The Confidence Loop

Style and confidence feed each other. When you wear something that fits and flatters, you stand a little taller. That posture makes the outfit look even better, which makes you feel better still. This is not wishful thinking.

The loop usually starts small. You put on a jacket that fits just right, a stranger glances twice, and you straighten up without thinking. That straighter posture makes the jacket look sharper, so the next compliment comes easier. One good moment quietly sets up the next.
