Exercising your creativity can give you a boost in both your personal and professional life, and what better daily practice to do so than with your clothes?
Planning your outfits daily forces you to mix, match and reflect on why something may or may not be working.
Challenges like budget and limited wardrobe can also force you to get more creative.
You might use things in a way they werenāt intended for or look in unusual places to find specific pieces.
Putting together outfits is tough at first but the more you develop your style, the more comfortable youāll become with taking creative risks and trying unusual combinations.
Doing this as a daily routine is a great exercise to stretch your brain and build your creative thinking skills.
Thereās also a 2015 study by Slepian et al. which revealed that formally dressed students exhibited more abstract, big-picture thinking than their casually dressed counterparts.
The researchers found that this was due to the studentsā change in perceived power when wearing nice clothes.
When people feel more powerful, they are more sure of themselves, which in turn makes them more likely to engage in abstract thinking.
Putting together great outfits can be tough at first.
