Clothing can make someone look thinner or heavier. It can also be a confidence builder or a self esteem destroyer. When someone tells me they hate wearing a piece of clothing, 99% of the time it is the fit and/or feel of the garment that’s the problem.

How fabric feels against your skin is the main source of whether you feel comfortable or not in your clothes. Most of the time, unless you are allergic to wool or cotton, natural fabric will feel best.

Acrylic fabrics are problematic. They sometimes itch and definitely do not breathe. Polyester has come a long way especially if it’s blended with a natural fabric.

Following are three tips to ensure any piece of clothing you wear will boost your well being especially during a major personal or professional event.

1. It must be appropriate for the occasion.
2. It must feel comfortable (At the Golden Globes you could spot the folks who did not feel right in their outfits – they looked uncomfortable).
3. It must fit. If the apparel is too big or too snug it will not feel natural.

You clothing must showcase you. When it does, you will feel confident in all situations. In fact, you will feel like a star.
