Are you ready to go on a journey that not only add to your appearance but also boosts your confidence? Amazing! And you know what the best part is? there are no strict rules, only suggestions that will help you. So, fasten your seat- belt as we navigate through the jungle of style guidelines that will change you for the better and make you the Stylish one in your circle 😉 🏎️
Rule 1: Embrace Your Favorites
Wear what works for you! For you, it might be a classic pair of Jeans, a solid plain T-shirt, maybe some printed shirts too. Find the items that make you feel amazing and wear them regularly. Mix these pieces with different pieces to match or create different looks, and yes, there is no harm in repeating the pieces in fact I have 2 exact same Black and White T-shirts that I wear regularly. There are a lot of Mens fashion influencers, celebrities who repeat their favorite items as well. When you find your signature style don’t forget to give them the love they deserve.
Rule 2: Always Seek Inspiration
Like you my friend, I was also not sure about my Style, so what did I do? I took inspirations from a few style icons. Similarly, you can also look for celebrities who look like you, maybe similar hair, similar facial structure who knows, right? 😉 your relatives or friends must have told you that your face looks like this celebrity. You can take inspiration from different Fashion blogs. Observe their clothing items👖, their Fashion choices. What they are seen wearing can serve as a good starting point to create your style.
Rule 3: Cover the Basics
This is something many of us forget in our day-to-day life. Just like everything in this world that you do, whether it’s programming👨🏼💻, being a CA🤑, being an Artist 🎨 or even a public speaker 📢, you should have a strong foundation of basics. In order to do that, you need to have a collection of the timeless essentials, not in numbers but in quality. Make an investment into pieces like a crisp light blue oxford shirt, Black Jeans, a Tailored Blazer or Suit, a Polo shirt just to name a few. These items will serve you the most by acting as the building blocks in your Style journey
Rule 4: Never go with the Trend. NEVER !
This is probably the only time you will hear me scream, hopefully 😈. So trends, trend essentially means something that was new sometime before and is becoming more and more common now. And we all know it keeps on changing like the baggy pants’ “trend”. You and I both know that trends come and go, but your individuality is Forever. Therefore, you should shift your focus from what everyone else is wearing to creating your own style that reflects who you are as a person.
Trends are one of the biggest wastes of money😞, as they keep on changing every season, however the classic style will remain, well, Classic. Some classic pieces of clothing would be your good old Polo shirt, some light blue or navy-blue trousers which brings us to the our next point.
Rule 5: Invest Wisely
As simple as it might sound, it’s easy to do this mistake, especially today’s when we have unlimited options. Don’t waste your money on designer stuff. First, because they are made in South East Asian countries just like any regular items yes, more refined items but the difference is not that big. Second, they are targeted towards people who want to look rich and not the ones who are Rich💎.
Instead, you can invest in Classic items like a great looking watch that will stand the test of time. Start collecting these items that can be mixed and matched which will save you Time & Money in the long run. Such a Great Deal, right? Research about Old money style, from fabric to the color palette, from patterns to accessories⌚🤠. And yes, please don’t go bankrupt buying all the items in a single swoop.
Remember, The 🗝️ is Quality >> Quantity
Rule 6: Nature’s Inspiration
Take inspiration from the earthy tones of a tree. Nature🌲🌊 is your ultimate Fashion influencer and a caring Fashion Guru. Mix and match the dark browns with greens to create an outfit for yourself. From the beige, brown, white and blue picture of a beach to the Sakura tree with white, lavender color everything can work as an inspiration for you. You just have to keep an open mind and open heart. 😊
Rule 7: Be You, my friend 💚
This is the most important rule of all. Why? Glad you asked, because the probability of finding someone exactly like you is one in 7 Billion. Embrace yourself and let your personal style work its way through. When you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin, that’s when true style is born.
Remember, you don’t have to look better than everyone in this world, you only have to look better than the people around you. And these are some of my own suggestions to help you find your own style. So, go ahead, wear your favorite items👖👞🧥, get the basics right👕👔, invest wisely💹, let nature inspire you and, be unapologetically you☝🏼.
Happy styling my friend!
