How To Identify Your Personal Style
Building your best wardrobe is all about finding and wearing clothes that fit your shape, style, and life.
But what is your style?
Understanding and identifying your personal style is a key element in building your best wardrobe for a few reasons.
You want to feel comfortable in your clothes, not like you are wearing a costume.
You want your wardrobe to easily mix and match with itself.
You want to show up as your authentic self.
Personal style is made of three things, and this what they are…
Pattern + Prints
What patterns and prints feel authentic for you to wear, and not like a costume. Maybe polkadots are your love language, or maybe you feel like a clown when yo wear them. Maybe florals are a staple in your wardrobe, or maybe you avoid them at all cost. The patterns and prints that you are drawn and that feel comfortable for you to wear are part of what make up your personal style.
Color
The colors that best compliment your complexion will be the colors that deliver the best look when you wear them. The colors that work for you will be the colors that work for your wardrobe. Color is an essential part of your personal style because you want to be sure you can mix and match your wardrobe with ease. If a color compliments you, it will compliment what already have in your closet.
Details
Things like ruffles, eyelet, lace, tassels, pockets, etc. These are all details that contribute to an overall look or style. Details are the final touch that give a look a preppy or boho look, a classic or romantic look. As they say, the devil is in the details, and when you miss the mark you will feel like you are wearing a costume instead of feel comfortable.
