When you feel truly at home and comfortable in your clothing Daddy’s little tax exemptions shirt, you will forget about it, but know that what you’re wearing looks good on you and that gives you confidence and courage to tackle your goals and dreams. This is why I’m so passionate about helping you discover your authentic style and how you can express this best. We can all appreciate the style of others, admire them for their style, but if you’ve ever copied an outfit that you’ve admired on someone else and felt like it was all wrong on you, it’s because that outfit was authentic to the original, but on you, it’s a poor imitation and a costume rather than an expression of you, as you are not a clone of that person. Your style won’t be authentic either if it’s not an expression of your values as these come deep from your core. If you value “freedom” you will have a very different style (most likely) from someone who values “conservatism”. I’ve developed a process in my Visualise Your Style mini-course to help you both tease out your values and then take them and turn them into garments, outfits and a personal style – that you’d actually wear and feel great in. I’ve never worn a lot of sequins, they are not a regular part of my style, but when I spyed these sequin boots in two of my signature colour in a floral pattern (both of which are both familiar and authentic) I knew that these would become a favourite item and be a great expression of my authentic style. When what you are wearing is inauthentic, it’s because it’s not a representation of your personality and so it can feel like a costume that belongs to someone else quite different from you or that “it’s just not me”. Wearing outfits or clothes, no matter how much the suit your body or colouring that are inauthentic, will never make you feel great. This is why the people who have had a makeover on a TV show end up back where they were pre-makeover if their personality was not included in the decisions about what they should wear, as someone else’s choices are not their choices and they just don’t feel right in the new look. I’ve also seen this many times with clients who have been shopping with personal stylists who are not trained to understand the impact of personality on choices, they end up with clothes in their wardrobe that they never wear because they are inauthentic. When you do this in a fun way, a way that is authentic to you, this allows you to expand your style horizons and try out different things that may be currently unfamiliar to you. Taking a style challenge (like Evolve Your Style) is a great way to play dress-ups in a slightly structured way so that you get the most value from your experiments and through the program materials you will discover what is just unfamiliar but authentic and what is inauthentic and something you never ever have to wear again should you choose not to. When clothing matches your personality, you appear more confident. When you dress consistently with your personal brand image in mind, you are putting others at ease as they can read who you are, and what you stand for (your values, your personality) and it is a shorthand non-verbal language that communicates this quickly. This was key to Queen Elizabeth’s style and is something you see in many other strong personal brands and why style is not shallow.

Daddy’s little tax exemptions shirt ,hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt

It’s no secret that California is home to some of the best surf in the world, and by extension, some of the coolest surf brands. Daddy’s little tax exemptions shirt OG surf-cum-streetwear label Stussy was born on the state’s coastline, and several decades later and a bit further north, Noon Goons is now putting its own surfing-centric spin on streetwear. The LA-based brand fuses high-fashion, streetwear and surf culture to marvellous effect, creating a range of stylish, slouchy garments that are heavy on the beachy vibes. Think hoodies, graphic tees, oversized flannels and loose-fitting pants with some higher-end pieces sprinkled in, too. For all the hate it gets from the fashion crowd, there’s no denying that Amiri is one of the biggest names in the game when it comes to that rock ‘n’ roll-infused, deliberately dishevelled aesthetic for which LA has become famous. If there is an LA ‘look’, Amiri is one of the key brands behind it. The company’s founder, Mike Amiri, began his career designing stage outfits for legendary rock stars like Axl Rose and Steven Tyler before branching out and starting his namesake label, now in its tenth year. Expect to find streetwear-inspired pieces like logo hoodies and graphic tees alongside heavily distressed denim and luxe leather sneakers. Another label that was central to the longline, layered look that became synonymous with LA style is John Elliott. Founded in 2012, the brand’s eponymous founder drew inspiration from basketball and skate culture, creating a range of menswear that played with silhouettes, proportion and the concept of luxury in sportswear. His clothes played a part in the mainstream adoption of athleisure, turning things like joggers, sweatshirts and hoodies into desirable luxury items rather than straight-up athleticwear. Brain Dead isn’t a clothing brand in the traditional sense of the term. Instead, it describes itself as a worldwide collective of artists and designers that just so happen to make awesome clothes too. There’s a definite streetwear influence, with additional inspiration coming from underground comics, post-punk imagery and more, with heavily graphic-led designs printed on casualwear staples like hoodies, tees and various accessories.
