First, a warning. The style compliment can be hugely overrated. Often times, when you’re looking and feeling your best, you don’t get an obvious reaction. Better to glide through the world effortlessly than looking like an attention addict, desperate for someone to recognize that you did SUCH a good job of dressing yourself. But sometimes you hear something and it feels good. And some compliments are better than others. Moving from left to right, here’s how the reaction of another could/should be interpreted, starting with the not-so-hot to the left, and ending with hot damn(!) on the right. As always, there are exceptions.
