Every guy needs a pair of beaten up Converse Chuck Taylors. The coolest sneakers in the world.
Some of the country stuff in the past has been so polished – if you were a guy with a nice pair of jeans, a big belt buckle and nice hat, you were country.
I come from pioneer stock, developers of the West, people who went out into the wilderness and set up home with nothing but a pair of oxen.
My biggest turn-on is a fine pair of athletic legs. A girl with a fine pair of athletic legs who is not afraid to show them off. Turn-offs? A girl who doesn’t like country music is a huge turn-off, and girls who don’t take care of themselves.
I’m from Vermont, where to be stylish and cool is to have a dirty pair of hiking boots and know how to change a tire, hang drywall, and bale hay. Those people are my home, and every time I come home, it reminds me that there’s something to be said for being in the spotlight, but it can never be a whole part of me.
It wasn’t the ‘miracle of engineering’ that is the human body that was filling me with a mad desire to live my days and nights in a pair of scrubs. The hard truth was I did not remotely want to be a surgeon. I actually just wanted to be on ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’
You always want to look your best at events like the Globes, Emmys, or Oscars. It’s a part of the business that I am not particularly comfortable with. I would prefer to turn up in a pair of jeans and an old shirt, but it’s all about image – the studio wants you to look your best.
I often think of the novel as a form that celebrates social groups, and the short story being a form that is capable of celebrating an individual or a sort of insular little pair of people.
I love to mix high street with a good pair of shoes. I don’t agree with wearing head-to-toe designer – I think that’s a bit Wag-gy.

Outside of white button-down oord cloth shirts, Trickers brogues, 501s, and Ray-Ban Aviators, the single item of clothing that I have had in my closet consistently since 1982 is a pair of black-and-white checked Vans. They are the lazy man’s shoe – perfect for dog walking and security lines at the airport.
In this watering-place I acted an heroic character, badly studied; and being a novice on such a stage, I forgot my part before a pair of lovely blue eyes.
Perfume always makes me feel put together after a long day of travelling. And I need my phone charger and a great moisturiser with SPF in my bag. A great pair of sneakers, a great face mask, and drinking a lot of water – those are my essentials for staying hydrated and refreshed.
I like individuality in fashion – it annoys me when celebrities put on a bodycon dress and a pair of high heels and suddenly they are ‘style icons.’
A gold book, fastened together in the shape of a book by wires of the same metal, had been dug up in the northern part of the state of New York, and along with the book an enormous pair of gold spectacles!
I bought a pair of Carpe Diem boots, which were completely unnecessary and hideously expensive, but they make me feel quite fine and dandy.
My personal style definitely developed over time. I thought I used to look good in a T-shirt and jeans and a decent pair of shoes. Now versatility is key for me.
I feel most comfortable in an old pair of jeans, Converse, and a man’s jersey. My best friend cuts my hair with kitchen scissors.
A handy pair of tweezers go a long way. You never know when you’re going to have to pluck out a few of those eyebrow hairs. Keep the tweezers in the purse!
I’ve come to realize nobody needs what we sell. There’s hardly a woman who needs another pair of black shoes.
Maybe a day will come when we may have to just put on a pair of glasses and see sports events.
You’d never look at a Rembrandt and say, ‘That’s just wood and canvas and paint – how much?!’ It’s all about how many people want it. It works on a pair of jeans as well – they’re just material and stitching, and as soon as you walk out of the shop, they’re worth nothing.
I think there is some credibility to the notion that marriage is an institution. It meant something very different hundreds of years ago when it became the norm for people to go off and pair.
I only wrote one diary to be read by others. I went on an exchange to France, working as an au pair, when I was 14 and in a battered red notebook I wrote my experiences for my father to read later.
I love to just throw on a leather jacket with jean shorts and a T-shirt, or I’ll pair a menswear-inspired blazer with jeans for a casual but chic look.
The closest I get to any sort of ‘designer’ items would probably be my weakness for jeans – they don’t have to be any particular brand, but I’m willing to do almost anything, go anywhere, spend obscene amounts of money for that elusive ‘perfect pair.’
I’m constantly running to meetings outside of the office, and I think that you can’t go wrong with a great pair of Lanvin pumps.
You can wear anything as long as you put a nice pair of shoes with it.
Need a body-confidence boost? Pick up a pair of dumbbells and let your gaze linger on the outline of your biceps as you lift the weights.
I get really frustrated when people say that a collection is not very ‘Armani.’ Iconic status can be like a pair of handcuffs, especially if, like me, you wish to continually stretch yourself creatively, as Warhol did.
It’s a good pair of jeans and a pair of boots that are comfortable and a T-shirt; that’s as far as I go. Getting wild with it might be a nice jacket, but I’m not a high-fashion guy for sure.
Luckily I don’t have to buy shoes anymore, because I design them! I’m off tour, so I can dive in and create the shoes that I want for my line. But okay, I did buy a pair of vintage combat boots because they were so beaten up – I had to have them.
Fear and monarchy pair nicely. But democracy means you have to work with people you may not like but you must still believe are your equals. And a fearful people never trust the other side.
I refused to pair with a Tory MP, I refused all foreign junkets and I’ve never had a drink in a Westminster bar.
I remember seeing Norman Cook swimming in a pair of burgundy pants. I thought: ‘Wow, he looks great.’
In the frequently-asked-question category, the question I get asked almost as much as ‘What’s the worst thing you’ve ever eaten?’ is ‘What’s the best pair of pants to travel in, work in, trek in, and use on the road for the most activities possible?’
My image is jeans. An oversize sweat shirt. T-shirt. A pair of boots or sneakers. Very simple. And that’s what I feel comfortable in.
It’s a refreshing moment to find a pair of jeans that just fit my curves perfectly and keep their shape – I hate when they start getting baggy at the knees.
The problem of poor vision has gone unnoticed for too long – it’s astounding that 700 years after glasses were first invented, there are still 2.5 billion people across the world without access to something as simple as eye screening or a pair of glasses.
Once upon a time, a long time ago, a man took off his jacket and put on a sweater. Then he took off his shoes and put on a pair of sneakers. His name was Fred Rogers.

Genetic Denim gods, if you’re listening, please don’t rip, and if you have to, maybe you could have an elf from your warehouse send me another pair… I’m a size 28 and its called ‘The Twig’ in a dark grayish wash… I will wear them until I die, unless those rips beat me to it.
It was my mustache that landed jobs for me. In those silent-film days it was the mark of a villain. When I realized they had me pegged as a foreign nobleman type I began to live the part, too. I bought a pair of white spats, an ascot tie and a walking stick.
When I first started Lion Babe, I wore a lot of denim to perform in because I had a limited closet. A lot of the time, I was in cutoff shorts – either dark or light denim – and then I would pair them with whatever top I had.

Marriage resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them.
Growing up in North Carolina, my mom was always just sort of my mom to me. I never really recognized her as a famous actress. I’m always thrilled when she’s cleaning out her closet. Last time, I got a pair of boots that she bought in Paris 20 years ago. I have completely worn them out.
