Hello everyone!!!, I hope this write up meets you all well and happy and enlightened in a way 😀.
Today I am going to talk about outfits and what we all need to ask ourselves before going for a particular outfit .. Let us get to it.
A cloth in my opinion is any material that is sewn or designed or made or knitted into an outfit that can be worn over a body for some reasons such as;
- To cover our nakedness
- To protect us from extreme weather condition such as from cold during the winter/raining season.
- For identification , for example wearing a particular uniform to identify with a particular, school, religion, bank, organization etc.
- To create an impression.
Fashion on the other hand comes to mind when we talk about "trend" and dressing in some kind of way like a "Fashion Statement" that makes people identify us as "us" like us, more like a signature statement.
There is this popular saying that goes " You are what you wear" another one says "You are addressed by the way you dress" and dressing actually makes a first impression on at a glance so it is important that we pay detailed attention to what we wear especially because we wear clothes everyday of our lives and sometimes twice or more a day. We decide to put on an outfit based on several reasons and so we need to ask ourselves certain questions and today I will be talking about 5 QUESTIONS we should ask ourselves to keep us in the right direction towards picking an outfit. - AM I COMFORTABLE IN THIS OUTFIT? When you measure an outfit, do not forget to measure the amount of comfort you experience wearing the outfit. A lot of times we hear of celebrities and in fact individuals who accidentally get their clothes ripped or torn while trying to change their position or sit and it is very embarrassing, most times it is because of how tight and uncomfortable the out fit is and sometime you do not have fun because you are busy making sure the outfit is positioned well and sometimes you cannot even breath in them. Below are some sample pictures.

- DOES THE OCCASION DEMAND THE OUTFIT?
When talking about the occasion, we talk about the weather ( Summer, winter and spring)

Also right occasion can be corporate outfit for work, suit and ball gowns for dinner and parties, casual for shopping, visiting friends and families etc, pyjamas for sleeping, beach wears etc.

- DO MY ACCESSORIES MATCH THE OUTFIT?
Wearing a cloth goes beyond the clothes and includes the accessories that goes with the cloth as this could ruin the goal you are trying to achieve or make you stand out in the room.
Always endure to do a good combination with the shoes, earrings, wristwatches, purses, pocket fillers, wallets etc.

This is a no no combination for an outfit.
- DOES THE COLOUR COMPLIMENT MY SKIN?
We are created with different skin colours that makes us unique so we need not wear clothes that contrast our skin colour rather we should wear the colour that compliments our skin colour.

Here we are talking about the human body in tandem with the cloth on the body. We should have a full size mirror to take the last glance before we step out. Some clothes do not go with a slim body types and others do not go with a chubby body type (no offense) I am on the chubby size and i know that skirts and gowns fits me better than trousers so I wear more of what fits my body type. Get to know your body type today and find out clothes that goes better with that body it, this will make you more comfortable.

Above all what gives you confidence is how you feel about what you are wearing and not what you are wearing against how you feel. You can wear a thousand dollar cloth and not feel classy but you can also wear a cheap cloth with lots of confidence!!! Make a great cloth choice today and thank me later.😃.
Thank you for reading...till next time..I love you all.
