Never let a trend get in the way of creating a great outfit for yourself.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Stacy London
Your personal style should evolve with age. To say you want the same style at 25 as at 45 is a mistake.
Stacy London
I'm not as snarky as I used to be.
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
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.
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
The fashion industry [is] built on, and thrives on, our collective insecurity.
Stacy London
You don't need money to look fabulous. There are so many awesome new designers, so many designers doing collections for mass retailers.
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.
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
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
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
Less is more. I truly believe in buying a few pieces with better construction.
Stacy London
