Learn to be fashion smart
Can the two bond?
What is fashion? How do you become more wardrobe conscious? These are two of the many riddles ruminated on in a Timesofindia.indiatimes.com article titled “fashion takes intelligence.”
Written in response to the recent cultural trend away from superficial appearances and towards intelligence (Its about time!), the post attempts to define “fashion” and says,
“Real fashion involves subtle yet tasteful elegance, and says who you are – after all what's on the outside is really an expression of who you are.”
Going on step by step to observe the cerebral challenges of maintaining that “chic’ look without appearing to try, important stuff, no?
The first rule is learn the lingo. I won’t list them all because you really should read the thoughtful musings for yourself by clicking HERE.
One guideline I absolutely agree with is “Soul Searching”. Find out who you are and what wardrobe and accessories accentuate your individual personality.
What do these looks say about the wearer?
Another that caught my eye is “Invoke your Creativity”, embrace the art of design. Essentially it’s the less is more rule, dress with a strategy. Choose singular items that express the signals desired and that work together without clashing.
Personally I’m not sure about the smarts it takes to look good and dress well. I will acknowledge that it takes determination and stamina to develop your own look. I do agree it takes a degree of talent or skill, but like any obscure recreation it all comes down to passion and desire.
A more generic approach
If you want to be a trend setter, a cool customer, a unique snowflake then you can.It just takes being attentive to the world around you and scrutinising those who’s sense of style you admire. Then modifying it to your own psyche.
