Finding your personal style isn’t about following rules or fitting into one box. It’s about understanding what you love, what feels good on you, and building outfits that reflect who you are right now. Style is something you discover over time, not something you need to “figure out” overnight. Let’s dive into how to find your personal style step by step!
Discover Your Style Inspo
The easiest way to start finding your style is by looking outward first. When you notice outfits, people, or aesthetics you’re drawn to, patterns start to appear and that’s where your personal style begins to take shape.
Pinterest is your best friend here. Create boards and pin anything that speaks to how you want to dress, whether it’s everyday outfits, colors, silhouettes, or overall vibes. Over time, you’ll start to notice similarities that help you name your style and narrow down what you’re actually looking for.
Next, analyse your current wardrobe and what’s already working. Ask yourself which pieces you reach for the most and why. Do you gravitate toward certain colors? Are there cuts or silhouettes you always feel confident in? Do you love prints, or do you lean toward clean, solid tones? Study your current style!
Understand Yourself & Style
Your wardrobe should support your life, not complicate it. Instead of focusing heavily on what you think you should wear, think about which silhouettes make you feel comfortable and confident.
Your lifestyle and personality play a huge role too. What you wear day to day should align with how you spend your time, whether that’s work, social plans, travel, or downtime. Your hobbies can also be an unexpected source of inspiration, from sporty elements to vintage influences or relaxed, off-duty fits.
Build Your Wardrobe
Before adding anything new, start by taking inventory of what you already own. Decluttering helps you see your wardrobe clearly and makes it easier to identify gaps.
From there, focus on building a strong base of quality basics you can mix and match easily. Think pieces that work across multiple outfits and occasions. Accessories, colors, and prints are where you can show off your personality.
Don’t be afraid to experiment by pairing pieces you wouldn’t usually wear together. Some of the best outfits come from unexpected combinations. A capsule wardrobe mindset can also help simplify your style while still keeping it versatile! Find everything you need to know about how to build a capsule wardrobe.
Experiment with Accessories
Accessories are one of the easiest ways to elevate your outfits without overthinking it.
Start with a few everyday staples you reach for on repeat, like simple hoops, a chain necklace, or a couple of rings. Then build a rotation of statement pieces you can swap in depending on the outfit, like chunky bangles, pendant necklaces, or playful earrings.
Belts are another underrated styling tool. We love wearing wide belts worn low on the hips right now - a super easy and flattering styling hack! Try them over midi and maxi skirts, capris, or micro shorts.
Sunglasses are a non-negotiable and bags are the perfect place to play with detail. Think studs, eyelets, buckles, or oversized slouchy shapes to complete your look.
Use trends as a guide, not a strict rule book! The key is choosing trends that complement your existing wardrobe and make you feel confident. Right now, trends like polka dots, stripes, capris, off-shoulder and slouchy tops, corsets, tanks, studs, and embellishments are everywhere. Pick what resonates!
Your style will evolve, and that’s a good thing, but you don’t need to add a new look to your wardrobe every weekend. Instead, focus on reworking what you already own. Try new styling combinations, layer differently, or accessorise in different ways.
When it’s time to let go of pieces you no longer wear, you can try donating, reselling, or swapping with friends. Then, go back to step one and find some pieces you want to add to your forever wardrobe!
