This guys personal style is billowy
You may be thinking "What does clothes fitting well have to do with style?". But think about it...you never see stylish people in poor-fitting clothes. Ever. Poorly fitting clothes look bad no matter if they’re plain or white t-shirts or the latest Hugo Boss pinstripe suit. Example: this guy's shirt could cost $1,000 and be from the most stylish clothing line on earth but it's billowing like a sail and makes the guy look a little hapless. So whatever you wear, make sure it fits well.
Great fitting clothes make you look better because they give off several positive signals. First, they signal that you have your stuff together…that you’re trustworthy. Second, they look like a natural extension of your body. You move how you're supposed to move…and your clothes show off your body. Third, you’ll just be much more comfortable…it feels good to wear clothes that fit well. You’ll be more confident as a result which is definitely part of your personal style!
2) Dress appropriately for the weather.
Everybody knows how annoying it can be when you get rained on without having an umbrella. Not having appropriate rain gear stinks...but more commonly we dress just slightly off from the conditions. We wear jeans when it’s too hot for them. We don’t bring a jacket when going out into a cool morning. We forget our sunglasses when going to the beach. When we wear appropriate clothing we seem in style despite not trying to…appropriateness is part of style, too.
3) Dress appropriately for the situation.
In addition to weather, dressing appropriately for the occasion is stylish as well. Events like job interviews, first dates, and weddings typically terrify people who aren’t used to them. The solution to these problems is easy, if you’re willing to speak up and ask others for advice.
First off, ask the event host what the appropriate clothing is for an event, they’ll be happy to help you. (they want people looking appropriate at the event) Second, ask your friends for advice about what clothes work well on you and which don’t. Go shopping with a friend or try the clothes on in front of them. You’ll be happy you did. Third, match the formality of your clothes not just with the situation but with each piece. Wearing an ironed dress shirt with faded jeans is trying to mix oil and water…go all in when going for a style.
4) Purchase clothes stubbornly.
When shopping for clothes consider each purchase as it fits into your style. Are you really happy with this piece? Do you feel good when wearing it? Or are you simply buying it because you feel like buying something? Try on lots of clothes, join services like Trunk Club, Stitch Fix, etc, but purchase only great clothing items. Make each piece work to get into your wardrobe. Start by thinking about a complete wardrobe: one piece of each type you need. Do you have a lightweight rain jacket? Get one of those before you get your third pair of boots. Do you have a good umbrella? Invest in one of those instead of buying your fifth crappy one. By going for wardrobe completion you’ll make sure the pieces you do have are ones you really love.
5) Keep a style book.
There are countless boards and pictures you can curate to find the items you’re interested in. This will help you remember things as well as help you choose the right item for you. we believe in purchasing fewer, better clothing pieces rather than purchasing many items or impulse buying. A style book will help you recognize more easily what is your style and what isn’t.
