Imagine being able to tell people who you are without even speaking – or adding to the story about yourself that you are telling the world through what you put on your body. This is not only possible but necessary depending on the world in which you belong. If you are the high-powered type, a well-tailored gorgeous suit paired with the right accessories and hair says, “I am here to make and close some deals.” And if you are the hippie artistic type, some distressed clothes paired with loads of jewelry and a cool hat will really say – “Put me on stage and let me wow the crowd”. Let’s get you telling your story, shall we?

The Beginning of The Plot: Clothing

The first thing people will see on you is the clothes– so you have to make sure they are giving off the vibe you want them to. If you want to be fun and cute, pick something with some fun colors. If you want to be taken seriously, pick a suit or a dress in black and from a quality brand. Picking up some nice clothes means you start the story you want to tell the right way!

The Essence of The Story: The Scent

A good perfume will announce your presence before you walk into a room and linger on the people you meet and the surfaces and the air behind you long after you have left! Florals say that you are passionate, and Musk insists you’re bold. When you’re choosing your signature aroma, consider how you most want to be remembered. Do you want to be inviting, do you want to be crisp, do you want to be exciting? Your fragrance, by nature, is the secret ingredient that gives your story intrigue and invites readers to look deeper. Its hypnotizing aroma stays with those that you bewitch long after the chapter ends aka – you walk out of the room. Bond no 9 fragrances at Jomashop tell one heck of a story, so maybe check them out!

The Themes of The Tale: The Accessories

The workhorses of the story you want to tell are those carefully curated accessories. Take jewelry, bags, watches, hats, scarves, or even your belted accessories as your materials of intrigue. Jewelry can most frequently represent strength and courage, but a bag can also be seen as confidence and practicality. A watch? It’s sleek, sophisticated, and on time. A hat? It’s adventuristic and spunky. Scarf, belt? They round out the plot, like supporting characters, pulling your story into scenes of elegance. Letting the reader know with a bag slung over your shoulders that you are put-together and refined.

The Climax: The Hair

If you have ever watched one of those fashion review shows, you will hear them say something like – “ I like the outfit, but that hair ruins it”. That is because hair really ties an outfit together. If you are wearing a fancy dress with a gorgeous neck – the last thing you want to do is cover up that neckline with your hair – nay, nay! So make sure you give your story a nice climax by giving whatever ensemble you have on the perfect and befitting hairdo!

What Should Go Into Writing Your Fashion Story

• Your Job: You want to have fun with your clothes but you want to make sure it is in line with your profession. There are ways to spice up an austere suit for example – you can throw on a pop of color with the socks you wear or pop some of those top buttons on your button down to reveal a nice necklace.
• Your Body: The most impactful variable in your story is your body. Own it, appreciate it, celebrate what you have. Wearing clothes that appreciate your body will help create a more unified message and will improve your confidence which will make the audience more focused on other elements of the story.

A Fashionable Story That Is Worth Telling 

Say your suit is gorgeous, but your shirt is wrinkled to the person who meets you; this might mean you don’t pay attention to detail. So, if you want to always make the best impression – think of yourself as a story and carefully curate that story with the things you choose to put on your body, from the clothes you choose to how you smell (you can check out Versace fragrances at Jomashop). There are so many cool ways to tell your story!
