• Upgrade your Fashion and Style

Hello guys! I am back with my next article and I am sure it is proving to be quite interesting and informative for all of you. In previous articles, I told you about the first step of getting a healthy lifestyle and that was health and fitness. Yesterday, Nancy, a friend of mine, called me and told me that my articles are proving to be a great help for her to pinpoint mistakes that made her lifestyle a poor one.

So, today I am going to tell you about the second step that is very important toward achieving a healthy and admirable lifestyle.

We have heard many times that our fashion and style have a great impact on our lifestyle. Our fashion sense can make our lifestyle stress-free and comfortable or it can worsen our lifestyle by adding stress and anxiety to it. So, there is a direct relationship between your fashion and style and your lifestyle. 

To understand what kind of correlation our fashion and style have with our lifestyle, firstly, we need to understand what is fashion and style.

• What is fashion?

Fashion is the trend or popular style of dressing, shoes, beauty products, jewelry, and accessories that are popular in a particular period. In other words, fashion refers to aesthetic preferences that are influenced by culture and design the way people get dressed and present themselves. For example, fashion trend of fall, spring or summer that are designed by fashion industry designers and people readily buy it to boost their look.

So, fashion is something that is constantly changing and is influenced by the society in which we are living. While dressing up and defining our fashion line, the majority of us look at other people in our society and get an influence from them. Not only our dressing style and outlook, but our behaviors, speaking style, and writing style also get influenced by major trends being followed in our society and fall under the category of fashion.  

• What is style?

Style means a person’s way of dressing and presenting himself. It includes their choice of dressing, hairstyle, makeup, accessories, and overall, about their aesthetics. So, style is a person’s expression of his identity, personality, choices, and taste.

So, your style is something that you define for yourself and it well suits your desire and idea of how you want to present yourself. Unlike fashion, your style is not something that is continuously changing and getting influenced by the society and ideas of the fashion industry. For example, you can select bohemian dressing style, classic dressing style, cocktail dressing style, formal style, casual style, baby-doll dressing style, etc. Now you select whichever style, it would remain same for a long time unless and until you change it.

You may have noticed some people around you who are not so fashionistas and never follow the fashion trends religiously. But their aesthetic preferences always get admiration. Now the question arises how do those people look so good even after not following the latest fashion trend? And why do they not look outdated? But rather they look quite good.

The answer is these people use to combine the latest fashion trends with their own choices and aesthetic preferences. Unlike fashionistas people, they don’t follow the latest fashion trends blindly, but design their style which cater to their needs and lifestyle in the best way.

I know few people who carry themselves in such a perfect manner that it seems like what they are wearing at a particular was perfectly made for them. 

So, here I am sharing a few tips for you to combine fashion and style and create a look for yourself that caters to your lifestyle in the best possible way.

1. You just saw a fashion show and there you saw few latest trends in clothing and jewelry. But you know you cannot carry those clothes and jewelry as it is in your routine life. So, instead of adopting those fashion trends as it is, try to figure out what particular fashion trend you like.
2. In the next step, find out what kind of style you want to carry in the long run. For instance, you want to look classic with a lasting and polished fashion, you want to look girlish and youthful, you want to look sporty and comfortable, you want to look noticed and bold, you want to look different and unexpected, or you want to look sexy by showing your skin and revealing your curves.  
3. Now you have chosen a fashion trend and then selected a style that you want to carry in long run. The next step is to make sure that your chosen fashion trend and style is just according to your lifestyle. For instance, you work in a bank or a company. In your workplace, you cannot wear a crop top with a mini skirt or a dress having a long and curvy neckline, because it doesn’t give the right message. Given your work environment, you have to wear something like a knee-length skirt with a full-sleeve dress shirt or a two-piece suit. As you know your dressing style gives a message to others. So, keep the message intact and modify a few details of your professional dressing style that not only fits your work environment but also fits your choices. Now, I hope you have clearly understood what is fashion and style and how these two can be combined to get the most desired results. For example, alter your plain dull colored dress shirt with some cool colored shirt having a nice cut at neckline or altering your shoes with some stilettoes, court shoes, balmoral oxfords, bluchers, dress-boots, loafers, etc.

• Correlation of Fashion and Style with Your Lifestyle

Your fashion and lifestyle are two interwind aspects of your identity. Have you ever thought about how the choices that you make while choosing your dresses and other items of your outlook affect your lifestyle? The answer is the way you dress up, choose jewelry and other items for your outlook, and select shoes and brands that are just according to your taste are not just a selection of your fashion and style, but they reflect your personality, ideas, and choices.

Beware that your personal style and fashion line that you are following becomes a language of your self-awareness, creativity, confidence, professionalism, and a reflection of you. A good selection of fashion and style could raise your self-esteem and ease your mind. But sometimes, you get the wrong influence of others while designing your wardrobe and select clothes and other items that don’t suit your lifestyle. Hence, your fashion and style instead of giving you happiness, make you stressed and lower your self-esteem. 

Try to make sure that your fashion and style are just to your budget, inner satisfaction, aesthetic sense, and personality. Otherwise, it will cost you inner peace and in turn your lifestyle would get badly affected.

So, my dear, you have to kick out the wrong choices about your fashion and style and replace them with choices that would boost your lifestyle.
