Quote

Self-esteem doesn't come simply from dressing well, but they are both something we can control. It's a missed opportunity when women say they don't have the money, figure, etc., because style is such a way to help cultivate the way women feel about themselves.

I don't argue style on the basis of tastes. If you feel like you've reached your personal best, don't change.

Rules like 'don't wear white after Labor Day' or 'shoes matching the handbag' are antiquated. Modern women should feel free to experiment.

You don't need money to look fabulous. There are so many awesome new designers, so many designers doing collections for mass retailers.

Fashion is an industry to make money. It plays into human psychology. We want to belong, we want to be loved. I'm not trying to demonize the fashion industry - I love the fashion industry - but style is about taking the control out of the industry's hand and having you decide what works for you.

If you only have work clothes - the black trouser and ribbed turtleneck you got four years ago at the Gap - you're not participating in your own style personality.

A lot of people have said that I'm super-snarky and mean. But honesty is the only way to get people to change. It's very important to be constructively critical - give people alternatives and you're giving them a new way to see themselves.

Confidence is the best accessory. It can make or break an outfit.

You have to look in the mirror and see that what you're wearing looks good on the body you have now. Wearing a larger size is just wearing a larger size.

All metallics are neutrals. So it is absolutely fine to mix gold and silver you just want it to look like it has purpose.

Style can change your look, certainly, but it can also change your life.

We all put obstacles in our own path toward personal style, myself included. If we understood why we constructed these practical and emotional obstacles, we might move beyond it to healthier, happier perceptions of ourselves and, ideally, a better sense of self-esteem.

Never let a trend get in the way of creating a great outfit for yourself.
Stacy London
Image
Texture is something we forget - it makes outfits look very expensive. You can do a monochromatic outfit, if you're afraid of things that are more colorful and printed, and still create interest.

There is something about a well-fitted modern jacket that feels like armor. If it's cut well, it adds a dose of cool to anything you wear it with and does the heavy lifting when it comes to creating a flattering shape.

Image
Fit is everything. I don't care what your body type is like: If you're not wearing clothes that fit you, you can't have style.

I'm not one of those people who wakes up and thinks, 'Bring on the day!' I have to have about 7 pints of coffee before I'm even remotely awake. But I love the golden hour in the evening, as hokey as that sounds. Just as the sun is about to set and you get those lovely shadows and everything looks gold and yellow.

Less is more. I truly believe in buying a few pieces with better construction.

Not one person I know isn't concerned with their appearance. To trivialize fashion is to rob ourselves of a great tool.

Style offers concrete rules you can follow. You can use it as a resource rather than a barrier to feeling good about yourself.

The fashion industry [is] built on, and thrives on, our collective insecurity.
