Whenever I show my personal clients the difference between these two pieces, something just clicks. Our wardrobes are built up of only 2 categories of items - Our glue piece and our personal style pieces. Glue pieces - are there to build harmony and coherence. They match easily with almost everything and blends in with the rest nicely. Most people have fairly similar glue pieces in their wardrobes. You don’t really think about them much when you own them, but you would really miss them if you lost them. The personal style pieces - the items that makes an outfit look like you. Instead of blending in they stand out. These items are the focal point of any outfit, and the more you have on the more you will stand out. Basically, the glue pieces are there to glue together the personal style pieces and create harmony. A look of only personal style pieces can look a bit crazy and an outfit of only glue piece will be slightly dull. Our styles and wardrobes will need different ratios of these two categories. And if you can figure out what is what in your wardrobe and the balance you prefer, you will get a much better idea of your own personal style and how to make your wardrobe work better for you. Do you have more personal style pieces or more glue pieces in your wardrobe?
