What Is Your Ideal Style Profile?
Have you ever looked at someone and made an assumption about them based on how they were dressed? Sure, we all have – and whether we like it or not, people are constantly assessing who they think we are based on what we wear. The great thing 
is, you can guide people into seeing you how you want to be seen, simply through the clothes you choose and how you wear them.
Your clothes are a window into your personality. In the first few seconds after you meet someone, what do you want their first impression of you to be? Reserved and introspective? Bold and outgoing? Relaxed and creative? Your clothing can say all these things about you and more.
