Everyone’s done it at one time or another….made a snap judgement about a person based on the clothes they have on their back. You may think an individual’s flashy style makes them someone you’d like to have as your friends. It can also be easy to judge a CEO or business owner wrongly based solely on their personal style. A lot of thought may not be put into the items you select every morning before you leave home. But the way you dress actually is a form of self-expression and can have a great impact on how others perceive you. If you’ve been wondering what voice your clothes may have, the following answers lie in your closet.
Designer Duds
While you may not see yourself as a trendsetter or fashionista, your clothing choices scream volumes to friends, family, coworkers and strangers you may meet on the street. Looking stylish may not be on the forefront of your mind as you step in your closet to start your day, but your wardrobe choices form a lasting impression. From purses to dresses, if you’re centered on designer logos, you may be unconsciously concerned with what people think of you. Wearing clothes constructed from the latest designer offers an image where you’re carefully put together from head to toe. But you don’t need to focus on name brand logos to look trendy. Finding items that showcase your personality and allows your true identify to come through.
Dressing for Success
In the business world, dressing for success can help get you the job promotion you’ve always longed for. But getting ahead in the business world doesn’t mean you raise your hemline and bare cleavage. It also doesn’t mean you have to be tied to suits or formal attire. Your closet can be also be focused on modest clothing for women that showcases your natural style and provides the comfort of the beach and surf. In unique textures, floral prints and soft hues, you can easily go from the board room to a dinner out with family.
Every Color of the Rainbow
Some people like to soothe their many moods with a colorful wardrobe. If you want to showcase your confidence for an important meeting, red is a bold and spirited standout hue. You can convey your creativeness and artistic side to your personality through shades of purple and lilac. If your day calls for peace and tranquility, green hues are calming. Choosing colors carefully allows you to send a positive and hopeful message to the world about who you are as a person.
Basic Black
Yellows, reds, navy, teal and raspberry are popular clothing colors. But not everyone is partial to the various colors of the rainbow. If your go-to shade is typically black, regardless if you’re in the thick of summer or it’s the start of the winter season, you may give off the vibe of strength and sophistication. Choosing black can also suggest you’re a serious person who knows what you want. If you want to play up your creative and playful side, add unique accessories to your ensemble. On days when you’re looking to push your ebony boundaries, chunky jewelry, a fun hat or patterned scarves are pieces that can bring out more of your personality.
Same Old Routine
In the fashion world, it’s easy to get caught up in the mundane. Unfortunately, wearing similar items ritually tells the world you may be caught in an uninspiring clothing vortex. If your closet is boring and hum drum, you don’t need to spend a lot of money to look chic. Simple fixes such as quirky tights can liven up a skirt and blouse you wear weekly. Vibrant accessories can also create some stylish flair to a cardigan and dress slacks. If you normally wear solids, step outside the box and enter the world of patterns. Leopard print, stripes and textures show that you’ve put some thought and effort into getting dressed each morning.
Your form of dress conveys a lot about your personality. It tells people your emotions, ambitions in life, uniqueness and how you spend your money. If you hide behind baggy materials, it can also portray what you think about your body. While you may not have time to put a lot of thought into your daily wardrobe, the extra effort may cause you to hold your head higher. It could also hold the key to your success.
