You don’t need to memorize dozens of colour rules or outfit formulas. A few simple principles can make matching shirts and pants much easier. 1. Busy Top?

You put on an outfit that fits properly, looks put together and feels like you  and suddenly you stand a little straighter. You stop adjusting your clothes every few minutes. You walk into the room thinking less about how you look and more about what you’re actually there to do. So, can what you wear actually change your confidence? Not magically. But it can influence it more than we realise. The Outfit You Don’t Have to Think About Think about two mornings. On the first, your shirt feels too tight, the trousers don’t sit properly and you’re not convinced the colours work together. You leave home, but part of your attention stays on the outfit. On the second, everything fits comfortably. The combination feels right. You look in the mirror once and move on. That second feeling matters. Sometimes dressing confidently isn’t about wea...
