First impressions are important. However, making the first step in any relationship can be quite stressful. Every new relationship means entering the unknown. Moreover, since you’re clueless about the other person’s character, you need to tread carefully when it comes to introducing yourself and getting to know the other person. This is why we all wish to express a part of our character in various ways. There’s hair, make-up, social media and mainly, our outfit. It’s one of the first things you notice about a person. This is why we all try to personalize our style in order to convey a message and express ourselves. So, let’s see what your clothing says about you according to your style.

Classical style

A person who likes classical clothing items is usually someone who likes to play it safe. It is someone who is steady, responsible and down to Earth. It is usually a practical person who prefers comfort overlooking fancy. It can also be that the person in question is a bit shy or self-conscious and is a bit afraid of taking chances. On the other hand, it can also be someone who simply doesn’t care about shopping or picking out various clothing items and combining them. People that are indifferent when it comes to fashion often opt for the classical style as it allows one to combine items in almost any way. They may be more focused on other things rather than fashion.

All About The Brand

People who like their clothes branded are usually extroverts. They like attention. Their style shows that they like to be in the spotlight and in the middle of any action. They also may be a bit materialistic or simply are people that enjoy luxurious things. However, don’t be fooled by their seemingly high confidence. It may as well be that these people are a bit insecure and that the brands actually give them confidence. In any case, a person that buys branded clothes is definitely someone ambitious and strives for greatness and power in some form. These people usually have leading positions in companies or school groups and they like to be in charge.

All That Jewelry

A person enjoying accessories is not that easy to read. They are usually also interested in attracting attention, obviously. Attention to detail is a common trait for someone that enjoys jewelry, as well. However, it’s also important what kind of accessories a person wears and how much. For instance, a lot of combined jewelry reveals confidence and creativity, while someone who likes to wear stylish automatic watches is probably a punctual person with a strong attitude and a sense of responsibility. Some people like to choose a signature accessories such as hats, necklaces, rings or watches. It can be anything as long as it’s worn most of the time. These people like to be recognized as unique.

Atypical Style

People who don’t have a set style or like to combine various things are usually free-spirited souls that love to express their creativity and freedom. It isn’t rare that this type of person is an artist of some sort, an architect or a teacher. Freedom in style usually reflects freedom of personality which is often followed by freedom in occupation. These guys also like attention in some way, but above all, they like to be perceived as unique and even quirky. It is an impression they want to make in order to let everyone know they’re free spirits. They’re also very approachable and friendly in many cases.

Sporty and Fit

Hoodies, tights, and sneakers are trademarks of this group. Sporty folks love their comfort and high-quality fabric. Their style clearly distinguishes them from all other groups which they love. A sporty person is usually disciplined, well organized and propagates and lives a very healthy life. These people are also punctual and they value order and good organization. They also like team activities and hanging out, but they like to have their day carefully planned out. They despise chaos and laziness.

All Black

Someone who has most of their wardrobe black is likely to be a mysterious person. They don’t want to reveal anything about themselves using their outfit. They prefer to stay anonymous and mysterious. However, this reveals something else about the group. They’re not easy to communicate with and they convey a message that one needs to try hard in order to get to know them, but it also means that it will probably be worth it in the end. Of course, it can also just be someone that really loves black or someone who doesn’t want to bother combining clothes and enjoys having a simple life. 

Having realized how much our outfit reveals information about our character, it is no wonder that people try so hard to dress nicely every day. It isn’t easy combining clothing items in order to match your character or your mood. As you can see, we probably do this subconsciously. This may also be a good explanation as to why we sometimes find it so hard to get dressed for certain occasions.
