How to Find Your Personal Style

It’s easy to think that caring about or being conscious of the things we wear makes us conceited or superficial. But that couldn’t be any further from the truth. As a trillion-dollar industry (yes, trillion!), fashion is very much alive, kicking, and in the spirit of us all somewhere. Whether you follow trends or not, establishing a sense of style is a very personal, private thing. We can all feel very conscious of what we wear and how we look from time to time, but our sense of style can also bring a lot of power into our lives.

Dressing gives us confidence. It showcases who we are to the world. It allows us to express ourselves. It can act as a suit of armor. And it will always be a creative outlet for us all. Yet, when you haven’t spent enough time trying to define your personal style, you may struggle to relate to the idea of fashion being a positive part of your life.

So in this blog post, we’re going to take a look at how you can curate your own personal style and take pride in how you dress. Let’s get into it.

Understand What You Like

To get things underway, it helps if you know what kind of things you like. This isn’t the same as what you tend to wear on a daily basis – especially if your current wardrobe doesn’t make you feel amazing. It can help here to try on a bunch of different items of varying styles and colors. That way, you can start to get a sense of what kind of things you really like on yourself.

Know What Makes You Feel Confident

Next, you need to make sure that you know what things tend to make you feel most confident when you wear them. It could be a classic fitted white shirt, quality Indy boots, or a well-tailored suit. The actual item of clothing isn’t the focal point here, it’s knowing that wearing a certain thing is what makes you feel confident. Dressing for confidence is always something to aim for.

Focus on Shapes That Fit You Well

Alongside that, something that you may not immediately think of but can make a world of difference is the shapes that you tend to wear. When you begin to dress for your body type, you’ll also feel a lot more confident. Choosing clothing and shoes that fit you well will flatter your body more. This can then make you feel so much better in the pieces you choose to wear.

Build Your Wardrobe Out Slowly

Finally, you’re going to want to make sure that you’re able to build out your wardrobe slowly. It’s easy to want to buy a bunch of pieces at once, so that you have something to wear. But your wardrobe has to work together. So start by getting some basics – pants, shirts and jumpers, or jackets, and slowly add to them over time. That way, you’ll be able to build outfits that you can turn to again and again, rather than be stuck with separate pieces you struggle to wear at all.
