“Dressing well is a form of Good Manners” - Tom Ford 

Join Jodie and Dianne Cant as we dissect how synonymous good style is with good taste, and how to avoid being rude by committing a fashion faux pas! 

Where is the line between etiquette and snobbery, and how much of that has to do with what we wear? Whilst we all live in a time where people make a judgement about us within the first seven seconds of meeting - how much weight does each outfit hold? And what’s the difference between having a good style and following the trends?
