Why 'Style' Matters

(Spoiler: It’s Not What You Think)

Let me let you in on a secret:
Style doesn’t matter, at least not in the way you’ve been told.

Not if it means keeping up with trends or owning the “right” pieces. That exhausting cycle of what’s in and what’s out? That’s not what this is about.

What does matter is how you feel in your clothes, and what your appearance says about you.
How do you feel about the message your wardrobe sends? Does it feel like you?

Redefining Style

The word style can carry a lot of emotional baggage. For many, it suggests there’s a correct way to dress, and by default, a wrong one.

But what if we thought about style differently?
What if we saw it as harmony?

True style isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about creating a connection between your inner self and how you show up in the world. When those two things are in sync, something clicks. You feel confident, comfortable, and like your most you self.

The Psychology Behind What We Wear

I once studied The Social Psychology of Clothing and Textiles and it’s stuck with me ever since.

From the moment humans began wearing clothes, what we wore has carried meaning. Sure, clothing provides comfort and coverage, but it also sends signals, to the world and to ourselves.

What we wear can reflect:

  • Our mood and personality

  • Our work and aspirations

  • Our interests and beliefs

  • How we want to be seen and treated

And here’s the fascinating bit: those messages don’t just go out. They come back.
They shape how others respond to us—and how we feel about ourselves.

When Your Wardrobe Doesn’t Match Your Life

Take a moment to reflect:

  • What do you spend most of your time doing?

  • How do you dress for those things?

  • Does your wardrobe reflect your actual life and how you want to feel in it?

If your clothes feel disconnected from your daily reality, you’re not alone.
That misalignment is incredibly common and it can make getting dressed feel awkward, frustrating, or like you’re putting on a costume that doesn’t quite fit.

The Real Work of Personal Style

When I work with clients, we’re not chasing trends or trying to fit into someone else’s mould.
We’re creating alignment between your life, your values, and your clothes.

That means:

  • Understanding your lifestyle – What do your days actually look like?

  • Identifying your values – How do you want to show up in the world?

  • Recognising your body and preferences – What makes you feel good and confident?

  • Building a cohesive wardrobe – One that works for your real life, not a fantasy one.

What Happens When It All Aligns

When your wardrobe supports who you are, everything shifts:

✔️ Getting dressed is easier and more intuitive
✔️ Shopping becomes focused and less overwhelming
✔️ You feel more confident and authentic
✔️ You save time, money, and mental energy

Your Style Journey Starts Here

Style isn’t about perfection.
It’s about progression, a gradual, empowering journey toward dressing in a way that feels genuinely supportive of who you are now, and who you’re becoming.

Whether you’re navigating a life change, feeling stuck in a style rut, or simply ready for something new, this is your invitation to realign.
