When I first cared about style, I thought it was all about flashy jackets, loud patterns, and chasing trend. It wasn’t. I wasted time, money, and confidence on pieces that didn’t last and didn’t reflect who I wanted to be.
What really matters:
- Fit: A garment that fits well communicates strength and attention to detail.
- Fabric: Quality materials last, feel better, and command respect in subtle ways.
- Intentional Wardrobe: A few versatile, timeless pieces beat a closet full of random buys every time.
The real transformation happened when I stopped buying clothes just to look good and started buying to represent who I truly am. That mindset opened doors and connections I never expected, opportunities and recognition that went beyond the wardrobe.
For newcomers: what’s the part of style that confuses you the most, fit, fabric, or building a wardrobe that actually works?
For veterans: what’s the one lesson you wish someone had told you before you started?
I’d love to hear your thoughts and if you’ve faced the same struggles I did, feel free to reach out.
