The 10 Things you should know before you shop
Everyone is uniquely different; therefore not every fashion trend is going to look right on you. This is why it is so important to follow the following steps before you shop:
1. Determine what colors and are going to work best with your physical coloring (skin color, hair color, eye color) crucial when choosing fabric colors. Colors can brighten your face and bring you forward or they can wash you out and make you look sallow.
2. Determine your Body Type: (big and tall, short and slim, athletic, rotund etc.) Crucial when choosing styles and creating the correct silhouette for your body’s form: Pleats versus plain front trousers makes a huge difference on an individual who is conscious of their middle section.
3. Consider your Activity level: crucial when choosing fabrics: silk vs. high performance worsteds.
4. Consider your Lifestyle socially and in business. Determines the types of fashion you will need the most.
5. Consider your profession: An engineer will have different fashion needs from an attorney, or the editor of a magazine: the well tailored suit vs. well tailored business casual. Why well tailored? There's no reason for anyone to look sloppy and having the right fit is SOMETHING SHE DEFINITELY NOTICES. Details are very important.
6. Consider Your Personality: Your apparel will create an individual flair and "The Statement" you wish to project.
7. Consider the Image you wish to convey: Studies show 30 seconds is how long it takes for a first impression. In those 30 seconds you are judged on many things, including: Education, Sophistication, Trustworthiness, Social Standing, Success, and Competence. The results are based almost entirely on visual cues. Appearance does count! And first impressions affect salaries, career advancement and the influence you will have on others.
8. Consider your personal likes and dislikes: determines what to look into and what to stay away from.
9. Consider the climate in your area: determines fabrics and types of clothing needed.
10. Consider your formal wear needs: Every gentleman needs at least one tuxedo in his closet. And if you are going to be your best, you better get this one RIGHT FOR HER in social settings.
