I hate the word eclectic .I'm a classicist, and I like comfort. Lots of books, lots of artwork, pieces of family furniture, and newer upholstery.

More quotes by 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.

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.

Why must she dress that way? I think she's confused about her gender.

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.

The color, the shape, and the texture--none of it is accidental. Every item we wear has a glorious (or sometimes not so glorious) history, and that history extends back years--centuries, even--before Oscar de la Renta's 2002 collection.

A couple of things for the not-so-diminutive man: avoid any prints that are large scale, because you will look like the print is wearing you, as opposed to you wearing the print.

As I continue to mature and navigate the world, there are so many myths that are dispelled for me.

If you want to, you can share my teaching refrain: I can't want you to succeed more than you do.
Tim Gunn
I'm constantly reminding myself that the world owes us nothing. We have to make our way and we have to work hard, persevere and make our own way in the world because the world isn't waiting for us, so let's let the world know we are here.

I am the anti-trend guy? I don't believe in chasing trends. And before anyone shops, I believe you benefit from doing a closet inventory. Ask yourself what am I wearing, what am I not wearing, and you'll probably discover things you didn't even know you had.
Tim Gunn
When it comes to dressing, comfort is overrated. A little discomfort probably means your clothes fit and they're not pajamas.

Life is a big collaboration. And we can't navigate it alone.
Tim Gunn
It's so important to reach out to people you trust, and who can give you honest feedback, and keep those people close to you. You don't want to surround yourself with enablers.

I love shopping on a budget. I believe that more fashion mistakes are made by people with deep pockets than by those who shop on a budget.
Tim Gunn
The element of fashion I'd like to see more often? Clothes that fit people well. For me it's not so much about the clothes.

Staples are only good if they truly suit our lifestyle.

I want to say to anyone who works in a drone workplace, raise the bar! There's no reason why you have to dress to the lowest common denominator.

I've been in situations where I've said to young people: You're so personable, you're so articulate, you're clearly so bright, you're so good-looking - feel better about yourself! But if at the core if you don't, all those words mean nothing. Absolutely nothing.
