    Guide to Style is too glazed and slick for its own good, too clinical and forensic to be any fun.

    I like this show a lot because of the information about body type dressing. There is more emphasis on professionalism and less on glib remarks, so the viewer gets a lot more real help understanding the science of dressing.

So Tim Gunn's Guide to Fashion has been a big help! Plus I love the compassion he feels for his makeovers. He clearly cares for them, while exhibiting a sense of humor. I love this program and am so glad I discovered. Cynthia Brink… Full Review »
