Personal style is a seemingly natural way of life for many fashion oriented individuals. However, developing a personal look can be a tedious challenge for those whose main focus is much less than the average fashionista. A lapse in styling judgment should never be something to be ashamed of, as personal style is unique to everyone and can be easily improved through positive minded development. Seeking help from others whose fashion you admire can be a useful tool. Gaining knowledge of particular fashion aspects, such as current season trends, popular styles lines, and complementing colors as well as patterns can also aide overall outfit assembly.
If you are someone who struggles with personal style, yet is motivated to change their look, here are some major tips to help you improve.
The start of your personal journey for developing a better wardrobe begins by considering your overall lifestyle. While deciding what your personal style vibe is, you should take your age, occupation, interests, and out of work activities into consideration. Keep in mind that your personal style is not limited to only one aspect of your life. You are allowed to showcase your inner self in a multitude of ways, as long as your outfit of choice appropriate for the area of life you are participating in at that moment. The goal is to represent your unique vision and creativity all while manifesting a look that presents who you want to be to the world.
In order to transform your style, a quick go through and clean out of your closet is necessary. Toss out all garments that haven’t seen the light of day in a year or two. The pieces deemed unworthy tend to be trendy seasonal pieces that lose their interest at the end of the season. In order to prevent harming the environment, make sure to discard old clothing properly by donating or recycling. Your new closet should be reduced to basic garments. Hold on to pieces that hold sentimental value and wear these pieces around the house in your leisure time as to not affect your new style choices. Begin rebuilding your style by adding essential basics to your closets, such as a good pair of jeans and neutral tanks and t-shirts. Basic garments will serve as essential building blocks to begin developing any outfit, that can be further customized to your preferences. Another bonus of collecting basics is that they should be timeless in that they should be able to remain useful through evolving fashion trends.
Develop your personal style by observing others’ personal style choices. While you’re out an about, make a point to focus your attention on others’ assembled outfits and begin taking mental notes of distinct pieces that stand out to you. Take cues from others within the same occupational or age group to evaluate the appropriateness levels and let their styling choices influence yours. Seek inspiration from fashion bearing celebrities in the same age group as yourself as another source of specific style examples.
While developing a new sense of style its crucial that you try out new things. It is necessary that you try and break out of your fashion comfort zone by wearing garments and accessories that you wouldn’t usually see yourself rocking. Although this can leave you feeling uncertain, this act can help you find garments that suit a new style, and weed out the things that don’t accompany your personal vibe.
As you evolve on your journey to personal style improvement, it’s important to remain authentic to yourself. There is no need to fall into a certain season trend if it doesn’t suit your unique vibe. Forgo the trends and find garments that fit you well and make you feel confident on both the outside and inside. Being confident is the best way to evaluate your personal style choices.
