Repeating the same style every day can be tiring and even depressing. Fashion is dynamic, and styles change periodically. This is why ‘refining’ your personal style is essential. Refining your personal style is all about experimenting. You might need to add a few more outfits, but picking economical and sustainable options shouldn’t require you to rob a bank or buy out all the Louis Vuitton stores just to change a few things. Try different styles and find what works best for you. Your personal style can become more interesting by playing with colour, texture, and shape.
GUIDES TO REFINING YOUR STYLE
- Closet Clean-Out: Eliminate the items in your wardrobe that you don’t need or wear, and really evaluate the ones you do. Yes, there might be some dresses with sentimental value, but ask yourself, ‘Do I need them?’ If not, please let them go.
- Dwell in Your Favourites: Choose your favourite bottoms (trousers, skirts, etc.) and tops (could be a hoodie) and pair them with your favourite shoes or heels. Make sure to repeat and restyle your favourites, as you don’t always need to wear a different outfit every day.
- Experiment: This is where the magic happens. Remember, style is all about experimenting. Pick your favourite bottoms and pair them with different colours of casual or formal tops, shoes, boots, and necklaces. You can also get creative with the styles!
- Evaluate Regularly: Keep track of the pieces you love, wear, and have had for a long time. Let go of dresses you don’t use. A wardrobe turnover is perfectly fine! Holding onto outfits that no longer reflect who you are is unnecessary. Your life is constantly changing, so it’s okay for your wardrobe and personal style to change with it!
Refining your style is not limited to anyone. Everyone can do it either periodically or yearly. You can even create an inspirational board for this and document your outfits. Make sure to have fun with it no pressure, because style is dynamic!
