Kim Kardashian – Ditch the Wrap Dress
Kim Kardashian looks elegant and toned in her beautiful white pantsuit, worn on her recent European trip. It makes her waist look slim, and the padded shoulders of the white top balance her hips and show off an hourglass figure. This is the kind of look she might consider adopting. It's covertly sexy rather than [...]

President Obama: Awesome!
President Obama was in top form last night, and particularly in the arena of image. This is the way the President should dress at all times. The dark suit conveys power and authority, the white shirt is formality but also very elegant and refined. And there is only one tie that is more powerful than [...]

Michelle Obama: Regal in Royal Blue
It''s no wonder this color has been dubbed Royal Blue. It is one of the loveliest colors Mrs. Obama has worn, and she looked exquisite last night at the State of the Union address. I'd like to see the neckline an inch or two lower, however, as the proportions would be more harmonious and flattering. [...]

Which Man Looks More Powerful?
The man on the left is older, giving him a slight edge, because of implied experience. However, he wears an invisible tie, taking away any edge he may have had. A man’s tie is his power tool, and it’s also what distinguishes him from other men in suits and ties. The white shirt and “matching” [...]

Mitt Romney and News Gingrich – Whose Image Wins?
Political pundits may argue about who won the debate in Sioux City, Iowa. However, it's Newt Gingrich who wins the image contest. He, no doubt, learned years ago that a suit camouflages excess weight at the midriff better than anything else. His dark suit sets off his silver hair and gives him a distinguished look. [...]

Rick Santorum’s Grandpa Sweater Vest
Rick Santorum needs an image consultant. No matter where you live, no matter how cold it is, you don't want to wear an "old fuddy duddy" granddpa garment like the one above if you want to be taken seriously. Not only is the sweater wimpy, the color is also. While this style still lingers on [...]

Can you see what’s wrong with this picture?
There are a lot of things wrong with this picture, but here's the most serious error of all, and it has to do with focal point. The face must always remain the focal point, and something is wrong if we're compelled to look down at your feet. The woman on the left wears boots that [...]

What’s Wrong With This Picture?
This man has a lot going for him. He is handsome as well as slim and toned, so he looks great in his dark navy blue suit and slim-fit shirt in French Blue. However, there are a few things that need tweaking. First of all, the belt buckle is too large and sporty looking. A [...]

The Delightful Duchess
Kate Middleton, the enchanting wife of Prince William, has a very good eye for style, and she knows what suits her. Nevertheless, every now and then she picks something that doesn’t flatter her perfect hourglass figure. Most often, Kate shows off her tiny waist. However, the suit on the right makes her figure appear so [...]
