In today’s time, expressing oneself has become more relevant than ever. But staying true to your identity in self-expression is the key to make an impact that will last.
Having a personal style is not only about what brand’s clothes you wear but it is also about finding a place where you feel comfortable, confident yet stylish in a way that reflect your individuality.
We are living in times where not only everybody is striving to find their personal style but also displaying it profusely, thanks to social media, which makes it confusing for people looking for inspiration.
Here is a simple, basic yet very effective guide to how you can settle on a personal style that makes you look and feel great while upholding your individuality.
Discover yourself first:
Discovering yourself is an art. But you have to begin in the right order. Do not rush. Take your time to discover what values you stand for, your personality traits and your likes and dislikes. Also, consider your body type to determine what silhouettes will flatter your body.
Whether you like classic pieces or trendy looks, what colors you like and what patterns you prefer. Sort out your style inclinations.
This awareness will help you understand what will resonate with you better. Don’t feel shy to ask for a friend’s or family member’s opinion if you are unsure of something. Getting a neutral perspective will refine your style and keep a check if you are on the right track.
Take Inspiration:
After you have sorted out your preferences, there is no harm in exploring what’s working for people who you can resonate with. Be it fashion influencers, media celebrities or magazines, feel free to get inspired and get clarity.
But while doing that, don’t forget to incorporate you own lifestyle and your routine as well. What do you do for a living and what will be practical for you? For example what is looking great on your favorite actor in a movie may not work for you at work in terms of practicality if you are a lawyer.
Don’t be afraid to Experiment:
When you feel that you have developed a better understanding of your body type, lifestyle and personality, it’s time to start experimenting with different styles. Try on different things and observe what looks and feels good.
Feel free to try something new or take a risk whether it’s a new haircut, a new color to be added to your look, or a new outline of clothes, try new things and see what works for you. Remember, this is your personal style voyage, there is no objective conclusion of right or wrong. Enjoy the process.
Invest in Quality over quantity:
When you buy new clothes, focus on quality over quantity. Invest in well-made pieces that fit well and can be used at multiple events. Remember to recycle your clothes as our better future lies in sustainability.
Though there is no need to disrupt you budget but it is better to have a collection of stuff made of good quality fabric, stitching and durability than having a closet full of clothes and shoes that are cheap and won’t serve you any purpose in the long run.
Accessorize
Men usually tend to overlook this part of styling but accessories if done right can actually help elevate your look. Here again, invest in fewer but quality articles that can go a long way. Be it a nice watch, a simple belt to go with every kind of pants, Hats and beanies or even jewelry if not overdone, accessories can add quite a lot to your overall physical appearance. Experiment with different types of accessories to see what works best for you.
Remember, it is not just going shopping and picking stuff. Here you are trying to develop your personal style according to your interests. It will and it should take time, work and persistence.
