Finding your Personal Style

As a fashion and clothing obsessed person, I’m all about following the trends. That being said, a part of fashion is also being your own person and creating your own personal style. Being fashionable isn’t all about following the crowds.  If you look at all of the fashion greats – Anna Wintour, Victoria Beckham, Rocky Barnes, Mindy Kaling, Chiara Ferragni and so many others, they dress to match the trends but in their own way. Being a fashionista also means being your own individual with your personal style!

To give you a helping hand in determining your own personal style, here are a few tips, tricks, and ideas!

Start by Taking Inspiration From Your Surroundings

To put your own stamp on your look, it’s crucial to take inspiration from your surroundings. This doesn’t mean copying looks you see your favorite fashion icons sporting. It means looking at what they’re wearing and incorporating those items into your own look in ways that suit your personal style and your surroundings. If you want to stand out in the fashion world, you need to put your own twist on current trends. An easy way to begin finding inspiration is to hop on social media or take a walk on the streets around you.

Shop in Boutique Stores

Boutique stores sell many of the trends found in larger, more commercial stores; they just sell smaller quantities that are not as easily found out in the everyday world. Items at boutique stores may cost a bit more because they aren’t mass produced but you will also be supporting small business owners in the process! The great thing about items at boutique stores is that they are often hand-designed and hand-made.

Tailor your clothes

The one tip you will hear from all fashion greats is the importance of tailoring your clothes. If they haven’t designed an outfit themselves – something which you could also consider doing – they tend to tailor it. That way, they can add their own stamp to a particular item and ensure that it looks unique. To put your own stamp on your clothes, all you need is a sewing machine and the ability to sew.

For ideas on how to customize different looks, Pinterest has plenty of inspiration.

Accessorize in your own way

Everyone knows that when it comes to looking good, accessories are crucial. When it comes to selecting the perfect pieces for pairing with your outfit, don’t be afraid to wear accessories in new or innovative ways. Take the time to choose accessories that are representative of you and your daily life and style.

Being fashionable isn’t always about following the masses, it’s also about finding your own sense of style. You’re unique and so, your wardrobe should be too!
