In my first few years at work, I always wore sweatpants, sports shoes and sweaters.

My hair style is also limited, or I can go to the barber shop and say to the master, "Just trim it". When I am lazier, I simply buy an electric hair clipper, put on a .6cm suit and cut my hair in front of the mirror at home.

everyone's life is so stressful, why bother?

Until one day I read an article by Yang Lan, and he said,

Yes, many times we judge a person by the first impression.

If we are always together, this evaluation will become an internal observation with the external evaluation;

But when we go to negotiations, speeches, blind dates and interviews, the first impression often affects the other party's decision.

I am an activist, so I began to think, can I try to change myself?

Having solved the problem of why I want to change myself, the next question is, dressing up is a systematic project. How can I learn?

Collect articles about dressing:

I started to pay attention to [Zhihu Daily] in 14 years. You can pay attention to the topic of dressing, so that you can see some inspiring posts every day that are very suitable for us to start.

Record your size:

If some clothes fit you well after you buy them, be sure to record your size.

Because each brand's clothing size is different, so record these, so that you can take them away directly without trying them on when you buy them in the future.

Men like to take it and leave. There is no need to try.

what exactly do you want to change to change a person?

according to my understanding, I need to transform everywhere, so what are there?

you need to set up a framework at the beginning, and understand what you are going to do next and what these changes belong to. For example, according to the appearance, we can divide the image into:

If it is a body shape, we can divide it into: chest, shoulders, back, waist and legs.

where does this knowledge system come from?

Of course, it comes from image-remoulding experts, such as the famous @ Ge Jin @ Du Shaofei in Zhihu.

You can search, and you will find that the list of their articles has systematically told you what the knowledge system of dressing is.

Many friends say that you will start to talk about changing your appearance now that you have plenty of money.

Actually, I didn't. When I had only 1,5 yuan left in my hand every month, I began to try to transform myself, which was roughly divided into the following stages:

Step 1: I am a Uniqlo man

If your disposable income is only 1, yuan or 2, yuan per month, you can try to wear Uniqlo.

their shirts are especially wrinkle-resistant and easy to take care of. The normal price is more than 1. In the discount season, you can start with 79, which is very suitable for the body shape of China people.

jeans with slim pants and wrinkle resistance can be used in khaki pants.

Step 2: I'm a zara discount man.

Uniqlo is suitable for the inside. If you need a small suit and don't have much budget, you can choose one or two small suits at the price of 299-499 during the zara discount season.

there are g2 and selected suits and jackets, which are very common and do not have much fashion elements, but they are suitable for all kinds of things, and can be worn for work and leisure.

Step 3: Try more, and then customize

what to wear in the end. This is the same as looking for a job and being a slash youth. You have to try more to know your figure, skin color, suitable color, clothes and brand.

So, consider shopping as a knowledge management and information collection.

You can try some brands that you can afford.

after this stage, if you have enough money, I recommend you to order two suits.

The reason is very simple. Everything from shirts to western-style trousers fits your size and is very stylish.

and now the price of custom-made suits is also very close to the people.

the total price of my two suits now is less than 8, yuan, which is not high-end, but it is very fashionable to wear.

No matter how much you know, it's useless if you don't try. More importantly, someone can give you timely advice in the process of trying.

this kind is the best one that I can give you advice before you buy.

here I especially meet the man behind me: a city.

when I first met him, it was at a party in Beijing ip camp. I saw that he was dressed very well in the crowd, so I hooked up with him and asked him to give me various suggestions on collocation.

In addition, if there is an opportunity, you can find a group of friends who want to change themselves together.

nothing is more interesting than a group of people sharing their experiences of transformation every day.

Because we all started together, we can learn from each other, and people from all over the world can even help each other with their opinions.

because everyone is poor, they will notify each other when they see a discount on Taobao.

For example, after I changed my shoes into Adidas' small white shoes with green label as suggested by Yicheng, I shared my experience and photos, and then everyone felt great and started.

when I moved from Jiangsu to Shenzhen this time, I sent most of my clothes to my hometown.

Only the following items are left:

6 shirts,

3 suits

5 pants: all Uniqlo have the same model

2 pairs of leather shoes with the same model, 1 black and 1 brown

2 pairs of sports shoes: 1 black and 1 white

1 pair of canvas shoes: converse white

Not too many clothes, several sets on weekdays.

The more you know about image, the more you will know that you don't need to spend so much time and energy.

if it suits you, it doesn't take too much time.

Having said that, if you think it's still too hard to change yourself in three or four months, you can try the following methods to make sure that you don't make mistakes in dressing first.

the best way to reduce the "selection disorder" of what you wear every day is to buy the same, just the same paragraph and different colors.

Zuckerberg said that he never wastes time on what to wear, because his wardrobe is the same from Monday to Friday.

If you are lazy and have a choice obstacle like me, you can try to choose this method on the basic models (shirts, short T-shirts, socks, underwear, etc.).

if you buy a smaller size, it will have the best personal effect. Don't dress in a loose way. If you want to be mentally fit, let your clothes slim first.

Color matching is really a university question. Let's stop fooling around with straight men with cancer.

if you want to reduce the disharmony of your clothes, you can try the simple tricolor principle at the beginning.

that is, don't have more than three main colors on your body, and don't aim to have only one.

if you can't match the colors, you can never go wrong with black, white, gray and blue.

This time in Tokyo, we visited teacher Xie Qianxiao. When she met us, she wore a Issey Miyake coat, which was very elegant and elegant, but she said that it was a little expensive, but it had been worn for 1 years.

later, we did some calculations, and after ten years, we shared it equally, which was similar to the price we spent on buying a bunch of cheap goods every year.

All purchases are less, except for the internal basic models, and the external ones are more expensive (which you can afford), because the texture difference of coats is still obvious.

Psychology often says: Behavior affects mentality.

Luo Zhenyu said that self-discipline brings dignity.

I pay attention to personal image, which is actually a self-discipline of self-image.

I'm very casual at home, but if I want to share at home, I'm sure I'll be as decent as giving a speech outside.

Because although everyone can't see it, everything I do will affect my mentality and play.

Well, as a knowledge worker, this is all I can share about personal image transformation.

it's up to you to act or not.

I'm Peng Xiaoliu. I hope you like today's article.
