5 Steps to Finding Your Style

Many people find style searching confusing. It can be difficult to distinguish between trendy and fashionable. How can you tell the difference? Let’s get to the point. We all want to know how to create our unique style.

Style is about having something that suits you. It is timeless, flattering, and classic. It takes time to find your style, but with great intention you can find it. Style isn’t cookie-cutter either. You can be both creative and predictable.

Here are five basic, but useful tips on how to find your style.

KNOW YOUR BODY STYLE

It is important to know your body type. There are five basic body shapes: rectangle, apple, hourglass and hourglass.

Your body measurements and ratios determine your shape. Your shape will allow you to choose clothes that fit your body. This is an important step.

FIND YOUR COLOUR SCHEME

It is important to understand what colors make you happy, confident, and feel good. While neutral colours are generally flattering for most shapes, not all people will like the same color.

Creams, rather than white, may look better on some skin tones. Some people may feel pale or washed out if they wear white, while an off-white cream and ivory color can look better. The reverse could also be true. While cream and white belong to the same family, the shades look different on each person. Your skin tone is the most important factor in determining which colours will look best on your skin.

This is where your skin tone should be determined. There are three main types of skin tone: neutral, warm and cool. Is your skin warm with yellow, peachy, or golden undertones? Or cool with pink, red, or both? It is easiest to determine your colour by looking at the colour of your veins. Your tone is warmer if it’s yellow. Your tone will be cool if your veins are blue. You are neutral if your veins look a mix of blue and green.

DEFINE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE

Another question is: What do your clothes say about you? Are you looking to be well-organized? Do you prefer to be relaxed?

Perhaps both. Clothing can tell a lot about who you are to others. This is why you can use your clothes to show off your personality. It can be fun to dress in your own way.

MAKE SURE THAT YOU BUY THE “RIGHT” FIT

Your body shape is often a key factor in determining your “fitness”. It is also related to your height. The fit refers to the way a garment fits on your body.

No matter what size you are, purchase clothing that fits your body.

An A-line or fit and flare dress is great for someone with a triangle shape. Fit-and-flare is best for smaller shoulders. The A-line bottom allows for more room for larger hips. Wrap dresses are flattering for apple-shaped people because they create the illusion of a slimmer waist.

KEEP A BOOK OF INSPIRATION

In order to find your style, another important thing is to observe the styles of others. If you notice someone famous, a blogger or someone you know, and you think, “I want that style,” or “They have the right body type and I like how they dress”, take note.

Make a visual board of inspirations from different outfits you have seen. If you’re not sure of your style, it’s a great place to start. You will soon become a pro.

This can seem complicated at first. These five tips will help you express your personal style in a year. It doesn’t have to be expensive. It’s all about feeling your best.
