When it comes to fashion sense, there isn’t much that’s more important than creating your very own look. You want people to recognize your eye for a distinctive flair, and to not only appreciate it, but also to comment on it. It’s only when you receive regular compliments from strangers that you should think you’ve got something going on in the fashion department. Since being noticed is virtually everyone’s goal, it’s important to get going on creating your own personal look.
Getting started isn’t as hard as you might think. It’s all about focusing on what appeals to you personally. Don’t pay attention to talking head media types who don’t think for themselves; combine your street smarts with your favorite colors and patterns, and you’re halfway there. Like that old, worn out fedora on the shelf at your local consignment shop? Put it on, pay for it, and wear it with your brand new jeans. Pair it with a slick, body hugging tee shirt for maximum cross latitude style points.
See, fashion isn’t so much about taking the heads of the fashion world verbatim and following their lead slavishly. It’s about personal expression. Not so sure? Think about it for a minute. A fashion house is led by a single industry icon. That person has risen through the ranks to dominate their area. And they’ve all done it by listening to a single person: themselves. When Gucci has an idea, they don’t run it by a panel to see if it will pass consensus. They merely make it fashionable by producing it and marketing it. And so it should be with your style.
