The September issue of Redbook Magazine features Fashion expert and Project Runway mentor Tim Gunn reveals his rules to dress
by, opens up about his style philosophy, and offers tips for wearing chic,
classic wardrobe staples. Tim’s advice is spot on, naturally, and I hope you’ll appreciate his tips as much as I always do!
Tim’s rules to dress by:
1. Silhouette: “When getting dressed, think of your body
as a series of thirds; the worst thing you can do is cut yourself in half. Pair
a top that ends at your waist (one third) with long pants (two thirds), or wear
a knee-length dress that goes no longer than the bottom of your kneecap.”
2. Proportion: “If you have something loose and blousy on
top, whatever you wear below should be sleek and well fitted to serve as a
counterpoint, and vice versa.”
3. Fit: “Most women wear clothes that are too big –
that’s the comfort trap. Women don’t want to feel constrained, but I say, if you
want to dress to feel as though you never got out of bed, then
don’t.”
