I believe Fashion sense is basically the knowledge of how to dress fashionably. It is the ability to choose the right dress according to one’s body type and complexion keeping in mind the season and the occasion one would be attending. For instance, you can’t be putting on a thick clothes during the summer season because of how hot everywhere would be at that particular point in time.

Fashion sense also means knowing that your appearance is everything, knowing what suits you well and how you can be at your best even with what you have. Personally, I’m not currently where I wish to be, in the aspect of finance, so I’m unable to get some fancy clothes for myself. Despite that , I still try to be stylish with what I have thereby bringing out the best out of what I have.

In context, You don’t necessary need to have a whole lot of money before you can be fashionable.

It's no secret that how you dress affects how people see you and how they treat you. Thanks to my mother, who repeatedly drilled that into my psyche, I have been thinking about that quote ever since high school. So much so that I now pay close attention to everything I wear, from the top of my head to the soles of my feet, whenever I need to go somewhere or obtain something.

There is evidence to support the idea that what you wear affects more than just how people view you; it also has an impact on how you perceive yourself and how you carry out your many tasks. The phrase "enclothed cognition" was actually created by this research to describe the systemic impact that certain clothing has on the wearer's psychological functions.

For instance, when you want to do your chores at home. You are more likely to put on something casual, so you’ll be able to do the cleaning very well.

The notion that the clothes you wear can affect the way you feel and behave means that decisions on workplace attire should not be taken lightly. For employers, enforcing the wrong dress code could impact productivity, motivation, and staff morale.

The types of clothing that I feel comfortable wearing

In essence, I don't really have a favorite type of apparel. I'm okay with anything as long as it suits my body type, my complexion, and the season at that particular time.
But given how hot it is right now, I would rather wear a plain t-shirt on a typical day.

The clothes I will never wear!

There are some clothes I can’t even imagine myself wearing; one of them is a pair of ripped jeans! Like, how would I put on something that is literally torn? Just like my mom instilled in me while I was growing up, she will always tell me to dress like a king at all times. So I would ask myself, "Would a king dress like this?" If yes, then I would go on, but if not, I would rather change my clothes than go out like that.

Now, the clothes I’m longing To wear

I’m the type of guy who loves to dress up, due to the type of upbringing I got from my parents. So, I found myself putting on more suits just like the picture below.

So if there is any type of clothing that I’m longing to wear, it would be a three-piece suit or a breasted suit.

I’m also a corporate shirt type of guy—so much so that I wear mostly corporate shirts rather than round necks. Also, Putting on a corporate shirt has helped my confidence in dealing with people around me.

The only reason I'm currently unable to wear the type of clothing I listed above is due to insufficient funds. That’s why I try to hustle more so I can afford the clothing I desire.
