I know we’re not designers here.
But this question lingers in my head for many years…
Should I wear what I like?
Or what suits me best?
For example dresses looks good on me, but I literally hate the feeling they give to me while I wear it.
If you have your style, when and how you found it? 
Comfort matters a lot to me. Quality of material.
I agree a lot.
feeling comfortable is very important.
I noticed that I feel best in bigger than my size clothes 
If you dislike how a garment feels you should perhaps wear what you really like instead.
Confidence is so important and comfort too and maybe with you since we are all a little mental… maybe with you it’ll be a virtuous cycle upward!!
On a personal note, I shop Nordstrom at times(luxury) because I like their buyers’ taste.
I like their curations.
I’d be curious how @Moon would advise since they are comfortable with intrinsicly offering the world a bit of their flare!!!
My style rule is wear what I’m drawn to. 
You definitely should wear what you feel most comfortable in
I really LOVE @Moon s style it is so beautiful
Yes I appreciate bold and confident people across the board. You’ve got it too in your own right!
Thankyou kind person of the forum.
You are pretty bold too… In the way you communicate
I might have flown too close to the sun with wax wings on this thread.
Apologies @Moon if you felt like it was attention in a bad way(felt singled out)
Caffeine is the problem again. It’s something my Dad and I have in common though… : /
I’m a seamstress and fashion designer by occupation! I went to school for 4 years to learn fashion design.
as for the question, should you wear what you like:
Yes. a 100% yes.
if you feel comfortable in your clothing, it shows.
there are some “rules” of what suits different body types, colours that suit your skin tone etc
but I find clothing just an adventure.
I have always had a very personal way to dress… I was a goth girl for a long time, but now I wear pretty much whatever I want. I know my body type and what looks good on me, what to avoid.
I’m a curvy girl but I wear short shorts and short skirts, if I want to. my style is my style and no-one can tell me what to wear.
I create some of my clothing myself so I get exactly what I want.
but if I feel bad in something I won’t wear it.
for me clothing is a very important way to express myself and I put on a different outfit every day, even if I’m going to just stay at home.
I think everybody should be able to wear whatever they want. but it takes courage to do so. and I understand it is not easy. for me it has been just a very important part of my personality. I often get compliments on my clothing by strangers.
I appreciate all the kinds words!
For me I like to thrift and find clothes I like that also are comfortable. I shop a lot though, and rarely actually find much.
I just sort of do my own thing when it comes to clothing. I wear a lot of workwear brands like Ben Davis and Dickies. I call my style “cholo/punk/dad.” 
Just wear whatever you feel comfortable with and your confidence will show.
And ignore fast fashion.
@Moon My thrift shop has been pretty dry lately too. Hopefully more donations will come through in Fall and Winter.
I like to be comfortable for sure. I also like being excited to wear an outfit. It was always jeans(Levi’s) and t shirt, hoodie in the winter. I recently discovered Jean cut pants with some color so browns tans greens. I’ll now wear those or jeans. I also prefer kinda casual shoes. I wear these all the time. I like brown or grey shoes.
Definitely wear what you’re happiest in. Style is completely subjective and made up. I mean, I try to find a medium ground and appear presentable but comfort is paramount.
