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.
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.
Stacy London
Image
Less is more. I truly believe in buying a few pieces with better construction.
Stacy London
Image
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
Image
Not one person I know isn't concerned with their appearance. To trivialize fashion is to rob ourselves of a great tool.
Stacy London
Image
You don't need money to look fabulous. There are so many awesome new designers, so many designers doing collections for mass retailers.

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.

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.

The key to personal style is understanding your individual beauty enough to know which looks will work for you and which probably won't.
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
Style can change your look, certainly, but it can also change your life.
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.

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

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
I believe every PERSON is beautiful. What you do with that beauty, how you develop it, is up to you.
Stacy London
Image
Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like them.

Image
Never let a trend get in the way of creating a great outfit for yourself.
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.
