You may wonder why men of style seem so confident and ‘pompous’, it is because they are guided or live by quotes. These words stand for what they believe and want to portray to others through their dressing. Some of these quotes are from notable fashion icons and others are fashion enthusiasts.
Let’s take a look at some of them:
1.“A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life.” – Oscar Wilde
2. “Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.” – Mark Twain
3. “Dress like you’ve made something of yourself, even if you haven’t” – Men’s Health
4. “A well-tailored suit is to women what lingerie is to men” – Anonymous
5. “It is totally impossible to be well-dressed in cheap shoes.” – Hardy Amies
6. “Looking good isn’t self-importance; it’s self-respect.” – Charles Hix
7. “Dressing well is a form of good manners.” – Tom Ford
8. “Like every good man, I strive for perfection, and, like every ordinary man, I have found that perfection is out of reach – but not the perfect suit.” – Edward Tivnan
9. “Clothes don’t make a man, but clothes have got many a man a good job.” – Herbert Harold Vreeland
10. “To achieve the nonchalance which is absolutely necessary for a man, one article at least must not match.”
– Hardy Amies
