MAN DAY: Tim Gunn’s Style Rules To Dress By

Happy MAN DAY!  Today’s post is slightly different than typical MAN DAY posts–instead of doling out tips for the menfolk, here is a great man of style, Tim Gunn, doling out advice to the lovely female fashionistas–from the fab pages of Redbook Magazine that hits the newsstands on Aug. 24.

Tim’s Rules to Dress By

1. SILHOUETTE “When getting dressed, think of your body as a series of thirds; the worst thing you can do is cut yourself in half. Pair a top that ends at your waist (one third) with long pants (two thirds), or wear a knee-length dress that goes no longer than the bottom of your kneecap.”

2. PROPORTION “If you have something loose and blousy on top, whatever you wear below should be sleek and well fitted to serve as a counterpoint, and vice versa.”
3. FIT “Most women wear clothes that are too big — that’s the comfort trap. Women don’t want to feel constrained, but I say, if you want to dress to feel as though you never got out of bed, then don’t.”
For the entire article, check out the September 2010 issue of Redbook magazine.  If you can’t wait until you pick up a copy, take a sneak peek here.
