Hive Exclusive: Tim Gunn Reveals the One Trend He Just Doesn't Get!

On the hit show Project Runway, which returns for a new season on Bravo TONIGHT, Tim Gunn serves as the Make it Work mentor/master and his words of wisdom are often the determining factors regarding who will be 'in' or 'out.' Hence, when he offers fashion tips, they should NOT be taken with the proverbial grain of salt.Read on tto see what this fashion guru told Stylehive about the trends he's loving and hating this summer and to find out which item in his closet he just can't seem to part with.

Stylehive: What are some of your favorite summer trends?
Tim Gunn: I love summer in general because people can be more relaxed and feel appropriate, as opposed being more relaxed and feeling inappropriate, it's just a time to loosen up. For men I'm in favor of suits with an open shirt, for women I think it's a great time to wear flat shoes and not feel like "oh I'm not dressed up enough." Sure you are! The only thing I will caution everyone against is keep that bare midriff covered, I don't understand, I mean unless you're at the beach, I don't get it!

Stylehive: Is there one thing from your closet that you refuse to throw away?
Tim Gunn: Probably too many things that I refuse to throw away! I have a jean jacket that I don't wear anymore that I probably should just give to the Salvation Army or to some cause, because it's in perfectly good shape, but I keep thinking I'm gonna wear it sometime, so I don't know. I wore jeans yesterday - the Project Runway designers almost went crazy, really!
