How Social Anxiety Can Impact Your Style

Beecroft suggests having a mood board for various emotions and feelings, as well as a lineup of looks and style inspiration: “Have go-to outfits that you feel most comfortable in ready to go.” This might mean trying your clothes on and identifying what you love about seeing yourself in a ‘fit. “If you want to try a new outfit out, plan in advance,” Beecroft adds. Stylist Susanna Merrick echoes this: “Have safe choices in your wardrobe that make you feel good because you’re not always going to feel like putting yourself out there every day.” Chandra says she keeps an arsenal of emergency looks. “It’s the outfit you do not even need to THINK about, try on, second-guess, etc… For me, that usually comes in the form of a high-waisted, loose trouser with fun texture, a tiny baby tee, and a long leather jacket. It’s the foolproof ‘IDGAF about what y’all think of me’ look.”
