I found this perfect example of what can go drastically wrong with a simple choice of collars and had to pass it along to you with an insider's tip from the book: Always choose a collar …

CNN's Rick Sanchez Rick, you're such a pro, and a charmer as well, that's why I must tell you that the floral tie you're wearing is wimpy. Floral prints just don't go with the "business" look that an anchor must convey. Also, I would suggest a tie in burgundy, red or raspberry to create beautiful …

Ryan Seacrest A word to the wise, Ryan: Grey is a color that's born negative. Think, "Old and grey", "Sad and grey" and "Tired and grey"--none of which are statements that suit your dynamic and professional persona. This suit simply has too much grey. You need a dynamic tie that makes a statement. This one's …

CNN Correspondent Paula Newton Red is a wonderful color for you, Paula, and it always goes well with black. However, my advice: The line of the wrap dress/blouse worn underneath doesn't harmonize with the crisp lines of the blazer jacket. I'd suggest wearing a neutral, scoop-neck top next time. Readers, what do you think?

Breast Cancer Awareness Month Both my parents died of cancer, so I’m a big supporter of this month’s cancer awareness campaign! I read an article today by an image consultant who advised that women wear the shade of pink this month that was perfect for them. She would insist that I, being a fair-skinned blonde, …

Matt, you always look sophisticated and businesslike. My recommendation: Wear ties in bolder colors when you’re wearing a grey suit. Grey can sometimes look a bit on the sad side unless it’s worn with a bold and happy color. Think about red, burgundy, raspberry or yellow! Readers: Based on what you've learned about image, any …

Anderson, You are such a man about town – all over the channels and keeping ‘em honest. Bravo! Love the fact that you can go from casual attire to suits and still not betray your persona. My advice: stick to dark-colored suits like black and navy. They show off your beautiful hair the best. Forego …

Nice three-piece, Ethan. Very British. My advice: this color is too much like your hair color, so it doesn’t create enough interesting contrast. Also, brown is “Dad” or “Mother Earth” so it’s more nurturing than distinguished; more safe than sexy. Go for navy blue. You'll look sexy and classy.

Ellen, Congratulations! You’ll be dynamite on "American Idol." I’d love to see you dress in bolder colors that will make your beautiful face pop. Think about fuchsia, magenta, and royal purple. They are such regal colors. My advice: stay away from those earthy tones and army fatigue colors, because they drab the skin and hair.
