..a great misunderstanding about style... it can be learned.
Style is one part self-knowledge and one part self-confidence. In other words, it’s an attitude. It is knowing your strengths and weaknesses so that you can accentuate your strengths. Feeling good about yourself is a sine qua non of looking good.
Style always delights because it is a revelation that the possibilities for originality are limitless.
Style is intelligent, because it requires self-knowledge. Style hugs the self closely, even though it never represents the whole self at one time. The self is too complex to be represented by any one way of dressing.
Style is optimistic. It is optimism made visible. Style presumes that you are a person of interest, that the world is a place of interest, that life is worth making the effort for.
Ideally it should evolve over time, as character does. Style is really self-knowledge applied selectively--selectivity is its essence--to the material world.
