Jeans should fit and match your outfit, regardless of brand name
Style is a form of communication that is expressed through clothing, but it takes more than a few nice
pieces of clothing to make you stylish. Things like your personality, your posture and body language,
your grooming, your body type; all these things cumulate to produce a unique expression of you, and
that is ultimately what style is about.
Myth #5) Style is something you either have or you dont
This is a myth that I personally believed for a long time. Sometimes when you see someone who has a
great sense of style, it can seem as if they have some special ability that you dont. Style is a subject
that just isnt taught in schools, and it can seem like some people just get it, while you dont even
know where to begin.
As someone who started off clueless about style myself, I can totally relate to that feeling. However,
as someone who was also able to teach himself how to dress well, I can tell you that style is
something that anyone can learn if you put your mind to it. Style is just like any other skill, and its
something that can be learned and developed with practice (Ill share how I developed my own style
in the next chapter).
So what is style, you might be asking? A simple formula to remember for the rest of your journey is:
Style = External Expression of Self
Style is the total sum of the way you move your body, walk, talk, eat, greet people, or do anything for
that matter. Like game, it is the outer expression of our inner self! This encompasses our identities of
who we think we are, how we think, our values, our culture, our interests, and much more.
You can tell real artists from a mile away because they have a style that is congruent with their
personality, and this shines through in their clothing to the way they sit down at the dinner table.
Ultimately, style is about being able to express yourself through your clothing and the way you
present yourself. Its about figuring out what message you want to communicate when someone sees
you, and to have the knowledge to be able to communicate that message clearly.
Learning about style is almost like learning a new language. It has its own unique vocabulary, and
you can combine the different elements of style to create your own unique form of expression. In this
book, I will teach you the language of style, and show you how you can best use it to present your
most attractive self.
