They say that the first impression, is the last impression and in this digital day and age, it cannot be more true. The first thing people notice about you, when they see you is the way you dress and how you carry yourself. It is also true that your personality and your confidence also have a lot to do with the kind of impression you make on people, but before you get the chance to say anything to a new person, the first thing they notice about you are your clothes.
Your personality also hugely depends on how you carry yourself and your outfits are a huge part of that. It is no secret that the clothes you wear have an effect on your mood, and confidence. Power dressing for example, helps you feel more confident and in control and is perfect for interviews, presentations, and any event where you need to be at the top of your game.
In order to dress right for every occasion, you need to define your own personal style. Here are some helpful tips that will help you do just that.
-
Find your style-speration:
There is always a person, a public figure or a fashion icon, whom we love to follow and whose style we love. Subconsciously, we try to emulate their style in our daily dressing. Finding that person will help you better understand what kind of clothes you like to wear. This will also help you shop smarter since you will know exactly what you want.
-
Dress for comfort:
We know it’s not always possible to wear Yoga pants and a tank top everywhere, but that is not what we mean when we say dress for comfort. Wear clothes that you feel your best in. For example, if you’re uncomfortable wearing a halter-top and would rather stick to full sleeved tops, then do just that. Fashion and style, does not have to be equated with showing skin or being the most daring with your outfit. Always remember, you look your best only when you are comfortable in what you’re wearing.
-
Have staples for every occasion:
By occasion, we mean things like interviews, dinner dates, festivals, and even parties. Having staples, as in outfits that you can keep as your go to for these occasions, will not only help you get ready faster, and save you the stress of thinking about what to wear but also help you be definitive in your style. You can choose outfits that best fit your dressing sensibilities and you won’t have to worry about looking out of place in them.
-
Don’t be afraid to experiment:
Having a set personal style does not mean you can’t experiment with new styles every now and then. Trying out a bold coloured dress, or a flashy pair of heels with your daily outfit can help you brighten up your day and your mood.
Having said all that, there are no set rules to being fashionable. Fashion is what you feel your best in. So, don’t be afraid to try out new things and feel confident in whatever you choose to wear.
