Everyone has equal right to look
beautiful. Because your looks, your style gives you confidence which
helps in your personality building. Fashion and style is a means of
self-expression, actually it enables us to say something important to
the world about who we are, or who we'd like to be. As per a famous
quote "Style is a way of saying who you are without saying
anything".
The way we dress up or carry ourselves
actually reveals our inner personality. A respectable appearance is
enough to make people know about you. Our dressing effects even to
people we don't talk with directly. In short words it’s our
identification of our personality and for sure our first expression.
