Now, in their defense if you are a "good" friend you should let a Sista know, that shirt she has on cannot and does not pass for a dress. Or you should tell her that you can see her polka dot panties through her transparent pair of leggins. Hopefully you Brothas are telling your homeboys that they can't get in the club with jeans hanging off their ass and that 2xl's that reach their knees are no longer "in". Okay, now that we're sure we've done our part, what happens when that friend just doesn't get it?
There's something to be said about growth. Like really, we all get older in age, maybe grow some facial hair, get taller, sometimes a little wider (hey just being honest) but at the end of the day growth really should equate to maturity. Now, I'm not saying that getting older means you have to loose your edge, style or better yet your identity. I'm not saying you need to conform to what society implies you should look like at any given edge, BUT as an adult you should have the ability to judge what is appropriate to wear and what is just flat out wrong for the occasion.
So to the gym shoe lover and fitted cap connisouer , it's really great that you own every pair of shoes that has Jordan's name embroidered on it but you better also have some casual and dress shoes that you can wear to church, on an interview or on a date!
To the Love and Hip Hop, RHOA lover that wears 6 inch heels to the grocery store, cut-out jeans to meet your man's mother and low cut blouses with the boobs riding high at your kid's bball game think about what message you're projecting to the world about yourself.
You could be the exact opposite of what people perceive you as but we don't always get the chance to stun people with our vocabulary or tell them what we do for a living or the fact that we're raising honor roll students...all people see are those baggy jeans and those booty shorts. There's a time and a place for everything. You don't have to dismiss these items from your closet but have the ability to switch the game up. Having a versitle wardrobe sets you up for success because you're always prepared no matter what the event.

Check Charles out and follow him on IG @chargercharles. He has his own personal style that translates across different occasions.
"I feel like that's the definition of style, expressing your presence." - Charles
Charles first takes color into consideration when building his fits and then it's all about the details!
From bow ties down to the stitching on his pants, his attention to detail is impeccable and essential to pulling off his look. Too many people think brands make the clothes, but that's plain crazy talk. You can get a similar look from places like Zara, Top Shop, Urban Outfitters and Express. Comfort and confidence comes with the territory when you look good you feel good and there's nothing anyone can say to make you feel different.
