I credit my grandmother for my sense of style. She was known for wearing bright, outrageous things because it made people happy and she thought it made her more approachable. When you wear a brightly colored shirt or pants, it shows you don’t take yourself too seriously and it puts everyone around you at ease.
I once wore a pair of bright red sneakers with a grey track pants.
Why wear pants when you can wear a muumuu?
My joke used to be about my father and Peter Boyle: that anything you see Peter Boyle do on TV, my father has done in real life without pants on.
My parents had five children in six years and one week, meaning that my mom was pregnant for most of the ’60s and driving carpools for most of the ’70s. When we were young, she dressed us alike so she could pick us out in crowds: identical skirts for the four girls with the color-coordinated pants for my brother.
My staples are a beautiful pair of black pants, a lightweight coat, a great black heel, and a black cardigan. Everything else is just a topping on my fashion sundae.
Putting somebody else’s pants on and pretending to be somebody else is occasionally, as you grow older, horrifying.
I don’t like tight pants on guys.
The coach put me in goal, and back then, we were playing on bone-hard ground: red ash; we even trained on black ash, which was worse. That’s not easy for a goalkeeper. My mother was always taking out her sewing kit for the countless holes in my training pants. For a long time, I had to buy my own gear.
I love voice-acting – I can go to work without wearing pants. Although I did wear pants during Gremlins. But it’s always more comfortable to work without. And if you notice, I relate to Gizmo in that way because he also works without pants. I have furry little legs, too.
How lovely for a woman to feel her husband fancies the pants off her.
I used to not walk out the door; I was so afraid. Everything from, ‘You shouldn’t be here,’ down to, ‘Girl, don’t wear those pants.’ I was so sad. I tried my best to not even look in a mirror!
Time and time again, as a boy, I was humiliated. I celebrated my first day in long pants by going to a dance where I fell sprawling on the floor, and was so ashamed that I jumped up, ran away and left my girl to get home the best way she could.
I do things like hem a pair of pants, I do my own tailoring but I wouldn’t attempt a jacket.
I’ve always had a thing for Catwoman. Michelle Pfeiffer or Halle Berry in tight leather pants, with the boots – I’m pretty good with either one.
I was addicted to ‘The Monkees’ TV programme – not so much because of the music but because of the commercials in between. The programme was sponsored by Yardley, and in the commercial breaks, there would be these English girls on roller skates, wearing hot pants, and I just thought, ‘God! How neat!’
As someone who has been known for the way they’ve been dressed, it’s almost OK for me to wear New Balances and sweat pants. I’m not necessarily moulding trends, but it’s OK if I’m not adhering to them.
I’ve never been big on sports coats and pants. I’m a suit guy. It makes it clear who’s in charge.
My closet is a sea of black pants, skirts, tops, and bags, so it’s great to come across a brand that makes me want to break out of my fashion rut! The Sequence Collection is an accessories line that is all about color, from funky woven bracelets to brightly-patterned bags.
For a long time, I refused to wear jeans. I liked high-waisted pants, but jeans made me feel like I wasn’t being unique. Even now, I won’t wear the skinny-jeans style, because most people wear those – they have to be baggier, boyfriend-looking, or sort of like a mom jean. I’m real funny that way.
At a gig in Liverpool I had this lady give me 21 cup cakes she had made herself. It’s not really rock’n’roll is it? Tom Jones gets pants thrown at him and I get given fairy cakes.
I do stretches every morning and serious yoga. Not the hot, sweaty type – I don’t believe yoga is calisthenics in fancy pants. I practise a variant of hatha yoga.
I went to an all-boys Catholic school, and not only were we not allowed to wear pajamas, we had to wear dress shirts, dress pants, a tie, dress shoes… they stopped making us wear blazers, like, two years before I started there, so pajamas… you wouldn’t even get in the front door wearing pajamas at my school.
I cut the feet out of my control top pantyhose to wear under these white pants and that was the ah-ha moment that started Spanx. My own butt was my own inspiration!
