More quotes by Stacy London
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.
Stacy London
Less is more. I truly believe in buying a few pieces with better construction.
Stacy London
Style is all about your individual sense of how you want to present yourself to the world. It's about loving what you've got instead of wishing for what you're not.
Stacy London
Matching your hat to your shoe to your bag, or your necklace to your earrings, has a tendency to look dated. Mixing up your accessories adds interest to an outfit, and can make you look much more modern and polished.
Stacy London
You should feel beautiful and you should feel safe. What you surround yourself with should bring you peace of mind and peace of spirit.
Stacy London
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.
Stacy London
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.
Stacy London
I believe every PERSON is beautiful. What you do with that beauty, how you develop it, is up to you.
Stacy London
Style is the instrument you can pick back up when you want to regain some of the confidence you've lost.
Stacy London
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.
Stacy London
Rules like 'don't wear white after Labor Day' or 'shoes matching the handbag' are antiquated. Modern women should feel free to experiment.
Stacy London
I think style is very different from fashion. Fashion was what I went after when I was feeling incredibly insecure and monstrous on the inside.
Stacy London
I know what it feels like to struggle with your weight, and it makes me understand why women get attached to numbers on a scale or a dress size. It doesn't mean that I have gotten over all of it myself, because I have good days and bad days just like everyone else.
Stacy London
Not one person I know isn't concerned with their appearance. To trivialize fashion is to rob ourselves of a great tool.
Stacy London
All metallics are neutrals. So it is absolutely fine to mix gold and silver you just want it to look like it has purpose.
Stacy London
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.
Stacy London
If you deny the reality of your body or your life, you'll never be able to dress any of it well - even the parts you love. You have to see it all to work with any of it.
Stacy London
Style offers concrete rules you can follow. You can use it as a resource rather than a barrier to feeling good about yourself.
Stacy London
Confidence is the best accessory. It can make or break an outfit.
Stacy London
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.
