“Your personal style is an extension of who you are, but don’t go overboard and let what you’re wearing take center stage and drown you out.”

First impressions matter, but not for the reasons many people think. They are not about impressing other people or performing a version of yourself that feels unfamiliar. They are about creating congruence between who you are, how you want to be perceived and what you communicate before you've said a single word.
Style isn't about clothes. It's about reducing the gap between how you feel on the inside and how you present yourself to the outside world. When those two things are aligned, confidence feels less like something you have to perform and more like a natural extension of who you already are.
