Some people would say that those who spend a long time thinking about the clothes that they buy and what they wear every day superficial and that there are more important things to concentrate on. But, the truth is that the way that you dress yourself does say a lot about the type of person that you are and can even do a lot to change your own opinion of yourself and your surroundings. Even if you don't put a lot of stock into personal style or outer beauty, you might still want to explore your opinions and what you're choosing to wear.
Look Like You Care
The amount of effort that you put into looking your best (or the amount of effort it appears you took) matters more than the brand of clothes that you are wearing or even the style when it comes to people's perception of you. If you look like you put care into your outer appearance, people will believe that you are someone worth their time and attention. If, however, you look sloppy and ignore your environment, body type, age, or the tasks that you need to do while wearing that outfit, this will produce a negative image.
Look Like You Know Yourself Inside and Out
It is perfectly okay to go against the grain when it comes to personal style. There are no rules that say you will only be perceived as looking good if you are following the latest trends on the runway or even that you are dressing in pricier fashions. But, you should cater your style to your body, environment and your own personal tastes. Like the clothes that you put on your body and how they make you look and you will find that wearing those pieces will give you a more positive and confident attitude when you go out into the world.
When you look at yourself in the mirror in the morning, try to be objective about the outfits and overall look that you have chosen. Think of what sort of person you would assume someone to be if you saw them wearing the same clothes that you are sporting. And don't be afraid to dress according to your mood! You don't always have to be projecting a positive and happy image to gain respect from those around you through your fashion choices. Allow your fashion to be an extension of your emotions as well as your personality and you will find that this allows you to become a more complete version of yourself.
