Welcome to the Style week. This is typically a favorite here as it affords the opportunity for self-expression. Put another way, it is a way to fake it until you make it.

Like hygiene, good style can work for you without you opening your mouth. As such, it helps to form the first-first impression people have of you. We have different styles of clothes because it makes a statement about who you are, what you are doing right now, and maybe what you do most of the time. Psychologists have done a ton of research on this area, with the sort of results you might expect: people react differently to the same behavior depending on how the actor is dressed. Clothes make the man.

So your challenge is not only to upgrade your wardrobe to nice-looking and well-fitting pieces (see prior year style guides for help here), but also to leverage the psychology of clothing to your advantage. Think for a moment about James Bond. Bond going to the casino? Impeccable tuxedo. Bond heading to the beach or going boating somewhere hot? Linen shirt and trousers with Topsiders. Bond infiltrating Apple headquarters to get dirt on Steve Jobs? Black turtle neck. Oh, well that's awkward.

You get the picture, right? Don't copy Bond style-wise, take a clue from him about controlling people's perception of you and what you're about by how you dress. You don't always have to wear jeans and a tight t-shirt with a badass leather jacket. There is a time and place for nearly any outfit; discover those pairings.

Declare any goals here and continue to track (with progress toward prior week goals too) in the upcoming OYS. Should you be captured we will disavow all knowledge of your wardrobe. Good luck.
