🌎 How to deal with other people's opinions about your appearance

In this text, I will talk about the best way to deal with other people's opinions about your appearance and how this impacts your personal style.

I am Nycka Nunes, a visual artist and personal style consultant. I have worked in the fashion industry since 1981. I am the most experienced style consultant in Brazil and one of the most experienced in the world in this field. I work with personal image as a nonverbal communication tool.

Personal image is a nonverbal communication tool. You can read other texts of mine explaining this better. 

Those who say that you have to completely ignore other people's opinions about your appearance are wrong, and they act this way because of a fixed mindset that refuses to learn from experiences. Or they have very low self-esteem and want yours to be equally low, so they don't encourage you to improve.

Other people's opinions and how you feel about each of them say a lot about you and what is important to you. Please note carefully that I said how you “feel” each of them, not how you react to them. Pretending that you don’t care about your boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife’s opinion is pathetic, because if you chose this person as your partner, you do care about their opinion of you. Likewise, there are other people whose opinions about your appearance are relevant. And you realize this when someone’s opinion affects you. If you read my post about how to choose the color of your shirt, for example, and feel like you’re doing something wrong, it’s because my opinion is relevant and you recognize my expertise. It doesn’t matter if you express what you felt or not. It doesn’t matter if you react or not. Self-knowledge to identify these clues that your emotions give is important to know when your brain and heart are asking for changes and qualified professional guidance.

Therefore, personal style necessarily requires a dose of self-knowledge and emotional maturity. Emotionally immature people don’t accept the signs that their own body sends that they need to improve. And people without self-knowledge don’t understand these signs. You can choose to ignore this and think anything is style, or you can understand that my standards are high and there is certainly a hierarchy when it comes to personal style, which is expressed by your choices regarding appearance, and my standards are at the top of the pyramid. To learn more about the hierarchy of style, check out this scene from the movie “The Devil Wears Prada.”

Do you deserve to be at the top of the style pyramid? If so, read the “Commitments” page and then see the sidebar for how to hire my services. I serve people from all over the world.
