Many people misunderstand the phrase ‘personal style’. Many people believe that personal style must be something similar to a scene from The Devil Wears Prada. However, personal style is for everyone.

Studies have shown that personal clothing style has a huge impact on others and how one perceives oneself. Finding the right outfit and the right accessory can help you feel more confident such that you may end up inspiring other people around you.

To put it simply, finding your personal style is important to be the best version of yourself. This approach or method will help you understand yourself and choose clothing as a means to represent yourself.

Here are some tips you can use to develop your personal style:

Find an Inspiration

To find your style, one must also look for external inspiration. If there’s a style icon or a fashion celebrity you’re fond of, you can begin there. A few style icons you may consider are Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Princess Diana, Zendaya, and Selena Gomez.

You can further use the internet to sift through different ensembles until you find a collection of styles that you’re the most attracted to. Once you’ve got a collection, you may consider the similar theme between all the pieces. Whether casual, feminine, masculine, contemporary, minimalist or vintage, you can look for these details that will help you develop your unique style.

Put it to the Test

Once you have some idea about the theme by looking at the collection of images, you can begin testing it out. Visit a nearby couture consignment to test our different variety of clothes. Make sure to try a few outfits before you commit to one look.

Reference all the clothes that you’re trying out with the collection of images you’ve saved. You’ll be able to compare your favorite looks with the overall style that you want to achieve. Check out if you feel comfortable wearing these clothes or feel like an imposter. If it’s the latter, you can start over or make a few changes.

This process may take some trial and error, but that’s half of the fun!

Your Lifestyle

This is the biggest factor in the entire process of finding your personal style. Your personal style should be realistic and practical. Make sure that it’s something that you can wear to the office, on a night out with your friends, and in other places.

Think about your daily activities before disregarding or committing to a style completely.
