How to find your own style

n recent years it can seem like everyone is finding their style.  Although pop culture style is still extremely prevalent, most people are finding looks that timelessly suit them.  That can be frustrating for those of us who haven’t yet found their niche.

Here are some ways to find your style and how to make it work for you.

Look Back, First

Looking back is vital when it comes to figuring out your fashion future.  This step doesn’t mean you should dress as you did at 16, but it does mean you should consider why certain clothes made you feel good.

Do you see yourself drifting back to the same shade of blue year after year?  Are there a lot of chunky black boots that you’ve loved over the years?  Look at your life as a puzzle of things that you’ve liked over the years.

What pieces do you keep coming back?

Finding inspiration can be difficult because it’s not often that we find one celebrity or one icon that we want to wear all the same outfits.  Look for a handful of people who combine to give off the vibe you want.

You don’t need to buy everything they wear that you like, that could quickly break the bank.  Look for similar things that go with what they wear.  You can save further by using Kohl’s promo codes to knock clothing prices lower.

Pick One Item And Work Out From It

Is there a shirt, dress, or pair of heels in your closet that stands out?  If you bought it for yourself, you should consider why.  Often when something stands out like this, it’s because it’s a style you want to try but don’t feel bold enough to commit.  Why not just let yourself wear it and enjoy it?  You deserve to get to wear what makes you feel good, don’t be shy about that.

What Do You Have?

If you don’t hate the clothes you have, and you notice a trend in them, explore that!  If you have all black dresses and shirts, consider building that up more.  Buy accent pieces that differ from it, but embrace the color.  If you try a new style and it doesn’t work for you, the good news is you can always change your form again.

Ask For Opinions, or Wait For Compliments

We often dress for other people more than we dress for ourselves.  If you want to build up a wardrobe that compliments your body and style, feel free to ask for outside help.  Look for someone whose style you like who can help you navigate what items work for you.

What matters most of all is how you feel.  Dress in clothing that’s comfortable and makes you feel good.  You’re going to be around these clothes more than anyone else, so your opinion is the top one to consider.  You deserve to get to dress in a way that will make you happy, even if it’s not for everyone.
