1. Start with Your Vibe, Not Your Closet
Before you buy anything, ask yourself: Who am I dressing as? Is your style more minimal and modern? Edgy and bold? Soft and vintage? Scroll Pinterest, save outfit inspo on Instagram, or make a mood board. Find patterns in what you’re drawn to — those are your style clues.
2. Master the Basics First
You don’t need 30 outfits — you need 10 pieces that work together. Start with clean, versatile basics:
A sharp white tee
Tailored trousers or jeans that fit just right
A classic jacket or blazer
Neutral sneakers or boots
Build your wardrobe like a capsule: fewer pieces, more style.
3. Fit Is Everything
You can wear a $20 outfit and still look expensive — if the fit is right. Pay attention to how clothes sit on your body. Don’t be afraid to visit a tailor (seriously, it’s a game changer), or experiment with sizes and cuts until it feels right.
4. Invest in Signature Pieces
Once your basics are solid, choose 1–2 pieces that define your look. Maybe it’s a killer leather jacket. Maybe it’s chunky boots or a silver chain. Your signature piece should make you feel instantly confident — and instantly you.
5. Style Is Confidence in Motion
You don’t need to know everything about fashion. You just need to wear your outfit like it was made for you. Shoulders back. Head up. Trust your instincts — and give yourself permission to evolve. The best-dressed people aren’t always the trendiest. They’re just the most self-assured.
