Confidence, self-esteem, first impression, and beauty all have one thing in common; personal style. Walking into a room and creating an impact or being remembered by a stranger after one brief meeting is highly determined by your style.
Despite having a wardrobe or two with loads of clothes, do you still wake up thinking about how you have nothing to wear? You are not alone, and the main reason for this is that nothing or only a few items in your wardrobe match your style.
To wake up to a wardrobe of outfits you love to wear, read the following tips:
- De-clutter your closet when
You get home; take a look at your closet. Do you wear all the pieces in there? When did you last wear that tee, dress, sweater, jacket, or shoes? If they have been waiting to be worn for about a year or more, toss them out.
The easiest way of doing this is by getting a few trash bags and a sharpie, then labeling the bags, sells, donate, or trash. You may consider having a friend come over because it is a challenging exercise. Once you are done, take the bags where they should go, clean your closet, put back the clothes you wear because they make you feel good, and start rebuilding your style-specific wardrobe.
- Search for inspiration
To have your dream and unique wardrobe, you may consider looking for ideas and inspiration from your fashion icons. Create a list of names, then create a Pinterest board for personal style. From the different fashion items of your idols, select the standard features of the clothes worn. The reasons for choosing clothes should be identified as well. By the end of the exercise, you will have a personal style, ‘handbook.’
- Smart shopping
Once you have a personal style, you will find that you do not have all the money in the world to buy fancy clothes. This shouldn’t undermine your efforts towards looking your best; there always is an alternative. Look out for discounts. Several shops are selling good quality lux clothing cheaply.
- Be confident
Your style contributes to your confidence level. The style of your dress doesn’t matter, as long as you wear it with confidence.
- Keep your lifestyle in mind.
As you create your style board, consider your lifestyle. What and where do you work? As much as your style represents your creativity and character, the outfits you choose should fit your lifestyle. Select befitting and stylish but comfortable outfits for casual, official, and gym wear. Consider buying clothes that fit more than one category
- Buy accessories
You can pull off different looks when wearing the same outfits by accessorizing them differently. Buy various accessories for complementing your t-shirts, dresses, etc. Have several patterned scarfs, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, purses, or sling bags—this helps define your style.
A watch can also be a great accessory that tells a lot about your style. You do not need many different timepieces, a classic one that you can buy in your favorite watch store even can be enough if you choose wisely.
- Be authentic
Dress to bring out your character, individuality, and personality. It would help if you didn’t try to be someone else. Be comfortable with yourself. You have to be proud of yourself and be ready to embrace your style.
In conclusion, personal style is essential and could be your biggest struggle. These tips will ensure that you always dress comfortably and stay confident. You may consider asking for the professional help from an expert. Also, remember that a smile is your most important accessory, so wear it every day.
