A Quote by Iris Apfel

You can't try to be somebody you're not; that's not style. If someone says, 'Buy this - you'll be stylish,' you won't be stylish because you won't be you. You have to learn who you are first, and that's painful.

I never thought I am a stylish. For me, style is always a representation of what you want to wear but doing it in a unique way and expressing yourself. Every girl loves to be stylish.

Priyanka Chopra

Style. People talk about it being stylish and beautiful, that's at the service of the story. Style for me means nothing without substance and there are moments and things about the film that are stylish but hopefully at the service of the story.

Tom Ford

Fashion is just something money can buy. People who are stylish are free and have no fear in staying true to themselves. Plus, style is infinitely more interesting.

Marc Jacobs

If you perceive someone to be stylish then even if they are shabbily dressed you would consider that as a new style statement.

Abhay Deol

A lot of times, in a store, clothes appear strange to me, their cuts or flourishes arbitrary. Why is this look stylish now? How long will it be stylish for? It's slightly embarrassing to admit this - because, as a novelist, I'm supposed to be observant - but I'm flummoxed by the way other women dress.

Curtis Sittenfeld

I think, French girls, we are not the most stylish women in the world. For me, New Yorkers are more stylish, or even women here in London.

Jeanne Damas

My grandma Ricky - that's where I got classic look from. She was the most stylish person ever. She had her own clothing store and even her furniture was stylish. I got my "Flashy, but classy" motto from her, too. Whenever she walked in the room, she was always the most stylish person in the room.

Mayer Hawthorne

When I buy clothes, I like to buy them in outfits so I know they go together. I like a very simple, natural style. I never like to be the attention getter; I like to come under the radar and be cool about my look, very classic and stylish. I'm not into fads.

Rena Sofer

I am not at all stylish. For me, style is a state of mind and individuality.

Tiger Shroff

Fashion is expensive. Style is not. Some of the most stylish girls I know are certainly not the wealthiest.

Nina Garcia

I hate buying stylish clothes because I get dressed up so rarely that they inevitably go out of style before I can wear them again. So I rent them.

Molly Yeh

My number-one theory in life is that style is proportional to your lack of resources - the less you have, the more stylish you're likely to be.

Beth Ditto

If I was ever going to become a good designer, I had to leave America. My own culture was inhibiting me. Too much style in America is tacky. It's looked down upon to be too stylish. Europeans, however, appreciate style.

Tom Ford

The American woman is more stylish than any other in the world. She understands the power of good style and has the confidence to feel comfortable.
