Proper fit is vital no matter what your style. Build a relationship with tailor. Start with basics: sleeve length for example. Over time a tailor will come to understand your personal needs. They will begin cutting you a break here and there on rates eventually.
Dressing with style is a matter of obeying most current rules but using articles that speak to you.
Observe others on the street and check store windows. Buy what attracts you and ignore that which doesn’t.
Building your own style over the framework of current trends takes time to learn. Don’t try to get it all right away.
Now is a very exciting time to do fashion as more than ever it’s not what you wear but how you wear it.
Happily, IMO the trend toward wearing dressier items in a casual way is staying with us, it’s not a fad. I also believe it’s easier than aligning more casual items.
Color is the easiest way to express yourself, fortunately color is very in these days.
One of the biggest things you can do to pop is learn how to use complimentary colors instead of matching ones, especially between shirts and ties. Play with combinations in store displays.
If you aren’t sure about an item and it’s returnable buy it. See how you feel about it in the quiet of your home. Experiment with it and articles you already have. If it doesn’t work, return it.
Finding your own style is something no one else can do for you. It takes time and experimentation.
Familiarize yourself with fashion rules in online forums, ask questions. You have to be familiar with the rules to know which ones you can break in the name of your own style.
Never assemble an outfit with items exclusively from one house. It looks tragic.
Approach this gradually and in a relaxed manner, in time it will come to you. You’ll have a wardrobe that looks up to date and smart, but is most certainly you.
In time you’ll have the confidence that makes almost any outfit work.
