Fashion is ever-evolving, changing with the seasons, but style is a conscious choice - a long-term commitment that reflects your personal perspective. When you comment on someone’s style, you’re acknowledging their unique viewpoint. Each of us has that "personal perspective" when it comes to how we dress.
Why do you lean towards a classic shirt instead of a vibrant print? That choice reveals a lot about your mindset. The decisions you make regarding clothing, accessories, and hairstyles help shape your personal image. Everyone wants to stand out and be memorable through distinct highlights in their wardrobe.
Here are some tips to help you discover those standout pieces you’ve been searching for:
Eyewear
Cool, mysterious, or vibrant - eyewear is one of the most expressive accessories in your arsenal. Whether you opt for prescription glasses or stylish sunglasses, select designs that flatter your face and consider subtle updates in color or details over the years.
If you wear glasses regularly (like I do), be discerning. Since you’ll likely have them on for most of the day, you want to choose frames that truly resonate with your personality rather than settling for something merely acceptable.
Stick to What You Love
Unless there’s a strict dress code in place, wear what you genuinely enjoy. Don’t worry about being the only one sporting jeans in a sea of shorts, or if your love for formalwear means donning a blazer and trousers on a weekend.
The key is to choose blazers without shoulder pads for a more relaxed vibe compared to your office wear. As a jeans enthusiast, I keep 5-6 pairs ready to go, each with its unique wear and wash, making sure they all feel distinct. For me, jeans are like a second skin; my outfits often revolve around them.
What about you? Find a go-to piece you can wear frequently! 😉
The Significance of a Watch
“Everyone notices the watch you wear. It signifies value, personal style, and a piece of you.” This might seem superficial, but it's true! The watch you wear often leaves an impression.
Whether you own one standout piece or a carefully curated collection, the right watch can embody your style. Are you formal, smart-casual, or sporty? Investigating the heritage and culture behind various brands can be fascinating, especially when searching for the perfect fit. Don't overlook vintage watches - some gems are rarely found in stores anymore.
Lastly, avoid buying a watch just because it's trendy!
Step into Quality Shoes
A good pair of shoes can elevate your entire outfit. I won’t dictate a specific style, color, or brand; only you know what suits you best. Take the time to research your preferred shoe styles and shapes. Consider investing in 1-2 pairs in different colors that complement your wardrobe; they can become a striking focal point of your look.
“Expensive but Worth It”
Invest in pieces that will stand the test of time; quality is essential. High-quality items mean durability and comfort, even if the price tag is a bit steep. But remember, these are investments.
Classic designs have proven their worth over time and continue to be relevant. Some timeless items and their introduction years illustrate this: Burberry Trench Coat (1912), Cartier Tank Watch (1917), Schott Perfecto Leather Jacket (1928), and Ray-Ban Aviator Sunglasses (1936).
Embrace the art of personal style by curating lasting highlights that reflect who you are!
