My limited understanding is to get the following right in the following order,
Break them at your peril (insofar you don't know) or to send "it takes one to know one"/non-literal IDGAF messages (insofar you do know)...
Possible theme for an ERE meetup/workshop: "How to dress well". It would likely help to bring along an expert of sorts. Does anyone have connections to a stylist? Might this be a thing?
Break them at your peril (insofar you don't know) or to send "it takes one to know one"/non-literal IDGAF messages (insofar you do know)...
- Their situation (mandatory suits at white collar interviews, etc. )
- Your style (certain clothes project certain styles, e.g. goth dresses goth, nerd dresses nerd, classy dresses classy, sporty dresses sporty (just think of the Spice Girls, style goes with type)... a mismatched style makes you weirdly uncomfortable and it shows *pretends tie is noose*. Conversely, insofar you're not the mall-bland greyman-type, you can really make a statement by choosing an "alternative clothing"-style.)
- Your fit (e.g. shoulder seam stops at the bone and not halfway down the delts, etc. Fit essentially comes down to the "panels" of the clothing matching the "panels" of YOUR body. Ideally highlighting the good ones and hiding the bad ones (again YOUR body). Note that more expensive clothes have more "panels" and thus the potential to create a greater fit. For example, fancy t-shirts make 30" biceps look bigger than they really are, cheap t-shirts do the bare minimum towards the average 36" waist.)
- Your colors (you probably look better in some colors than others whereas for idiosyncratic reasons, your entire wardrobe is blue because you just keep propagating blue whenever you buy new stuff even if you look better in grey; there are also warm colors and cold colors and what works for you depends on your skin tone/eyes/hair---the right "heat" is an instant improvement over the wrong "heat" for imperceptible reasons.)
- Their patterns (there are "rules" but it's hard to go wrong with "simpler is better". If in doubt, avoid complications.)
- Their texture (same thing).
- ... fog of war ...
