It’s funny how people think their wardrobe says nothing about them. When you take a look inside the closet of a company executive, you’ll probably find formal attires, pinstripe suits, high heels for women and dress shoes for men, and accessories that go along with their “power” suits.
A college student would have sneakers, flip-flops, sundresses, cropped shirts, and skinny jeans in their closet.
An artist would invest in clothes that express their personality–tie-dyed shirts, graphic and statement tees, paint-splattered pants, etc.
Your wardrobe tells a whole lot of what you do for a living and what kind of personality you have. It can even reflect your mood for the day.
Don’t tell us you’ve never dressed down because you had a rough morning or you’ve never dressed pretty because your new crush is in the office? Our style depends largely on what we feel and think we look good in, and what society dictates is fashionable right now.
It’s quite important to be in tune with our mood and attitude when dressing up. In fact, we can be smarter and use our clothes to make us feel better about ourselves.
Feeling blue? Why don’t you wear a pretty dress or your favorite heels to feel pretty? We should use these outfits not only to reflect our personalities, but also to boost our confidence and our moods.
Young people tend to follow the trend when they go Lakeland shopping. They go to trendy boutiques and shop for rad fashion finds, not knowing they’ll lose the sparkle once the season ends.
But once you reach your late 20s, you’ll begin to discover your personal style. That’s when you’ll get to realize that you like dressing up for a party but prefer to wear shorts and a tee for malling.
When you’re in your late 20s to early 30s, you’ll begin learning how to dress up for various occasions, events and places.
Do you remember how you dressed when you were in your teens? Did you follow the hippie trend, the grunge look, or were you a fan of the Spice Girls? Do you remember how you hate wearing a coat and tie or a gown for the formal occasions your parents push you to go?
Most people think they can hide behind their clothes, and they can keep their feelings to themselves by wearing confident-looking outfits. But there is a psychology to attires; it tells a lot about you and how you’re feeling.
For example, donning cleavage-revealing outfits mean you are power hungry and like to be in control while over-the-top jewelry tends to mean the wearer is insecure or have financial difficulties.
Your wardrobe also tells a lot about your ingenuity and IQ when it comes to knowing what you should and should not wear. What’s inside your closet is a good indication of your fashion sense.
For both men and women, you should know when to wear casual clothes and when to wear your more formal ones. A fashion faux pax is a big no-no as your attire also comes into play on how other people react to you.
When you dress smartly, people tend to listen to you because you look confident and put together. No one certainly wants to pay attention to someone who looks like she/he has just gotten out of bed. That is unfortunately true especially in an office setting.
But wearing a power suit doesn’t always scream authority. It can sometimes be used to hide one’s insecurity and frustrations. That’s why we should remember the cardinal rule of fashion: be confident.
Confidence goes a long way in making sure you look put together in your clothes. When in doubt, go back to having fun and enjoying the secret wonder of matching your attire to your personality.
Once you get to know yourself more, you’ll be able to form your own sense of style, which would then help in your Lakeland shopping.
