Style is pretty much having something that works for you, that is classic, sustainable and flattering. Your style takes time to find and after great intentionality you will find it. Style isn’t cookie-cutter either. It can be creative and predictable at the same time.
HERE ARE FIVE BASIC, BUT USEFUL TIPS, ON HOW TO FIND YOUR STYLE.
KNOW YOUR BODY SHAPE
It’s important to find out what your body shape is. There are generally five body shapes: apple, triangle, hourglass, inverted triangle, and rectangle.
Your shape is calculated by body measurements and ratios. Knowing your shape will help you pick clothes that compliment your frame. This is an important first step.
FIGURE OUT YOUR COLOUR SCHEME
It is also important to know what colours make you feel good, happy and confident. Neutral colours usually flatter most shapes, but maybe not the same shade works for everyone.
For example, creams rather than white, can look better on certain skin tones. White can make some people look pale and washed out, but an off-white cream or ivory colour can flatter better. The same could be said for the reverse. Cream and white are in the same family, but the shades work differently on everyone. Finding what colours look best on you is mostly determined by your skin tone.
This is where you need to determine your skin tone. There are usually three types: warm, cool, or neutral. Are you warm with golden, peachy or yellow undertones, or cool with pink or reddish undertones or a combination of both, as a neutral? The easiest way to find out is through the colour of your veins. If it’s green, your tone is warm. If your veins look blue, your tone is cool. If you have a combination of green and blue, then you are neutral.
DEFINE YOUR STYLE PERSONALITY
The other question is this—what do you want your clothes to say about you? Do you want to appear organized and put together? Or do you want to show a relaxing side?
Maybe both? Interestingly, clothes say a lot about you to others. Knowing this, you could use clothes to your advantage to showcase your personality. The individuality of your clothes can be a fun aspect of dressing. Read More...
