What Shall I Wear?

What Shall I Wear? is an English-language fashion book about Claire McCardell, the influential designer behind The American Look. It explores her creative approach to clothing: practical, stylish and made for an active everyday life.

McCardell drew inspiration from travel, sport, leisure and her own wardrobe, turning those influences into clothes that looked good and were comfortable to wear. That makes this book interesting not only as fashion history, but also as an inspiring reference for styling, wardrobe building and creative ways of looking at clothing.

With clear insight, charming illustrations and considered advice, What Shall I Wear? is a valuable title for anyone who loves fashion. Whether you are looking for inspiration for your own style, want to learn more about vintage design, or are after a compact but substantial fashion book, this edition offers a fresh perspective on building a distinctive wardrobe through thoughtful choices.

A rewarding book for fashion enthusiasts, designers, students and anyone who enjoys collecting fashion books with character and substance.
