Tim Gunn Clothes Quotations

Everyone has a best feature, so find clothes and accessories to accentuate those, whether it’s your shoulders or your long legs!

People put on certain clothes for certain reasons, I assume, when their closet is filled with clothes.

Go to Lord & Taylor on Fifth Avenue, I think it's the eighth floor, and it's just a department called 'Woman.' It's rather devastating. You've never seen such hideous clothes in your entire life. I mean, it's simply appalling. Thank God there are no windows on that floor, because if I were a size 18, I'd throw myself right out the window [after seeing those clothes]. It's insulting what these designers do to these women.

I believe in the semiotics of clothes. They send a message about how the world perceives us. For me it goes beyond clothes, it's grooming. It's accessories. It's the whole head to toe look.

The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us.

Whether it's fashion or it's home, it's all about style. The clothes we wear send a message about how we are perceived, and our home does the same thing.

At all costs, avoid clothes that are too big. The more volume your clothes have, the more volume you appear to have.

Most designers want to show apparel that makes the wearer look as long and lean as possible. And most people who buy clothes want to look as long and lean as possible.

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

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.

People believe that if you're concerned about the clothes you're wearing and the larger aspects of your appearance, that it's anti-intellectual. I say "Hogwash!" The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us.
