Hi everyone,
Do you have a sense of style and clear expression of your identity and tastes in your clothing? I really struggle to form a clear style and I end up feeling scruffy instead of purposefully put together. I've been looking at capsule wardrobes to see if I can fix this and find a bit of fashion sense. Curious if anyone else struggles with this? It doesn't help that I have to go into shops and feel everything, try the fit etc and can't just shop online like a lot of people do these days.
This has stemmed from me wanting to make a good impression in my new job, which has a bit more of a formal dress code than my last one.
At work, I learned to have very few clothes but of high quality. I stuck to either major brands or a local high quality tailor, and I learned to identify 'classic'. At home, I stick to classics but bulk buy. I never buy one pair of jeans; if I'm confident it's a brand I know I buy three. Ditto trainers, shirts etc. That works.
I need to do this, especially for work.
