5 Steps To Finding Your Personal Style

Fashion can be bought, style one must possess" mused Edna Woolman. Consider some of the most stylish women in history - Audrey Hepburn, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Coco Chanel, just to name a few - all dressed in a way that wasn't so much about fashion, but rather a very personal interpretation of who they were.

They majored in selecting the colours, cuts, fabrics and shapes which effortlessly celebrated their best features and spirit.

Importantly, they wore pieces that allowed them to shine, rather than the clothing itself. No matter who you are or what you do, developing a great sense of personal style is essential to looking and feeling your best.

Defining Your Personal Style Journey

1. Recognize your colors and know how to combine them

I just wrote a piece about how important it is to wear the colors that are most appealing to your natural coloring. Do yourself a favor and have a professional color analysis done if you don't already have a palette of go-to colors that you know make you look fantastic. It will greatly simplify getting dressed and going shopping.

Knowing how to mix colors and what degree of contrast enhances your appearance are also very crucial. Certain individuals look fantastic in black and white, but others look better in softer combinations, like peach and blue. Investigate and let your best colors convey your own personality and sense of flair.

2. Purchase classic, neutral items.

Investing in classic, timeless pieces in your most appealing neutral colors is one of the finest wardrobe purchases you can make. These pieces never go out of style.

Don't cut corners on excellent pieces that function for both your social and casual wardrobes as well as your business wardrobe. Examples of these pieces are a timeless trench coat, blazer, or shirt.

They can easily last the test of time if you get them in your finest neutrals, and you may wear them again next year with other pieces in your best accent colors.

Spend some time figuring out what neutrals suit you the best (you can get all of this and much more with my Signature Color Palette!).

Audrey Hepburn's preference for black and white complemented her light skin and dark hair. Given that creams and tans accentuate her warm undertone, Nicole Kidman looks stunning in them.

3. Be truthful about the contour of your physique.

With the appropriate attire, anyone with any body type may seem stunning in the mirror. Stop analyzing and fixating on every mistake you perceive.

Show off your likes by dressing in clothes that suit you ideally, rather than focusing on what you dislike. Acquire the skill of evaluating clothing based on how well it fits and highlights your best features. When the clothes don't fit, don't focus on a certain size or assume there's a problem with you; the clothing is the problem, not you!

Find out which materials, styles, and forms work best for your unique silhouette. Clothes that flows and hugs your curves will look great on curvaceous individuals. Straight-line-falling apparel accentuates the straighter body types.

4. Take some imaginative chances.

Have faith in your intuition. Go for it if something makes you feel wonderful and you truly adore it although it's not something you would typically buy.

Start with a tiny item, like a piece of jewelry, and observe how it makes you feel. Trying new things is the only way to truly build and refine your own sense of style, especially if you enjoy it and it feels like you.

Never forget that having a wonderful personal style is exclusive to you! The secret is to be open to trying new things.Take inspiration from people whose styles you like, then add your own unique touch.

5. Use accessories to complete looks

Although it's commonly advised against wearing too much jewelry, the majority of individuals don't wear nearly enough. Adorable accessories and jewelry serve as the unifying factor that transforms disparate items of apparel into a cohesive, fashionable ensemble.

Your unique style is really you whether it comes to the bags, jewelry, scarves, belts, shoes, and even nail color you choose. Let your individuality come through with accessories that accentuate rather than overshadow or overwhelm you.
