Fashion is often described as self-expression. In reality, it’s also about discernment.
Knowing what works.
Knowing what doesn’t.
And being honest enough to say it.
Not everything that looks good in a campaign works in real life.
Not every trend deserves to be followed.
And not every “must-have” is actually necessary.
Some pieces are beautiful but impractical. Others are comfortable but forgettable.
And then there are those rare combinations that manage to do both — without trying too hard.
Over the years, I’ve learned to appreciate clothes the same way I approach training:
with curiosity, but also with a critical eye.
I enjoy well-cut jackets that hold their shape.
Shoes that are not designed for convenience, but for presence.
Fabrics that feel good on the skin — and still hold their line.
At the same time, I’ve also learned what doesn’t work for me.
Trends that look interesting for five minutes.
Pieces that demand too much attention.
Outfits that feel like a costume rather than a choice.
Style doesn’t need to be loud to be intentional.
And it doesn’t need to be perfect to be personal.
Some days call for boots and simplicity.
Others leave space for heels, structure, or a detail that makes you smile.
The point is not to get it right every time.
The point is to know why something feels right — or doesn’t.
That kind of clarity doesn’t come from rules. It comes from experience.
And from allowing yourself to be selective, without apology.
