BLOG: How to find your own style
It is important that one finds their own style by exploring and experimenting with clothing choices. Listed below are five ways one can find their own style.
- Seek inspiration
This is an important first step to finding one’s own style. Personally, I would always scroll through Pinterest to find outfit inspirations. Another way to seek inspiration is to research a favorite celebrity’s style.
- Clean out closet
This is one of the most important steps in finding one’s own style and will also help one save money. Looking in the closet for what already owns can help to decide what one’s style already is. It is always a good idea to go into one’s closet to freshen up one’s wardrobe. It is much easier to establish one’s style with the clothes that one already owns. I recommend keeping basic clothing but getting rid of clothing that one would only wear once.
- Consider lifestyle
One may ask, “what lifestyle do I already have, or what lifestyle am I going to have?” It is important to consider what type of job one will have in the future, or what job one currently has. Does one need professional attire for their work, or is one’s job more laid back? If the work environment is casual, I would recommend adding jeans and basics into one’s style. It is also important to consider future changes such as a new job or moving to a new city.
- Shop smarter
It is always a good idea to shop smarter when looking for clothes to accommodate one’s style. Having basics in one’s closet will help when establishing one’s own style. Typically, basics are lesser priced, which is good when one is on a budget. Personally, I do not think that it is a bad thing to splurge on clothing, shoes, accessories, etc., but one has to be smart about it. Obviously, one should not splurge all the time, unless one has the money to do so. To establish a style, one does not have to have expensive clothing to do so. Shopping smarter will help aid in one’s search to establish one’s own style.
- Be authentic
Being authentic means; one is being real and/or genuine. It is important that one remains authentic when searching for one’s style. This is the best way that one’s style will stay consistent. It is important to own one’s style and be confident in what one is wearing. Find one’s style that is truly going to make one feel confident and beautiful. Something that makes one feel confident and beautiful never goes out of style. One’s style should reflect one’s personality, individuality and life. Being authentic will help one find one’s own authentic style.
