Merrick White explains why personal style requires trial and error: your body shape and proportions mean generic recommendations don't work. He advises trying clothes on, assessing how they move, and using your existing closet as a reference to build a wardrobe of pieces that actually work for you.
A lot of women don't want to hear this, but it takes trial and error to find what works for you. I can recommend things all the day long, but the reality is that everybody's bodies are slightly different. And so even if you're the same height as me or you wear the same size jeans as me, it's going to fit you differently. I try to do this like general education, like this works with this and this doesn't necessarily work for this, but also based on what you have in your closet, you're going to have to try and see what works for you. You have to try things on. Does it fit? Does it move with my body in a way that feels comfortable. And so that trial and error piece, I think, is an important style tip that people don't necessarily talk about, but I think that that is what's going to lead to a closet full of pieces that you actually love.
