How to Define Your Personal Style

Pay Attention to What Inspires You
The first step in defining your personal style is to observe what naturally catches your eye. Start paying attention to:

• The outfits you admire on others
• Colors, prints, and textures that make you feel excited
• Pieces in your wardrobe that you reach for again and again

By recognizing these patterns, you’ll begin to see the foundation of your personal style emerge.

Examples of Style Archetypes - CAUTION...Don't Box Yourself In! 

To help you get started, here are a few examples of common style archetypes:

• Classic Elegance: Timeless pieces like tailored blazers, neutral tones, and simple accessories.
• Bold & Vibrant: Statement prints, bright colors, and unique, eye-catching details.
• Bohemian Chic: Flowing fabrics, earthy tones, and layered accessories.
• Minimalist Modern: Clean lines, muted colors, and understated elegance.

Which archetype resonates with you the most? Or perhaps you’re a blend of two or more styles—that’s completely normal and part of what makes your style uniquely yours!

Ask Yourself These Key Questions

To refine your personal style, take time to reflect on the following:

1. How Do You Want to Feel in Your Clothing?
   Do you want to feel confident, powerful, approachable, or relaxed? Your style should evoke the emotions you want to carry throughout your day.

2. Does Your Wardrobe Fit Your Lifestyle?
   Your wardrobe should align with the activities you do most often. For example:

   • If you work in a corporate environment, you may need polished, professional pieces.
   • If you’re often on the go, casual yet stylish outfits may be key.

   Your lifestyle plays a huge role in defining a style that’s both functional and authentic.

3. What Are Your Signature Pieces?
   Look at your current wardrobe and identify the pieces you love most. These items often hold clues about your style personality. Maybe it’s a structured blazer, a flowing maxi dress, or a statement necklace. These are your signature pieces—the ones that truly reflect YOU.
