Kenny Stills Quotes

If I buy something new - a piece of clothing, a tie, a shirt, a suit - something old has to go. That's the way I avoid clutter, crammed closets and drawers. It keeps things in balance, and it really works.

We don't need an abundance of things.

I'm a minimalist kind of person: only one pair of boots, one pair of pants, and if I could, only one shirt.

You don't really need much. I try to live my life with that sort of minimalist mentality.

In my humble opinion, having tons of products and furniture and magazines and clothes is not luxurious - living minimally is.

The man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without.

I'm trying to practice owning less stuff.

I'm not a great consumer. I always ask myself, 'Do I really need that piece?' I have friends who have 300 pairs of shoes; how would you leave the house in the morning?

I'm interested in fashion; I buy fairly good pieces, and I think as I've gotten older, I've pared down a lot.

America's lifestyle expectations are far too high and need to be adjusted so we have less things and a smaller, better existence.

I keep only a small edit in my wardrobe because I think it is important to keep things moving through, and I like to find out which pieces from my collections work and which could be reworked and improved.

A lot of stuff I wear I've had since high school.

I have this system where if I buy three or four new things, I give away three or four things. Sometimes, it's a very painful system, but shopping is even better when you know that someone else who needs it will be getting. Keep the clothing karma going, I say.

Less is more. I truly believe in buying a few pieces with better construction.

I really like the idea of being utilitarian. My dream is to edit down my wardrobe and be very Japanese, where you have one rolling rack and it's like your four T-shirts, your five dresses, your two pairs of jeans.

I don't think everything has to be new all the time. You don't have to have the latest designer all the time to look good. Just have things you're comfortable with, have key pieces that you can sort of reinvent over and over again, and always keep things that you really love for a while.

My best piece of style advice is to keep your wardrobe small and love everything in it.

Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody’s buying far too many clothesI mean, I know I’m lucky, I can just take things and borrow them and I’m just okay, but I hate having too many clothes. And I think that poor people should be even more careful. It doesn't mean therefore you have to just buy anything cheap. Instead of buying six things, buy one thing that you really like. Don't keep buying just for the sake of it.

I'm not a minimalist, as I'm sure you've noticed.

My personal style is somewhat androgynous and simple. With my lifestyle, I've become more of a minimalist.

I don't have a lot of clothes or a lot of possessions to bog me down.

There's no great desire to own lots of stuff - and I don't. You can only live in one house and drive one car.

I've been subtle in my taste. It's all about solid colours - mostly blue, white, and black. Also, I believe one should always feel comfortable in what they wear. Because when they're not, their body language is always a big give-away.

My fashion resolution for 2015 is to continue to be inspired by all of the great designers of the past and present while keeping true to my style and myself.

I always think less is more.