I grew up surrounded by these tough, ballsy, strong women. They were also adoring women, but they were the kind of women who would argue over what kind of pants you were wearing or the color of your nail polish.
I can’t sit at one place for long in my own house, forget about ‘Bigg Boss.’ I have ants in my pants.
I’m addicted to something at all times. Like, it’s always music, but maybe sometimes it’s a pair of pants or something else. That’s just how my personality works.
I have so many pairs of riding pants that are from the store at the stables in Burbank where you can go ride your horse at. I don’t ride a horse, but I do wear the pants! I love them!
I feel nowadays a lot of bands can be too overly produced. There’s something about the leather pants and bare bodies and Axl Rose running back and forth on a stage and going crazy. I love all that.
When I was in elementary school, I was a big fan of the zip-off pants that could be turned into shorts. The Delia’s catalog used to be my bible.
I believe crop tops can be worn with literally anything, but I think it’d be really cool to pair them with track pants.
I’ve always been a tomboy. I’ve always liked to wear red, black, and white, and mostly pants.
I was convinced in middle school that I invented tight-rolling your pants, because I would get hand-me-downs from my brothers, and of course they were bell-bottoms from the ’70s. So I would fold and fold over the bells. I like to think I started the trend. But I didn’t.
It’s interesting that people think that pants are masculine. Pants are pants.
I like being a woman, even in a man’s world. After all, men can’t wear dresses, but we can wear the pants.
I don’t care about image and all that nonsense. I’m in sweat pants every day. I don’t play the game at all.
We only have one agenda, which is to make ’em laugh their pants off. Unless they are girls, of course, when it is to make them laugh their bras off so we can get a quick look.
Nan Kempner wore one of the first Saint Laurent trouser suits to one of those fancy Madison Avenue restaurants and was denied access. She famously took off her pants and walked in wearing only the jacket. And it was that kind of revolution that was echoed in fashion and in life.
There’s something very old-fashioned and luxurious to have a pair of pants and jacket made to your needs and measurements.
People don’t need to feel scared about a leather pant. Think of it as a jean alternative: it’s the same thing. It’s almost like they’re your yoga pants, but they look chic.
There were many times my pants were so thin I could sit on a dime and tell if it was heads or tails.
I’m a pretty athletic big, pretty versatile for how big I am. And I can dribble down the court when I want to put my point guard pants on.
My style is not that big. I wear heels, tight pants, and I wear diamonds.
I can have a job where I get paid to travel around the world in shiny pants. Why would anyone want to do anything else?
Gender-neutral clothing is often, for lack of a better term, bags on bags. A baggy shirt with baggy pants, that sort of erases any individuality, as opposed to enhancing it.
It’s, ‘Honey, where’s the peacock outfit? What about my leather pants?’ You have to swat them clean with a brush. And when the makeup artist passed out, I had to finish. That’s why Todd would have two different kinds of eye makeup on.
People think you go home and be a celeb, sipping Laurent-Perrier and listening to classical music. You don’t. You go home and wash some pants in the sink.
The word ‘sister’ evokes an ideal of connection and support, like the friendships that made Rebecca Wells’s ‘Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood’ and Ann Brashares’s ‘The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants’ into best-selling novels and successful films.
I’m still one of those persons who prefers to wear pants, especially for at-home entertaining.
When I was 21 years old, I had a job playing Santa Claus in a shopping centre in Sacramento. I was rail thin, so it’s not like I was a traditional Santa Claus even then. I had a square stomach; that was the shape of the sofa cushion that I had stuffed into my pants.
Working from home or going on maternity leave is no excuse to let go of your look. The more you schlep around in drawstring pants and tees, the less you’re going to be able to pull yourself together when necessary.
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.
I like suits. I mean, I always feel good in a suit; I’m more of a suit guy than a shirt-and-jeans-type guy, probably. You know, like, I love Brad Goresky’s style. And sometimes he’ll wear a pair of, like, leopard pants, and I’m like, I couldn’t pull that off, but I appreciate it from afar.
