Pet peeve: style != fashion Style can't really be captured in simple rules, but is easy to recognize. You know when you see a stylish person, even if you can't put your finger on why that is. Fashion is a vehicle to sell you more crap. It's a maze of ever-changing rules that you're supposed to navigate or risk a fashion faux-pas. If the advice comes in the form of rules like "always leave the bottom button of a waistcoat undone", run away. If it's more like,"an off the shoulder design is more flattering for larger sizes", pay attention. But also: you can wear whatever you want. The difference between a faux-pas and a bold fashion statement is confidence and (sadly) attractiveness of the wearer. So wear what makes you feel good/confident. That's your best investment.
