Dealing with the Self-Appointed Fashion Police

There is one thing that you risk dealing with when you decide that you want to step out of your fashion comfort zone. This is the self-appointed fashion police. There are people who take it upon themselves to be the judge and jury on what you wear, and they will let you know what they think even though you didn’t ask them. Often times, it is something as small as the length of your top or the color of your buttons. There are also other things they may talk about. However, you are the one who decides what you want to wear.

Sometimes, they do have some kind of benefit. For instance, they may make a remark about how your dress shirts fit for instance, they may be too loose or too tight. However, in order to avoid some of the hassles that can come with this, you can do a search for answers on how should your dress shirts fit. This will give you a lot of pointers on what you need to do in order to make sure they are fitting well. You can also take them to a tailor if you need to or can afford it so that you can have it fitting you as close to perfectly as possible.

Even when it comes to casual occasions, you may come across these types if you are dressing outside of the norm. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways you can take what they say. You can take certain notes. However, it is important to remember that in the end, the rules of fashion can be broken. As a matter of fact, some of the rules of fashion need to be broken in order to move forward. You just have to remember that the best person to dress for in the casual times is yourself.

Also, if otherwise you have put together a nice outfit that is well coordinated, you are going to get compliments on it even if it is unconventional. When you get those compliments, you want to pay more attention to these compliments than the criticism you might get from the more judgmental self-appointed fashion critics. This is especially the case if you like the clothes you have on. In the end, people sometimes criticize for different reasons that would surprise you. For instance, the ones who criticize the most tend to be the ones that actually admire your willingness to explore. However, that admiration has turned into envy.

One thing to understand is that no matter how you dress, you are going to have people who do not like what you are wearing. Therefore, playing it safe and staying within convention is not going to do you much good in the long run. It is better to be authentic to who you are and seek out people who will accept you for who you are and what your style really is. With fashion, you have the opportunity to find your audience as opposed to dressing for the wrong audience.
