What is your style?
Finding the right style that fits your body and personality is something you never think about and no one ever really teaches you, unless you’re in the fashion world or take an interest in this sort of thing.
The first thing to do is know what makes you feel comfortable.
What clothes make you feel your best self and think about why they make you feel good and what they all have in common. Now the next thing is, be honest with yourself.
Do these clothes or this style do you justice and accentuate your favorite features? You want to always look your best self and always look sharp and like you have it all going on.
Because honey, style is forever. First impressions matter, even if they are unspoken and you’re passing someone on the street. Psychologically, your clothes say more about you than you know.
Here are some key tips to discovering your style:
Look at your own closet first. What makes you happy and what are your favorite pieces? Also, clean out whatever clothes don’t make you feel great!
Find your fashion icons and create an inspiration board. No, not just on Pinterest, but this helps! Take screenshots of styles you like, create an album of the kind of wardrobe you want to have.
Look at the commonalities of the pieces that consistently catch your eye. Maybe you like the leather jacket, a t-shirt, skirt, and booties look? Notice what grabs your attention and play on that, this will become your “staple look.”
Create a capsule wardrobe (clothes that you can mix and match with so many styles). This is a new concept in the last 10 years that plays in everyone’s favor. These are basics that can be mixed and matched with almost every piece in your closet, even the most daring of choices! Think about it like this, a light and dark wash pair of jeans, black jeans, a white, black, and gray blouse, black pumps, flats, nude bag, these colors, and styles can be mixed and matched with almost anything. (There’s a little help in case you’re building a capsule wardrobe right now).
Pick a color palette. Know what looks right on your skin, and trust me, you’ll know. If you have yellow undertones, lighter colors with the same yellow undertones will wash you out.
Dress according to your lifestyle. Are you a woman who is always “on the go”? Then pick clothes that are going to be easy for you to change into or decide what to wear at a moment's notice.
Try taking a style quiz, like this one: visual-therapy.com/blog/style-type-quiz/. This helps to give you a better idea of what you like and a visual of what that is.
Work on self-love. No matter how much work you do on the outside, if you are not feeling your best self on the inside, the work is not going to matter. Confidence comes from within, and that is something that looks great on everybody!
So remember this, you first need to feel comfortable in your skin and know what you like. The right style will come to you, but go out there and look for it. Look for the styles that make you want to dress like that, that make you want to look better and feel better. Because no matter the money you spend on clothes, no matter the trends you wear, it starts inside of you, that’s your true style.
