Fashion is gentility running away from vulgarity, and afraid of being overtaken.
William Hazlitt (1778-1830) English essayist.
Fashion is that by which the fantastic becomes for a moment the universal.
Osacr Wilde (1854-1900) Anglo-Irish author.
In olden days a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking but now, heaven knows, anything goes.
Cole Porter (1893-1964) American composer, lyricist.
A fashionable woman is always in love with herself.
I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year’s fashions.
Out had as good be out of the world as out of the fashion.
Colley Cibber (1671-1757) English actor manager, playwright.
Fashion is made to become unfashionable.
Coco Chanel (1883-1971) French couturiere.
After all, what is fashion? From the artistic point of view, it is usually a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Anglo-Irish author.
It is true of rules, and the general law of all laws, that every person should observe the fashions of the place where he is.
Montaigne.
Fashion is the science of appearances, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
E.H. Chapin.
Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.
Thoreau.
Fashion is, for the most part, nothing but the ostentation of riches.
Locke.
Without depth of thought, or earnestness of feeling, or strength of purpose, living an unreal life, sacrificing substance to show, substituting the fictitious for the natural, mistaking a crowd for society, finding its chief pleasure in ridicule, and exhausting its ingenuity in expedients for killing time, fashion is among the last influences under which a human being who respects himself, or who comprehends the great end of life, would desire to be placed.
Channing.
A top of fashion is the mercer’s friend, the tailor’s fool and his own for.
Lavater.
Change of fashions is the tax which industry imposes on the vanity of the rich.
Chamfort.
Fashion in gentility running away from vulgarity, and afraid of being overtaken by it. It is a sign the two things are not far asunder.
Hazlitt.
Fashion is a word which knaves and fools may use to excuse their knavery and folly.
Churchill.
The mere leader of fashion has no genuine claim to supremacy; at least no abiding assurance of it. He has embroidered his title upon his waistcoat, and carries his worth in his watch chain; and if he is allowed any real precedence for this, it is almost a oral swindle a way of obtaining goods under false pretences.
E.H.Chapin.
Fashion is a tyrant from which nothing frees us. We must suit ourselves to its fantastic tastes. But being compelled to live under its foolish laws, the wise man is never the first to follow, nor the last to keep them.
Pascal.
Fashion seldom interferes with nature without diminishing her grace and efficiency.
Tuckerman.
Thus grows up fashion, an equivocal semblance; the most puissant, the most fantastic and frivolous, the most feared and followed, and which morals and violence assault in vain.
Emerson.
The fashion doth wear out more apparel the man.
Shakespeare.
He alone is a man, who can resist the genius of the age, the tone of fashion, with vigorous simplicity and modest courage.
Lavater.
Avoid singularity. There may often be less vanity in following the new modes, than in adhering to the old ones. It is true that the foolish invent them, but the wise may conform to, instead of contradicting them.
Joubert.
