So what are the hallmarks of personal style? 1. Comfort It starts with the clothes you feel comfortable in. Do you have one perfect pair of pants? A dress you always wear? And are you more at ease in neutrals than vivid colors? Narrow it down and don't feel guilty that you are 'boring' if beige and grey feels good to you. If clothes don't make you feel good, you''ll constantly feel insecure -- and that is as obvious to onlookers as a torn hem.
It's about neutral colors, sweaters with shape but not cling, crisp white shirts, and tailored pants or pencil skirts. When you've figured out a few of yours (Dresses with boots? Tailored jackets with jeans?), bring a critical eye to these favorites and make sure they fit as well as they can. (Get a friend to give input). Then, look for similar shapes or get a tailor to make copies. It's the best investment you can make. And suddenly, you have the core of a wardrobe that works.
2. Personality Great personal style synchs up with your persona rather than fights it. I am petite and quite modest, so I don't make outrageous statements with fashion or show off my body that much. I communicate my personality with small touches: a great shoe and a great bag. You might be the opposite. Think about the woman you are and consider if your clothes tell that story.
3. Consistency Some style icons often used just a few pieces over and over (think Jackie O's trench coat, sunglasses, and beautifully fitted T-shirts with slim pants). Stick with a focused selection of clothes that look and feel great, experiment with accessories for fun, and refine the fit, color, and texture from season to season. Not only is this cheaper than buying a whole new wardrobe each spring, it's much more genuine. It's about telling the world who you are, rather than letting fashion dictate to you.
What do you think makes for memorable personal style? I'd love to hear.Linkback:
