Personality Development
 FASHION FINESSE
 CLOTHING – is for protection,
comfort, modesty and
enhancement of your beauty. To
put on anything that is
inappropriate, gaudy, vulgar, or
otherwise offensive to others
detracts from your appearance.
 Some Guidelines to Avoid Expensive or
Embarrassing Mistakes while Developing your
Personal Style:

 Appropriateness Above All

- the best rule is always to dress

within the bounds of classic good taste
- is determined by a number of
factors, and can change dramatically from
situation to situation
Outside or indoors, mixed ages or
peers, geography, building, event,
and the weather can affect one’s
mode of dress.
 Fashion is Serious

What you wear reveals a significant

message about you and your world. Even if
you don’t care about clothes, they
communicate much about your attitudes
toward the occasion, your company, and
yourself. In the morning, you make a
decision what to wear to which others
respond all day long. Think of your clothes
as the most communicative factor after your
face and eyes, personal style is how you
send nonverbal messages.
 One dresses out of consideration for
others as well as for one’s own self-image.
No one wants to fade into the woodwork,
it is nice sometimes to lead the pack, and
quite naturally you want your clothing to
communicate the feeling that you
“belong.”

Your goal is a wardrobe of clothes that are

right for your body, your personality, your
environment, and the specific occasion.
 MAKING CHOICES
In 1970, young fashion was blue jeans
and a T-shirt. A generation later, the
young dressed up again. There are
many alternatives in fashion today.
Dress conservatively. Simplicity,
expressed in the highest quality fabric
and most intelligent design, has
special elegance.
The most exciting thing about
fashion is the artistic
expression it permits. If you
have a sense of fashion’s
past, you can indulge in
appropriate whimsy, mix and
match and feel comfortable
and at ease.
