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.
I love Modern Family but it’s among a handful of favorite shows.
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.
Frankly, from my perspective, the bomber jacket is such a classic item you can wear it even when it’s not on trend.
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.
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.
It’s man’s impact on our world that appeals to me more than just nature running wild.
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.
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.
I have a couple of thousand books in my personal library. Choosing a favorite is next to impossible. But I do love the written word.
I’m really not a trend promoter because I feel that people push trends on people they shouldn’t.
All the magazines contradict each other because it is so diverse. Know what you like, know what looks good on you and keep doing it, no reason to chase trends.
From my own experience, there are so many people who believe that the individual can change. The individual doesn’t have to be LGBT.
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 hate crocs. May they please go away.
My advice to the 10 year old daughter is: fashion happens in a context. It’s societal, it’s cultural, it’s historic, it’s economic, and it’s political. So all of her studies, everything that is happening in the world, all needs to be channeled through her in order to be a good designer.
Staples are only good if they truly suit our lifestyle.
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!
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.
Most people wear clothing that is too big or too small for them. And “oversized” is the downfall for most of us. We have to be careful that we don’t look like we’re slipcovered!
