An Essential to Life

If you think about it confidence is an essential to life, not a want that we long for. It’s the one thing that can take us as far as we want or keep us from attaining what we strive for. Confidence seems to come easy for some people but nobody is born with it; It’s developed, and one way to help develop your confidence is your wardrobe. The majority of our life success has begun with how we looked. Think about it….that job you got a few months ago, well you were judged by your employer before you even said a word just based on how you dressed, and how do you think most people become couples? It’s that initial attraction to one another. Am I wrong?

There are numerous factors that can help a person develop self confidence, but one that I’m going to talk about includes starting a fashion statement.

Some of you may skim right over this part because you think you are too shy to start a trend, but PLEASE READ this part. You do not have to be a type A (extraverted) personality to make a fashion statement. I am not even close to being that personality type that can talk anyone and everyone and even I’ve started a trend. If I can do it, so can you! Starting a fashion statement does not have to be a nation wide trend, it can simply be within your neighborhood, or even your school, either way will have the exact same affect. Walking down the hallways at school and noticing that a few girls (or boys) are wearing an outfit similar to the one you wore last week is a HUGE compliment and a boost of confidence. It’s extremely flattering when people like your style and want to look just as good as you did when you wore that outfit; it’s a compliment without even having to verbally express it.

Here are six tips on how to start your own fashion statement as told by wikihow:

1) Be sure that your fashion fad is original, simple, and affordable

2) Ask questions like “Will people wear this?” “Will it fade quickly?” “Is it affordable?” “Do I feel good in it?”

3) Try mix and matching different style types (ex: sporty and prep)

4) Display and express it (with confidence)

5) Don’t announce that you are going to start a trend. Let people notice it on their own.

6) Don’t coordinate with others to all do the same style at once.

If you are looking to start a trend that will spread a little larger than your local neighborhood or school then here are four tips according to ehow on how to do that:

1) Start with an article of clothing that you’re in love with and work it into an outfit you put together

2) Introduce the outfit to your friends and family at first and even wear it around your school to see if anyone notices it.

3) Try to make your trend known. Write to your favorite fashion magazine with some pictures of the trend and see what they think.

4) Once you have gotten it into a magazine and people know about it, try to get a celebrity to start wearing it around and soon you should see others wearing your trend everywhere you turn 🙂
