50 favorite "fashion quotes"

May 20, 2014 Happy WifeStyle
DianeQuote

If you are into fashion, you gotta love a great fashion quote.  Over the years, I remember some of my favorites and they stay with me and inspire me.  I've always enjoyed reading what some of the biggest style icons have to say about fashion and style because many of them were born with more style in their little toe than many of us have in our whole body.  They have left a legacy behind them that will last forever… to me, that's really cool.  The ambition, the creativity, the guts that the leaders in the industry had to have…. that has paved the way for the world of fashion we know today.  It would not be the same without them.

For your entertainment, here are my 50 favorite fashion quotes, well, 51 if you count Diane above there… I've actually had to narrow it down..… #50 has always been my all time favorite… I imagine the confidence she must've had in her field at that time, to be able to say that!  Can you guess what it is?… For you fashionista's out there, you probably already know which one I saved for last;)….I also marked my age, 42, in bold because it means a lot to me.  Enjoy, maybe one of these will become an inspiration for you to help consider, define and embrace your own personal style.

  1. "A girl should be two things:  classy and fabulous." - Coco Chanel
  2. "Style is very personal.  It has nothing to do with fashion.  Fashion is over quickly.  Style is forever." - Ralph Lauren
  3. "Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak." - Rachel Zoe
  4. "Accessories are the exclamation point of a woman." -Michael Kors
  5. "Playing dress up starts at age five and never truly ends." -Kate Spade
  6. "When I first moved to New York I bought VOGUE instead of dinner.  I just felt it fed me more." -Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City
  7. "Why change?  Everyone has their own style.  When you have found it, you should stick to it." -Audrey Hepburn
  8. "Personality begins where comparison ends." -Karl Lagerfeld
  9. "When it comes to dressing, comfort is overrated.  A little discomfort probably means your clothes fit and they're not pajamas." -Tim Gunn
  10. "I loathe narcissism, but I approve vanity." -Diana Vreeland
  11. "The difference between style and fashion is quality." -Giorgio Armani
  12. "Walk like you have three men walking behind you." -Oscar De La Renta
  13. "Dressing is a way of life." -Yves Saint Laurent
  14. "Know first who you are; and then adorn yourself accordingly." -Epictetus, Greek Philosopher
  15. "Wear something you feel gorgeous in and don't try too hard; it's much sexier when it appears effortless.  Clothes that don't fit or don't fit the wearer's personality, don't help." -Heidi Klum
  16. "I can't concentrate in flats!" -Victoria Beckham
  17. "Clothes mean nothing until someone lives in them." -Marc Jacobs
  18. "Everyday is a fashion show and the world is the runway." -Coco Chanel
  19. "Don't be into trends.  Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are." -Gianni Versace
  20. "Clothes aren't going to change the world.  The women who wear them will." -Anne Klein
  21. "Fashion is very important.  It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing it well." -Vivienne Westwood
  22. "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." -Coco Chanel
  23. "Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world." -Marilyn Monroe
  24. "Style is something each of us already has, all we have to do is find it." -Diane Von Furstenburg
  25. "People will stare.  Make it worth their while." -Harry Winston
  26. "When a woman says, 'I have nothing to wear!', what she really means is, 'There's nothing here for who I'm supposed to be today'." -Caitlin Moran
  27. "The best things in life are free.  The second best are very expensive." -Coco Chanel
  28. "We must never confuse elegance with snobbery." -Yves Saint Laurent
  29. "It's better to have fewer things of quality than too much expendable junk." -Rachel Zoe
  30. "Fashion is an instant language." -Miuccia Prada
  31. "You gotta have style.  It helps you get down the stairs.  It helps you get up in the morning.  It's a way of life.  Without it, you're nobody.  I'm not talking about a lot of clothes." -Diana Vreeland
  32. "Fashion is architecture.  It is a matter of proportions." -Coco Chanel
  33. "If you can't be better than your competition, just dress better." Anna Wintour
  34. "A great dress can make you remember what is beautiful about life." -Rachel Roy
  35. "Elegance is when the outside is as beautiful as the inside." -Coco Chanel
  36. "Create your own style.  Let it be unique for yourself and identifiable to others." -Anna Wintour
  37. "You can have everything you want in life if you dress for it." Edith Head
  38. "Dress shabbily and they remember the dress. Dress impeccably and they remember the woman." -Coco Chanel
  39. "Girls do not dress for boys.  They dress for themselves, of course, for each other.  If girls dressed for boys, they'd just walk around naked." -Betsey Johnson
  40. "Style is primarily a matter of instinct." -Bill Blass
  41. "Buy less, choose well, and do it yourself." Vivienne Westwood
  42. "Happiness is the secret to all beauty; there is no beauty that is attractive without happiness."-Christian Dior 
  43. "I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - to me they are much more interesting." -Marc Jacobs
  44. "Shoes transform your body language and attitude.  They lift you physically and emotionally." -Christian Louboutin
  45. "A woman's dress should be like a barbed-wire fence:  serving it's purpose without obstructing the view." Sophia Loren
  46. "Do you know what elegance is?  It is not only what you're wearing, it is how you wear it, who you are inside, it is the way you decorate your house, what you surround yourself with, what books you read and what your interests are." -Carolina Herrera
  47. "One is never overdressed or underdressed in a little black dress." -Karl Lagerfeld
  48. "Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn." -Orson Welles
  49. "Women always try to tame themselves as they get older, but those that look best are often a bit wilder." -Miuccia Prada
  50. "I don't do fashion, I am fashion." -Coco Chanel

If you've never read fashion quotes before, I hope you had fun and leave a little more inspired than when you came.  Do you have a favorite fashion quote?  Maybe you have one of your own?  If so, I'd love to hear from you!  Many of them are pretty philosophical actually… my hope is that you listen to your instincts and let your personal style come through in all that you do.

"Fashion is clothes; style is everything." -Shannon, Happy WifeStyle
