Fashion Today: What women can learn from menswear

Make a wardrobe mission statement.
For Tong, it's "Wear the clothes; don't let the clothes wear you." I have a friend who coined the phrase "Dressy but messy" to remind herself not to look too "done." And, Sikhounmuong told us he always aims to make his style "thoughtful, but not over thought."

The principle that guides your fashion choices is definitely worth defining. That way, no matter what kind of clothes you wear, they'll always feel like you.
