He was wearing a three piece suit this morning but from what I could see of it, it did not look to be of all that great quality or even all that well fitting. However, he did have a coat on over the suit so I couldn't get a good look. He typically looks better dressed than the average man but not by that wide a margin. Dedalus Distinguished Member.

Eighteen comments and not one answers the OP's original question. To answer it, if you've seen the show, it follows the book's format and Style that he describe's a formula that any woman can use to build a smart wardrobe. My gf found it helpful if uninsprired, but if you like Tim Gunn you'll like it as his voice comes through. For us guys the takeway s from the book are his at-length discussion of the importance of good fit along with how things like good posture effect how people see you. Lastly, having seen him in DC he was dressed impeccably. For the button nazi's have you heard of a Paddock Suit? Originally Posted by s4usea.

He emphasizes that a person should take "who they are" into account in choosing a wardrobe. As I see it, TG dresses in a way that reflects who he is, i. I can relate to that. Bottom line - I think Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality style is impeccable, and shows a refined sensibility. He's just not into swagger or any over-the-top looks.

Jan 27, Negin rated it liked it Shelves: beauty-health-fashionthinkers-i-adore. Tim Gunn is one of my favorite celebrities. The man has class and unlike so many in the fashion world, he also happens to be considerate and kind. I often wish that he would help me with a brand new makeover and clothes shopping! There were some good tips in this, bu Tim Gunn is one of my favorite celebrities. There were some good tips in this, but nothing groundbreaking. I knew most of it already. For me, it was just an enjoyable reminder. The illustrations are charming. These items must go. Perhaps you like to torture yourself by trying on some jeans from a few years ago to see if you can button them. Clothes do not exist to humiliate their owners. Please do not force garments into performing psychological tasks for which they were not designed. View all 4 comments. If you are a fan of Tim Gunn, crisp grammar, fashion, and excellent vocabulary, then this book is for you. This is not a style guide that you can just breeze through, and memorize the pretty pictures. First off, there are no pictures but just a few illustrations. Secondly, Tim Gunn takes his business very seriously so his writing is dense. For the most part, I had to have a pocket dictionary Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality me when reading this book. I felt smarter after reading this book if not also better equipped to d If you are a fan of Tim Gunn, crisp grammar, fashion, and excellent vocabulary, then this book is for you. I felt smarter after reading this book if not also better equipped to dress better and appropriately. Don't get me wrong, this is not a text book or a dull self-righetous tome. Tim has your best interest at heart, and forces you to look inward in order to develop a better outward. Imagine if you had a therapist who was also your stylist! Tim is also very funny. His anecodotes keep the book from being too heavy. I highly suggest that you buy this book, so you can underline or highlight the vocabulary words and relevant sections.

May 28, Meghan rated it really liked it Recommends it for: fashion fanatics. I absolutely love Project Runway, and I love Tim's voice of reason and wisdom on the show; those aspects of his personality really come out in this guide. Unlike the typical fashion and style book formula, Tim is not going to give you a set of questions and give you a "look" based on a majority of a, b, or c responses. Although his suggestions are somewhat shopworn at times, I really felt this was only because they're universal and My favorite section of the book was on choosing a fashi I absolutely love Project Runway, and I love Tim's voice of reason and wisdom on the show; those aspects of his personality really come out in and Style guide. My favorite section of the book was on choosing a fashion icon - rather than tell you to buy trench coats and over-sized Taste to emulate say, Jackie O, his suggestions are far more about choosing someone whose taste you can admire and whose essence you can channel, all the Taste incorporating the ideas that make you who you and Style.
