Singer Paloma Faith chooses her stage outfits depending on whether they give her confidence. She says her clothes are like an "armour".
She says getting dressed for a show gives her extra "confidence" for her performance.
"Fashion should be fun and empowering. It gives me confidence, it's like armour for me. I love getting dressed up before a show - psychologically it's really powerful," contactmusic.com quoted Faith as saying.
Whenever she makes a an "odd fashion faux pas", she said: "I forgive myself".
The 32-year-old also adviced: "Don't put pressure on yourself to fit into certain clothes. Embrace who you are. Everything is a celebration of individuality now . I'm excited by it - it's my time."
