Dec. 22--Sure, some women seem to be born with style and poise, particularly movie stars who frequently tread red carpets.

But many -- OK, most -- of those have stylists helping them out.

Now, you can have your own for a lot less money, thanks to InStyle magazine, whose latest edition of "The New Secrets of Style" ($29.95, Time) helps take the mystery out of fashion with tons of practical strategies.

It starts out reminding you of the style basics (fit, fabric, proportion), plus some head-to-toe slenderizing tricks. From there, the book guides you through finding clothes that best accent your physique, from curvy, short and narrow-shouldered types to full-busted, small-busted and heavy-armed types. And, yes, there's plenty of advice for those of us with a tummy issue, too.

You'll learn about patterns, details and colors, even which ones should be mixed with others. Chapters include advice on choosing and wearing dresses, jackets, suits, coats, pants, jeans, skirts, tops, sweaters, lingerie and shapewear, swimsuits, shoes, bags and other accessories.

One of our favorite parts was the three steps for shopping success. One of the best tips: Dress comfortably. "Wear lightweight clothes that are easy to get into and out of." Amen.

Last but not least, the book goes into caring for your wardrobe so you can get the most

mileage and maximum enjoyment from your purchases.

Speaking of, find your copy of "The New Secrets of Style" now in bookstores nationwide.
