It’s Ok If Your Style Isn’t for Everyone
Your Style is For You — and that’s all that matters!
When it comes to style, just like almost everything else, everyone has an opinion. Your dress should be longer. Your dress should be shorter. Your shirt needs to be more plain. Your shirt is too colorful. Those shoes don’t go with that outfit. That outfit doesn’t go with those shoes.
It can be very frustrating when people comment about your outfits. Although the comments are wanted and weren’t asked for, people make them anyway, regardless of how the comment is received.
Some people gave in to the critics and tried to adjust their style. I’m not a people-pleaser (at least not anymore), and my closet needs my attention, not everyone else’s opinions.
Here are some more thoughts on style:
It’s perfectly normal and acceptable for not everyone to appreciate your style. Fashion and aesthetics are inherently subjective, shaped by individual experiences, cultural backgrounds, and personal preferences. What appeals to one person may not resonate with another, and that’s okay.
Your style is an expression of your unique personality and identity. It reflects your tastes, values, and creativity. Trying to please everyone would likely result in a watered-down version of yourself that needs more authenticity.
