To be stylish, focus your wardrobe on comfortable, timeless classic pieces

 A critical part of Image Development is creating a positive memorable personal style; how you physically look and feel.   First impressions are lasting and hard to change. Unfortunately, many people create opinions and perceptions based on your external appearance. We recommend you consciously direct and manage your personal style to align with your goals and aspirations. Create a look that will get the response you are looking for in your personal life, work, and business. The key objective is to be successful; don’t let your personal style get in the way.

 The beginning of each New Year is the perfect time to conduct an extensive audit on your wardrobe.  Take time to survey your closet and carefully select pieces that you really like, are in good condition, and wear regularly. Be honest with yourself. Cut emotional ties to items you haven’t been able to get into for years. Choose items that make you feel and look great.  Keep these items, remove everything else and immediately give them away to a charity like Salvation Army.  

 Next, plan to refocus your wardrobe on comfortable, timeless classic pieces. Add classic quality items to your wardrobe first.  The anchor of your wardrobe should be pieces that will not go out of style and are of the highest quality. Less in more. Purchase a few choice pieces that you really like, fit perfectly, and will wear. Classic pieces for work include: the button down white shirt, black suit, black shoes, trench coat, quality leather bags/briefcases, and smart accessories. Don’t forget to round out your wardrobe with pieces for special occasions and play. Once your anchor pieces are in place, add a few trendy fashionable items and a splash of color for fun. Now it’s time to go shopping. Enjoy rebuilding your wardrobe and developing your personal style.
