We have all heard the phrase ‘dress to impress’ but what does that even mean? Is it the Power Suit of the 80s ready to walk into the Boardroom? Or is it the perfect Black Dress on the first date? Or maybe its even the most outrages pattern mixing outfit inspired by the latest runways to get the job at a fashion magazine?

To make the answer simple, yes all of these and more.

Okay so that’s not simple at all in the manner of figuring out where and what to wear at all times, but it shows that there is not one right way to do ‘fashion’.

Because fashion is more than just pretty dresses and snobby stylists who seem to have all the answers. It is about inspiring and being inspired by others, by the environment and even the culture that surrounds us. It is not superficial and brainless, it has a big impact on how we perceive the world and it can provoke social change even on a political level. To have the creative outlet to put a visual to verbal commentary is a powerful tool that designers use to portray their view and their message.

So how can that help you find your personal ‘fashion moments’? Here it is on you to be bold and brave to embrace your truest self and get yourself out of your comfort zone. Try out every style and trend that speaks to you, if it doesn’t work then it will retire and make room for the next big thing. Get inspiration from others and put your own unique handprint on it, not to copy but to help and inspire your own choice. See if there are things from past decades that you tend to gravitate towards and emulate that in your modern, everyday style. There are so many ways for everyone to live their truest self and to feel amazing expressing themselves through fashion.

So ‘dress to impress’ yourself, by doing that you will impress the skeptics and anyone you might encounter. Wether that’s the Power Suit, the Black Dress, or the Fashion forward moment, express yourself and the message you want to convey.

So stay in Search of Fashion gorgeous!
