Introduction
Fashion is everywhere, and there is no denying that. It does no matter whether you live in jeans and t-shirts, designer tracksuits, or yoga leggings, you are still wearing fashion.
“Andrea, Runway is a fashion magazine, so interest in fashion is crucial”.
Emily: The Devil Wears Prada 2006
The Devil Wears Prada is one of my favorite movies. It sends out the message that fashion should be respected, no matter what side of the fence you sit on. It also shows viewers that, “we live our lives through fashion, even if some people do not want to admit it. You cannot have a conversation about fashion and personal style without bringing up that movie.
The movie also explains that you can have a style that fits you without having to look like a model. We do not all have to dress as we came off the runway in Paris. You can find something that suits your body types and more.
Some people want to find a new look to get out of the rut they find themselves in right now.
You know how that goes, right? You look through your closet and find that you are wearing the same thing regularly. You have nothing to wear because you have worn everything, sometimes more than twice.
That is why we are here today. We are hoping to help you find a look and style that defines you beyond what you already wear.
Three Tips On Finding The Devil Wears Prade In You
1) Look at who you admire in the fashion world. I love and adore Madonna, as do so many others who grew up with her. You cannot talk about fashion without mentioning Madonna. She is someone who has single-handily redefined how women look at what they wore for the last 37 years. She has also inspired men(especially gay men).
Now, Madonna might not be your cup of tea. You might like someone else. The point is, you should look at who you admire and take inspiration from that person.
2) Remember that it is all about the shoes. Shoes will define and redefine any look. Go through your closet and see if the shoes you have are still part of your style. You need to find some new ones if any of your current pairs of shoes are not. I am not suggesting you max out your credit cars. Buy a new pair or two and see what you think.
Shoes make the outfit. Shoes have to be part of the conversation when you talk about your style. Remember to include designer sneakers if you are going for that casual hip-hop look(I am looking at you Missy Elliot) or the laid-back fitness guru look. No matter what you wear, you always try to send a good first impression.

3) The odd piece should go. There is always some odd-ball piece hanging in the closet. You know, the one that does not fit in with everything else you have, but you still hold onto it for some unknown reason.
Do yourself a favor and get rid of it. Give it someone who can use it. You know, the one person you know where the clothing makes sense hanging in their closet, not yours.
Conclusion
To find your style you have to wear what looks good on you and feels comfortable. That is a good rule of thumb for whether you are just starting to find your style or if you are redefining your style into something more modern, more you.
