People who really really try regarding their appearance personalities are usually fabricated or exaggerated. There are people with great natural style that fits their personalities perfectly, because they don't put alot of effort into it.

you seem really smart OP

Bump for a potentially fruitful thread, although really your question already answers itself succinctly enough OP in that they are inversely proportional. A person with personality and character generally has a more developed aesthetic sensibility than the average person and will have an easier time manifesting his style in fashion. A more developed critical appreciation of clothing would entail further consummation of self in the language of fashion. Disregarding or focusing exclusively on one or the other would lead to a suboptimal life under the current world conditions. Very much the old content dicatates form and vice versa chestnut.

It makes sense, but it doesn't seem to work like that for me, personally.
You see, as a visual artist I spend most of my time thinking about art, making it, honing my aesthetic sensibilities, but the "knowledge" doesn't seem to help me when it comes to dressing myself. I also see amazing artists around me who dress in such an unremarkable way, despite being talented... On the other hand there are the cool kids that you meet in galleries, some "art hoes" even... Their sense of fashion is far more developed, but I've yet to meet a real talented individual between them

A determined fashion-style doesn't necessarily have to be the product of your abilities and views in some occupation alone, even one as comprehensive as visual arts, nor is personality and character limited to this, it's more a manifestation of your way of life in its totality, your ethos. Fashion is certainly a simpler medium of expression in its representation compared to others, so the goal is to align this relative simplicity in clothing to your base values, this results in some parts getting accentuated more than others, e.g. an active person might predominately employ elements of techwear in their wardrobe, an intelligent, eccentric person might prefer turtlenecks and mocknecks to accentuate these traits, a reactive, rebellious person might wear cargo pants daily, etc. Closer acquaintance with the object of fashion (clothing, material) lets you formalise your appearence more coherently and look neater. It's all a language everyone uses and gets apprehended in and it's on you to decide what you want to communicate.

tl;dr rack up some life experience and study fashion
