What is exceptional about Stuart is his ability to still look great when regularly wearing off the peg suits from his own store. Here we can see him wearing cool colours next to his face to suit his colouring and makes the impact with a featured item of clothing, here being the tie. He has also ensured that any patterns are not fighting for attention, by keeping the tie and suit plain against the checked shirt. Top marks.

Oooooh Kim, not a good look for her. Despite having both an amazing figure and a beautiful face, it just goes to show how important dressing for your individual shape is. Kim has managed to look chunky of thigh, as her dress cuts at her widest leg point. The belt is just a bit too wide, so that rather than pulling the eye into the narrowest point it makes her waist look larger than it is. The horizontal banding adds even more width to the too tight dress and the shoes cut her off at the ankle further accentuating her thigh. Unfortunately, Kim looks trashy rather than sexy, with everything just too much.

“Here is Robert Cavalli, he is a designer so can do what he wants” – Esquire.
His status and cash may afford him anonymous blondes for photographs, but the style crimes are many. Firstly he has tucked in the shirt too tightly drawing attention to his bulging waist, the belt buckle drawing the eye to this even more. The collar is both shortening his neck and looks too tight. He’s managed to mix a gold shirt button with a silver buckle, it’s very hard to mix metals and look stylish (every so often it becomes fashionable though). The shirt is shiny making the vast expanse of his stomach even more attention grabbing, which incidentaly also highlights his man boobs to perfection.
DO NOT follow his lead.
