20 quotes from the sharpest minds and wittiest wits on the subject of men’s style.
Fashion and style have been a major cultural preoccupation since man
first admired himself in the skin of a woolly mammoth whilst gazing at
his reflection in the primordial swamp.
Since then quite a lot has been said on the subject.
Below we’ve gathered up our favourite quotes – because being able to whip out a witty quip at short notice is almost as important as the art of dressing well, itself.
Style isn’t just about what you wear, it’s also about what you say.
