How To Find Your Personal Style

You’ve probably heard it a trillion times by now; fashion constantly changes, but style remains eternal. In reality, finding your personal style is one of the most important parts of your sustainability journey.

 In a time when over-consumerism is the lingua franca, it’s crucial to build a closet with an abundance of creative possibilities for viable outfit choices that “speak” your sartorial language. At the end of the day, your personal style is the way you choose to express yourself, untouched by the fads. Think of it as a way to reflect who you are, without having to speak a single word.

Here are our best tips on how to find your personal style and tackle decision fatigue once and for all.

Do a closet audit to spot some re-occurring themes

We all have those few superhero styles that manage to creep into our yearly rotation no matter the season. Take a look at your closet to identify which pieces make you feel comfortable and happy. You will quickly notice some patterns. Which pieces do find yourself wearing the most? What do they have in common? Maybe, you put your trust in your beloved  Essential T-Shirt styles. Or, you absolutely love one-of-a-kind, practical Dress With Belt options.

Seek fashion inspiration

The internet is chock full of fashion inspo served by celebrities, influencers, and fellow fashion enthusiasts. All you have to do is find some looks that speak to your own, personal aesthetic. Create a folder of all the looks that catch your eye on social media, or take notes of the ones you love in real life. Learn about the myriads of different style types, and spot the ones you identify with the most. Digital magazines like www.whowhatwear.co.uk, www.instyle.com, and stylecaster.com also offer huge doses of inspo daily.

Define the styles that work best for your lifestyle

If you are a fitness enthusiast who spends many hours working out per day or chilling in your favorite loungewear, mini dresses and heels (even though cute) might not be the best decision for you. Does your lifestyle include a slew of meetings, formal events, and many hours of office work? Then smart-casual clothing might be ideal. At the end of the day, your personal style should reflect your personality and aesthetic while also fitting into your day-to-day life demands.

Create your capsule wardrobe (closet staples)

Now that you have a pretty good idea of the types of clothing you like the most, start filling the gaps in your closet. The end goal is to create a healthy rotation of super versatile styles that not only withstand the test of time but also effortlessly match one another. Remember, you need to fuel your personal style through new purchases that actually hold value. 

Create a virtual diary 

Remember, having a personal style means that your fashion choices are here to make your life a whole lot easier. Chances are that you already have quite a few ideas on how to style your wardrobe superheroes. However, there is always room for further experimentation. Try to combine your trusted staples with your new purchases to create many different looks with every piece. Snap images of the best outfits to keep a virtual diary of what looks best. 

This way, you’ll minimize the decision time and have many options ready for grabs at any given moment. 

Now that you have all the tips you need on how to find your personal style, it’s time to put everything to the test.
