Frankly, I think that fur on a man is difficult to pull off. If it's the warmth you're after, then I'd go with a fur-lined coat - it won't show.

More quotes by Tim Gunn
I really cherish having my private time and being alone and being able to decompress. It's my own version of meditating.
Tim Gunn
Leggings are everywhere, indeed. Personally, I'm not crazy about them, but they can look great with the right look, a tunic, for instance, or a long cardigan. Just don't try to dress them up!

If you're wearing a jacket, as I always am, the sweater vest always needs to be buttoned, with the exception of the bottom button. But if you're going sans jacket, you can leave it open.
Tim Gunn
I believe in the semiotics of clothes. They send a message about how the world perceives us. For me it goes beyond clothes, it's grooming. It's accessories. It's the whole head to toe look.
Tim Gunn
I always say I have a Socratic approach to most things that I do. I pummel people with questions, because I need to know what they're thinking, what they're trying to achieve, what they believe the final outcome is going to be.

May I respond by merely saying, I hate crocs. May they please go away.
Tim Gunn
We shop out of boredom, for release, for excitement, for a sense of achievement, for a sense of control over our unruly existences. And every so often, we shop because we need something to wear.
Tim Gunn
I learned from teaching. If you are perceived by the student to be belittling them or purely criticizing them without offering up words of encouragement and support, they shut down and discredit you.
Tim Gunn
Call me a schoolmarm, but few things make me angrier than people not taking good care of library materials.
Tim Gunn
I am a stickler for good manners, and I believe that treating other people well is a lost art. In the workplace, at the dinner table, and walking down the street--we are confronted with choices on how to treat people nearly every waking moment. Over time these choices define who we are and whether we have a lot of friends and allies or none.
Tim Gunn
Life is not a solo act. It's a huge collaboration, and we all need to assemble around us the people who care about us and support us in times of strife.
Tim Gunn
People put on certain clothes for certain reasons, I assume, when their closet is filled with clothes.
Tim Gunn
I'm really not a trend promoter because I feel that people push trends on people they shouldn't.
Tim Gunn
It was very challenging to mentor the mentors, and yes, you do see more sides of my personality.
