The RealReal Releases a Book on Developing Personal Style

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe RealReal, the secondhand designer retailer, has published a book on developing your own personal style, The New York Times reports.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt runs two hundred twenty-four pages.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy take is that this book is a gift to anyone whose closet has been quietly holding back their authentic self.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's a misunderstanding that the closet can be fixed with one coat.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNot. The book says no coat does it. It needed two hundred twenty-four pages to say no coat.

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHere's my take. The book has a Good Voice and a Bad Voice for your wardrobe.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTwo voices in every closet, and nobody has checked whether they've unionized.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHot. Mostly because I now picture the closet arguing.

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDale, that's a reach. The company says the book doesn't tell readers what to buy. It helps them understand what feels like them.

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA retailer that sells you clothes, publishing a book on what feels like you. Nothing suspicious there.

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorKristen Naiman writes, quote, style is a practice. Good ideas are born from noticing. I've noticed something.

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy hottest take is the gray suit. Same one every day. I've been practicing for decades.
