Introduction

As far as the introduction of style is concerned the history takes us to Stone Age, if you want to know when people started wearing clothes, the answer is when they started moving to colder climates. Early man lived in desserts, cavemen used animal skins to stay warm .According to archaeologists, and the people of the Stone Age used animal skin for clothing. Some tied it around their waist while others just sling skins over their shoulders.so style is there from the time when the earth gets it right place in the universe.

Style defines how you do things, create something, manufacture something, you capability to do something on your own or to copy what style influences you.

From the time when human started wearing clothes or caveman started wearing animal skins even wearing animal skin in different ways represents style and we do represent our self often wrongly by styling ourselves from the day first some gets your image bad from your talking style, some people caught you from you bad dressing sense some caught you from ur mismatching dress sense, your appearance, your mismatching color sense etc.

Analysis

a

Bad fit:

Most common, too large or too small individual suffered from this style,95% men wears too long fits when they are out of clothes, too large from shoulders ,from the length side, men carry this style from decades, good clothing create sense of comfortability, if you can feel the clothing you wear is probably chances that you have worn rightly but keep it in mind that it shouldn’t be sticky on your body, too tight not too loose this is what you have to know.

Not dressing for the occasion:

Over or underdressed, many of us don’t over dress we often gets ourselves under dress and we do it alot, women do over dressing, if a person respects you but still he would expect you to see dressed up according the event he won’t let you enter if you are a kind of stranger invited to a formal party, seen you dressed up in long shirt and a trouser, people dressed up in army suits we’ll expect them that they are not coming to attend a tuxedo.

Mismatching colors:

We have issues with matching color 3% men are color blind , 7% has some degree of color blindness but men do have a problem in matching color it need a bit of practice go for 1 dominant color and complimentary colors could help u dressing up having matched colors. Contrast like ;light skin, light contrast dress will suit you, similarly for a dark colored skin ;use dark contrast it will suit.

Mismatching patterns:

a

The less pattern u have the more formal usually the garment is, Matching is to match the different size patterns, by pattern means the strips the checks, rugged, camouflage made on the suit, tie, clothes that are to be matched in such a way you feel comfortable with it and must be according to the event you are dressing up for.

Dressing your body inappropriately:

Some of us are tall, short and medium sized, if u are tall you don’t have to look more taller or if u are short you have to dress up to get seemed more shorter ,oversized fits are inappropriate, your clothes should fit you accordingly alike your physic ,from shoulder, from your torso , from your arms .

Choosing quantity over quality:

That is a common problem that we face in our daily routine life, wearing a lot but not wearing good won’t worth your personality, See the stitching see from inside whether it’s stitched loose get a site where no 1 could see you and pull a bit of ur shirt so could see the stitching and go for the good fiber, buy less but buy the quality.

Getting the details as wrong:

Devil is often is in the details, the thing which is very simple and when you go in details you find it all wrong, the things which looks good it’s more often that isn’t good when you go in detail of the things, things are made to look good if they don’t make you feel good then don’t wear it don’t buy it. Add details more seriously than adding major portion of it seriously. See the environment where you are moving and in which environment you are living in ,if conservative then do not go for puffs and stylish things be conservative in it but don’t forget to add details in everything to a

a

sure yourself and others that you give importance to everything you own.

Conclusion

We should dress ourselves in such a way that must create a sense of comfort while being dressed up, if it doesn’t the pull it

off ,concentrating to each minor detail while dressing up while matching patterns, while matching colors. Buy good products do buy the quantity buy the quality, buy less but do buy good. If you

are feeling comfortable with your dress then don’t give even a single opportunity to others to other to taunt you on it wear it

with confidence.
