FIND YOUR PERSONAL STYLE

Finding (and refining) personal style can be a struggle; we’re the first to admit it. We’ve all been there at least once, if not multiple times, as we gaze into our closet full of clothes and need something for the post-graduation to professional transition (so, platform sandals don’t work in office?), landing the big promotion we’ve worked so hard for, or dressing after having a baby (suddenly all those dry clean only silk blouses aren’t so practical). 

Regardless of what life throws at us, it’s important to be able to adapt while still maintaining a style that is all our own.

The big question stares at us. How do I find my personal style then? 

START FROM WHERE YOU ARE

You may have developed your own style without even knowing it. Take a closer look at what kinds of clothes you already own.

         

Assess your wardrobe.

 Look in your closet and drawers and take note of the kinds of clothes you have already purchased for yourself. You will probably see some patterns of your buying behavior.

·         Are most of your clothes casual?

·         Is there a predominant color?

·         Are all the skirts and dresses ankle length if you like it?

·         Are most of your clothes made from synthetic fabrics or natural fabrics?

·         Do you have 15 pairs of slacks and 1 skirt?

Pull your absolute favorite clothes out of the closet and line them up on your bed. 

Only pick clothes that you love and could never part with.

       

Look at each outfit you have chosen and ask yourself why you love it.

·         Is it comfortable?

·         Does it make you feel sexy? Powerful? Fun?

·         Think about how you feel every time you wear each of your favorite outfits. Is there a common denominator?

Decide if you wear clothes to impress others or to feel good while you are wearing them. Do you lean towards “fashion over comfort” or “comfort over fashion?”

Are your favorite outfits appropriate for most of your daily activities?

·         Do you tend to buy clothes that you are drawn to, even if they are utterly impractical for your lifestyle? If so, those clothes are definitely “your style.”

·         If you gravitate towards hot pink sundresses, but you have to wear a tailored business suit to work, try to take a bit of your style with you every day—add a colorful silk scarf to your ensemble and the longest earrings allowable at your place of employment. You won’t be wearing your hot pink sundress, but you will have a more individual look that expresses your personality.
