Published: September 10, 2015 Last Updated 4 days ago by FPN SEO

Rachel Zoe once said that “style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.” And we’re totally agreed. Finding your personal style can be tricky because you have to do a personal homework to understand what looks good on you and wear the clothes that express the unique and fabulous person that you are. This does not only help you achieve a sense of confidence and comfort, but its another way to master the art of putting an outfit together to make you stand out from the crowd. Although it takes a lot of trial and error to develop your personal style, but is it not better to try and fail than not trying at all? Of course in no time you’ll get to your destination. The good thing? It’s your personal style – no  rules and seasons governing it.

So now we ask: what’s your personal style? In this world where they’re bunch of people with different stylebook, you cannot hope to look your best by copying someone else. All you need is to master your own mathematical formula to get the answer. And that’s exactly where we come in. Flip through the pages to discover:

 

#1. Understand Your Body Type:

 

Understanding your body type is very vital in this journey, because its a guide to knowing what work best for you. By understanding your body, you’re sure of buying the right cloth with the best silhouettes.

#2. Conduct a Thorough Wardrobe Screening:

 

 

This part can be painful because you’ll have to do away with so many things. Start by separating out the pieces that you feel are not worth having anymore (maybe because of size and fit, color, non-inspiring etc). In fact just get rid of anything that does not make you feel good and comfortable no matter how much you bought them – so that you can begin to rebuild and refine your wardrobe with a style that truly reflects where you are in your life and career. Don’t get emotional and keep some pieces behind.

#3. Take Pictures or Keep Diary:

 

 

Keep tabs on every outfit you wear out everyday and keep records on the one that makes you feel good. On the other hand take pictures as it will help you in recognizing which outfits worked and looked good and which ones didn’t.

#4. Know The Color That Work Best For You

 

 

Personally when it comes to jeans, I can’t live without dark blue color. That’s what I have in my rotation because I feel very good and comfortable and above all I can team it with any top of my choice with confidence. So what do I mean? Understand how certain colors makes you feel, and I think is only YOU that can know the best color that work best for you.

By doing this, you’re beginning to build and refine your style.

#6. Keep an Eye on Every Item You Buy:

 

There’s absolutely no need to emphasize how a fit garment can look good on you. You must take it serious to buy any item of clothing that fit you perfectly, because if it does not it will never look good on you. And this is the right time go back to your pinterest board. But in case you’re a type that loves buying fine things whether properly fit or not, make sure there’s a good tailor out there that can easily alter it to fit you.
