The Relationship Between Personality and Fashion Style

We have our individual styles when it comes to fashion. It’s a way for us to express our mood, preferences or simply our personality. Am I right? There are people who prefer the combination of black and white while for others it may mean shades of blue. There are also those who attribute happiness with wearing bright and colorful clothes. How about you? How do you choose your outfit for the day?

The process of mixing and matching is easier for those who feel at home doing this because they can make use of old clothes and still manage to look good. Let’s admit it, not all of us have a good sense of style. But, for those who are not so good at it like me, a good remedy is to buy clothes that already look good even without putting on extra layers. Do you agree?

high-contrast and eye-popping colors such as orange, hot pink, and cobalt blue, among others, the company stays true to its bold personality, and caters to the increased demand for colorful
entrepreneurs and self-starters that see it as a way to express their empowering values into the world. Entrepreneur extraordinaire Sinead Norenius, who co-founded Beautisol (http://www.beautisol.com), explains: “Since I am originally from South Africa, the Nelson Mandela quote not only inspires me as a person but also as an entrepreneur. It’s more than a t-shirt for me, it’s the message I want to portray.”

“With the world being in a state of flux in so many ways, people are soul-searching deeper within to realize what matters, and quotes represent the best of our collective consciousness. They are short & sweet, and uplift us instantly,” explains co-founder Chamsi Filali. Given the universal appeal, it is not surprising Quote Couture’s Facebook fan page grew tenfold, from 250 to over 2800 fans, in just a few weeks.

Besides inspiring people, the fashion brand also aims to “be the change it wants to see in the world” (a Gandhi quote also available in the current collection). All purchases contribute to empowering low-income African entrepreneurs via microloans made through Team Africa on Kiva.org. Chamsi Filali started the team, and its members (which include Quote Couture) have collectively made over 1,000 loans: http://www.kiva.org/team/africa.
