Style

Elsa Klensch. Perigee Books, $15 (228pp) ISBN 978-0-399-52152-2

For those who believe style is an issue of substance, there's Style, written by CNN fashion maven Elsa Klensch with Beryl Meyer, due in September from Perigee. ``The more stylish you are,'' writes Klensch, ``the happier and more successful you'll be.'' She also holds forth on the virtues of synthetic fabric, advises women to practice accessorizing their little black dresses and proclaims the stylistic error of wearing cuffed pants if you happen to be under 5'4"".
