‘For a thoughtful dresser like me, it is a treat to read someone writing seriously about the pleasure of clothes, having ploughed through joyless economic and psychological analyses of the subject . . .
I only wish that Linda Grant had written this funny, perceptive book years ago.’

Alice Rawsthorn, The Guardian

‘The Thoughtful Dresser is exactly what you would expect from this author: compelling, analytical, surprising.’

Viv Groskrop, The Observer

‘Thanks to Grant's stimulating and beautifully-written book, I for one will be feeling less guilty on my next visit to Liberty's.’

Catherine Horwood, Independent

‘This is a book that celebrates fashion in the most intelligent, heartfelt and irresistible of ways. As Grant says, “Never go beige into that good night; there will be more than enough time for neutrals in the darkness of the grave.” From now on, I shall be following her advice.’

Sarah Vine, The Times
