Introduction

There is no denying this conviction that our personality thrives primarily on our dressing sense. Other traits like communication skills so matter, but the kind of clothes we wear helps us to mark a good impression on others.

Although I know many people who dress well, one of them is special and hence she is worth mentioning.

Who is this person? And How do you know her?

She is my next-door neighbour and my classmate too. Her name is Rimple Sharma. Ten years back, she shifted to our township. We first met at the park while we both were having a walk and since that day we have been bosom friends.

What kind of dresses does she wear?

She is a fashionista who always does things beyond the conventional domain while choosing her attire.

She has unique dresses for all occasions. For example, although she is a north Indian, on the occasion of the Pongal festival, she wore a saree in the south Indian style, which enhanced her personality.

She never shies from doing experimentation. In one of the competitions where international fashion was the theme, she wore a Thai dress and carried it well. Due to her spectacular performance on the ramp, she won the first prize.

During children’s day, she didn’t shy from wearing the school uniform despite being a college student. The whole day she roamed here and there in that dress, and everybody appreciated her courage.

She has worn different dresses from Asian and European countries. Her next plan is to wear the outfits of African nations. I am damn sure that she will achieve her aim, and I staunchly believe that she will become a supermodel soon.

Introduction

There is no denying this conviction that a man is judged by his clothes. Moreover, clothing is the best attribute to make people notice you.

Who is this person?

My English teacher Andrew Waugh possesses a sophisticated dressing sense.

What kind of dresses does he wear?

Personality thrives primarily on good dressing sense. A good dress-up empowers you to make a good impression in front of others. People usually have this habit of ignoring individuals with improper or awful clothing. So, maintaining a good status in society and carrying a good dressing sense is prudent.

Mr Waugh teaches the English language at my college, and I have never seen him in casual clothing. Even when I occasionally meet him at his residence for some instructions on an essay and letter writing, I find him in formal wardrobes. Once, I haphazardly asked him about formal attire, and he replied that he is very particular with his dresses, and formal wear appeals to him every time except when he hits the bed.

Mr Waugh generally comes out in formal suits. He has a huge collection of suits, and they are of divergent colours. The leather shoes he wears always form a lethal combination with his dress. Moreover, his colour combination is also unique and different. s. For instance, when he wears his black suit, he wears a formal black shirt with a lemon colour tie.

And How do you know him?

He is not only my English teacher but my next-door neighbour too. Every evening we go for a walk together.

What kind of dresses does she wear?

Her speciality is fusion. She is a fashionista who can create a petite dress from any piece of cloth.

Not only she creates good dresses, but she also carries them well. Rather than hiring any celebrity for her boutique, she manages all the promotions herself, and in all the advertisements, she showcases herself.

She looks the best when she wears traditional attire. During festival times, she goes with the theme. For North Indian festivals like Diwali, she wears Lehnga, and for South Indian festivals like Onam and Pongal, she wears a saree.

Due to her charming personality and dressing style, the budding models have become big fans of hers, and they usually meet her for advice related to beauty pageants and talent hunt shows.
