Fashion
is comfort. No matter how expensive or how trendy your clothes and accessories
are, yet you are not comfortable while wearing them, you will hardly achieve a
genuinely fashionable look. Do not jump off the bandwagon while compromising
your comfort. Use your fashion statement as a self-expression to show who you
really are. You can pull off any apparel and any style as long as you
comfortably and confidently wear them. It’s never about what you wear. It’s
always about how you wear it.

His puns were very clever, and many of them are still used today, without people even realizing how old they actually are.
