I believe that treating other people well is a lost art.

Image
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
Image
I'm honest about expressing my opinions. At the same time, I'm diplomatic in how I do critique things if I have a negative response.
Tim Gunn
Image
If you want to write an angry e-mail, write it but don't send it. It's based on my experience that whenever I have acted out in some manner, I have always regretted it.

We can wear whatever we want and get away with it. Just be confident about being who you are and dressing for that person.

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.

I'm one of the biggest introverts you could ever meet.
Tim Gunn
Image
I just don't like conspicuous consumption. I find it distasteful.
Tim Gunn
Image
Don't give up! You're too talented. You're too good!

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!
Tim Gunn
Image
At all costs, avoid clothes that are too big. The more volume your clothes have, the more volume you appear to have.
Tim Gunn
Image
It's man's impact on our world that appeals to me more than just nature running wild.
Tim Gunn
Image
I pretty much stay true to myself and try to find the good in people and not be snarky.
Tim Gunn
Image
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.

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.
