Don’t overlook the small details.

There are many things I pay attention when I am analysing people’s personal style, but I definitely look at the tiny details.

Fancy shoes? I will pay attention to your socks.

Expensive bags? I will look at your whole outfit.

Bling-bling watches and jewellery? I will look at your overcoat, your scarf, etc.

In my mind, the “full package” needs to make sense together. Your personal style needs to be cohesive, needs to be coherent and most definitely needs to reflect YOU, not some Instagram influencer.  

In doesn’t make sense to me that you are wearing fancy shoes, but you are wearing old socks, or worst white socks (pet peeve alert).

In doesn’t matter if you are wearing a statement bag, if your tights are ripped.

My point is, our style should correlate with our lifestyle. Why are trying to be perceived as something else? If we don’t own a boat, maybe we shouldn’t try to look like an investment banker.

Like many other businesses, the fashion industry sales depends greatly on our low self-esteem and insecurities. Be smarter, be better, know your worth is not on what you own, but on how you behave as a human-being.

Here is a very interesting article about this:

 “Bernays understood something nobody else in business ever understood before him: that if you can tap into people’s insecurities — if you can needle at their deepest feelings of inadequacy — then they will buy just about any damn thing you tell them to.”

For me the best/small things an individual should do, to look sharp and attractive are:

• Personal grooming: have a nice haircut, beard, nice and clean nails, etc.
• Pay attention to accessories: socks, visible underwear, scarfs, etc. If it’s old, it has fulfilled its purpose in this world, throw it away.
• Fake jewellery: if it has lost its shine and brightness, throw it away.
• Clean items: make sure your coat is not full or cat fur before you leave your flat in the morning.
• No creased clothing, I totally recommend buying a clothes steamer.

I honestly believe that if you follow these small tips, your personal style will improve, but above all, you will make a positive impact.
