Do you know someone who has no style?  Well I was reading the Five Best Gifts for People with No Style so I thought I needed to share those ideas with you.  A word of caution before you throw somebody under the bus though, don't use their birthday or Christmas as a passive aggressive means to tell them how bad they look.  It may not be as well received as it will be if you are genuine and polite.


1. Books about style to provide them with information
2. Classic pieces, including the little black dress, tailored white shirt or a
    stylish tote bag
3. Stylish accessories like a cashmere scarf, a leather hand bag or diamond   
    stud earrings
4. Gift certificates for a spa day, hair cut, manicure or facial so he/she feels
    pampered
5. Stage a Fashion Intervention . . . but only if you are really good friends!!!!

I know a few people who are in need of an intervention- like women who wear sports bras under a fitted shirt.  And you know you didn't just leave the gym!  Or how about those of you who know people who are still trying to convince themselves they are a size 4 and they clearly are NOT!  It's okay, it happens.  You can look fabulous at any size- just make sure it's appropriate.  Men, showing off your David Hasselhoff like chest hair from underneath your shirt is not a turn on . . . and neither is the Night Rider himself.  Or how about men and women who still wear high socks with shorts?  And then put on a pair of tennis shoes!  1980's demands you cut the sock off at the ankle and throw the extra material back its way.  Welcome to the 21st Century!
