What Does Your Perfect Fit Say About You?
On a personal level, we prefer to be covered—whether it’s jeans or slacks, a knitted sweater or t-shirt, finished with a coat or blazer. We like a bag that works with every outfit and a pair of loafers worn well past their prime, replaced only when they’ve truly had their run. These aren’t just pieces of clothing; they’re an extension of who we are. Each item holds a place in our daily rhythm, offering both function and familiarity.
If we ever stray from this or have to embrace the warmer months, we find ourselves lost and, frankly, a little depressed. It’s not just about the clothes—it’s about what they represent. We like being covered, not just for comfort, but because it gives us a sense of confidence in how we present ourselves. There’s a certain power in knowing your style, in feeling secure within the layers that shape your outward identity. It’s less about hiding and more about feeling anchored in something that feels true.
The warmer months force us to adjust our wardrobe, and that feels like losing a part of who we truly are. Layering and structure play a big role in how we express ourselves, and summer’s simplicity just doesn’t offer the same creative freedom. When the temperature rises and layers are stripped away, it feels like part of our identity is being peeled back too, leaving us exposed in a way that feels unfamiliar and uncomfortable.
People suggest lightweight fabrics to bridge the gap—linen blazers or loosely knotted knits—but they feel oddly performative, almost too transparent, like they lack true character. Maybe it’s because linen wrinkles the moment you take it off the hanger, or because loose cable knits never sit right when you can see straight through to the layer underneath. These materials, while praised for their breathability and ease, often feel like they’re missing something—substance, structure, intention.
But take my interpretation as more of a symbolic outlook than a dig if these items are part of your wardrobe. Linen wrinkles—it feels unreliable, fleeting, dishevelled. See-through knits feel too emotional, unable to stand alone, too open, a little too transparent. For us, clothing isn’t just about the aesthetic; it’s about the message it sends to ourselves and to the world. It’s about consistency, reliability, and authenticity.
But here’s the bigger question: What does your style say about you?
We dive into this and so much more in our one-on-one coaching services. Just like with style, we see people as layered beings—each layer waiting to be peeled open, examined, understood. Leveling up your life is a process that requires a timeless outlook. What pieces can we add to your personal arsenal and routine, things you can pick up every day, that give you the tools to be who you truly are?
Style is more than just clothing—it’s a reflection of your mindset, your habits, your intentions. It’s the daily choices you make, the rituals you uphold, and the way you move through the world. When you look at your wardrobe, do you see yourself? Do you feel aligned with the person staring back at you in the mirror? If not, it might be time to reassess not just your closet, but your entire approach to life.
Join us on a journey of self-discovery, awareness, and purpose in our coaching sessions or business consulting services. Developing, layering, and structuring—that’s our style when it comes to bringing you, or your business, back to its truest form. Because just like the perfect outfit, the perfect life is all about finding what fits.
