When it comes to dressing, comfort is overrated. A little discomfort probably means your clothes fit and they're not pajamas.

More quotes by Tim Gunn
If you don't have experience sewing, start with that, because that will inform what you are able to design.
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.
Tim Gunn
The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us.
Tim Gunn
I have one brand I go to, and it's Suit Supply, and it's fantastic. I was spending $3,500-$4000 on a suit, and the suit I'm wearing today was $500. And they last you forever. The shoulders are set in by hand, it's phenomenal.
Tim Gunn
I've worn a suit and tie for most of my life. And I believe (for me), it makes me more confident navigating the world.
Tim Gunn
Just the way it never rains when you have an umbrella, you'll never run into people if you look fantastic. But go outside in pajamas, and you'll run into every ex you have.

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
I believe that it's very important to get to know people with whom you can have a substantive dialogue about design and its development. In addition, read everything about fashion that you can get your hands on. A palpable point of view is what makes a designer, so you need to be confident about yours.
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.
Tim Gunn
I just don't like conspicuous consumption. I find it distasteful.
Tim Gunn
I'm one of the biggest introverts you could ever meet.
Tim Gunn
If you want to, you can share my teaching refrain: I can't want you to succeed more than you do.
Tim Gunn
Does a man need to know what a peplum is? Probably not.
Tim Gunn
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.
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
There's nothing I like better than going to my apartment, closing the door, cooking my little dinner for one and just tuning out. My apartment really is my haven. It's a nest where I go to heal.
Tim Gunn
Being in the moment is everything. So being in the moment for me is just letting the narrative play out, listening to the designers and giving them helpful feedback about what they're doing.
