Not one person I know isn't concerned with their appearance. To trivialize fashion is to rob ourselves of a great tool.

I don't argue style on the basis of tastes. If you feel like you've reached your personal best, don't change.

If you only have work clothes - the black trouser and ribbed turtleneck you got four years ago at the Gap - you're not participating in your own style personality.

Style can change your look, certainly, but it can also change your life.

Fit is everything. I don't care what your body type is like: If you're not wearing clothes that fit you, you can't have style.

I really do believe that my style is informed by the fact that I had such issues with my appearance at various times of my life.

Matching your hat to your shoe to your bag, or your necklace to your earrings, has a tendency to look dated. Mixing up your accessories adds interest to an outfit, and can make you look much more modern and polished.
