GIORGIO ARMANI’S STYLE COMMANDMENTS

1: Learn to recognise clothes that make you feel good
2: Don’t give up quality
3: Don’t completely change your look from head to toe. A new style of jacket or pants or accessory is often enough to update your wardrobe
4: Follow trends with caution
5: When buying a basic item such as a coat or jacket, consider it an investment. Make sure it’s something that will last
6: Buy only pieces that will work back with items already in your closet
7: Base your wardrobe on a colour palette that works together
8: Think of accessories as essentials, not extra pieces
9: Don’t wear too much jewellery. One statement piece is plenty
10: Cultivate simplicity as a style philosophy – as a way of being.
