Fashion According To Tina Fey

Filed Under: Fashion Smashion Tina Fey

When it comes to fashionable celebrities, Tina Fey usually isn't the first person that comes to mind, but that doesn't mean she can't give out advice!

The funny lady writes in her new book, Bossypants:

"A wise friend once told me, 'Don’t wear what fashion designers tell you to wear. Wear what they wear.' His point being that most designers, no matter what they throw onto the runway, favor simple, flattering pieces for themselves. Anyone who has never met me can tell you that fashion has always been very very very very very very very important to me. For example, I once told my cousin that my dream would be 'if the whole store Express was my closet!' How prescient, because now, of course, I wear nothing but Express.

It can’t be said enough. Don’t concern yourself with fashion; stick to simple pieces that flatter your body type … By 19, I had found my look. Oversize T-shirts, bike shorts, and wrestling shoes. To prevent the silhouette from being too baggy, I would cinch it at the waist with my fanny pack. I was pretty sure I would wear this look forever. The shirts allowed me express myself with cool sayings like ‘There’s No Crying in Baseball’ and ‘Universität Heidelberg,’ the bike shorts showed off my muscular legs, and the fanny pack held all my trolley tokens. I was nailing it on a daily basis. Find something like this for yourself as soon as possible."

Well, at least we know who to blame if any of these trends make a comeback.
