'This book is genius. It pinpoints all the things I have ever felt about my wardrobe... It's funny, charming and brilliantly explained. You'll feel better just reading it!' Emma Forbes

'Rebecca's book considers clothes and our attitudes to them from a wildly original and truly kaleidoscopic range of angles.' Alexandra Shulman

'A fascinating deep dive that will make you think differently about the clothes you wear and why you bought them.' Lisa Armstrong,The Telegraph

Rebecca Willis unpicks our love-hate relationship with clothes, explaining why September is the most important month in fashion, what happens when we look in the mirror and why royal wives wear such ridiculously high heels.

Clothes matter because over 50% of communication is non-verbal and because humans have an inbuilt need to belong. How we dress becomes so key to our identities that our wardrobes tell our life stories.

This fun, frank and fact-filled book explores all the reasons that make us such easy prey for the fashion industry... and how to resist it. It will make you fashion-conscious in a new way and set you free from wardrobe anxiety. You will start to shop with your eyes wide open and make better buys and fewer mistakes.

Rebecca Willis is a features journalist and writer. She worked at Vogue for 15 years and also at The Independent on Sunday. She was Associate Editor of Intelligent Life, former sister magazine of The Economist, where she wrote the "Applied Fashion" column. She lives in London with her family.
