Figure Out your Style

Every morning when I opened my wardrobe to dress up, I would be hit with a mix of monochromatic, 90s college style, glam girl, minimalist and every other style under the sky! Figuring out your style has got to be the most difficult task a fashion enthusiast can think of. There are so many trends to dabble in, so many things to experiment with! There are so many things that catch your eye, it is impossible to choose one!

Style is as much about knowing about yourself as it is knowing what you want to portray with your outfits. Once you are sure of what YOU like, other peoples’ opinions don’t matter one bit.

These are a few things that helped me figure out where I wanted my style to go-

  • Find fashion inspiration – check out celebrities, fashion icons and other people who’s overall style and outfits inspire you. You don’t need to embark on this ‘style finding’ journey alone! Browse things on Instagram, Google, Pinterest or anywhere else you can find something you like!
  • Pin it! – don’t forget to save EVERYTHING you like! An outfit, a single piece that inspires you or fits your personality, anything! This way you know where to go when you need inspiration to form an outfit when in need.
  • See which colors attract you the most – color palettes are the most important part of any project! Knowing which colors are your favorite to wear and suit you best will help you identify which style resonates with your personality the most.
  • See what fits your idea of ‘my style’ and what LITERALLY fits you! – always only go for pieces that fit! BOTH your style and your body! It is important to feel comfortable in what you wear, your style is how you portray many characteristics of your personality and so comfort is key.
  • Accentuate your favorite features of yourself – everyone has a feature about themselves that they absolutely love! It is a great idea to incorporate that feature in your style every day. This way you learn to and put yourself in the habit to love yourself even more!
  • Go on a purge through your closet! – attack your closet as soon as you figure out where you want to go with your style. Try on every piece you like and fits your style, donate what you’re not going to use and appreciate again. This way you will make space for your new pieces and make sure you ONLY own what you absolutely love!
  • Always keep your wardrobe decluttered – its easier to choose what to wear when you don’t have an overcrowded closet! You will be able to sift through and wear every item if you don’t have 50 things to choose from. This also makes sure you create less waste and live a more sustainable life in the fashion area.

Lastly, I just want to say DRESS HOWEVER YOU WANT TO, THERE IS NO CORRECT WAY TO STYLE YOURSELF, YOUR STYLE IS WHAT YOU WANT IT TO BE! You don’t have to limit to one, club two together, or three, or however many you like. Be unapologetically YOU!
