Tom Robbins Quotes

The essence of style is how you live your life

Style is an extension of yourself. My approach is to enhance the personality of the wearer, so he has his own voice

Style, in the broadest sense of all, is consciousness. More specifically it is a consistent idiom arising spontaneously from the personality but deliberately maintained.

Style is not about the clothes, it's about the individual

Finding your style is like putting puzzle pieces together.

I want to be different, and fashion gives me that outlet to do that.

I'm kind of a quirky dresser usually. Like today, I'm actually pretty put together, but I dress kind of off sometimes, but that's just part of my personality.

Every individual has his own style, his own way of presenting himself on and off the field.

I don't want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself. I want to avoid becoming too styled and too 'done' and too generic. You see people as they go through their career, and they just become more and more like everyone else.

I don't have the kind of style that I feel like would serve any and everyone.

I'm a lot more interested in style than fashion - style is what makes us who we are.

I think the way you dress should be fun. Wearing stuff that people don't normally wear or wouldn't particularly think is their style, I love that. I think that's fun and I think everybody should do it.

Everybody has their own style.

Because of styles people are separated. Research your own experience, absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own.

I really appreciate people who have their own thing going on and stick to it - super authentic. The people who wear something and you're just like "oh, it looks so good!" it's because it's them. They're not trying to be anything.

Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.

Don’t try to be anybody else because that’s what makes you not swaggy.

Fashion is temporary; fashion is a race. What it's doing is giving you something that you say, "This is the outer wrapping of me." Style is something else. It's not quantifiable. Fashion is about selling. Fashion is about what's in. Style is independent of that; style is individual.

I would have to say that my style is simple, with a splash of swagger and a little sartorial as well.

I only do what I do. For me, it is a craft. It's got to be my own thing - otherwise, I would never be successful. I could easily go to the archives and pull 1987 or 1991 collection by Calvin Klein. But when you look in there, you realize that it was never about one piece. It was about the collections as bodies of work.

Style is something peculiar to one person; it expresses one personality and one only; it cannot be shared.

I don't think you can separate a person's "style" and his persona. If you're writing or improvising honestly, you will inevitably reflect who you are.

Ironically, style doesn't come even closely related to fashion. It's got nothing to do [with clothes].

There's nothing interesting about looking perfect—you lose the point. You want what you're wearing to say something about you, about who you are.

I've been called a stylist until I really could tear my hair out. And I simply don't believe in style. The style is you.
