Before buying any clothing items or accessories, there are a few principles of style that a person would do well to follow. First, pick items that speak to you, that express your individual personality. Once you know what you like, pick items that represent you positively to others, such as by conveying professionalism or intelligence. Your style is a valuable form of nonverbal communication. In addition, pick comfortable and easy-to-maintain items, so they are appropriate no matter what you do throughout the day.

Regarding picking specific items, invest in new clothing on a two to five-year basis. Looks that are between two and five years old will maintain their stylishness more consistently than those of a current trend. Start small, by developing one week’s worth of outfits you enjoy, consisting of jackets, shirts, pants, shoes, and socks in multiple neutral colors. Then, if you’re satisfied with the results, purchase more similar items.
