Finding your personal style isn’t just about the clothes you wear. It’s about reflecting who you are—your personality and how you feel most comfortable in your own skin.
Whether you're in your "glow-up" era or just looking to redefine yourself, your style is the most exciting way to express your individuality.
Here’s how to find your style in a way that feels as unique as you are:
1. Ditch the Pressure of “Trends”
Let’s be real: trends are a double-edged sword. If you are always chasing them, you'll always be BEHIND. They can be fun to play with, but chasing them blindly is like trying to hit a moving target. Instead of focusing on what’s “in” right now, focus on what feels good on you today.
It's okay to incorporate trends here and there but they are not there to define your style. Only you can do that. Your style has to authentically resonate with you. This means tuning out the noise. It’s not about being the first one to wear the latest look; it’s about being the only one who wears what feels authentic. That's style!
2. Take Notes from What Excites You
If you’re drawn to minimalist design in your apartment, it’s possible that a clean, simple aesthetic resonates with you in other areas of life, including your clothing. BUT If you like bold colors and unique art, minimalism, clean and simple looks are going to BORE THE HELL OUT OF YOU! So don't try and fit into that aesthetic-it's not you. I promise it will only work for a week.
Think of this, if you gravitate towards a certain aesthetic like vintage pinup or 50's retro movies, your probably more of a classic, Old Hollywood vibe. I have a blog post that lists all of the aesthetic vibes here if your not sure.
Look around. Notice what you like. Your style doesn’t have to be an entirely new creation—it can be a remix of things that already exist in your life.
3. Experiment Without Fear of Judgment
This is where the fun really begins. Sometimes, you have to try on a few different identities to figure out what fits. This doesn’t mean you have to completely reinvent yourself, but try out new pieces, colors, and combinations. Push yourself outside of your comfort zone and embrace the idea of “fashion as freedom.”
Maybe it’s pairing an oversized blazer with your favorite sneakers, or perhaps it’s throwing a funky scarf into the mix with a simple white T-shirt. Or trying out bold makeup or a new haircut. Even if it feels awkward at first, that’s totally normal. Style is about evolution, not perfection. You might love it, or you might realize it’s not quite “you” after all. Either way, you’ve learned something about your taste. Taste translates into style!
4. Find Your Signature Piece
Every great wardrobe has a standout item that becomes your signature. It could be a pair of killer boots that you wear everywhere or a jacket that’s effortlessly cool. Some people have a thing for scarves, hats, or quirky accessories that make their outfits pop.
The key is finding something that feels like you. It should be an item you gravitate towards time and time again, an item that instantly makes you feel more confident and put-together. It’s like finding your fashion comfort zone while still giving a nod to your individuality.
5. Stay True to Yourself (Even When It’s Tempting Not To)
At the end of the day, style is about confidence and staying true to yourself. Don’t let the pressure of “fitting in” distract you from the things that make you feel good. It's easy to fall into the trap of copying others or seeking external validation, but remember: your style should reflect your story, not someone else's.
And here’s the secret: confidence isn’t about always looking perfect. It’s about wearing what feels right and looks good on you, regardless of whether it’s on trend or not. Own your choices and you’ll exude style—because true style isn’t about the clothes, it’s about the energy you bring.
