A practical style reset built around three style words.

Lisa Gilby argues that personal style matters more than obedience to fashion rules. Drawing on 16 years as a personal stylist and hundreds of wardrobes, she pushes back on advice that can leave people feeling judged, especially around waist-cinching and dressing for age.
