The 50s are the age of elegance. That's kind of my intention when I get dressed: casual elegance.

Laurence Fishburne

Elegance is always in style for men. There are all different kinds of elegance. It can be silk, it can be a T-shirt.

Donatella Versace

Style has replaced elegance. Before, I believed that style is something a person embodied. But now it's so easy to buy good style if you have the money.

Nicola Formichetti

The lives of great men cannot be writ with any tolerable degree of elegance or exactness within a short time after their decease.

Joseph Addison

The great standard of literature as to purity and exactness of style is the Bible.

Hugh Blair

In a lot of ways, the task at hand for any poem is to approach something that defies exactness or definition with a kind of exactness or precision.

Kevin Powers

The elegance of the Italian South is a very strong elegance and it is one that I bring. It is a sexy elegance - or at least, let's say less chaste.

Riccardo Tisci

Beauty and elegance are a right, not a surplus... . We must demand, at least, intention.

Paola Antonelli

It is important to notice that these badly functioning designs were praised for 'elegance.' But elegance as theoretical scientists apply it is quite different. The elegance of a mathematical formula is that it explains a phenomenon beautifully, with no parts left over. In design, elegance is more readily perceived as a property of product than of process. If we had more elegant theories, we might look to design for more than elegance.

Ralph Caplan

My idea of elegance – and this refers to women as well as men – is that someone is elegant when he or she shows a good knowledge of what fits them, where you can find naturalness and self-esteem. Not showing off. Elegance is the idea of showing an optimistic depiction of oneself, and to lose oneself in the frivolity of style and fashion.

Stefano Pilati

Elegance is always in style for men.

Donatella Versace

Style should breathe elegance.

Tridha Choudhury

Exactness is first obtained, and afterwards elegance. But diction, merely vocal, is always in its childhood. As no man leaves his eloquence behind him, the new generations have all to learn. There may possibly be books without a polished language, but there can be no polished language without books.

Samuel Johnson

You can acquire chic and elegance, but style itself is a rare thing.

Irene Sharaff

Properly understood, style is not a seductive decoration added to a functional structure; it is of the essence of a work of art. The necessary elements of style are lucidity, elegance, and individuality; these three qualities combine to form a preservative which ensures the nearest approximation to permanence in the fugitive art of letters.

Evelyn Waugh

I want men to be more chic - and Japanese style has that kind of sophisticated elegance.

Roberto Cavalli
