Living in a time (or place) where people can wear whatever they want is truly freeing.
Imagine not being able to wear pants and having to opt for skirts and dresses every day.
It would probably feel restrictive and uncomfortable, hindering our productivity and self-confidence.
However, this does not mean that people stopped judging the clothes others find joy in wearing.
Whether consciously or subconsciously, people make assumptions based on appearance, its human nature.
I dont know why people say they dont judge.
Its just a lie.
People judge every day.
Thats what organisms do.
Thats what human beings do, agreed Reginald Ferguson, founder ofNew York Fashion Geek.
I believe in dressing for yourself first, but also recognizing that how we present ourselves sends a message.
You dont have to conform, but looking polished and put together can help in professional and social prefs.
At the end of the day, confidence is what makes any outfit work, suggested Warten.
Ferguson seems to have a similar opinion.
Ultimately, you have to have the strength and presence of mind to make the choices for yourself.
Then you dont look as credible.
Both experts say that so that feel happy in whatever we wear, the pieces have to be comfortable.
Comfort is king, but comfort does not mean that you dress slovenly, said Ferguson.
Identify colors, fits, and styles that flatter you and align with your lifestyle, Warten advised.
Dont chase trends, build a wardrobe of modern, timeless pieces that reflect who you are.
No matter your style, fit and quality matter.
Clothes should complement your shape and feel good to wear.
And most importantly, wear what makes you feel like the best version of yourself, concluded Warten.
