Style expert Clinton Kelly (from the popular television show What not to Wear) says there are four essentials to dressing well: fit, proportion, appropriateness, and good shoes. "Shoes always set the tone of an outfit," Clinton Kelly told an enthusiastic crowd gathered last Wednesday evening at Book Passage in San Francisco. "There's a reason why nuns don't wear stilettos and strippers don't wear orthopedics."
Promoting his new book, Freakin' Fabulous: How to Dress, Speak, Behave, Eat, Drink, Entertain, Decorate, and Generally be Better than Everyone Else, Kelly sported a casual look in a pair of dark wash jeans, a multicolored striped shirt, and navy blue blazer. He entertained his mostly female fans offering style tips and answering questions about his TLC show What not to Wear, which he co-hosts with Stacy London. In the crowd was his British grandmother, who at 90 was looking pretty stylish and fabulous herself!
Kelly has a masters degree in journalism from Northwestern University. Before his big break into television five years ago, he was a freelance writer and editor for fashion publications such as Marie Claire, Mademoiselle, and the men's fashion trade magazine, DNR. A grammarian, his new book includes a section on how to speak and write properly, as well as entertain properly, and how to be the "fabulous person you always knew you could be."
