- Some people won’t like the fact that you have upgraded your style, but that is a reflection on their problems, not yours

5 Ways to Level Up Your Style Without Shocking Your Friends
- Step up key clothing pieces, one piece at a time. Look at what you’re wearing right now, and ask yourself what key item you could upgrade that would level up your entire outfit without being a drastic change
- Upgrade your accessories. If you don’t wear a watch, maybe start. If you do, look into a way to upgrade it. Same with other accessories
- Start wearing a fragrance, used in moderation, instead of just deodorant. Think of it as an “invisible style accessory.”
- Upgrade your shoes. Look into dress boots, maybe rugged. Just look into small steps that will upgrade your style without making a huge splash in your overall look
- Get everything, including the clothes you already have, tailored to fit you personally

Understand that most people are focused on themselves, which frees you up to do whatever you want, and upgrade your style in whatever ways you want, without worrying about other people’s opinions.
