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.

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
Image
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.

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.

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.

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.

You should feel beautiful and you should feel safe. What you surround yourself with should bring you peace of mind and peace of spirit.

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.

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
Image
I believe every PERSON is beautiful. What you do with that beauty, how you develop it, is up to you.
Stacy London
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.
Stacy London
Image
Rules like 'don't wear white after Labor Day' or 'shoes matching the handbag' are antiquated. Modern women should feel free to experiment.

Image
I'm not as snarky as I used to be.

Image
Your personal style should evolve with age. To say you want the same style at 25 as at 45 is a mistake.
Stacy London
Image
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
Image
The key to personal style is understanding your individual beauty enough to know which looks will work for you and which probably won't.

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.

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.

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

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.
