Clothes can tell stories and clothes also can express ourpersonalities and intentions if we use them well. Making a tool of fashion allows us to give out information about us without saying a word.
Isn’t it amazing? Mostly, it is.
However,we also have to avoid backfire, because if we do not
dress up to what we want to communicate, it can cause trouble and it won’t fall
out well. Let’s take dress code for example. In corporate surroundings,the
sophisticated office look is recommended, but those who work in a creative
athmosphere e. g. in an editorial room are allowed to loosen these conventional
rules. Also, bridal dresses are white because they communicate the cleanliness
of virginity, or at least they used to do so, today there is no
significance but that’s an other pair of
shoes. The main point is that people have been using fashion as a tool to
communicate their personalities for a long time and we should not give up on
this pretty tradition.
Get to know yourself
The first step to be able to communicate what we wish is to
find out what we wish. Simple as that. We must get to know ourselves and our
goals. The easiest way to do so is to
write down to a piece of paper or to a notebook all the important features that
describe us or the ones that we would like to describe us. We can choose many
expressions, the only requirement is
that they must agree with our intentions and personalities.
Go Shopping and
describe random items
Go to the local mall or any kind of clothing store and take
a look around. Look for the garments that appeal to you at first sight. This
way, you may set your eyes on something you would not pay attention to normally.
After that, try to describe these targeted itemms. Why are they so appealing to
you? What do you like about them?
Maybe, you’ll be surprised that many of those descriptions
will reflect your own description of yourself. E.g. if you have a complex
personality and tend to lost in details, you get set your eyes on a mixed
material piece of clothes that you can wear in different styles.
If you are an introvert who doesn’t like to be int he center
of attention, you tend to set your eyes on a plaid, neutral coloured item that
doesn’t raise much attention therefore
won’t hobble you.
Experiment a lot
You don’t have to make it more difficult than it should be and
don’t need to get lost in the abundance
of shopping guides . The easiest way is to try on everything that seems proper
at the first sight. Don’t worry, you will realise if something is wrong,
something doesn’t suit you - colour, shape, style.
Spend enough time in
the fitting room to be able to analize the chosen pieces. Does it communicate
what you want it to? E. g. if you want to be taken seriously do not chose silly,
childish or too sporty items, people in normal life won’t appreciate something like the Philip Lim Boomsweater.
The advice about can help you choose, but the main point is
that you should always, under any circumstances feel good in what you’re
wearing.

Fantastic advice. Now that I'm in my 30's and know more about myself, I find my fashion sense becoming more solid too.
