Recently
while reading an old edition of Elle magazine (one of the few things I love
doing while sipping coffee) I stumbled upon an interview on one of my favourite
designers – Thakoon Panichgul.
In
the interview, Thakoon described ‘Glamour’ as having the confidence to wear
casual yet intricate, cerebral designs…”which got me thinking; what defines
casual in relation with glamour – I mean, how do you look glamourous at the
same time simple, classy and casual to no point of looking mundane?
I’ve
always been of the opinion (which I’ve found is true) that not everyone that
says casual or even classy really means it ‘your’ way. In other words, the
saying “one man’s meat is another man’s poison” fits appropriate. But in this
contest one man/woman’s ‘Class’, ‘Sophistication’, ‘Casual’ is another man’s ‘Tacky’,
‘Trashy’, or even ‘Trendy’.

So
how do we all come to terms with thoughts and sense of individual reasoning ---
in fashion that is?
The
Question: How do you become sure that that person’s idea of being/looking
classy, casual, chic is yours?
