Why Image Matters

By Rebecca Z. Smith

Welcome to REAL style, a fashion focused section of REAL Magazine where we explore the world of style and fashion. What is REAL style? It is the triumph of individual style. It represents the unique you.  It’s about presenting all the best of your personality and lifestyle. It shows the world who you are through highly individualized clothing, jewelry, cosmetic and where-you-live choices. Whether you are a man or woman who loves fashion or just needing style or image advice, my goal is to provide information, stories and photos relating to fashion, style and image to assist in the discovery of your REAL style.

Image matters, it speaks volumes. Why does image matter? First impressions are made in an instant. Whether positive or negative, they are strong and long lasting. You get one chance to make a first impression, so it is important to make it a great impression. From the moment you walk into a room people will quickly form opinions about your character and abilities based solely on the image you project. For example, your grooming, your wardrobe and your poise lead people to judge you as: diligent or lazy, confident or insecure, successful or worth knowing or not.

Fashions fade, REAL style is eternal and primarily a matter of instinct.  The difference between REAL style and fashion is quality. Fashion is what you adopt when you don’t know who you are. How you think of yourself and what you want others to think of you is reflected by the way you act and dress. Of all the signals you send out to others, the strongest indicator of who you are, who you think you are, and who you want to be is through clothing. This becomes your image. There is a direct correlation between how you dress and how you feel about yourself. When you look good and are appropriately dressed your confidence soars. When you feel good about yourself, it shows in your attitude, your energy level, and your quality of life.

To discover your REAL style you must first understand your image. What do the clothes in your closet say about you? How would you like to open your closet and have everything in it match your fashion personality, your lifestyle, and your body type? Taking a long, critical look at what you have in your closet is the first step to understanding your image. Take everything out of your closet and try it on; check for fit, suitability, design, and color. 

REAL style challenges you to look pulled together every day. Making REAL style a part of your everyday life will give you the confidence to go out there looking your best. get REAL with your own personal style, a style that best represents the unique you!
