Outfit of the day or portrait of the soul?


In teenage years, especially, it’s very common to find new styles and different ways to express yourself. Some people, because they are different from the “normal,” end up being called “weird.” On the other hand, those who dress in a more normal way are sometimes seen as “boring.”


This contradiction shows that fashion can be a way of freedom, but also a reason for judgment. For many young people, finding their own style is more than choosing clothes — it’s about discovering and expressing who they are. In this process, they face looks and comments that try to dictate what is “right” or “okay” to wear.

What does your style say about you?


Clothes are more than appearance; they show who you are, and how you want people to see you. Style can be a silent language — sometimes one simple outfit says more about who you are than words can explain. Many times, this shows in your mood, emotions, and attitude — when nothing is going well, and your creative outfit also doesn’t feel right.

That’s when the idea of allowing yourself comes in: try new combinations without fear. The first step should come from you — to be free and wear your true self or try to fit into impossible standards.


We live in a time where being different is supported — but only to a point (as long as other people still like it). This should not happen. Social media brings new trends every week, and by trying to follow them all, many people forget who they really are.

Conclusion:



In the end, is your style just a copy of what everyone is wearing, or does it really say something about you? Showing who you are and being accepted can go together, but they can also diverge. It’s your choice what matters more to you. The answer? It starts inside, not in the closet. Before following any trend, you need to listen to yourself. It’s okay to change, to try, or even to make mistakes — the important thing is that each choice comes from you.


The best style is the one that represents you.
