8 Tips to Help You Develop Your Style

With Christmas fast approaching, It’s a perfect time think deep about your personal style.
You see an influencer’s style and wonder “what makes it look so good?”.
Well, you’re about to find out…

Here are 8 tips to help you find your personal style

1. Look for inspiration. Admire a certain celebrity’s fashion sense? Take a detailed look at what they’re wearing. How does their shirt fit? What colors are they wearing? What is it exactly you like about that person’s style? Develop a portfolio of your favorite styles to inspire your next outfit!
2. Look in your own closet. What items do you like best? Pull them out and figure out why you like them the best? Are they cozy? Do you feel confident in them? Is the quality, just right? These are the qualities you will be looking for in your next purchase.
3. Bring a friend. Bringing a friend to try on outfits is a perfect way to gain a different perspective that might stick. You see, we get engrained in what we already know and like. Having a friend to coax you into trying on an outfit you wouldn’t normally try can open your eyes to different styles!
4. Get with the lingo. Different styles have different names. Here are a few styles to get familiar with: vintage, bohemian, casual, vibrant, elegant, cowgirl, business formal, goth, and punk. Incorporating small elements is is a good way to ease into these styles!
5. Try on a friend’s clothes. Have a friend with impeccable fashion sense? Ask if you can try on their clothes. This will open doors to new outfits you may not have known you liked.
6. Less is more. Clean out your closet! Yes, that’s right, cleaning out your closet can help streamline your wardrobe and make you think more clearly about what items go well together. From there, the next time you are shopping, you will have a better idea of what you need to fit your fashion vision.
7. What is your lifestyle? Developing your wardrobe relies heavily on your lifestyle. It helps to be clear of your activities when wearing your newly developed wardrobe.
8. Don’t forget the accessories! Accessories will complete the look you’re going for. Again, look for inspiration in pop-culture or your social circle to determine what accessories will propel your personal style. You can also try accessories from the styles listed above. Feeling like a farm-girl? Try some cowgirl boots. Feeling adventurous? Try a vibrant scarf!
