Nancy MacDonell Smith explores the origins, meaning, and remarkable staying power of the ten staples of feminine fashion:
• the little black dress
• the white shirt
• the cashmere sweater
• blue jeans
• the suit
• high heels
• pearls
• lipstick
• sneakers
• the trench coat Tracing the evolution of each item from inception to icon status, she reveals the history and social significance of each, from the black dress's associations with danger and death to the status implications of the classic white shirt. Incorporating sources from history, literature, magazines, and cinema, as well as her own witty anecdotes, Smith has created an engaging, informative guide to modern style.

The Classic Ten: The True Story of the Little Black Dress and Nine Other Fashion Favorites
I did learn new things which was nice but as a non-fashion crazed female it was hard to connect with the authors mooring over her finds. The book is informational and interesting. Leaving the 'chapters' just with the history and influence of the chosen pieces would have been enough. Also pictures of some of the items mentioned would have been a nice
touch. A companion one about men's fashion would be nice.
