A note from Naomi

The answer is often already in your closet.

For most of my working life I looked after women's clothes on the floor of a big department store in Tokyo, in the fitting rooms with women of every shape and age.

Many came in for one new coat and went home with nothing new at all: a hem a little shorter, a softer collar, a calmer color near the face. This book is that fitting room, for you at home.

Naomi

Naomi twice in the same navy linen shirt: left, a skirt that ends at the widest part of the calf; right, a skirt that ends just below the knee
One small change

Same woman, same shirt. Only the hem moved.

A skirt that stops at the widest part of the calf cuts the leg in its heaviest place. Just below the knee, the whole line looks lighter.

The book is full of small changes like this, each with a simple test at your own mirror.

Inside the book

Five parts, one calm wardrobe.

  1. See the line. Where a hem, a sleeve and a collar should stop on you.
  2. The closet edit. What to keep, what to mend, what to let go.
  3. Fewer, better pieces. A calm wardrobe from what you own, and how good fabric ages.
  4. Color and the seasons. Colors near the face, and layers for summer and winter.
  5. Care. Airing, folding and simple mending, so clothes last for years.

Plus My Closet Notebook to print: your sizes, your colors, your best lengths.
