I would have liked to grow up in Liverpool and become a rocker. I would have put my boots on, jeans and a leather jacket, and long hair and played the guitar.
I wanted to go out of fashion, to study medicine. I thought, you know, who needs fashion? How important is it if you wear a red dress and an orange jacket? It’s not, really.
I tend not to wear ties very often. I’m usually in old stuff: Hermes or Marc Jacobs boots and jeans and a T-shirt and a leather jacket or a jean jacket.
One of the strangest results of having your name on a book jacket is the proliferation of people who know one narrow aspect of your life and are suddenly surprised to learn there’s more.
I personally wear a lot of earth tones – does that make me boring? I don’t know. I do like a pop of color, like red shoes or a bright orange jacket.
I really like crop tops. I like how you can dress them up or down, with jeans or a skirt and heels. I like to be showy and cute. I don’t want to be in just a jacket and pants and boots.
I once called EastEnders’ Patsy Palmer ‘a scrubber in a Puffa jacket who cries all the time’ on ‘Strictly.’ She said I wasn’t actually a dancer. That wasn’t my finest moment.
I think it’s difficult to do fashion for men, because either you become very over-homosexual fashion or very boring fashion. You don’t want a boy who looks 15 in a little pair of shorts with some strange art… But to see just a jacket and tie is boring.
The whole thing of clothes is insane. You can spend a dollar on a jacket in a thrift store. And you can spend a thousand dollars on a jacket in a shop. And if you saw those two jackets walking down the street, you probably wouldn’t know which was which.
I quite like walking out in my sweet new Balor Club jacket, popping my collar and being Mr. Cool.
The mistake British comedians often make is trying to beat the Americans at their own game – getting visiting American singers on their shows, talking about ‘sidewalk’ instead of ‘pavement,’ sitting on high stools in a white dinner jacket doing ballads. That way, you simply end up with a mid-Atlantic mishmash.
My personal style is bipolar. Sometimes I feel like dressing in a boyish leather jacket; other times I want to dress more elegantly. Most of the time it’s what I like to call ‘comfortable chic’: Giuseppe Zanotti flat sandals, Rag & Bone jeans, slouchy Isabel Marant shirts.
On a date night, I always wear a pump with either a baggy jean or a tight pair of black leather pants. I’ll wear a plain T-shirt with a leather jacket or a bomber. If I’m feeling girly, I always do a loose dress with a pair of booties.
In the 1970s, we had Carl Sagan, and he was so suave with his turtleneck and his tweed jacket. And he was, you know, he made science look cool. And in punk rock, we haven’t had that. We haven’t had the Carl Sagan of punk.
I have a particular pair of boyfriend jeans that I wear with Converse sneakers and, really, any kind of top, from a crop top to a hoodie. I usually go for a loose top or jacket to keep things casual with sort of a streetwear vibe.
I really pride myself in being able to combine soft and hard characteristics. If I do a leather jacket, then it will be with a really pretty feminine blouse underneath.
My style offstage is so different from onstage. I love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress.
I bring a poofy gray down jacket with me wherever I go. It’s meant for winter, but I use it most in the summer, when everyone cranks up the air-conditioning.
I like to match what I wear to my book jacket – it’s a little bit cheesy, but it’s my thing.
Fit and fabric are paramount. If the jacket fits, it doesn’t matter what price you paid for it – you will look and feel fantastic.
I suffered from some delusion that I wanted to be an English country girl, a Sloane Ranger donning the old Hunter boots and Barbour jacket to slosh around in mud with the Range Rover.
I feel like jeans and a T-shirt have become Establishment. Everyone’s dressed down. So actually, putting on a jacket is the anti-Establishment stance.
My women students openly admit that they dress for interviews like dates, hoping to look their best: makeup, high heels, a well-fitting suit that shows off their figure. And I always tell them to make sure to wear a shirt under the suit jacket. Form fitting, yes. Cleavage, no.
If I walk into a store, I’m going to buy the best jacket or the best item in the store, hands down.
I cannot bring myself to wear the Nobu hats, or the Nobu T-shirts. But the chef’s jacket, that is mine. And when I wear it, I am very proud of myself.
