The body is a clothing that suits us for life. (Le corps est un habit – Qui nous va à vie.)

At the end of the day, taking 50% off a $250 dress still means walking out of the store $125 poorer.

I Voted” sticker on it, so perhaps it’s as disgusted with politics as politicians are disgusting.

If we were rational enough to judge what we are fed based on what we are fed, those in the business of selling us hope (i.e., public speakers, presidents, priests, etc.) wouldn’t wear suits.

I fell in love with a raincoat. Well, at first. Then later I fell in love with the woman wearing it.

We need houses as we need clothes, architecture stimulates fashion. It’s like hunger and thirst — you need them both.

Until the sixteenth century, men–priests, academics, judges, merchants, princes, and many others–wore skirts, or robes. For men, the skirt was a ‘sign of leisure and a symbol of dignity,’ writes Quentin Bell. This is still true for men in high positions. After all, can you imagine the Pope, or Professor Dumbledore, wearing trousers? Have you...

Clothing doesn’t really change a man. But it changes how others react to him.

It also must be hard to have a wife like Mrs. Indianapolis. She’s in the fashion industry. She’s not a model or designer, but she is a buyer—not for a retail outlet, but for her four closets, whose combined square footage is probably comparable to Rhode Island. If an article of clothing is leopard print...

…[W]hen I told my dad why I was calling, he just said, ‘Honey, you’re so beautiful it doesn’t matter what you wear.’ I wondered how many dads in America were, at that very moment, giving their daughters the same useless advice mine was giving me.

She’d been taught that pants were inappropriate for girls because they were immodest […] If women’s pants were suggestive, men’s were equally so, and they revealed a great deal more of what was underneath them. There was almost always a bulge–you couldn’t help but notice it–and if the pants were tight, you could see practically...

The childish and savage taste of men and women for new patterns keeps how many shaking and squinting through kaleidoscopes that they may discover the particular figure which this generation requires to-day. The manufacturers have learned that this taste is merely whimsical. Of two patterns which differ only by a few threads more or less...

Crime isn’t pretty, only fashionably dressed.

Magnus had animated one of his magnificent Chinese fans, and it flapped ineffectively at him, barely stirring the breeze. It was, if he was completely honest with himself (and he did not want to be), a bit too hot for this new striped blue-and-rose-colored coat, made of taffeta and satin, and the silk faille waistcoat...

If I were deaf, I’d wear loud clothing. My clothes would also be covered in coffee stains, because Helen Keller is my hero.

Fact: I don’t know of a single girl who doesn’t wish the show-it-all boxer-shorts phenomenon would go away as well. Guys, we just don’t want to see your underwear. Truthfully, we believe that there is a direct correlation between how much underwear you show and how much you’ve got upstairs, if you know what I...

The starting point for ‘discounts’ may be the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), an arbitrarily high price that no one will ever pay. By crossing out the high MSRP, retailers are handing shoppers a psychological victory that will make them feel good about the purchase, even if the discounted price is still expensive.

The naked truth is the naked truth isn’t naked—it’s wearing see-thru clothing. My duty as a nudist is to let people see I’m transparent.

To be really mediæval one should have no body. To be really modern one should have no soul. To be really Greek one should have no clothes.

I Love Jenn” jacket. Two girls, one continuous love. The I Love Jennifer is a little off-center, but then so am I. Better than being self-centered, as my clone would probably say.

I want everyone to wear what they want and mix it in their own way. That, to me, is what is modern.

People shouldn’t have to spend a lot of money to get high-quality clothing.

Nothing is the best thing I’ve ever not worn. Also, nothing is the best thing I’ve ever worn. Nudity never goes out of style.

Viktor was swinging a leather duffle and wearing a black Adidas tracksuit and his favorite brown UGG slippers with a hole in the toe.”Worn and old, just like Viv,” he’d say when Frankie made fun of them, and then his wife would swat him on the arm. But Frankie knew he was just joking, because...

If I could adorn myself with a question, I’d wear a where. It would never go out of style, because location is everything.

Parenting goes beyond providing foods, shelter, clothing, and other basic necessities. Nurturing a child to travel in the direction of positive enlightenment, is arguably the greatest thing that you could do for a child.

Expensive clothing is a poor man’s attempt to appear prosperous.

The best thing you can wear is self confidence.

My forehead is starting to get wrinkled, but you’d hardly notice it because all the wrinkles in my shirt would distract your attention from my face.

Luxury is the ease of a t-shirt in a very expensive dress.

A great suit looks well with a good pair of shoes, you cannot seperate the two.

She was of traditional build herself, but her figure was largely concealed by the folds of a generously cut shift dress made out of a flecked green fabric. It was like a tent, thought Mma Ramotswe–a camouflage tent of the sort that the Botswana Defence Force might use. But I do not sit in judgement...

I just bought a rotary phone, a Rolodex, and a polyester suit. Oh yes, I’m now ready to start networking.

There were details like clothing, hair styles and the fragile objects that hardly ever survive for the archaeologist—musical instruments, bows and arrows, and body ornaments depicted as they were worn. … No amounts of stone and bone could yield the kinds of information that the paintings gave so freely.

I made a t-shirt that says, “Today’s my birthday” on it, so that I can ask for hugs from strangers and point to the text on my tee as the reason why they should oblige. It’s not a once-a-year t-shirt, as I wear it every Tuesday.

There is no doubt a new dress is a help under all circumstances.

Sweater, n. Garment worn by child when its mother is feeling chilly.

Tonight when she came down to the front desk she was wearing neon green hot pants and a pink leopard print jacket. But the best part was that her boots almost matched her jacket. I think she’s on to something. Why let the fact that you’re 65-years-old interfere with your ability to dress like a...

Fashion is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality.

To dress fashionably is to win the eyes of many.

As an aspiring fashion designer, and lover of human anatomy, I always wonder why nipples don’t appear on the outside of shirts.

I cleaned the shit off my pink high-tops and drove home, stopping for an espresso at the coffeehouse across from the college. Men and women were hunched over copies of Jean Paul Sartre and writing in their journals. Most wore the thin-rimmed tortoiseshell glasses favored by intellectuals. Their clothes were faded to a precisely fashionable...

My fur coat doesn’t need to be dry cleaned, because it’s self-cleaning. It’s constantly licking its fur to keep itself clean. Beats walking through a car wash, like I used to do when I worked for Joe Namath.

The responsibility for men’s behavior, indeed for civilization itself rests entirely with women here, and in how they dress and behave. Men’s animalistic impulses are presumed to be overwhelming and uncontrollable. And as men are brutal, brainless savages, women must hide their bodies to avoid being assaulted. In most societies, a respectable woman, to varying...

You’d be surprised how expensive it costs to look this cheap.
