Makeover time: Even the fashion-challenged can benefit from Isaac Mizrahi’s latest book, “How to Have Style.”
Hundreds of instructive, often humorous photos throughout the 223-page paperback ($30) illustrate how real women — not towering, reed-thin catwalk models — can turn the page to a new chapter of chic, regardless of how they categorize themselves.
With his trademark wit and extensive knowledge base, Mizrahi addresses 12 specific scenarios, ranging from how to have style when you’re on a budget or when you’re traveling on business to when you’re waking up “from a jeans coma.”
Also valuable: Sections that describe and illustrate wardrobe must-haves in footwear, handbags, jewelry, watches and bras.
He begins the book by telling women how to be inspired, how to describe and discover their style and how to find their own style team. But before any of that, he stresses, they have to accept themselves as they are.