If I need a pair of tennis shorts, I’ll buy them online. I don’t really care. Not going to go and try on a pair and see how my bum looks. Who cares? But for things that you care about – I mean, a jacket and a pair of trousers, you’ve got to try them on.
I always wear a suit jacket, a smart blouse or a top, with my hair and make-up done. Under the desk, what no one knows, is that I’m wearing jeans and trainers.
I have my cousin’s jacket from when he was at war in Iraq. He never came home. It’s incredible to have something that is so personal but that I also feel relatively comfortable wearing.
If I’m uncomfortable on stage, everybody can see it. I’m not very good at hiding it. I like long, loose jacket dresses – anything that I can literally have room to move in – not that I’m a very big dancer, but because sometimes I’m sitting down at the keyboard, and then sometimes I’m standing. It just has to feel good.
My favorite leather jacket I got for 40 bucks at the Fairfax Flea Market, like, eight years ago. Leather just gets better over time. There’s something about a jacket that you have over years and years – just fits like a glove.
It’s a dream come true for Bubba Watson from Bagdad, Florida to have the green jacket on.
If I’m going to work, I put black jeans on, a T-shirt, a shirt, and a jacket.
I love shoes. I am a shoe fanatic. I love my Giuseppe Zanottis – he is my favorite. I have them in every color. Other than shoes, it’s important to have a great black leather jacket.
Men always look smart in a well-fitted, tailored suit. Conversely, they can be incredibly handsome in jeans combined with a cashmere jumper or a beaten-up leather jacket or even just a cotton T-shirt.
Alber Elbaz is just a genius. He’ll be in a dinner jacket and he doesn’t care what time of day it is: I love that about him. He just marches to the beat of his own drum.
The only advantage to being a middle-aged man is that when you put on a jacket and tie, you’re the Scary Dad. Never mind that no one has had an actually scary dad since 1966. The visceral fear remains.
When I make a record with My Morning Jacket, I love what those guys do, so I don’t have a need to play bass or drums or anything, because we’re doing that as a unit.
Historically, Vietnam movies have been profitable. All of them. ‘Platoon,’ ‘Full Metal Jacket,’ ‘Apocalypse Now,’ ‘The Deer Hunter.’ You’re looking at movies that have been not pretty successful, but very successful. The foreign numbers have been extraordinary.
I’ve spent a lot on clothes. I’m not kidding when I say I could have bought several country homes with the money. I’ve also given a lot away over time. I had a lovely Yves Saint Laurent jacket that I’d only worn once or twice, but I’m one for spring cleaning rather than storing my clothes.
I’m extremely hairy. It pretty much connects from the top of my head to my toes with a nice upper body sweater/track jacket type of thing.
I don’t have a collection, but I have a thing with jackets. I really like jackets. Whether it’s an ’80s motorbike jacket, or a Victorian jacket. I could wear the same jeans every day for months, but the jacket would be the thing that would change a lot.
I speak as the journalist who, on the first day back at work for ‘The Daily Telegraph’ after the birth of my daughter, went to interview Tom Hanks with an epaulette of banana sick on my jacket.

I like Miami in the winter: there’s no humidity, no bugs, no mosquitoes. You go out and wear your jacket, and you’re all good!
It’s an honor to see that green jacket in the bedroom closet, but I’m not going to become somebody else because I won the Masters.
A man’s tailored jacket is like a compartmentalized storage unit with sleeves. Women eye those pockets with envy while searching for a ticket stub lost in a handbag.
On a casual day, I’d usually pull out my vintage Levi’s, a pair of loafers or beat-up Converse, a bomber jacket, and a button-down shirt.
I feel the most confident in whatever I’m feeling at that time. Sometimes it’s leather pants, a leather jacket, and a band tee, and it’s motorcycle-chic. Then there are times that it’s skinny jeans, a tank top, and a denim jacket. It’s whatever I’m feeling that day.
People don’t necessarily realise that there can be just as much work on a quiet jacket as an overblown gown.
In the first debate the bulges create the impression of a letter T with a small feature which appears similar to a wire under the jacket running upward from the right.
Don’t ever take a dramatic lesson. They will try to put your voice in a dinner jacket, and people like their hominy and grits in everyday clothes.
