Is your style cool? What about you?
This week in our series on fashion we hear an alternative opinion from young style guru Tony Rooney. So if you want to be top dog in the fashion stakes, if you want everyone to admire you for setting the trend ... then read on.
setting the trend ... then read on.
Heres what you should do. Firstly, being cool is all in the mind. Just think cool and you are cool. Confidence in yourself and your own style is very important. The actual style you choose doesnt matter at all, so why should you be a sheep and follow what other people do?
Take hair, for example. Is short hair fashionable? That doesnt mean that you cant have long hair. Im talking about girls and boys. Be different! Parents sometimes say, You have to get your hair cut, but do they have a good reason? They probably want you to look like everyone else. Similarly, if long hair was in vogue, you could go for a new look and cut yours short.
The second rule is this: dont worry what other people think. How do they know whats best for you? If everyone was wearing polo tops, would you jump on the bandwagon? You dont have to. If you want to wear a T-shirt instead, you can. Eventually theyd start wearing T-shirts too, and then it would be time for you to change again.
That brings us to rule number three: keep one step ahead of the crowd. Thats when you know that everyone is following your fashion and youre not following theirs. Now that is really cool.
